Well I finally found my first ring today. A ladies class ring (class of 2011 which graduates next week) at my usual local beach in the dry sand. But life is funny. Turns out upon a quick look the ring turns out to belong to the daughter of someone we know here in town. Needless to say she was thrilled to find out I had found it. To make it that much more miraculous, I only was hunting the dry sand with my XLT becuase my sand shark is in the shop so no water hunting for now and I was jonesing for a hunt. When I find someones jewelry and can return it I never charge them and instead ask them to do one thing which is that sometime in the next week or so I ask that they perform a random act of kindness on a stranger in appreciation of their good fortune. Kind of a pay it forward concept. It could be paying a starngers toll, buying someones coffee, helping an elder person with something or simply volunteering for a day some where. They all seem to embrace the idea. I re attached the picture.

Very well done Stan and I especially like your suggestion of 'pay it forward'. :clapping:
The picture did not show up on my end. Would love to see it in your post. You deserve it.

Cool story. Nice job on the returned ring. I have found things for people by request and know how good that can feel. I can imagine how stoked you'd be over surprising someone with a lost item. Great job. :clapping:

Got the young lady to come over today to get her ring. Found out that she is going to be going to a school in Georgia to become a nurse to work in third world countries to help help the under privillaged. Needless to say I'm pretty sure she will be paying it forward!
