Monday it was raining, with lightning and thunder. My iPhone rang. The lady was saying that she had lost her engagement ring on the beach. I asked her if it was in the water…she said no. I told her that we had a great chance of finding the ring, but we should try to go out after the storm even if it is dark. I told her that I would call her in 30 minutes.
I called her and the storm had move off to the south and east. I met Regina and her friend Susan at the beach access. As they led me to the beach, I fired up the XP detector. As we got closer, they said they thought we were at the area…but something was wrong; things looked different after the rain, and they were not 100% sure.
As a beautiful rainbow appeared to the south, Regina gave me a starting point and I began doing sweeps. When I was about halfway through my second sweep, Regina told me there was a second ring, not as important or expensive. It was her late husband’s wedding band. I thought, we must find these. I said, “So if I find one, I should find the other.”
I was in my third or forth sweep finding nothing but bottle caps when I got a solid sounding target. I thought it could be the ring but I expected a lower number. There it was! In the scoop! Even though it was getting darker, the diamonds sparkled, and the turquois stone glistened.
I held the stone up to show the ladies who had ventured off to the south. Regina saw it and immediately began crying as I gave it to her. One more simple sweep and I dug the other ring out with my toe. Hugs, tears…another person recovered happy beyond belief!
We found two rings at the end of the rainbow!
