Last night I got a call from my favorite dive shop owner. She said that a newlywed had lost his ring earlier in the day. She didn't have many details so I told her I would just be out at the location at 7:00 am. This morning I get out there just before 7:00 and I jumped into the water with no clue the general location of the lost wedding band or even what kind of ring it was.
About 45 minutes into the search I see a young man and a woman who had "that look". I waded up to their position on the beach and asked if he had lost something yesterday. He replied "you're the guy I have been waiting for".
I asked him to describe his ring and the wife said it was tungsten. I'm thinking to myself, tungsten, really!
So he gives me the details of how he lost it and the general area. While I'm searching for his ring I get a little signal and chase it around a little bit. Finally I get it into the scoop and see a glint of yellow. Oh boy I'm thinking, a ring. Then I see that it's a coin. Well I think it's not anything of any significance so in the pouch it goes. Almost dismissal of it.
A little bit more searching and I find his ring and he is delighted to the tune of $100.00 bucks.
I stop by the dive shop to share the wealth to the tune of 20%. I always share the wealth when they call me.
When I get to work I start researching the coin I found. Oh boy!!! It is a 1932 Dutch 10 guilder coin. .900 (21.60K) of gold, 6.7 grams. There were 2 on Ebay. One for $271 and another for $450.
The rest of the pics have been collected over the past week. A silver earring, ring and a handful of coinage. Thanks for looking and good luck out there!!
