Matt Cawley had planned to propose to his girlfriend
Stacey Scanlonon the jetty of Bass River Beach on Cape Cod. The Dedham native tied the $9,000 engagement ring to a large sand dollar and left it, hoping to lead Scanlon there shortly after.
When he pointed out the sand dollar, Scanlon picked it up and the knot untied sending the ring into the ocean. The couple, along with four lifeguards and some good samaritans searched for the ring for more than 4 hours.
