Lost gold diamond ring near New River Sandbar.
Description
Hello all,
I know this is a wild shot, but hoping that I might have some luck— just lost my gold ring with a diamond on it earlier today along the New River Sandbar. Adding the location pins for 1) where I think I lost it and 2) the boats location (from drifting along the sandbar).

Also adding a picture below for reference— I never got the ring appraised so I’m unsure as to its value, but it was my grandfather’s wedding ring that was passed down to me so it’s priceless in value. Finder’s fee included as well, I would appreciate any help or suggestions with this!

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
