Just returned from a holiday in Costa Rica. Two days after I got there I found an Iphone buried in the sand. Managed to clean out the charging port and charged the battery. When turned on, a message came on the screen saying it was a lost phone and a phone number was also there. With the help of some of the locals managed to find the owner and return it. He was one of the local Red Cross lifeguards and had lost it two weeks earlier.
Another morning while detecting a woman came and asked me if I had found any ID on the beach. She said her husband had lost his drivers licence and military Id the previous night. I unfortunately had not found it at that time. Almost two weeks later I did find it buried almost six inches in the sand. With the help of social media I was able to trace him down, talk with him on facebook, get his address and it has been returned.
