Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Had my first successful ring return last night. After work I took my detector and sand scoop to a swimming area next to a bridge outside of town. Was there 20 min and a young guy came running up and asked if my detector was waterproof, I said sure is. He said he lost his wedding ring in the swimming hole 2 nights ago and the were back looking for it with swim goggles. Gave me a detailed description of the ring and a general area. Took me 20 min, it rang up 16 on the equinox and was in 4 feet of water mixed in with some leaves. His wife was so excited.

Other than that I scored $1 in clad and and emperor chuck e cheesicus the 1st token.

Was a good evening. Sorry no pics I left my phone in the car which was a ways away.

Sure does, I've only been able to try for someone one other time. The ring was lost like 15 years prior and I couldn't find it after multiple trips.

"emperor chuck e cheesicus" Thats funny!
 

I've asked the couple to take a pic with their phone and send it to me. They're always glad to do it because than they have the pic to share with others.
 

Awesome job!! Congrats!!
 

Great job on the return. You help is all look good that way. Any return deserves an honorable mention in my opinion so I vote honorable mention.

Stay safe and keep swingin.
