On Monday the 20th I was down in South West Florida detecting one of their beaches. Finds were few and very far between. Finding far more junk than good targets.
A gentleman walked up and got my attention. He said that a Lady had lost her ring and needed me to see if I could find it for her.
I was more than glad to assist. I went up to where a group of people were milling around looking at the sand. A very panicky lady said I have lost my ear ring. Can you find it.
I asked what the ring was made of and she said silver. I worked the area where she indicated that she had lost the earring and all I found was one copper penny. A gentleman that was with the group grabbed the penny out of my scoop like an hungry eagle grabbing a fish.
I then moved over a little ways and hit a nice sounding target. Took the scoop and got a shallow scoop of sand. Spread it out with my foot and she screamed "I see it. I see it." I stepped back and she grabbed her ear ring. I wondered why she was in such a panic over an ear ring that might have cost 30 to 40 dollars new. But I did not ask. It may have been a gift from someone she loved.
She thanked me multiple times and I went back out to the beach to find even more junk. My brother in law helped a youngster find his toy car that he had lost in the sand.
The old saying is that no good deed goes unpunished must be true as we spent a number of hours on the beach and found almost nothing for our efforts.
It did feel good to be able to help soothe the ladies panicked soul.
