Here I was before dawn, on the edge of the ocean looking for a ring that I was not called to find. On the drive over, I prayed that I could locate the ring. I had seen it listed on Tuesday evening, but I had to be out of town on Wednesday. I contacted Allison the previous evening and she said that her husband could call me at 7:30 am. While I was waiting for the call, I scoured the dead low-tide sand with my trusty Minelab Manticore with the led light on.
When Cody called, he said they were there on Monday and set up between the stairs and ADA walk-down ramp. They went into the water but not very deep and only went about 50 feet North. I told him that I was confident that if it was there, I would find it.
I covered all the water areas first because the tide was coming in fast. I proceeded up the beach and into the area where they had been sitting on the beach. Nothing but a few coins and some trash.
By this time, it was almost 9 am and I was detecting the area between the stairs for the 3rd time. As I looked under the stairs, I sensed that I should go to the other side. An immediate and solid hit! It was the ring, where it should not have been but was.
All rings have a story and this one was no different; passed down from Allison’s late father! Later that day I had the privilege to give the ring to Cody! God is good-he had guided me when I needed him most.
