    Insurance policies differ and whether the ring is covered or not may depend on its value.

    Most require specific things to be itemised only if they're over a certain value. Others automatically cover things under that value.

    As a guideline, I've heard €1600 being used as such a figure, but of course a Ring could easily be over that if not multiples of that.

    most people who have an engagement ring continue to wear it after they get married.

    I know... I'm just joshing with them...

    Message to Churchview: We are with Quinn and they will give all risks cover but only if they are specified regardless of cost.

    Best of luck - hope it works out and hope you find it.

    You'll know now for again, but Quinn really are a case of you get what you pay for. There's a reason they're so cheap!

    I can't believe it! We've found the ring.
    Many thanks for all your comments and well wishes and again a special thanks to John, the good samaritan who was willing to lend his detector to someone he's never met. I'll never ever forget it.

    Yes we found it on the beach. We were searching for over an hour and then decided to go the other direction and within a few minutes we found a cheap earring and a trolley coin that I had also lost. I couldn't believe it and a man who was holidaying from Cork came down from the prom to help us. Then we found the ring. I really didn't believe it was possible - there's been four tides since Monday evening but it just goes to show, you never know until you try. Sometimes the impossible is possible.

    Also a big Thanks to the person who loaned you the Detector. It's those kinda people that gets us through and helps us on our way here in Ireland, and an admirable aspect that Ireland would be known for I reckon ...... It's a shame with time comes change, but John and the Corkonian proved it's still possible .....


    **Is there a Diving Club in Galway .... They might have experience losing things maybe they could let ya know who to ask or how to go about trying to find something on a beach.

    I'm very surprised the Garda weren't more helpful or did you actually ask them?**

    Didn't really ask the guards to do anything. Reported it lost on the beach and they just took details. I didn't know if someone had picked it up after we were gone. The metal detector, I felt, was a longshot but one that worked out in the end.

    There is a diving club in Galway but as the ring was lost on the beach I don't know if they could have offered much advice. For now I'm ecstatic that I have the ring back and it's going to be valued and placed on the insurance asap. And there's a new addition to the going to the beach checklist: Take off jewellery.

    Delighted to see that you got sorted.

    The jeweller you bought it off should be able to sort a valuation for you without any hassle.
