I have had some time off lately, and have been pounding a park close to home before the weather turns bad or I get sent off for work again. It's pretty promising. Have pulled pre-war wheats and nickles every day so far, but no silver (go figure).
Was there this morning and had a guy about my age approach me. He said that his ring had come off his finger, and he was wondering if I would mind looking for it for him. He said he had rented a detector, but it was "beeping every square inch", and he couldn't make heads or tails of it. I told him I was more than happy to look. I went over and talked to his wife because he had to go to work, and she gave me the general area in which it might be found. He was throwing leaves at his kids and it flew off, evidently.
Neither of them knew whether it was silver or gold, so I had to assume it was gold and investigated about five times the amount of signals I would have had I known it was silver. The gal gave me her number and went home.
I found it after about an hour and a half, and she insisted on giving me fifty dollars for my time. I really tried hard to convince her I didn't want money, but she wouldn't hear it. She was gonna give me a hundred and I absolutely refused. Was a simple 14k white gold ring. She was very happy to get it back and she and her husband were really upset about its loss. Thought about asking if I could take a picture of her holding it, but I didn't want to seem like a weirdo. They were super nice people and I was glad to make their day!
