Kirstie carries Emily as she, Patches and Adam head back out to the beach. Tim reaches up grabbing his wife by the hand to stop her from following.

"Something wrong?" She asks, giving him a worried look.

"No, nothing's wrong." Tim says as he pats himself on the lap, silently telling her to sit down.

She giggles as she sits down, putting an arm around his neck.

"I need a favor." He says in a hushed voice.

"Here?" Jenika asks, her eyes widening.

"Not that." Tim laughs. "I need one of Kirstin's rings and I'm not quite sure how to get it."

"Why would you want one of her rings?" Jenika asks, lowering her voice.

"I'm fixing to tell you something and you have to promise on our love that you will NOT say a word to Kirstin." Tim says giving his wife a very serious look.

"On our love? Wow, this must be very important?" Jenika asks softly.

"It means everything to Patch." Tim whispers. "He found a beautiful antique ring yesterday in the sand. Jenika, he wants to ask Kirstie to marry him."

"Oh, my God." Jenika whispers, her jaw dropping.

"But, of course, we have no idea what size the ring is and if it will even fit her. So we need one of her rings to have it sized to match." Tim explains quietly.

"Okay, getting one of her rings shouldn't be a problem." Jenika says.

"Baby, I can't express enough how important this is to Patch and you have to keep quiet about it." Tim says as he takes his wife by the hand.

"I promise, Sweetheart." Jenika says as she softly kisses her husband.

"Now, for the other favor." Tim smirks as he raises a brow.

"Hey, Guys?" Kirstie calls from the beach. "Adam wants to go metal detecting."

"Guess that other favor will have to wait till later." Jenika giggles as she stands up.

"Better late than never, I guess." Tim chuckles as Jenika pulls him out of the lounge chair.

~~ 

"This is kinda exciting. We've never used the detectors on our property before." Jenika giggles as she walks beside her husband as he slowly swings the detector back and forth over the sand.

Adam and Patches wanted to be the ones to dig up anything they find. So they walk beside Tim and Kirstie as they scan the sand for any type of metal.

Emily skips ahead of them and chases the small crabs across the sand.

"Wouldn't it be cool if we could find a buried treasure?" Kirstie laughs.

"A PIWATE TWEASUE!!" Adam screams with excitement. (pirate treasure)

"I wouldn't get too excited, Pumpkin. We hadn't found sh .. crap yet." Tim chuckles.

Patches falls to his knees and begins to dig in the sand the minute Kirstie's detector beeps.

"MUN! MUN!" He shouts as he holds up a penny and giggles. He quickly slips the penny into his pocket and then claps.

The others laugh and shake their heads at his excitement from finding the one cent coin.

"Patches is thilly." Adam giggles. (silly)

"Well, don't spoil the excitement for him." Tim smiles. "He's one penny ahead of us." Tim's metal detector beeps loudly.

"Finally." Adam says as he drops down and begins to dig. He huffs as he pulls a beer can from the sand. "Is dis yours?" Looking up at Tim.

"No, it's not mine. I don't throw my cans on the beach." Tim laughs, shaking his head.

"Hey, guys." Kevin calls out as he walks across the sand to where they were. "Finding anything?"

"Oh, yeah. We're getting rich. Patches found a penny and Adam found a beer can." Tim smirks as he continues to swing the detector back and forth.

"Where's Tori?" Kirstie asks.

"She had to go to work for a few hours." Kevin answers.

Kirstie's detector sounds again. Patches squeals as he drops to his knees again.

"Be careful, Sweetie. It might be a fishing hook." Kirstie warns.

A puzzled look comes across his face as he pulls an old bottle out of the hole. The rusty metal lid was what sounded the detector.

"Mmm ba?" He asks holding the bottle up to Kirstie. (bottle)

"Let me see that, Buddy." Kevin says as he takes the bottle to examine it.

Tim's detector sounds off.

"We're getting some action now." Jenika laughs.

"This bottle looks really old. I mean, really old. It could be worth some money." Kevin says.

"A FWEAKING WOCK!" Adam says getting annoyed at finding nothing. (freaking rock)

"Hold up. Rocks don't sound off metal detectors." Tim says as he hands the detector over to Jenika. "Let me see it."

Adam hands the small rock to Tim. He starts to rub the sand off with his thumb.

"Son of a ...." Tim mumbles to himself. "This looks like a gold nugget. It has a small hole in it like it might have been on a chain or something."

Jenika sweeps the detector over the hole and once again it beeps.

Adam digs around into the hole and soon pulls out a broken chain.

"I POUND IT!" He yells holding up the chain.

"Well, we have a very old what looks like a whiskey bottle and a gold chain with a gold nugget. You think it might actually be from a pirate? I'm being serious." Kevin says.

"Probably ... Probably just a coincidence." Tim says as his eyes scan the beach.

"Maybe, maybe not." Kevin says with a raised brow.

"Keep wooking, Jen Jen." Adam grins. (looking)

"Don't get your hopes up, Adam." Tim warns. The detector sounds again a few feet away.

They all freeze in their tracks and look at each other.

"Alright. We're getting just a little too excited here." Tim laughs.

Patches runs over and begins to help Adam dig into the soft sand.

"Mmm pin." Patches grins as he holds up an old rusty nail. (find)

"A nail?" Adam pouts as his shoulders slump. He begins to cry which causes Patches to start crying.

Tim slowly turns his head to Kevin and raises a brow.

"Uh, sorry." Kevin says.
