I got text from Steven, a nice gentleman who lives only about two miles from my house. He and his wife had been moving firewood from the front of their house (where the logs had been dumped) to a shed area in the back yard and sometime during this activity, she lost her wedding ring. We made arrangements to meet at their house so I could find her ring. They showed me the area where the firewood had been and where it was stacked now. Seemed simple enough to search just that area, since that was the area where they’d been working.
While I was searching, Steven and I had been chatting about our common interest – history. After maybe 45 minutes with no luck, Steven invited me to see his workshop. Turns out that Steven collects antique tools and wanted to show me. While we were there, I had a thought and asked if he or his wife had checked the gloves she was wearing. He said they both had checked, but I asked if checking one more time would be ok. He agreed and with my handheld detector, found that the ring was still in the finger slot of one of the gloves. We were all surprised, but it’s always a good feeling to recover something that means a great deal to someone. Another happy ending!
Great find Doug!
