Here's irony for you. A long time ago (early 1970's) I was detecting on Virginia Beach. Took a break to go into the surf to cool off and lost my OWN class ring. Too deep to go after it with my old D-Tex. Shortly after that a cute girl comes running up to me saying she just lost her engagement ring while shaking off her blanket. I searched for about 30 minutes near where she told me she was and she gave up and went back to her hotel. I did find a LOT of coins while looking though. About 10 minutes after she left I found her ring - nice gold, diamond and rubies. Thought a little while about keeping it but saw one of her friends and told them to go get her. I did get a reward - she kissed me on the cheek, but even that wasn't what it could of been since my wife was standing there next to me. BTW- my ring is Mount Vernon High School - MVHS 1970, some sort of light blue stone if you find it now 40 years later LOL. Oh, and there is also my gold wedding band somewhere on the shoulder of Interstate 66 between Fairfax and Manassas courtesy of the same (now ex) wife who threw it out of the car window. Good luck finding THAT one!
