11-Year-Old Girl Finds Diamonds In The Tide

Recently, News 8 received an email from a mother and daughter hoping that we could unravel a mystery that came in with the tide. Their story unfolds like a Hollywood tide.
Every day in Point Loma, people come to check out the tide pools. You never know what you might see there -- a cruising crustacean, a hermit crab looking for a hook-up, a mussle on the hustle. Last month, Lindsay Bovenkamp and her mother Robyn Campbell were checking out the pools, and they couldn't believe their eyes.
"For a second I thought it was a bottle cap or something, but then I looked back, because it shined," Lindsay said.
"I mean, how many people go to the ocean and find a man and a woman's wedding ring tied together with what looks like a pretty fancy lacy ribbon," Robyn said.
For these self-confessed romantics who admit to watching the movie "Titanic" more than 10 times, it didn't take long to conjure up a storyline.
"For us, it's just trying to understand who they were, what is the story behind it. It could be a movie," Robyn said.
Lindsay has already begun the screenplay.
"We were walking, and the sun was shining on the most beautiful rings," she said.
A trip to a local jeweler only peaked their imagination.
"He said without a doubt, based on the barnicles on the man's ring and the massive tattering, they've been in the water for a very long time," Robyn said.
So the plot thickens.
"To us it's a very romantic tragedy kind of story," Robyn said. "We would just like to learn what it is and then ultimately put the rings back where they belong."
Could the rings have been tossed into the brine as the symbol of an unrequited love, an everlasting love? The answer lies in the tide.
