Lost Wedding Ring at Newport Beach, CA. Found and Returned to Owner

Timing is important to be successful finding a ring at the beach.. Call Stan the Metal Detector Man ..
*** Karla was enjoying a day at Newport Beach, CA. when she lost her diamond engagement ring in the sand. She had taken off her ring to apply sunscreen, setting the ring on her towel for the moment. Something distracted her and she didn’t remember to put it back on her finger. While picking up her items to leave the beach, she realize that her ring was missing. Of course, she took time to try to find it by dragging her fingers through the sand which proved to be frustrating.
She went to her smart phone and googled how to find a ring in the sand and eventually found my contact information. I was able to meet her on the beach shortly after we talked. Our conversation was short, once she told me, she lost it in the sand, and she was still at the location. That was all I needed to know. It is more important to meet her on the beach as soon as possible, than to waste time discussing the small details.
After so many years of finding sentimental keepsakes for people, I’m used to seeing the despair and people’s faces when they think they’ve lost the item forever, especially wedding rings. Karla was no exception. The first thing I told her was, not to worry, this should be an easy recovery.
It only took a few minutes, and I had her beautiful diamond ring in my scoop. The success of this search was because Karla realized her ring was missing before she left the beach. Secondly, she did not spend too much time trying to recover the ring by hand sifting the sand. The most important thing she did was call a professional Metal Detecting service.
