apparently it happens a lot, because I see people with metal detectors there often...

My wedding ring flew off while playing beach volleyball one time. Had I not seen where it landed I would have had a hard time finding it. It sank into the sand

About 10 years ago at Destin for July 4th, we found 20 pairs of sunglasses in the ocean, including Costas, Chanel, and Oakleys.

Wife found a wedding band with initials on it in destin this year. She posted a flyer on condo elevator and called the staff but we never heard anything. Actually we were more around mirimar (sp?) beach area.

When I was a kid I found some sweet brass knuckles in the sand.

A few years ago in Orange Beach my wife lost a pair of Costas. I put a mask on and went looking. Ended up finding seven pairs of glasses in about 30 minutes. Did not find her Costa 580's though.

I found a diamond ring in the surf off of destin when I was about 10.

Give it to my mom when I found it and she had it appraised ($800)

She still wears it to this day

My husband lost his ring around Miramar about 10 years ago. We hit the Zales outlet on the way out to replace it. The lady said it happens all the time.
The next couple of summers we took a metal detector with us to see if we could find any lost rings but we found nails and some junk.

2 weeks exactly after my wedding I lost my tungsten band throwing logs on a fire. I saw it fly in, but couldn't get to it until the next morning as the fire was massive. It looks unique now and I get a lot of compliments on it.

Guy I used to work with found a men's Rolex. Had engraving on back. Haven't seen him in years but he was wearing it proudly last time I saw him.

You can find dozens and dozens of shades at Crab island after the 4th or Billy Bowlegs if you just go snorkel for them the day after.

Lots of people do it and sell them.

Around holidays, in busy places with clear water, we were literally stepping on them while swimming in the surf. Got some masks and dove and just kept finding pair after pair
