Couple weeks ago I posted this. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/t...ling-first-silver-s-maybe-one-more-first.html
This Sunday I had the great pleasure of handing the ring back to the mother of the son that lost it a little over 2 years ago.
If you look in the background you can see where the water should be. Part I still don't understand is son said he saw the ring slip off and drop into the silty bottom. They searched with mask and snorkel. Could not find the ring.
Fast forward a year and the water had dropped considerably due to the drought out here. They hired a detectorist to search. He looked for more than eight hours. No Ring. Fast forward another year. The whole family dug, scooped, and sifted. Still no ring. Now this year I found it way above the waterline. In fact, the ring was found less than ten feet from where the mother and I are standing!
The community near the beach has an online bulletin board. I called the lady that runs the board and gave her a very general description of the ring and where it was found the day after I found it. In less than four hours I had a very happy wife on the phone. She gave me a very precise description.
Mother and different son were in the area this weekend to shut down their cabin for the winter so they made the pickup.
Was good to pass the ring back.
