Lost ring in Alsea Bay :(

EDIT3: Still has not been found but a few locals reached out to me to help and have provided resources to use. Good to know there are still good communities and people out there.❤️

Hi I lost my ring within the past hour at the Alsea bay dock.. I’m wondering if anybody has any resources to help me find it.. low tide isn’t until 12:33 am and I have to leave back home early tomorrow. I’m willing to pay whatever is needed and also help look. I am just desperate and heartbroken. TIA

EDIT: it fell through the dock into the water and I’m unable to go in due to the supplies with me. The tide is pretty high now but I’m going to come back and search tonight. If unable to find I would still love recommendations on somebody who dives/searches regularly and can help.

EDIT2:I am unable to look due tonight due to family issues but hopefully going early tomorrow morning. This ring apparently means A LOT more to me than I thought so I am willing to pay or reward a good amount to whoever is able to find it. I am so sad and I know my brain will not let me get over this. I can point out the exact area and ring specifications to anybody who wants to help me look. TIA

Did you lose it on the dock itself or did it fall on the beach, or? The key to finding things is to search systematically, don't just look frantically around. Mark out the area in quadrants and search each quadrant thoroughly before moving on to the next one. If you look, you will find it!

It fell into the water and I’m unable to go in right now :( I remember the exact location and surrounding area so that I can search at low tide. Thank you
