    My First Ring! (picture added)

    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'.
    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.

    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!
