In the middle of October, I received a call from Peter concerning a Lost Ring in the middle of the woods in Maine. Peter and his son had been bird hunting. They were successful and they decided to clean the bird at the end of the road. After cleaning the bird, he rinsed his hands with some water and shook them to get the water off. A few miles down the road Peter realized his ring was missing. His son remembers the ring on his finger when he was cleaning the bird. He felt he must’ve lost it after rinsing his hands off. They went back and searched the Area visibly check the bird remains thoroughly and did not find a ring. He then drove approximately 60 miles to a town and bought a metal detector. Returning after dark, they searched the area with the metal projector and could not find a ring. The next day he contacted me. I was unable to go immediately because I was going myself into the North Maine woods to bird hunt. I said we can do it next Sunday or we could do it Tuesday .Tuesday. We can hunt birds Sunday we cannot. We both agreed to do it next Tuesday. 27 October. We met up at a crossroads in the woods and Peter led the way to the end of this road. They showed me where they had cleaned the bird. I searched the area and the only thing I found was bullet casings. 9 mm and a lot of them. We moved my vehicle and searched the road area and the area where he was standing in the road behind him. The first picture with his son and him standing beside it shows where he was cleaning the bird . At the time they were doing that his vehicle was parked directly behind him. We search For approximately a half an hour and couldn’t not find a ring. I searched every place. I felt the Ring could possibly have flown off his hands. Finally, I had him move his vehicle out Of the way and search there. The final place, of course proved to be successful. His ring had flown off his finger, and either flown over his vehicle, parked behind him or under the vehicle and roll or somehow ended up on the other side of the road. I felt this was the least likely place it could be, but that’s where it was. in the end, another ring was where it belongs.
