Your video came up on my feed right now. Over 40 years ago my husband bought me a second wedding band, heavy carved gold, on the occasion of the birth of our first son. A friend came over to babysit and give me a bit of a break. I drove to the beach, sat on the sand for a while, and the ring fell off my hand. I came home and told everyone that I had lost my ring at the beach. Everyone was very sympathetic to me, but I was determined to find that ring so the next day I rented a metal detector and returned to the beach. Everyone told me I was crazy and that I would never find it, etc. etc. Well, I didn’t find it . However, a friendly man with a fancy metal detector came by to find out what I was trying to do (with the world’s crappiest rental metal detector), and within 5 minutes he found my ring, dropped it into the palm of my hand and continued his walk down the beach. I was overwhelmed with gratitude for his kindness to me. When I got home, people were shocked that I had my ring back. I still have that ring and every time I look at it, it reminds me of that story. So Thank you, again, unknown person!

[@DetectFlorida]

That's an amazing story!!! I'm so glad you got it back!!!

[@jeremypullen5571]

You are welcome!! I still tell that story to this day. 😊 NOT!!!!!!

🌸 he was an Angel I am so very happy for you Many yrs ago I was playing with my mom’s good earrings and lost it in our home I was six, my poor mom cleaned from top to bottom both floors and never found it Yrs later we were moving house and the moving men spotted a lose board, he lifted it and below was my mom’s earrings that belonged to her mom, so it was nana’s. We both cried seeing it, that moving chap had most amazing home cooked meal that weekend with his mrs, he was so chuffed, my mom gave him my dad’s old tools, he was so happy to have it because someone stole all his tools. The earrings meant world to my mom and me, to this day I still have them, it reminds me of my beautiful mom 🪔🕊

[@Grammyabigail]

Congratulations! Our son-in-law used to detect. He found a class ring with initials on it from 30 years ago. He looked up class of ** in that school. The owner wore it one day and lost it. He was amazed and so happy. In a lawn 2 inches of dirt had developed over it. I was impressed. What a wonderful service.😊

[@DetectFlorida]

That's incredible! I wish I could find more class rings. I think I've only ever found 3

[@torhne]

Thank you for cleaning up while you are doing this!

[@CopingwithGrattitude]

I agree, each pull tab he finds protects all the bare feet enjoying the beach.

[@kimlersue]

How wonderful! I lost my platinum and diamond ring years ago...and will never get over it. It was so Marvelous to see you bring hers back to her. They aren't just jewelry...they are love stories.

[@maxinejordan9609]

The amount of happiness and joy that you bring back out of people is amazing. The mood switch is probably my favorite part of these videos. It's just nice. Really appreciate you taking time to record and post these interactions that you have. It's pretty cool to see how life looks through some one else's point of view. Good stuff man.

A famous treasure diver that I know said something that stuck with me. He said “Every day, metal detectorists lose more and more land to hunt” It’s primarily due to the few bad apples in the hobby.
