This morning was our 6th day on vacation and when I got up at 6am it was raining like crazy! I almost rolled over and went back to sleep but decided the beach was where I needed to be. I figured since I had my new Excaliber II it was waterproof so what the heck. I hunted for about 2 hours and came up with lots of change, 2 earrings, and my first engraved 14K gold wedding band, My sixth ring this week. I noticed it was engraved with their names and the date of their wedding, plus "I love you". Pretty cool. I decided to try and locate the owners as I found it in a resort area, close to a hotel. My son and I went to the closest houses, then the hotel. Spent about an hour doing this... The lady at the hotel desk thought I was going to just leave it with her as they had a supposed report of a missing ring. After checking with housekeeping, and no one really willing to talk to me, I decided to leave my name and phone number with instructions to have the people missing a ring contact me. If they ever contact me, I'm sure they will be able to describe certain identifying marks on it. I am hoping to return it to its rightful owner.
Went out this evening for an hour and took my nine year old son. We hunted behind two hotels on the beach and were there a short time when I saw a lady approach my son and was talking to him. I figured she was asking him what we usually find but soon I saw him follow her to an area and he started looking with my DFX. I started working that way but within minutes she started screaming at the top of her lungs and jumping up and down, Everyone started looking trying to figure out what in the world was wrong with her.
The next thing I knew she was hugging my son like their was no tomorrow. By this time I had gotten there and after watching her cry and hug my son a dozen more times she finally was able to explain she had lost her keys the day before and was suppose to leave headed back to Pennsylvania but was forced to stay another night. She had us go with her to show her husband we had found them and after a few more hugs I decided to take her picture with my son so that he could look back later in life and remember how it helped someone out. All evening he has mentioned over and over that he was happy he found them for the lady and now he's talking about getting up early with me to hit the beach again. I can tell now that he is hooked just like his daddy...
