Went fishing today with no luck, I tried a few different spots...

One spot was an inlet next to a beach....I was waiting for the tide to come in so I could start fishing it, so whats an addicted detectorist do? Grabs his detector and starts sweeping the beach. After a few minutes a guy approaches me saying his daughter lost her bracelet and ring yesterday (she put them on her beach towel and forgot about them) and he has been raking the beach trying to find it, they were silver and he had a pretty good idea where they might be

Long story short I found them after 5 minutes!!! We all were totally shocked hahaha, we were all yelling on the beach with excitement... I got a decent signal and as soon as I pulled the sand scoop out I saw the bracelet, right next to it was the ring

Of course he offered me something and I declined, I was rewarded enough by being able to help and seeing how happy they were, but they also offer me a beer and I couldn't say no to that 😆🍺

To make my day even better? I stopped at Walgreen's after to pick up some sun screen and a women next to me got out and dropped a $20 spot on the ground as she got out of her car, made her day by being honest!!!!

Keep it positive everyone! I had an absolute blast today, today was a great reminder to be respectful and help out people when you can, it comes back to you one way or another - I promise.

now I'm home and gonna mix up a drink!!!!

Thanks guys I was on cloud 9,

Also I should note, this is a beach I have never been to so I was a little skeptical of how people may react with the detector on the beach, I thought the guy was approaching me to give me a hard time, I felt totally comfortable going all threw the beach after chatting with him and realized no one cared!!

Thanks all for the kind words, the family on the beach said they have been vacationing there for 20 years and had never seen anyone on that beach with a detector

Great Karma! I never charge to help if someone asks while I am there and they have a good idea. I do charge if someone calls me and asks me to travel and look for a lost item
