First for the year

[dewcon4414]

Got my first return for the year. I had just came from the beach it was to deep to hunt with the current tides. So grabbed an Ice tea and had just sat down when the phone rang. It was my daughter-in-law who works for a local resort area. She asked me if i was busy and would i mind helping someone who lost her wedding ring. My first question was.... was it in the water. No thank god. Next question is she sure she lost it on the beach before i come down there. She knows exactly where she lost it. Appears she was rubbing lotion on her hand and moving chairs. So i loaded back up and headed to the beach. The young lady was still crying and asked me if i though i could finds it. I assured her if it was there we would find it. She showed me approximately where she was and on the third swing ..... i said there it is. So whats she do.... starts digging and moved the ring around . I said woooo painter let me find it again and ill scoop it up for you. Handed her the scoop and said is this yours? She started crying again and for some reason used a couple of 4 letter words. Grabbed it and my neck at the same time. another one for the good guys. It was a sweet ticket..... 1 caret with 4 other large stones all in white gold. Nothing like that sound when it passes under the Xcal. She offered me some money...... but i told her no i came because my daughter-in-law asked me to not for the money. Sooooo hopefully i got me some Karma coming next time out. Man ive got to remember my camera..... but i was just excited to go find a ring.

Returns are always fun and there is nothing like knowing there is a ring there are you are going to find it...nice return.

Lookin..... that was the easy one. The ones that do get me thou are those who THINK they lost it here.... then say well maybe it was in the water..... oh and it was last week lol. I try to ask a lot of questions before i get very excited about looking. I was glad to see how happy the lady was and even more so it made my daughter-in-law happy to have been able to help by knowing someone like me. She keeps saying she is going to get a detector and i can teach her how to use it. May answer.... im an expensive teacher.....

Nice job! How many returns did you have for 2012?

I had a few for last year and when they get really emotional I start to run, because deep down I'm a big softy. I don't mind the hugs though.

i sent back 4 class rings to kids still in school.... those are the only ones i chase down. Then i had 3 or 4 on the spot ring finds. I think everyone looses count the amount of times you get asked to look for something out there. Im out there for the fun of it so i dont see these as a waste of time..... there is always tomorrow.
