International Relations Ring Return
02/21/16
<p><strong>I went to Florida for a few months for some decent vacation.</strong> Another beautiful day as I arrived at the beach about noon. A lifeguard I know came over to say hello. He says someone lost the wedding ring a few minutes ago at station 12. I said I would go look. When I got there, there was another guy with an Excalibur already hunting in the water. I talked to the other lifeguard and she pointed out the person that lost their ring. He was from Argentina on vacation with wife and child.</p>
<p>He told me that he was adjusting the ring and it slipped off and he saw it hit the water... and then gone. I asked him what it looked like and his wife's was a match. Oh by the way, he said, I lost it yesterday!!! I said lots of people hunt this beach so maybe it's here and maybe not. I will give it a shot. It occurred to me that last night were he dropped it in the water, was now wet beach and not where the other detectorist was hunting in the ocean.</p>
[split]
<p>I started hunting.....about 10 minutes later.....I got a good signal....sure enough... gold wedding band and it was like his wife's ring. I called to him and said to him...."can you tell me what it looked like again"? He asked his wife to come over and show me hers. I said that's funny because I have one just like it on my little finger! For a minute... he thought I had one just like his and then it dawned on him. He was very happy! He thought it was gone for sure.</p>
<p>They gave me something to drink and we chatted for a bit. He thought I was with the city as I knew some lifeguards and this was a public service. I said no... just trying to help you out. He wanted to pay me. I said no thank you... glad to help especially on your vacation... Nice people!</p>
<p>About 4 hours later... he ran about 1.5 blocks to catch up with me and handed me some money... I refused but he said it was the least he could do as his wife was going to kill him for losing his wedding ring... I relented... and he said..."if you come to Argentina... I owe you a drink". I might take him up on his offer and it was a nice day for all of us!</p>
<p>The last day of my hunt my CTX 3030 leaked... On a good note... I was able to find more things before it died... on the next post coming soon.</p>
