I got a call from a lady who lost her wedding ring last year. She was loading a compost bin when she got attacked by angry bees. During the chaos, her ring went flying off. They searched but couldn’t find it. For the past year she had hoped to hear about someone local who might have a metal detector, and then she saw my ad.
This ring has quite the 30 plus year history. She had to get it cut off her finger once, had it resized another time, had it re-hammered by the original goldsmith who made both their matching rings.
I went to their house today and found it in under 5 minutes. She was so happy and relieved to have it back. As we were standing there having a nice visit about the long history of the property, I offered to let them use one of my detectors to try to find something that may have belonged to the original owner 250 years ago.
While showing them how to use a detector, I got a nice signal, and about 3” down a silver 1783 Reale showed up! Probably last held over 200 years ago by the owner. It was a double miracle day!
