I am going to go ahead and give it to Zoa! Well done! You had it first, and just need to elaborate a little. This is essentially exactly what is going on.

Jeep you will get a consolation prize as well:)


In the original post, the only hint I gave was to assume nothing. Oddly enough, I believe you had all gone on to assume one major thing about this photo that is entirely false, and that is that it was taken by me;) It was in fact taken by Alan G himself. The screen shot tells the tale:) Excuse the typos) I honestly thought this up in about one second. No
prior planning at all. He sent me the pic, and I was thinking of a creative way to explain the triumph of the pic, and that's how this all came to happen:)

I have been looking for my ring all week, and even rented a metal detector with no luck. The funny thing is, I sent three coral orders out that same day and actually unboxed them entirely thinking it may have been in there. I boxed the skimmer so early in the day that I convinced myself there was no way it was in there. And didn't even look. I decided I'd better have Alan be on the look out as a desperate last gasp. Just in case it ended up in there. I was not holding my breath however. Goes to show you. Never give up hope.

We'll done everyone! ZOA, I will ship your pack any day next week that works for you. I think I may actually have it, but just in case, PM me with your address and such and I'll get you all plug into fed ex.


Thanks again Alan for playing along and not giving it away!!


Hope this was a fun little departure from the usual reef forum discussion! Thanks a lot for all the guesses! You guys are all on your way to becoming junior detectives lol;)

Yay! Congrats to Zoa!

This was fun.
Fortunately for you, Alan is a man of integrity and got your ring back to you.
I was surprised to see no one had the answer this morning when I jumped on the forums.


Agree, Alan and i have been friends a while now and i never had a doubt that if it was in there he'd let me know! It truly was the best pic i have seen in along time. Not sure I've ever had a pic make me feel so good so instantaneously in fact.

Like I said, good riddle with a perfectly rational explanation and a really happy ending!
 
Now this enigma, I cant seem to come up with an answer for

i got

battlecorals does it with ?

GOLD.

The last window is the final period, lol.

You are a great guy Adam and turning your experience into a Trivia was a great example what kind of Hobbyist you are.
Last night I was more thinking in the line of you shipped your ring in a baggie of corals.
Couldn't figure out where the skimmer came in to place.

Ha Awesome. Couldn't come up with that. I suppose this is true! And right, the skimmer was kind of the wild card. Like what the heck is going on here, A ring on one of my styros would have been easy

I figured the tape was the ultimate clue, because it ruled out lots of things like, that it was in use, or being cleaned, or any of that stuff. The tape means it had to have been boxed or shipped or something. Ill admit I don't think i would have connected the dots myself either lol!

Thanks for the kind words . Big shout out to Adam he has really been there when I had some questions for him
and need the help. I think it was my time to give something back !!
 
When I was in the Navy I actually had my wedding band sized down (made tighter)
to prevent me from loosing it, now years later I need to have it sized back up.

dangit I knew your kitchen had darker floors!
 
Yes


yes. here is a pic I sent Daniel R a couple months ago with it on my hand
IMG_3549_zpsjp42qohi.jpg


It's the top of the head in the pic for sure.

Yes
Not to distract from this cool thread but is that the actual frag you shipped me? If it is its growing like a WEED, lol....
 
Who among you would like to put their thinking caps on and solve a cute little mystery? No catches or gimmicks at all.

If someone, besides my good friend Alan G. can explain to me, exactly what is going on in this photo, I'll send you a 4 pack of sps absolutely free! One winner only. The only hint I'll give you, is to make no assumptions. You may begin.......now.
