A quick return

[tnt-k9]

Yesterday afternoon I got a phone call from my favorite dive shop owner. She said "I have a very sad man in front of me, you know the rest of the story." I asked if it was lost in the water or sand and she said water. I told her I'd be there in 20 minutes.

I get there and the fellow is Brazilian and doesn't speak a lick of English and I don't speak Spanish. Through a translator I get a description and the general area where he lost it.

We walk down the beach to where he lost it and I wade into the water and within 5 minutes he's got his ring back. He's excited, the wife is excited and a few people on the beach start clapping. Life is good. Oh by the way, they got married on 9 Nov, 2013.

I told him I wanted a "photo" through sign language and pointed to the dive shop and started in that direction. Once we got back to the shop he could only say "How much, how much?"

I could barley get a picture of the ring on his finger because his hand was shaking so much. It was an 18K band, unknown weight.


Thanks for looking and good luck out there!

Great save! Looks a little loose on his finger though. Hopefully he doesn't lose it again

Great story, Tnt-K9!

Congratulations on finding that ring and returning it to its elated owner!
