The twenty somethings playing volleyball on the beach spotted the old man with his metal detector.
They laughed at him. But he was focused on his device as he shuffled along.
A little later, he passed by again. This time, his device began beeping. He pulled a small shovel from his pocket and started digging. Bent low, he struggled to pull something up. The twenty somethings laughed. One, though, went over to help.
He had found a large gold nugget. It sold for $1.2 million at auction. The old man split it with the young woman who had helped him.
