Tell him if he finds it slip it in his pocket without anyone seeing him and tell them he couldn't find it. Just kidding of course, just like poking the fire a little more.
I wish we could all get together, say a gymnasium somewhere and have all these discussions in a group format, face to face.
Like the great Mickey Redmond always says "Katy bar the door."

If someone asked me to look for a ring they lost and I found it, I would return it. Otherwise, it's finders keepers....
Come on guys!! Can't we have a subject on here that does not get into bashing each other and our varied opinions on a subject?!? Tone it down or another thread goes to the dumpster!!

Karma is a real weird thing. I feel if it has a name on it, research it and if you can return it, you should. Maybe you'll get a finders fee. At least be able to sleep at night. When it comes to my kids, I try to lead by example. That's just me. However, if it is unmarked, think like a pirate!
This is the exact reason a lot of you people get told that you cant detect someones property. If I had a piece of prime land and someone like this asked I wouldnt let you anywhere close. I would tell you to go spend your own money on your own land
in my experience there are two kinds of metal detector people - those that do it for the thrill of the chase, the chance to find long lost treasure, and then there are those that are in it just for the money
the money guys always say "finders keepers" no matter if there is a name, address, phone number etc etc on a find
the other guys have better moral values and will try to return a find if there is any way possible to
But Ron, Guys here are being judged!
I agree with you 100%. I am not concerned with the person not being grateful. I am concerned that I did the right thing. I do not want something that is someone elses property.
So what do you do with everything you find? Isn't this the wrong hobby if you aren't looking for things dropped by other people? Those coins don't fall from the sky.
