I didn’t find gold, it found me

[Racso]

Hit my local beach for the low tide. I detected for about 6hrs and managed to get a tungsten triton ring and about $8 in clad. My wife was tired so she was already making her way back to the car. I stayed behind digging a couple more targets. While I’m digging a target I see a younger couple walking by. A few seconds later the guy is in front of me with his hand out and asks, do you want this? I looked at what he had in his hand and was hesitant to reply because I thought I was getting punked. I thought it over for a second and I replied, if you don’t want it I will take it. He was like, I just found it and I don’t want it and hands it over to me. I said thanks a lot and he left. What he gave me was a 14kt chain that he has just found a friend of mine had told me of stories of people giving him money and whatnot because they saw him detecting and felt sorry thinking he was homeless or something I never thought this would happen to me but it did. Thanks for looking and happy hunting

You can't beat that deal. Years ago I was detecting the sidewalk in front of an old duplex house and an elderly lady stepped outside and said to me, "you look like a healthy young man, why don't you get a real job". I just replied "you're probably right" and just smiled to myself and kept moving.

What the heck? Haha. That's crazy. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than skilled!

[bravobob]

Hahahaha. Nice score !

 

[Greastart]

You can't beat that.

Well...I guess if the kind person had delivered it to Rasco at home that might beat handing it to him on the beach. But, that's probably not EVER gonna happen. So I guess you're right! Can't beat that! Nice um, finds?

 

[Trezurehunter]

Very nice ! I need to bump into people like that.

 

[claire]

Ah.... but, for me, there is nothing like sifting the sand from the shovel and finding that beautiful gold staring up at you.

 

[Centsless Detecting]

That is really awesome! Gold is Gold!

The other day while detecting someone asked if I was from diggers hotline lol.

What the heck? Haha. That's crazy. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than skilled!

I’m not a lucky person so I will take advantage of it whenever the chance presents itself.
