Ring recovery in Monterey, CA

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

Got a call from Samantha.   She had been walking with friends through the downtown tourist district at night.  And … at a point…. stopped to make a frolicking motion with her arms and hands.   She felt all 4 rings, on one of her hands, fly off.   They got flashlight, and were able to find 3 of the 4 rings (on street, sidewalk, and grass parking strip).   But the 4th one (a 3/4 carot diamond no less) eluded them.   They suspected it was in one of two landscapes right closeby , obscured from view by grass or vegetation.     Met her last night, and went to work.   Within 5 minutes, her suspicion was correct :   Right there in the grassy median.   Glad to help you Samantha !  Enjoy the rest of  your conference meetings here and your visit here to Monterey.   And thanks for the tip.

Del Monte Beach Ring found / recovery

  • from Monterey (California, United States)

A nice fellow and his wife were vacationing here in Monterey, for his wife’s birthday weekend.   The fellow went down to the water’s edge at Del Monte Beach, to wash off his kid’s sandy hands , in the ebbing surf.  To rinse off his kids’ hands.   As he did so, his ring slips off into the cold surf.   But he was momentarily unaware of this.   Then he went up to where the tidal zone meets the dry sand, and began to shake the water drops/sand off his own hands.   And it was at that point he realized his ring was gone.   He figured it must have “flung” when he’d made motions with his arms there.

 

I got the call and met him within 15 minutes on the beach.  He showed me the suspected zone.   But alas, nothing there.   Then he casually mentioned how he’d been at the water’s edge for a brief moment with his kid.   So we gave it a try further down there, and presto :  There was the ring.  Buried in the sand closer down towards the water.

 

Glad I could help.   Thanx for the tip .
