Popular Post cuniagau Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 I was approached by a young man (wearing a mask) today on the beach that I was metal detecting on. He ask me if my metal detector could find a medallion that he had lost when his chain had broken. He then said it was gold. I told him that gold was what I was looking for on the beach and said, Let's go find it. He and his buddies had been tossing a football around and that was when his gold chain had broken and the medallion had dropped into the dry sand and disappeared. I said, "I hope this is your lucky day". Two minutes later I ask his if it was "Jesus on the cross". He said "yes" and I handed it back to him. It took all of about 5 minutes of my time and made his day. I love this hobby! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you were able to help the person out, but after you found something you should have asked "What did you lose". Good luck on your future hunts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on your future hunts. To me, he told me what he lost. He lead me to where it was lost. I dug it where he said he lost it. I didn't need a store receipt describing the medallion. Maybe that is just me but I saw no need to interrogate him after finding it. And I really don't appreciate you telling me what you think I should have done. It is none of your business how I conduct myself when helping someone find something that they have lost. I didn't post this for your critique of what you think I did wrong. Why don't you just be happy that I was able to help someone out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I offended you and I did not know that he showed you where he lost it and what it was as you never said that. Don't worry about any more comments from me.

kac Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think 2Valen's message was to help you in the scenario if someone approaches you and said I lost something and you blindly show the find you got in the area without them confirming or describing what they actually lost with some detail in the first place. He didn't say you did anything wrong, just a suggestion from what I gather. Is it the heatwave making everyone so hostile these days? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
