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?

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"

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 .
