I was looking through the lost and found section of Craigslist last week and happened across a posting from a saddened owner. She had lost her favorite necklace and pendant. She listed the places she had been that day and one of those places was at a park. So I sent her an e-mail letting her know that I had a metal detector and would be willing to help find it. Unfortunately for her, she had not been able to recover her prized posession as of yet.
So I head out to the park and get permission to search the playground area. After getting permission, I sent her an e-mail letting her know I had permission and would let her know the results of my search. About 20 minutes later this beautiful woman comes up to me asking if my name was Mike. About 30 minutes later I get a funny hit near the slide. The metal detector is bouncing all over the place so I push aside the mulc to reveal a metal washer. Then, as I go to push back the mulch in dissapointment I see to my left about an inch of a small gold chain. With a slight tug, up comes the entire chain and pendant. It's not even broken and has been sitting there for almost a month.
Then came the excitement from a very, very happy lady. And I'm so happy that I was able to help her out.
