A Darn Good Story

[Dancer]

Panama City Beach , Florida
Been here since 1 December. Few others also. Conditions couldn't be worse. Heavy, loose sand on the dry, on the wet and out wading. Just finding pull tabs is a Challenge... Ok, than here comes our pal Dennis. He goes out on probably the Foggiest day of the month. I mean thick. After hunting a long while for 3 tabs and 2 pennies, he eyeballs a heavy, gold ear ring with Diamonds. He looks around, can't see anyone. Hunting his way back, he spots a guy and a girl , hung the sand, coming towards him. " Oh, oh ". So they ask him if he's found a ear ring. " Maybe he says. What's it look like ?". They pull out the mate, there is no denying it. Welp, it's your lucky day. They had to hold each other up, nearly overwhelmed. Now Dennis is a good guy and handed it over. And they were a good couple, and offered a Reward. Dennis refused. They thanked him and said they never felt so lucky. Dennis told them he felt lucky too.
And that's how it happened on a barein foggy beach.

To keep it when you know who’s it is is stealing in my opinion. Good for him. And yeah the beaches here are sparse this time of year.

Nice story I remember one day I got a call from a lady who got my cell number from someone asked me if I
could look for her ring long story short version i prayed about it Lord let me be successful and she gave me
a area from the water to the homes about 200ft inward!
I turned on my detector and swung around to face the water and had a incredible nice ring tone!
I asked her what the ring was made of? it was a Tiffany sterling ring it was right where I was standing I said a thank you
to the man above!

A wonderful find to remember for a end of the year find. Now looking forward to a New Year:
May the ring of gold be in your ears and its glitter in your scoop!
Making memories is what it is all about.

I’ve returned a few lost wedding rings and it’s satisfying to see the joy when they get their rings back .

On the other hand. About 8 yrs ago, Beach Bandit was out wading and scooped up a Heavy big fingered Collage Gold ring. He took the time to track this fellow down. So the guy says this is great here's my address. Bandit Sent it in and insured it. He never heard from the dude again. No thank yous no offer of reward, zip. That didn't play well with him, what a kick in the ----s. . ......Of course years later, I wonder if he was even dealing with the real owner.

I know one guy who was doing a ring return a number of years ago and when he went to drop the ring off, two police officers met him and said the lady said he stole the ring from her. He got a lawyer and eventually cleared it all up but he never returned another detector find to anyone ever again.
