FINDING NEEDLE IN A HAY STACK

[GOLDCATCHER]

GOT A CALL FROM MY BROTHER-IN LAW TODAY, SAID HE WAS WITH A FELLOW WHO HAD LOST HIS RING IN A HUGE PILE OF LEAVES. HE TOLD ME TO HURRY BECAUSE THERE WAS A FRONTEND LOADER TRYING TO LOAD THE PILE OF LEAVES INTO A DUMPSTER. THE GENTLEMAN WHO LOST IT WAS 86 YEARS OLD,AND FOUGHT IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR,AND WAS A COMPLETE STRANGER TO US. HIS WIFE HAD BOUGHT THIS RING BACK IN THE 1950'S. ALSO HE EAS A PUPLE HEART RECIEPIENT. ANYWAY THE MAN IN THE LOADER SAID TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW THAT WE WOULD NOT FIND THIS RING. SO I STARTED CHECKING THE PILE. IT TOOK ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND THERE IT WAS. WHEN I PICK THE RING OUT OF THE PILE AND HANDED HIM THE RING , I PATED HIM ON THE BACK, AND TEAR WERE RUNNING DOWN HIS CHEEKS. I MIGHT NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN, BUT I KNOW THAT METAL DETECTING PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE HIS HERO'S. ALWAY MAKES MY DAY WHEN I CAN MAKE SOMEONE SMILE.

Great job ! May the karma you receive be subtracted from the account of that front end loader driver. Who uses a front end loader to load leaves ? Like using a ax to kill a flea. Well, maybe they were wet, heavy leaves.

Great story, glad you were able to make the find, love stories like that
