Ruth and her husband on their honeymoon were swimming in waist deep water beach side of Port Stephens when he felt his wedding band slip from his finger.
3 day old wedding ring found
As they where divers they instantly froze on the spot as not to lose the location in the hope of spotting the ring underwater. But Heavy gold rings bury themselves instantly in about an inch of sand the second they hit the bottom as a rule. They hired some diving gear and went back to the beach that they accurately marked to their credit but visual searching was in vain. It was starting to become apparent that newly weds where at greater risk of losing their rings. Well the way Jewellery Rescue works is we send the closest properly equiped detectorist, in this case from Newcastle metal detector hire an hour away (the couple where more than happy to cover extra fuel costs incurred). Andrew meet the couple and started metal detecting the water where the ring came off Ruth said the dive shop thought the ring would be washed away. The facts are gold simply settles deeper as the sand moves unless their are very strong currents. Andrew pulled up quite a few metal items and just before dusk they found the ring in the water so tonight it wont be residing with the fishes. There now 4 day old weeding ring was restored to them both clearly a happy couple no photo reqired here.
