Gold Wedding Band Recovered (and Returned)!

[Neil in West Jersey]

I finally got a chance to try out the Excalibur on a busy swimming beach this evening after a beautiful day of lounging at The Shore. After the holiday weekend crowd began to thin out, I went to my car and broke out the Minelab to give it a try. I was digging plenty of clad and a DEEP nickel (it was well over a foot down), when a dude came over and asked if I could find his wedding band, dropped in the sand the day before.

About 5 minutes later I had it in my scoop! Unfortunately by then it was high tide, above the blanket line, and the water was a bit too chilly for me to take the plunge for any dropped jewelry.



I also thought I had my first gold coin...for about 3 seconds. It looked too thick, and then I saw "2 Euros" on it. I flipped it over and saw the foil peeled back, exposing the sweet chocolate center! YUM!!




I always feel good about recovering someone's lost property, so I consider this a successful hunt.

Good job. Looks like a nice quiet beach.

Pretty amazing recovery! That is almost like using a time machine and going back to see where he lost the item. Nice job. I can't believe the crowd the beaches attract. No wonder you guys have some luck. Tough break on the gold coin. I read a story once though where club members played tricks on each other with these chocolate coins and one day this guy found one that turned out to be real.
