Ring recovered in Santa Cruz, Nisene Marks park
Got a call from “Madison”. Visiting from Sacramento, to Santa Cruz / Watsonville. Her & some friends spent the day hiking several miles of trails in Nisene Marks park. Prior to starting the hike, she had taken off her 1 carat diamond solitaire ring, and put it into her jacket pocket “for safe keeping”. She also had her smart phone in the same jacket pocket.
During the course of a ~4 mile hike, she had taken the phone out, several times, for picture taking, checking her GPS, etc… At the end of the day, she realized her ring was not in the pocket any longer. She figured it must have come out during the hike. And thought maybe the action of pulling the phone, in and out of the pocket, could have caused the ring to come out . Eg.: Maybe the “crown” gets caught on the rubber edge of the phone casing, etc…
Sure enough, after ~3 hrs. retrace hike, we were able to find the ring, under leaf-duff, at one of the spots where she’d stopped to take pix. Glad your heirloom is back safely in your family Madison ! Nice meeting you guys. Glad I could help. Thanx for the tip.
