Gold wedding ring lost for years found in Amelia, Virginia

Alan contacted me about a gold ring his father had lost a couple years ago while doing some yard work. He thought it would make a great father’s day gift to have it found and returned. I headed out to the beautiful historic property. There I was greeted by two of the nicest people I have met, Alan’s parents. Despite mobility issues, his dad was able to describe what he was doing when the ring was lost, and really helped narrow the search area. Luck was on our side. The ring had landed in an area where it avoided the lawn mower while it sank a few inches into the soil. I carefully extracted it, cleaned off the dirt. shined it up a little with a cloth, then took it over to where Alan’s dad was sitting. He looked up and I said « Happy Father’s Day » as I placed the ring in his hand. He was very happy to have it back, and I was very grateful to be able to do it for him.
