Third time's a charm!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

I received a text from a woman who had lost her wedding ring after a « discussion » with her husband. He saw the ring fly up in the air, but it was nighttime and they hadn’t been able to find it the next day. As I was out of town on vacation, I contacted two friends and asked them to visit the woman and see if they could locate the ring. They each went to her house and searched but were unable to find it. When I got back to town I contacted her and asked if I could come out and give it one more try. She agreed and I made the hour drive to her house. Her husband explained the backstory and then detailed where they had looked for the ring, which seemed to cover all the obvious possibilities. I didn’t see much point in going over ground that had already been searched, but it seemed like he had thoroughly searched all the out-of-the-way places (in the rain gutter, on the roof, in the flower bed, etc.). Anyway, I decided to really scour the yard on the off-chance that it had been missed. On my third sweep across the front yard I got a solid signal and found it! As you can see in the pictures, it’s an impressive ring and when the husband told his wife that I had found it, she was absolutely beside herself. Very glad to be able to reunite the wife with her ring. Another Happy Ending!
