I had been on the beach all morning when I got a call from June. She said that her friend
Daphne had lost her grandmother‘s ring at the dog park at Ponce Inlet. I told her I was nearby
and they said they could meet me there in one hour.
When June and Daphne arrived, Daphne was very distraught about losing her grandmother’s
ring. They took me to the river and showed me where they had been. I gridded all the entire
area … No luck. It was very hot so I told them they could leave, and I would finish the search
and give them a call if I had any questions.
They had only been gone about five minutes when (in my best Columbo fashion) I called June
and asked her when they had noticed the ring was missing. She said they had actually pulled
over in a Truist bank and checked for it on the way home. I told her I was getting nothing at the
dog park and that she might want to go to the bank and check the parking lot. She said it
couldn’t be there because she would’ve noticed it
Five minutes later I got a call from Daphne saying they had found the ring in the bank parking
lot…broken but repairable.
The ring was not found with a metal detector, but nevertheless… Mission accomplished!!!
