I received an e-mail from lostmystuff.com regarding a ring that was locally lost. I was on my way home after work when the e-mail came through on my phone.
I wasn't going to call the guy and go out that same day but instead wait until the next day. Why? Because even though I had the detector in the truck, I did not have a change of clothes. The next thing I realized I was doing was talking on the phone. I had the area and was on my way to the beach. After a short stop at wal-mart, I was on the way to the beach again. I was changing in the truck when i encountered the first problem. The 2X shirt I bought did not fit me. I was confused because there was no way I grew that fat that fast. Looking at the shirt revealed a Y2XL.
I took my station on the beach and began a grid pattern. I had little hope because it was now at very high tide and he was on the beach on a negative low tide. I stayed high on the wet/dry divide and after 30 minutes or so was rewarded with a nice 6.7gr 14k mens band. It is engraved but not with anything to identify the owner.
I went on to search for the lost Platinum ring but without success. I called the lost ring guy to tell him the sad news but also that I would continue to look for it. As it turns out, while i was watching girls jogging in bikinis and finding gold on the beach, his wife found the ring in the babies diaper bag.
