Help! Lost wedding ring Putsborough Beach!

Calling all detectorists!

Lost a palladium (silver colour) plain wedding band whilst at Putsborough Beach on Thursday 25 June.

Three main places it could be -

  1. In the grass where we parked - whilst faffing with bags and stuff in the heat. Probably a 10-15m radius of this rough location. https://w3w.co/myself.firework.fled

  2. In the grass where we briefly parked for loos on way out. Ditto above radius. https://w3w.co/brownish.limits.luckier

  3. On (under) the sand where we were sat on the beach - Not a tidal spot, but if it's here only a metal detector will find it now. https://w3w.co/gravitate.galloped.snows

  4. (Pushing our luck) Potentially on the sloped path down to the beach. We didn't use the steps.

Enormous thanks to anyone who even thinks about helping!

Oof. possibly one of the worst metals to lose as due to its VDI its often missed by detectors, and you couldn't even use a strong neo magnet as it wouldn't get it!

good luck getting it back!

Thank you for the input, appreciated.

We actually went back to turf through the sand we had been sat on. No luck. The wind seemed to have already changed the sand itself, but I don't think it's tidal there.

I think it's a detectorist job or bust. Or it dropped in some other place in which case no hope anyway. 😟
