something to ponder....or not .

So here's a question. Does finding a pair of cheap earrings separated by 50 feet of beach make them any less cheap? After the few moments of thinking "oh cool...it's the mate to the one I found 20 minutes ago !!...how cool is that !" I mean it's a cheap thrill at best. At least that is what I am tending to believe. It happens rarely enough (for me) so I thought I would share.

KOB · Oct 19, 2020

Yes. It makes it even cheaper. Because you just exerted yourself an additional 50' to find...another piece of junk. Junk is junk....

I think that finding any pair of earrings is significant- if it can happen with cheap earrings it can happen with more valuable ones. :yes:

I've found pairs of silver earrings but still looking for that set of gold ones!

I think I have found pairs only twice in one hunt. May not make them more valuable but it does add to the cool factor,

I guess you're right....on an "X" rated site...

The earrings might not have a lot of worth but the accomplishment is pricelss!
A very rare thing indeed.

I did find a pair of silver teardrop earrings....many ...many years ago... I think it was before phones that could take pictures...

"priceless"....I sure can't argue with that. and I did get a 'oh that's cool" from my wife....which is not the normal comment I get when I bring a sand filled finds pouch of stuff...into the house....

Moral satisfaction? You did a good thing uniting two long lost twins. Perhaps, they did not even know the other one existed. Separated after birth... :crying:

You know.....the world did feel momentarily brighter when they were both in my pouch.....hanging out and reacquainting themselves. And to think...I did that !... I am starting to feel pretty darn good about finding the two of them. Thanks for that ! :lol:

I will hold onto them for a little while before I toss them. I guess I am sentimental like that...

KOB · Oct 19, 2020

Tossing idea : go back to your beach at the waterline. Toss them about 2' apart. Go back in a week , month , whatever. It would be interesting if you found them again and how far they traveled along the beach.

Hmmm...daring....risky....scary....filled with uncertainty....i kinda like it. Maybe I throw them into the waves....and see how long it takes them to find New Jersey.

I had found an ear ring over two hours before. When i dug its twin a block or two down the beach i wondered how it had gotten out of my finds pouch. Of course they were junk but it was nice to see the two of them togethere.

The only think I can think of that's better is scooping a watch that is just like yours....then glancing at your wrist and realizing it IS yours!.
