Tonight got a call from a friend from my church. Our church hosts a soccer program and there were practices tonight. Apparently a child had a pair of glasses that weren't in the best of shape but functional. They were taped together and were the only pair he had with the correct prescription. They fell apart during practice and the coach took the pieces and put them in her pocket for safe keeping. At the end of practice she gave him back the glasses only to find one of the ear pieces missing. All the kids and parents scoured the field to no avail. When the call came in my friend explained the situation and said he told the coach I know someone who could help find it with his metal detector and would love to do it.

I pulled out my pinpointer and started to search the spot and just as I came across it I saw my headlight reflect on something and my pinpointer went off. I FOUND IT!!!!!!! I went to the coaches house and gave it to her she couldn't believe it. She called the parents and they were thrilled to hear I found it. It felt so good inside knowing my hobby was able to help someone in need. Now I know how it feels like the people who have lost a ring and a detectorist finds and returns it to them. I'm sure this could be a start of a new direction for me to use my hobby to help others .Recently I found my daughter's favorite penguin earring she lost while swinging. She said I knew you would find it no worries. I never would have believed I would be using my
