Lost Your Ring at the Beach?

Lost your ring at the beach?  Don’t worry, this is the most common place to lose your wedding ring.  Did you take your ring(s) off to apply sunscreen, put
them on your beach towel and then forget about them?  Were you playing catch in the water and throw more than just the ball into the water?  Were you simply swimming and the cold water caused your fingers to shrink?  These are all verycommon situations that end up with a lost ring.

If you are still at the location you lost the ring, drop something metal in the water as a marker.  Searching in water can be hard, because there is no frame of reference in the water.  If you can drop some large metal object, I will likely be able to find this and then we will know the general vicinity to begin the search.  You could also mark the GPS coordinates if you have a device (i.e. open up the Compass App on your iPhone).

Write down on paper (important to physically write it down) all the details that you can remember from the day you lost your ring.  You would be amazed how quickly you will forget the small details. These small details are so important when searching for a lost ring. You can also check out our Lost Ring page with some more steps to follow, but here are a couple items to note:

• How did you lose?
• Do you remember taking your ring off for any reason (wash hands, putting on lotion, etc)?
• When was the last time you remember having your ring on?
• What clothes were you wearing?  Have you checked all pockets?

If you lost your ring at a Wisconsin State Park, I will need to fill out a form which needs to include the following information in order to gain permission.

• Specific location the ring was lost.  An example of this would be “Knee to waist high water on the south beach, approximately 5 to 10 feet from shore.”
• Specific description of the ring, include material, style and any inscriptions.  Any other item that is found, must be turned into the State Park office after the search.
• First and Last Name of the person who lost the ring.
• Contact information of the person who lost the ring.

Don’t worry about getting this form or filling it out.  I will take care of all of that, and have done this many times in the past.  If you wanted, you could stop into the State Park Office and notify them of your lost ring and let them know that I will be contacting them to gain permission.

So, what are you waiting for?  Fill out the Contact Form or just call us at (608) 516-0432 or email us at [email protected].
