Thread about a good detectorist on an Aruba board

[Anonymous]

The wife and I are thinking of going back to Aruba this year with our new baby girl. I went on a message board that I am a member of from our trip to Aruba last year. There is a nice thread on there about the type of people we have in this hobby. Check out the story here http://bb.visitaruba.com/showthread.php?t=1867
Take care,
Todd

I've always returned items if the owner could be found. Thought that was the way it was supposed to be.
Once asked a lady if I could detect her yard. She gave permission, but asked if I found a small nickel ring, would I give it to her. Said her son, who had been killed in a car wreck, as an adult, had lost it when he was seven. Took me two different visits, but she got her son's ring back.
Was in a school yard, when I found a "baby" ring. It had a diamond chip in it, was 10K gold and the parent's name engraved on either side of the band. The little girl had brought it to school to show her friends her real diamond ring and had lost it. The look on her face when I returned it was more than enough reward for any "Seasoned Scent" (to quote Doc)

I'm not trying to belittle what the guy in Aruba did. Just thought it was common practice amongst all detectorists.
