Popular Post phrunt Posted March 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2023 Aussie boy's $20,000 find buried at popular beach The boy came armed to the beach with a 'metal detector and small shovel'. Thu, 23 March 2023 at 3:20 pm NZDT·2-min read A "very excited" young boy was able to dig up a man's prized $20,000 watch that he lost at a popular Sydney beach on Tuesday. Josh Shave, 10, went hunting for the valuable Cartier Santos watch at Balmoral Beach with his father Simon, when the stressed 79-year-old man couldn't find it in his shorts pocket after going for his usual morning swim. “Dad was in a real state and very upset,” the man's son, Justin, told the Mosman Collective. “He returned to the car after his swim, and when he went to put his watch on, it wasn’t there. “He parks in the same spot and swims in the same spot every day, but even after retracing his steps, it couldn’t be found. The 1975 watch bought in France holds great sentimental value for the man, being one of his "most treasured possessions".

matt Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Every time I read a story like this it makes me wonder why someone would take a $20k watch to a beach? And then take it off? Crazy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 I guess he's sat it with his clothes and towel for 20 years while he goes in for a swim and never had an issue, I'm sure he'll be leaving it at home from now on when he goes for his daily swim ?

Naw, that kid will be the next Gerry and will be posting himself all over the internet with rings and watches on all of his fingers and arms with a big ol’ nugget in his mouth. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
