An older looking than myself guy comes up while I was in the middle of an All Metal Adventure in the Bud Lite Park sand volleyball court. He ask me if I've paid for my detector yet......told him "no" I've only had El Dorado a couple of weeks. Now this guy wasn't shopping around for a detectorist as I was his only choice..........LOL.

Seems he had a brand new silver Toyota SUV vehicle that he had lost the key. Said he had been walking the nature trail, had fallen and when he went to get into his ride the key was gone. Asked me if I could find it..that he would give me 50 dollars if I could find it......Duh...... he was talking to the King of Key Recovery........:rofl:

I told him no problem I'd l@@k for his key but made it clear that I didn't [size=large]want[/size] any money for doing it. I metal detected my way from his vehicle in case he had dropped them from point of exit to the point of where he fell on his :rant: and slid off the hill........:rofl:

No problem 3 seconds after I left the trail....I had his keyless entry KEY and tossed it to him.

Thats when the fight verbal discussion started........he whips out the 3 dead president notes.......I told him to put em back I didn't want his money....he insisted said that it was cheap from what he was going to have to do if he didn't find the key.......I refused the 3 bills for the second time...he insisted again.........I sized him up....... he l@@ked like he was in pretty good shape........and was now trying to stuff em physically into my shirt........fearing for me life I relented and took the :rant: money...:rofl:

Some people will just not take NO for an answer. He had called his wife and she rode in in a silver Lexus as we topped out the hill back to the parking lot.
I guess he had money or was now 50 bucks further in debt........:rofl:

Anyways I gave ALL the money to the first needy person I met after this encounter who said :inlove:she:inlove: was going to use it for Christmas presents.

[size=large]there may be those who will or want to tell you what you should have done that would have been so much better to do but you followed your heart and feel good about the outcome and that was ,i think , the best thing to do with the reward. your happy and a stranger is happy and she's gunna make others happy. kinda follows Reagan's trickel down policy. :clapping:
