Maybe you saw this one on TV. It was on Fox Business this morning. A fellow proposed to his fiancé in New York City. The ring fell into a sewer grate. The police were not able to get it out that night and the couple gave up on it and flew back home, leaving no address. The next morning the police looked for it again and got it out but didn't know how to contact the couple. The put it on Twitter and a friend of the couple saw it and told them, so they got the ring back.
Here is the link.

Nice work by the police. It also shows how the world is very connected now by social media.
To those of you who don't detect, if you lose something don't give up on it right away. At least leave a contact phone or address. Sometimes things do turn up.

I read where someone was going to buy a Tesoro metal detector because of the advertised lifetime warranty. I've mentioned this before, but Tesoro won't honor the "lifetime" warranty when they determine the detector is obsolete. I have two "obsolete" Tesoro detectors, which they won't repair under warranty. So "lifetime" doesn't mean to them what you would think it does.
