Lost gold pendant – Fairhope, AL
I got a call from Brad earlier this week about a small pendant that was lost in his yard a couple days prior. He was in Fairhope which is only about 20 miles away from me on Dauphin Island as the crow flies, but is over an hour drive because it’s “across the bay” as we like to say here. Because of the distance, we mutually agreed that an afternoon later in the week would work best for both of us.
The day finally arrived and I talked my hubby into a nice little afternoon drive. After running into an unmarked detour and a street that was so new it wasn’t on my car’s GPS, we finally found his house. After carefully listening to the details of how it was lost, we both sectioned off a portion of the yard and started gridding. Almost an hour later just as we were almost about to give up, I heard a shallow target with a promising tone on my Nox 800. I simultaneously looked down and there was the tiny 18K gold pendant with a stone nestled in the grass ! Yay !! I happily knocked on the door and dropped the little pendant into Brad’s hand. I always love the surprised look I get. Brad stepped out and quickly pulled a very generous monetary reward out of his pocket which, as always, I just as quickly turned down. Karma is always my best reward ! Brad declined my request for a picture of him, but he did let me take a picture of his two adorable little girls who looked very happy that Mommy and Daddy were happy.
