Thrown ring lost over a year, found! – Hartford, WI
Understandably, the ring’s owner wishes to remain anonymous. This is because the ring was, regrettably, thrown; lost in a moment of anger. It happened 13 months ago.
Last year I made two trips and spent a dozen hours searching for this engagement ring, but I was not able to locate it. This spring, I was about to reach out to the couple again when my phone rang. It was the client. Would I try again? I made the 40-minute drive and spent nearly 7 hours one day, carefully scanning the lawn with a new high-frequency search coil, one that is very sensitive to small white-gold targets. As darkness ensued, I arranged to return the following week to resume the search. Upon arrival, I set out my grid lines once again and continued scanning the ground. A faint signal deep in the grass invited further investigation. I was expecting the usual foil and or pull tab, but as it turned out, the signal was that of the missing ring! Hugs, smiles and tears ensued.
Recovering this ring helped the young couple close a dark chapter in their marriage, a sad story, and move on together with renewed commitment. It’s a story with a happy ending!
If you or someone you know has lost a ring, even a thrown one, you can be assured I am not out to judge anyone. Life happens! I’m only too happy to try and find the ring and return it discreetly and with warmest wishes for every future success. Sometimes, perseverance, confidentiality, understanding, lots of grace and modern technology all join hands to facilitate the healing of a strained relationship. This is definitely one of those times!
