This is a little embarrassing to tell this story but there are lessons to be learned.
Last week I took the Sea Hunter out for a little dive to one of the beaches along the shore. I had removed my ring and watch, put the ring on my watch strap and stored it in the back of my van. After the dive (which produced only trash) I packed up my gear, grabbed my watch and ring. and headed home. About about half an hour into the drive I noticed that I didn't have my ring on, I pulled over and searched around my seat in the van, then I headed back to the beach parking lot. When I got back there I pulled out the AT Pro and started searching the gravel parking space around where I had parked earlier and only found a couple of pennies so I headed home feeling pretty dumb.
When I got home I called a diving buddy and told him and we decided to go back and both of us would detect the area the next day. This time I parked in a different spot, as soon as I put my ATP to the ground I got a solid 92 which is usually silver, my ring was gold but I dug it any way and out popped a rather large silver ring. We searched the area for quite a bit longer and still didn't find my ring. (First time to not be happy with a silver ring find).
Now for the yippie part. Yesterday I was getting out of my van and happened to look down into the door pocket and guess what I saw, Yep my ring.
The lesson is, that if someone else lost a silver ring in the beach parking lot and I almost did then that means lots of other people have as well.
Happy Hunting.
