MY FRIST GOLD AND GOOD DEED TO

[bottles10]

I Have a small bottle shop on the north shore of LK Mich In Arcadia Mich. Today I was setting There in the shop napping and a gentelmen came in and asked me if I was was the man that owned a metal detector. Before I could say yes he said his wife had just lost her 5000.00 dolor wedding ring on the beach in Peerport and could I please come down and look for it. I said yes but I only have about an hour because I had told my wife I would take her out to supper. He said it would be worth 40.00 dollars if I could find it. Well Peerport is about 6 mile south of Arcadia So Locked up the bottle shop and jumped in my truck and they followed me down to the Peerport beach. When we got there he showed me the aria that the ring had been lost in . About 8 of his family was setting around it. I had no more started to swing the detector when I got a load strong signal.I have never heard a signal from gold and really taught it was a bottle cap. I picked one scoop of sand and was still getting a signal so I scooped again After the fourth scoop I was nearly into the black sand but what ever it was it was in my scoop. I got down to the last cup of sand when the ring fell out. I heard 8 people give a real big sigh. The guy reached for his wallet but I told him I didn't want his money. I said this is what we do . Told them to have a great vacation and walked away with them thanking me in the back ground.

Excellent

I laud the kindness and the philosophy of "this is what we do." I would have been happy to accept his offer of $40; it would still have been an extraordinary kindness and I like the expression "don't muzzle the ox while he's treading the grain." There is no shame in accepting a reward, especially since it was such an expensive ring. Had they lost it, their insurance company would have probably compensated them well for it.

He offers you 40 bucks to to close your shop and drive miles out of your way to find the $5000 ring he lost.Is he kidding! What a cheapstake.And what a good guy guy you are.

You know and I know that the family will always remember you as the guy who went out of his way to find her ring.
That is truly priceless.
