My Metal Detecting friend Christina
came over this morning for my husband to detail her Jeep in hot pink
and light pink.. She took me to dinner at Bojangles which I love and
we just got in our town. Aftewards, I took her to Sunset Park where
we found a bunch of sharks teeth laying on the bank. They are very
plentiful here but small. She and I had a great time! Then we went
over the Folly Beach Metal Detecting. I bet we weren't there 15
minutes and 4 ladies walked over to me and asked me, “Do you ever
find anything with that thing,” (pointing at my MD) I said, yes. I
showed them the two rings on my fingers my husband and I found and
then I proceeded to tell them about the time I found a high school
ring. It was gold and had a guys name in it. I told them about me
giving it back to the man and hoping I would have a good story for
the newspaper but.... come to find out, the ring had been stolen off
the mans dresser by his son whom had asked to wear it and was told
no! I said, well.. it wouldn't have been a good story telling on the
child and how embarrassing to the family, so I didn't get in the
paper. I said, I have been praying since then that someday I will
find another one and there will be a great story behind it. They
wished me luck and walked off. I bet not even 10 minutes later I seen
a Tiki Bar where people were standing around it getting drinks....
there were lawn chairs in front on the beach with blue umbrella's
over them. There wasn't someone in each of the chairs so I thought,
“What will it hurt if I detect between the chairs where there is
no-one sitting”? So I proceeded to do so. About the second chair I
came to, I got a signal which read 25-50 cents, or gold. I thought,
“Well, it must be a nice coin, or it's mixed up and it's only a
quarter”. I dipped down with my sand scoop to retrieve it and the
weight in the scoop was pretty heavy. I thought I had picked up a
rock on the beach somehow. I shook the sand loose and looking down in
my scoop, to my surprise, was a Big GOLD Ring! I can only imagine the
look on my face when I seen this thing. So unexpected! I was saying,
“Christina, Christina”.... but she had head phones on and
couldn't hear me. I looked over at this couple and the man had been
watching and I caught his glance and his smile as he put hit head
back into the book trying to act as though he had not been looking
but recognizing the excitement on my face. I started walking to her
and when she seen it, she hollored! What I had found was a GOLD
Citadel Military College Ring. From what I know about them now, they
cost between 700-800.00. I was so excited! I plan to give this ring
back. It had his name in it and where he lives. He doesn't live but
about an hour away from me. It's so funny how quickly I found this
ring after telling those ladies my story and how I longed to find
another ring. I sure hope this ring has a good story! Lol
