When I was detecting the beaches of N.C. over Christmas, I found a military bracelet. It contained the name of a man who was K.I.A. in Afghanistan.
Through some searching I was able to get a phone number to the young man's grandmother. I was able to talk to her this evening. She was so grateful for my calling and finding out if they had wanted it back. Needless to say I got the address and am mailing it out tomorrow.
I'm thrilled and humbled by the opportunity to return something to someone. When I purchased my detector a little less than 3 weeks ago I just had thoughts of finding coins and the occasional trinket. When I found this bracelet I knew what had to be done and am happy to be able to bring an article like this back to someone. I can see there is a whole other side to detecting.
