Going to be in my 6th paper!!

I recall once being on a dive boat and when we returned to land, as the tide was out we couldn't get into the marina so had to jump out and walk to the beach in front of the car park. Anyway one guy puts on his weight belt, after being told not to and jumps into the water only to find it over his head! He dumps his belt and then says that his car key was in one of the weight pockets. So a friend and I snorkelled for close to an hour looking for his belt while he and his girlfriend stood on shore just watching. Bearing in mind they had just been diving so could have helped. When eventually I found his belt all I got was a half hearted thanks and they walk off.

These days When I find jewellery, as most is fresh dropped I have a look in the lost and found ads, if they can't be bothered to report it then it's mine. I have one item, a silver bracelet in at the police at the moment as it had a name and drivers licence number engraved in it. I will know next week if it was claimed, if not I get it back.

Early in the last school year I dug up a class ring while water hunting and contacted the school.

I was told there were two people with those initials and they were attempting to contact the owner.

I commented that if I didn't hear from anyone in a few months I would feel free to sell the ring!

A week or so later I got a call from a police officer who assured me he did volunteer work for the school and was searching for the owner, so don't sell the ring!

It has been nearly a year now and still no call.

I certainly feel I have gone "above and beyond" in making an effort to locate the owner and will have no regrets in selling the ring when I do.

It would have been # 44 had I managed to return it! (41 gold, 2 silver and 1 platinum) I haven't included the 3 aluminum rings I found for 3- 8 year olds on the beach one day although I think they were more appreciative than some of the adults I handed rings to!

GL&HH Friends,

PS this AM I was asked by an acquaintance if I could locate his buried well and I assured him I had done so many times as a plumber and am certain I can find his too!! ( should I include these in my list of finds?)
