Two days after new years I was contacted by a couple from Atlanta about a ring, family heirloom, that was lost New Years night on the beach. It was lost between the beach area that they were sitting and the route taken from there to the hotel room. They had no idea when or were though. It was in a jacket pocket with some change that was being carried not worn. It was also lost on one of our biggest beaches with a large distance between the beach and the hotel. Talking to them on the phone while I was out there, I had a good idea were to look, and knowing there was also about a dollars worth of change lost with it, I thought it was going to be easy....NOT! Two times out there, nothing! Third time some change and a small, real small, 10k with stones, does not even fit my pinky; 2.2g.
This morning I finally hit an area that had some change(2 quarters,1 dime and a penny) that were scattered in a east/west direction about 3/4 the way up from the beach. Figuring I could be on to something I found the ring about ten minutes later. The ring is a vintage white gold,18k,15 diamond, Lambert bros; an exact match to the description given. It belonged to the husbands grandmother and given to his wife. When I called them this afternoon and said, "Hi,this is Bob in Florida, I got a slow kinda pausing" yeaaaa" and then nothing. So I just said, "Found it!".....Wish I had recorded the next minute of screaming and crying I heard. It's packaged up and on its way home already. Even though I don't ask for a reward, I was assured one is coming....GL ALL
* I was using the XT705 with a HF DD 5x10 elliptical coil.....the 10k was a 12tid/tone just like a pulltab and the 18k was a 4tid like foil.
