Thanks Maximilien, I did that.

Can you (or anybody else) suggest some other forum where I could post the message?

@ LostRing: You can also post your message in french on the francophone forum Alicante .

Thank you, Hasnaa,

unfortunately neither I nor any of our friends speaks French. I could try google's translate, but the results tend to be more like a joke. Or what do you think about it:

"Ma femme a r茅cemment perdu (vendredi 14 F茅vrier) un anneau 脿 la plage de Postiguet 脿 Alicante. Nous avons essay茅 de le localiser, mais nous n'avons pas trouv茅. Notre avion pour rentrer chez departured aussi bient么t, alors nous avons manqu茅 de temps aussi. La bague ne vaut pas grand-chose, mais a une valeur sentimentale.

Si quelqu'un est pr锚t 脿 chercher, trouve et retourne, nous pouvons payer une commission d'interm茅diaire, par exemple, 聙 50 apr猫s la trouver et 100 euros en cas de l'anneau a 茅t茅 retourn茅. Et des co没ts d'affranchissement de cours. Nous avons des photos de la r茅gion et pouvons pr茅cision PinPoint farely o霉 il peut 锚tre. Bien s没r, quelqu'un peut avoir d茅j脿 trouv茅 ...

Je suppose un d茅tecteur de m茅tal est n茅cessaire. En fait, juste un jour avant, nous avons vu quelqu'un qui recherche la plage avec un. Malheureusement, il n'茅tait pas l脿 quand nous avions besoin.

Donc, si quelqu'un est pr锚t 脿 lui donner un aller, s'il vous pla卯t envoyez-moi un message priv茅 et je vous enverrai une photo de la zone et une photo de la bague."

Hi LostRing,

I found the google translation in french very good and very easy to understand for french speaking people. So i think that you should create a new topic with this translated message on the Alicante french speaking forum as well. It may increase you chances to find your ring very soon.

Good luck,

Thank you Priscilla! I posted the message there.

I called on Monday to the local police for lost items. They said that they have one ring, but it didn't sound the correct one. We agreed that I send a photo by email so that they can compare. I did send the message, but so far they have not replied. I did a google translation today of the same message to Spanish and resend the email. Hopefully they reply now.

I've also send email to Alicante Tourist office, but they haven't replied either.

I got a reply from the police. It came from another email address than where I had originally send the message. They only replied that this is the airport police, not the Postiguet Beach police. I have no idea why the message was forwarded to them. I replied whether they could send me the correct email address. They replied that I should try internet search "lost objects Alicante". I found Alicante's website and in Spanish a form where you can fill date and search words for lost items. I tried with "anillo" and "joya", but there were no results. Again I send an email to the airport police that if they could kindly send me the correct email address. They replied by sending a link to the same form that I had just used. Again I've send them a request to send me the correct email address and cc'ed it to the original email address. Fingers crossed...

I think your best bet if it's not too late would be to head back to the beach after dark and look for a guy with a detector. In summer at least there are loads of guys scanning the beach before the sand sweeping trucks move in and after watching them for a while they seem to pick up quite a bit of stuff.

It's a long shot and even if they did find it you may never know but surely it's worth a try.

Thanks JB40, but we are not in Spain anymore...
