While hunting at my favorite beach here in Florida I came across a very mixed signal target in the wet sand so I figured I need to dig this. About a foot down I start seeing black sand so I figured I had an old iron target but as I spread the sand out I saw a Toyota key with a fob on it. Put it in the pouch and swept the area again and had a couple more mixed signals. Dug some more and out came 2 more keys and an old para cord keychain. I scanned the area 1 more time and had a cleaner signal and out came a dog tag.
The rest of the trip was the usual stuff $6.00 in change a 1943 S war nickel a small silver earring a gold plated silver pendant and the usual trash. I get home and I decide to search for the owner of the keys Michael D. Rowe SSN# *** ** 8716 A NEG Christian. Sadly the only hit I found was from an Army Engineer who was killed in Iraq from an IED. As I was looking through the posts on the "In Memory" I came across a post from Michaels mother I saw a link to contact here and stated that I had found some keys with a dog tag that I believe is her late sons. I put in the last four of the ssn# and also stated that if it is not her sons I am very sorry to have bothered her. I awoke this morning to an E-mail stating it was her sons and has no clue as to who had lost it but would truly love to have it. I am mailing it out to her tomorrow with a slightly used dog tag chain that I had laying around from my days in the military.
