619_805_okie Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Hopped out to the beach after work since the weather was immaculate today. Tide was mid range which is meh but I'm getting too fat and needed to get a good walk in. After about 5 minutes i see a very pretty girl walking toward me with intent! Not that "I'm curious about metal detecting walk" and I've yet to get picked up on while detecting so it could only be one thing... she lost her diamond ring! About 100 feet from where I was she had been sitting with her mom and dad and flung her hand to the side... watching as her ring flew off. After frantically searching for a bit, her knight in dorky armor arrived. I was able to nab the ring in about 30 seconds and she was visibly relieved! She tried to pay me, which i absolutely refused but asked her if we could snap a photo so i could share it with my online friends 🤓. I'm doing fine financially and wouldnt ever sell a ring i found so it was way more rewarding making her doomsday into a good story for us both. Photo shared with her permission.

Valens Legacy Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Just love a good story like this as they always have a happy ending. Good luck on your next outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaBayBrad Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I've never had anyone come up to me and say "I lost my ring in this area." Still waiting for my chance, it's an easy way to make someone's day as long as they have a general idea of where they lost it. Good work, cute girl.

GB_Amateur Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 That smile sparkles more than the diamond, and the memory is more valuable than the ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digalicious Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Great job! I don't know why a pretty girl has never tried to pick you up while metal detecting, because a guy swinging a metal detector is a total chick magnet! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn90403 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 You did good. It does feel good too. A spring break save! Next time remember to turn your face to the sun. Your memory will look better. I've had people come up to me on the beach often for help finding their lost ring or keys. I'd say I'm somewhere under 50% on the finding part. Most of the time that is because someone doesn't know where they lost the item. If you can get someone to remember exactly where they were sitting or playing it makes a big difference.
