A good day at Daytona Beach

[tvr]

Got here Saturday afternoon and started out with the Excal. Very few targets. Switched to the Sand Shark and am finding more deep bottle caps and other normal junk, a little clad, not much of value. That is until this afternoon. While wandering around between that wet sand and water to about knee deep, a young man comes running up and asks if I can help. His wife lost her wedding band. They were sitting up on the dry sand and she lost it. He asks if the detector will find white gold; I say sure will if we can get the coil over it. He estimated they had been searching for about half an hour already, sifting the sand with their hands. They had a pretty good idea where it was lost. It took about two to three minutes until the Sand Shark gave off a solid, hit on a shallow target. Scoop and shake and out of the scoop comes this pretty band with sparkly stones. I show it to the young lady and ask her if her ring looks like this? She takes it and is jumping up and down, gives me a big hug and can't say thank you enough. I don't carry a cell or camera. If they get my e-mail right and send a picture, I'll post it. If I don't find anything else this week, that ring recovery made it a good week already.
Cheers,

Got chased off the beach by lightning today and had the picture and a nice thank you note in e-mail when I got back to the room. Picture must be the one that the young lady took right after the ring recovery yesterday when her cell connection wouldn't let her send it at that time. Little band, ringed with stones, given and accepted with love. Glad she and her husband left the beach with it. Looks very similar to the ring our youngest daughter has.

Yes, it is a great experience to find a ring for a frantic young couple.

An interesting experience at Daytona Beach ! One can just imagine this feelings just closing his eyes, but can't feel the excitement without visiting the beach.
