Lost engagement ring on Port Eynon beach

The other unthinkably option is that he's an opportunist and has no intention of giving up 'his' precious.
I certainly hope not.

Well, I hope he's at least going to tell us if the ring was indeed found or if this was a joke... if he's got the ring, maybe I could convince him to "give it up", since the it's value is nothing compared to the sentimental value to us..

Oldswinger's post was slightly ironic given the nature of his one and only previous post

[ysbytymike]

Some clarification oldswinger please, as to whether its been found or not. I'm taking a group down there on Tue to look if it still there?

    Good luck to you all on the search and it  makes me proud to be A member of  Detecting Wales when I see how much help and information is offered via   the forum to members, and the public  who request help   

[Dryland]

Thats a pretty sick joke for Oldswinger to play, I hope he does say one way or
the other whether he's found it or not. Sorry bgd, I really do hope that you get
some good news soon

[Val Beechey]

Seems we have more than one sneaky snake lurking in the undergrowth.  
There are many other descriptions I could use but this is a 'family forum' and I don't see the need for bad language, it serves no purpose other than to bring one down to the level of your opponent.

I sincerely hope that BGD will not judge us all by this mans actions and that the ring is found.

What an awful thing to say for the person who has lost the ring and the people giving up their time to look for it! I hope that one us finds it on Tuesday and it can be returned!

[Val Beechey]

Mike, my take on that persons comments is that he is, once again, having a knock and hasn't been near Port Eynon.
Have a good day, all who go, and fingers crossed.

@Val: are you kidding? I am amazed and really pretty speechless about how helpful, friendly and unselfish the guys&gals in this forum are... And I do have a guilty conscience about being so far away from you all and simply 'watching' (yeah, to top it, sometimes even unpatiently!!) the search-action, not even being able to help somehow...

Immediately after losing the ring, we went on the beach again and went through the whole area with a strainer - and it was amazing how many people came over, asked what we've lost and started searching with us. I have to say, after spending some time in this forum, I'm slowly getting the impression that all welsh people are that friendly and ready to help and that's really humbling.

A big thank You!

Missed all of this  If I can get the gist of it oldswinger had found the ring, ten deleted post??
Pretty sus maddening at the best 

[The Doc]

I can't believe that a member of this forum (oldswinger) has falsely claimed to have found the ring.

I saw the post which has now been deleted, which to me had a facetious tone in the first place, almost implying (to my mind) that he had found it and would keep it.

It appears likely that, as Val says, he has never been near the place and was simply causing trouble.

I would like to reassure Andrei that this idiot is an exception. Every detectorist I know is always willing to help someone find a lost valuable and return it. It's something I have done on several occasions.

Can I suggest to admin that oldswinger is banned from the forum because of his irresponsible and hurtful post?

[The Doc]

...also if he has found it, knows the owner and refuses to return it, then this would amount to the criminal act of theft by finding!

[Val Beechey]

BGD,  be aware that not all who detect in Wales belong to this Forum. It is likely that a non member has detected that beach since you were there and your ring may already be gone.
However, rest assured that the Guys that go on Tuesday will do their very best for you. I hope they find it, I really do.
 
As for the comments of a certain person, I wouldn't put much faith in what he said. He joined the Forum in March with one thing in mind and that was the only time we have heard from him. Lets hope we never hear from him again. Yes, we are a friendly crowd and quite a few of us have stepped forward to help members of the public with various problems and will continue to do so.
