The sky over Cape Cod was alight with sparkling showers and thundering reports from the barrage of sky rockets set off to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States and a 20th upcoming anniversary. Chandler had been enjoying it all until the moment he felt something hit his ankle while walking off the sandy beach. His wedding band had slipped off his finger while removing his cellphone from his pocket.
As is the case in so many such occurrences all the searching of a sandy area by hand proves fruitless. It is then time for professional help from a member of TheRingFinders.com. This is just what Chandler did. I received the call just as dinner was being served. I could have put off the search until the morning but it is always best to search as soon after a loss occurs. 7AM worked for me but not Chandler. OK, I have my dinner plate saved and I will reheat it when I get back from the beach, it would not have been a first for me and I could not let Chandler have a sleepless night, agonizing over the missing ring on his finger.
On my way to the beach I was delayed by a bad accident and a long detour as usually happens on Cape Cod. When I arrived at the beach Chandler was already there pacing the area where he felt the object hit his ankle the night before. A short conversation and the Best Guess area was marked off On my fourth pass I had my first signal which sounded very promising and it was. The ring I was searching for was in my scoop. A little shake to remove sand and I let Chandler remove the ring and place it back on his finger.
Two quick pictures, a short walk back to our cars and Chandler would make his evening engagement and I would be home in a half an hour and a reheated Chinese dinner.
