Holy Catfish Batman. Great Day Today!

Well I went to Detroit and found a lot of information. More on that much later. While there I got a call from a friend. He knew of people that lost some stuff at a marina in Detroit. Told him I would be right there. He told me a pair of RayBan sunglasses were behind a boat and a portable light was behind another boat. After I found both of them I played around in a couple of slips for a little while. I got a flip phone, three dock brushes, a snail boat wind indicator and a screwdriver. Plus some plastics from dock lights. After I get out he hands me 25.00, which was fine for 20 minutes of playing. I get in my truck and notice I missed a call. I call it back. A guy asks me if I knew where a marina was at. LOL, it was the same one I was at!. I told him I was already there. He found my website after a bit of searching. Tells me his wife lost her wedding ring off the side of their boat while tying it up. Said she could be there in 10 minutes. I said I would wait. I go to the gas dock and get a Pepsi. She comes and shows me where the ring went in. I gear up grab the 8" CZ-21 and go down. I get bell tones. Move two cans and get a solid mid tone. Dig it out of the muck and know I have her ring. I come up with it on my pinky. She is in tears! Said she couldn't sleep all night last night. Asks me what I want. I said gas and a tank of air which is 5.00. She hands me a pile of bills which i never count in front of anyone. I said are you sure and she says positively. After she leaves and I get my gear off and get in the truck I count out 350.00!

For less than a half hour?? WOW. 375.00 is the best day I have had in a while cash wise.

That's Awesome!! What are the odds your already at the marina when she try's getting a hold of you.
Somebody's living life right, Congrats!!

That was the crazy part! I could have been at any marina or she could have lost her ring at any marina. Lots and lots of them on this lake. And her being only 10 minutes away. It just all fell into place. just like me being in Detroit and my friend calling me and him being on his boat right then. STRANGE. it was an awesome day to say the least.

Thanks all. Going out to my boat today and playing in the water.

Awesome job ScubaDetector! It sounds like that ring was very special to her and she will surely remember getting it back.

A new detector? Don't think I need one. EXCEPT, one that is lighter and works as good as my E-Trac. The only reason I would think of a CTX is the weight balance. But I am happy with my 4 toys.

Good deed my wife has a ring that was her fathers wedding ring he passed 9/10/2006 and he was her world if she ever lost that ring she would probably give you $500 to get that ring back. It is made of gold has maybe $200 gold in it but it is something he wore every day and it means the world to her. I miss him too he was the most fun to be around never knew he would have become such a great friend.
