Wedding Band in the Snow
Caleb called me around 8:00 pm. Could I meet him in a salvage lot in East Troy, WI? He had lost his wedding band in the snow.
By December 1st, Wisconsin was covered in a thick blanket of snow. The cars in the lot were white domes of snow caged in by a chain-link fence. The ground, most likely crushed gravel was topped with hard-packed tire lines running throughout.
I thought about all the metal that would be competing with Caleb’s small gold ring, and I hoped I would be able to keep the search area relatively small. It was late and cold, and the roads were not getting any better the longer the night went on.
I assessed the area at 9:12 pm. I asked Caleb lots of questions in order to decide the best place to start searching. Thankfully, about ten minutes later I was handing the ring back to Caleb, a grateful smile stretched across his face.
Caleb’s final text read:
“Thank you so much, Seth! You have no idea how much it means to me that you were able to find my ring!”
