Today, I was at the beach doing my normal fruitless sweeps when this lady asks, "How much do those machines cost?" I told her that prices vary widely, but a decent detector can be had for around $300. Then she proceeds to tell me that she's going to buy them for Christmas presents for her grown children. Then, she tells me that her son-in-law lost a $5k necklace yesterday right down there(she points). I told her that I'd be glad to look for it. She then told me that it would be a waste of time because they called a detectorist to look for it yesterday and he couldn't find it. I told her I'd be happy to look anyway.
Anyway, in about 15 minutes, I had found it. I thought the guy was going to cry. He tried to give me $100 dollar bill, which I refused.
That necklace was, by far, the most expensive thing that I have found at the beach and I was super happy to be able to find it for them.
Interestingly, the big'ol white gold necklace only produced VDIs of 2-3 on my Vanquish 540.
