One and a Half Rings

Last night I found half a 925 ring in the dry sand. The telltale sign of beachcomber tines were all over so perhaps it was the cause. It still counts!

Walked a bit further down the beach and found a slope that has been productive in the past. The starfish 925er was at the very bottom of the slope and at least a foot deep. The ability of a properly tuned Minelab Sovereign GT, combined with a slow and low swing, to sniff out deep targets always has me nodding in approval.

Two Hunts, Two Broken Chains

Hit dry sand volleyball courts on Sunday evening, April 12, 2015. Found the shorter piece of a broken 18K chain then about three feet away I found the longer piece.

Last night, Monday, April 13th, I detected a wet sand slope that yielded a 1941 S wheat penny, and a thin silver chain that I believe I broke with my sand scoop during recovery. The bent 1947 plain Roosevelt dime was dug up on March 10th at a local, vacant lot I've pulled up some oldies at in the past.

Tiffany & Co. Ring Return Update

After the return I wrote about on March 11, 2015, I emailed a follow-up to the Assistant Store Manager of Tiffany & Co. who helped me locate the owner of the lost engagement ring. I received a response with a heartfelt thank you and a message that if there were anything the company could do to aid me in the future they'd be happy to assist.

A week later I received another email explaining how the story had made the rounds through management and the retailer wished to offer me a gift. I was surprised and honored to say the least. Below are pictures of the gifted Tiffany & Co. pen as well as the letter that arrived with it.
