Lost Ring Found in Otaihanga, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, New Zealand
Lisa was cleaning out a hens’ nest on her deck when she noticed her ring was no longer on her finger.
The gold ring with 3 big opals belonged to her mother who had just recently passed away.
The hens had made a nest in an old suitcase which Lisa had filled with straw. While she was cleaning the area around the case she was giving some fairly vigorous flicks with a cloth and when she noticed the ring was missing and assumed it had finished up on the nearby grass.
After searching the grass and the nearby gardens very thoroughly without success, I turned my attention to the nest.
I used my pinpointer to probe the straw and thought I was getting a signal from the metal fittings on the case but when I lifted the straw up I could see the ring in the bottom of the case.
