The old "A ring is a ring"

Ah yes, the old a ring is a ring. I went to the beach this morning and took my grandson with me. He started out very enthusiastic but it didn't take long for him to wind down. He thought he was going to start finding money and rings right off the bat. Poor kid. His first find was a bottle cap. Then another and another. He was getting tired and bored. He started carrying the detector over his shoulder. I told him he wouldn't find anything up there! By that time I was starting to get a little bored myself because all I was finding was bottle caps and pieces of wire and one small battery. Sheesh ::) I finally told him that we would start working out way back to the car and I got a hit. It sounded like another bottle cap. Very low tone but since I wasn't finding anything to brag about I decided "what the h***" I would dig it anyway. My grandson was standing right there yelling you got something didn't you"? Well I will be darned! I did. I had a silver looking ring in the basket. It is not silver and it is just a cheap little squeezable toe ring but - A RING IS A RING! On a little further I got another one of those low bottle cap tones and dug it anyway.... this turned out to be one of those cheap little bangle bracelets. You know the kind the girls wear a dozen of???? Well I did not get one coin this morning. NOT ONE! I saw another hunter down there and asked how he was doing and he said he had a small handful of coins but that was all. So I guess I wasn't the only one that was doing pretty bad today. Did I say bad? Nah, didn't I say I got a ring? It was a good morning.

p.s. I forgot to mention that I found a really nice "Ralph Lauren" designer towel this morning too. The beach cleaner was coming and would have got it. But I beat it. Have you any idea how heave a wet beach towel is all rolled up and tied on to your belt? LOL

Re: The old "A ring is a ring"

I don't usually bother with the towels but..... if it is a really nice one and I can tell for sure it has been out there all night long and is going to get thrown away anyway.... well. I roll it up and tie it on my belt.
 

Re: The old "A ring is a ring"

A ring IS a ring...I still find crappy stuff, just every now and then you get something you can take an extra look at, we will strike it big one day mumzie, just you wait and see.

Re: The old "A ring is a ring"

ya could have made a superman cape for your grandson with that towel, then he would have been carrying it! lol That is actually a cute lil toe ring you found and a day out with the grandson is far better than being cooped up inside! Congrats on a good day!
 

Re: The old "A ring is a ring"

Re: The old "A ring is a ring"

A morning spent on the beach with your grandson is a treasure in itself! And a RL towel to boot!
 

Re: The old "A ring is a ring"

You bet 'a ring is a ring'!

Congrats on the find. And the towel. And being on the beach with your grandson.

Finding treasure is just part of the fun . . .

Re: The old "A ring is a ring"

I am happy as a clam with any ring I find. They all make me smile. Towels can get heavy when they get wet and I shake out the sand and stick it into my belt. It is a pain when they get wet and you come ashore with that thing hanging off you dripping all the way back to the car. I carry a plastic dish tub in my vehicle for wet or dirty goodies. Don't use any of these found towels for car wash rags till all the sand is washed out. Some days a load of nice towels is all I would bring home.

It is not a good idea to pull a towel out from under a gal sunbathing on the beach. Wait till she goes into the water............ :wink: :wink: :wink:
 

Re: The old "A ring is a ring"

You are sooooo funny Sandman. I would NEVER pull a towel out from under a pretty girl sunbathing! Now a handsome hunk of beefcake..... maybe! ::)
