While visiting family in Panama City Beach this weekend I had a couple of hours to hunt the beach there. My son and I started hunting late in the afternoon on Friday and had only worked a short distance on the beach when we were approached by a young fellow who had just had his wedding band slip off his finger when he tried to catch a football while standing in the wet sand in the edge of the surf. He was in the motion of throwing his hands up to catch the ball when he said the ring came off. He believed it went backwards from where he was standing and into the water. I checked the probable area directly behind him in the water for about an hour and got several hits, mostly change and tops, but no ring. My son and I had to leave since we had family waiting on us. Afterwards, I thought I probably would have done better by standing exactly where the fellow had been standing when the ring came off and working a spiral from that point to include the dry sand since I now believe it was probable that the ring may have landed nearer to him at the edge of the water. I have the contact information for the fellow. The wedding band is White 14k and I didn't get the size but he was of average size so I would guess about an 11.
I marked the location by a landmark. It is at the Calypso Towers near the Pier at Panama City. Standing on the beach facing the towers, there an opening in the two towers. If you stand facing the opening, the location of the loss is on a line directly to the beach from the edge of the right tower to about the 8th row of windows in the right tower. That would be the starting point. I won't get to that area again until Christmas or New Years.
I promised the guy I would put this on our forum just in case any of you end up there in Panama City although I seldom see anyone on here hunting that area.
Thanks for reading.
