Class Ring Recovered – Wake Forest
I was contacted by a gentleman up in Wake Forest. He had been watering plants in the yard and noticed when he was through that one of his rings was missing. He described it as a man’s class ring, which was great news (a man’s class ring is large and if the person knows roughly where they lost it, it is usually a straightforward recovery). Even better, he had a second, slightly larger class ring to show me what I was looking for. (The larger ring was for his PhD degree and the smaller one – the one that was lost – was for his undergraduate degree. Other than the size difference, they were identical.) He had thoroughly searched all the usual places (pockets, floors, counters, trash, etc.) and finally concluded that it must be outside, which is when he called me. He showed me the path he had followed when watering and mentioned that he had stopped only once, to fill up a pail with water. I started where he started and within 5 minutes I had located the ring. It had come off his finger when he was filling the pail and had fallen through the grass onto the dirt. Given the way the grass had grown up in that area, there was no way it could be seen from above. Anyway, recovered the ring for him – another happy ending!
