David gave Crystal Coast Ring Finders a call just before dark. He stated he went to the beach and upon returning to his home, noticed his wedding band, he never removes, was gone. David asked if I wanted to search the following day and I asked if he was near a public access on the beach. I was worried with the popularity of metal detecting, someone would find the ring before morning. David said yes it was near a public place so I said I would get there as soon as possible.
Upon arrival, I picked up David and we rode closer to the beach access. David showed me where he parked his golf cart then grabbed a chair and a cooler and headed to the beach. I noticed there were about 5 vehicles parked. We arrived at the place where he was sitting and a small group was nearby for a sea turtle hatch about to happen. Fortunately, David was sitting far enough away I was able to search all around where he was sitting. Nothing but trash was found during the beach search and I also searched the sand up to the steps leading to the street. After a very thorough search, we returned to the parking area where it was now very dark and a vehicle was now in the area David’s golf cart was earlier that day. I turned my headlamp on high beam and started to search around the vehicle. I was looking for the bright reflection of the light beam on David’s ring. Finally moving the back of the vehicle, and close to David, I spotted his ring laying in the street edge. David was very relieved after snatching it up from the road.
I told him earlier, “I hate when I can’t find it!”.
