The daughter's first day and she finds GOLD!!

Went to the beach today and I set the daughter loose with the Ace 150. We were working a high traffic area when I hear a lady ask my daughter if she had found any rings. Turns out this gal had lost her wedding band earlier in the day and was in tears trying to find it. So we move into the area where she thought it could be....somewhere between the water and her car...... :dontknow: about a 150 yard stretch...and start a grid pattern. Within 15 minutes I hear my daughter say "I found it!" And she did. It was an 18k true white gold double banded engagement/wedding band with 5 3/4-1 carat diamonds in it!!! The lady was ex-static and gave my daughter a big hug and $20. My daughter was so happy to help, and for the cash....I think she's hooked!! She wants the Ace to be "hers" now....

BTW...the gal took a pic of her ring when we found it and promised to send it to me as I didn't have my phone on me. I'll post it if she sends it.

Hope she described it before you handed it over...You better describe a diamond ring to the tee before I give it up..."Take what ye will...Give nothing back..."...lol
Seriously though...I have had folks come up to me in soccer fields claiming they lost a ring, and when I ask what it looked like they can only say...It was a diamond ring and gold...You have to do better than that for me...

HH,

I also once gave away 18ct gold necklace and a pendant without asking for description :BangHead:. Even if the ring was hers, the lady could have been more generous to your little girl to encourage honesty. My little kid once found $100 in a common garbage bin for two units when he was disposing of our rubbish bags. I immediately figured out whom it belonged and we asked our neighbour if she lost any money. She told us that she misplaced $100. There was a lot of joy when we returned it. She gave my kid $50. Though we really didn't want to take anything but she insisted.

Re: The daughter's first day and she finds GOLD!!

Nice story! A pat on the back to all involved first to you and your daughter for taking the time to help then to the woman who took the initiative to reward your daughter for her actions. :icon_thumright:
 
Re: The daughter's first day and she finds GOLD!!

She was describing the ring to us as we were looking so we knew what it looked like before finding it, and had removed it when putting sunscreen on her daughter. I hope that we get a pic of the ring, it was gorgeous, but she was so excited when leaving that she may have forgotten my email address. That will teach me to not have my phone on me! Otherwise I'll post some pics of me and my daughter at the beach. Thanks for all the kind words folks.
