Hi folks. I have a couple hundred hours on my AT Pro. A buddy wanted a metal detector, so I suggested he get one just like mine, and he did 
Now, this guy has a place at the beach and my wife and I were down to visit he and his family. We started out one Saturday morning and found nothing on a part of the beach, and decided to go elsewhere, winding up at a little beach volleyball court that was empty of players. So my bud says hey, you take this side, I'll take that side, whoever gets the least $$$ value buys lunch. Ha!, I was popping coins like no tomorrow, all full of myself, blowing the sand off of 'em in a dramatic manner so he could see I hit another one, and another one. Poor guy, he had a penny to my two dollars or more. Then, I hit a silver ring and really bragged about that! Pretty obvious at that point who was buying lunch!
Well, two guys come over to him, one of 'em lost his Naval Academy graduation ring the night before. The guy that lost it was quite distraught. He came over on my side, and I told him if the coil on my machine passed over that ring that I'd definitely find it! Well, he left his contact info. with my pal, and we went on swinging, never finding that ring.
So we go to lunch with our wives, and KNOWING that ring to be gone forever, my buddy leaves that contact info. on the table at the restaurant, not thinking we'd ever need it again. We go about our business, and night time rolls around. It's 10 p.m. or so, and my friend wants to go back to the volleyball court. I told him I ain't going, too tired. He agreed, and suggested 5 a.m. in the morning. Once again, I said, "I ain't getting up at 5 a.m., I get up all week at 5 a.m., and I'm on vacation".
Well, he rolls out early next morning and heads down there to that same spot and sure enough along the back edge of that volleyball court, on HIS side, he hits that big fat gold Naval Academy ring
7:30 a.m. finds him showing me some coins, all depressed you know, then he brings out that ring, holds it up to my face, and blows through that thing, just like I was doing to him the day before, you know, an 'IN YOUR FACE' kind of moment, haha, funny as all get out!
Well, the owners name is engraved inside that ring, and my friend and I, our wives, we're all sitting around Sunday morning, google this and google that to try and locate a contact for him. Indeed we did! He had not left the beach yet, and wound up coming over to pick up his ring. Kid you not, he was beside himself, near teary eyed, smiling ear to ear, and before leaving slapped my buddy with a nice $$$ reward in gratitude for finding his United States Naval Academy ring he had lost in the sand a few days before......PRICELESS!
BTW, looks like I owe my buddy lunch
