Lost engagement ring on Port Eynon beach

[bgd]

Hello everyone,

my wife lost her engagement ring on the Port Eynon beach, which made her (and myself) very sad because there's a whole story connected to it. We've lost it during our Wales-vacation, in August 2013, on sand. The ring looks like a spiral and it's silvery.

If you happen to find it, please please let us know - we'd really appreciate it!

Thank you,
Andrei

sorry to hear that Andrei.port eynon is a big beach though
 if you pm me with details of roughly where you lost it you might have a chance but because engagement rings are light they tend to get washed around a bit,i will try my best for you but cant promise anything.
would also help if you told me what date it was and  time of day it was when you lost it so i can roughly work out where the tide line was when you lost it,(how far up the beach)..
 will be happy to give it a go but dont get your hopes up yet.im good but not an expert.
i do find loads of rings but conditions are not very good for finding at the moment with too much sand covering the beaches.
 dont be put off though because i like a challenge.
  all the best mike

Hello Mike & Metalmickey & Jassy,

so thankful for your message and help! And so sorry we're not in Wales anymore, otherwise we'd have loved to assist you or at least invite you all to dinner!

Since I can't seem to be able to send a PM (the verification image isn't showed in any browser I've tried), I'm just replying to the thread: we lost the ring on Aug. 21st at around 8pm. According to the locals from the camping place, it was also the night with the highest tide of the year, but as far as we've seen, the water didn't get as high as the place where we lost it - it was on the left side of the beach as you come down the main path, past the lifeguard's cabin, something like 50-65ft/15-20m to the left. It was pretty far up from the water, something like 6-16ft/2-5m down from the beach grass line. We did filter a lot of the sand in that region with a strainer, but no luck finding it...

Thank you so very much for your time! Let me know if I can help in any way!

All the best,
Andrei

"Went down last week for a few hours to look for it". "Followed Andrei's instructions regarding distance from the Lifeguard Station and the grass but the sand in that area is FULL of waste metal, cans, nails, screws etc". "Its just where they have all the bonfires on the beach, so the sand is literally full of contaminants. There's signals everywhere you turn". "Another thing, parking charges are stupid at the moment". "£2:50 for two hours"! "Might be different now were into October but two weeks ago there was a guy sitting in a chair at the entrance to the car park so there was no way to avoid payment".

Oh, so sorry to hear that! But thanks for the update!! I also found a picture with the place where the ring was lost, if that's any help:

(close to where the pram is in the picture, maybe even more to the right, farther away from the lifeguard's cabin)

Thanks for all your efforts!
