    Found a fella's wedding band

    A kid stopped me yesterday morn and asked if my machine worked "over" water. I explained that it did. He told me he had lost his wedding ring the day prior in the water and that he was gonna try to find it. Well I was not prepared to go in the water. Had my short handled scoop and regular clothes and sneakers on. I watched as he was walking back and forth and felt sorry for the kid so I dove in and started swinging. It was an exercise in futility with the short scoop.

    I went back last night and spent 3 hours looking in the area he had designated, to no avail. I did find 4 coins and a couple bottle caps.

    This morning that area of the beach was not on my agenda but as it were I was close. Spent another hour going over the area and picked up some more coinage and lots of bottle caps.

    Long story short. I found the darn ring and called the Hotel. Waiting on word from the owner to ID the booty. Thought twice about it. It's a huge 10k ring with 6 diamonds in it. Worth about $450.00 in scrap. Is karma worth it?

    Hey great going man! Good for you!

    Now, come on up to Hollywood Fl. and help my find a ring, a young fellow lost, that belong to their grandfather! I searched all day. The sand ain't soft squishy, so I'm not sure if it sunk sunk. We had rough currents and mini-waves Saturday, a little rough, I don't know if it coulda rolled out to sea?

    Fluffy(Excal) purred and howled all day, 2 cellphones and a 1944 wheat penny, 87 bottlecaps, the place is cleaned up, at least.
    Come on down and help!

    Yesterday is history, tomorow a mystery. All we have is the here and now, it's a special gift. That's why we call it "The Present"

    First of all, very cool cat--deleted--.

    To put it another way . If you keep it you will be one of the few people on this planet that knows EXACTLY what his soul is worth . But of course we all know you will do the right thing .
