The Sovereign chalks up another Lost My Stuff success story!!

The story starts out 3 days ago, I was out at Pineapple Willy's with the Surf PI and the new Stealth 720. I had just done a grueling 4-1/2 hour hunt in the rough choppy water. My plan was to give myself a real workout with the new scoop in bad conditions, I succeeded!

I came up out of the water and a woman comes up to me and asks me to help her find a lost earring in a 20 x 20 area. Of course I said "Heck Yeah". I gridded the area 3 different ways and got every pulltab and bottle cap in that area as well as 37 cents, but not the earring. I had her move one of their 2 beach chairs but not the other because she was pretty sure it wasn't under the chairs. She was not entirely sure it was not up in the condo room though. I did not end up finding the earring and I'd like to think if I weren't so tired from the day in the water, I'd have had her move BOTH chairs. I told her that I was with LMS and to go file a lost item report in case I found it later on another hunt.

She filed a lost item report the other day, and I got the time to go look today after work. Well I couldn't remember exactly where she was sitting so I gridded about a 150 x 20 stretch of beach. As I neared the end of the time I had for the day, I hit an iffy signal just about where I remembered her chairs being right on the edge of the cut, so I went ahead and dug it. WOW! What luck, there it was in my 720 after I shook out the sand. I'm sure now that the earring was under the chair that I did not have her move. I emailed her a picture from the beach and am awaiting her response.

Another happy customer!

I had tried repeatedly to contact them since I recovered the earring, but had not been able to reach them, I was starting to wonder.... BUT

I heard from them last night! They were actually still here on Sunday when I went to look for it and they were up on their condo balcony watching me detect but did not know it was me. They had driven down from Wisconsin and the last two days while I was trying to reach them, they were on the road home. She accepted my friend request on FB, is going to send me a self addressed stamped envelope with insurance on it to send the earring back home in and promised to spread the word about LOST MY STUFF. What great folks! I knew they were good people from talking to her out on the beach that first day when she lost it.
 
I love stories with a happy ending, thanks for sharing it with us. Thanks also for going way out of your way to recover the earring for her. :thumbup:
