Swanville, Maine lost engagement ring found and returned
Last week I received a text from Jacob asking if I would look for his fiancé‘s lost Engagement ring. He stated she lost it while watering her flowers. He purchased a Metal detector specifically to search for the ring, but was unable to find it. He felt after searching that he lacked expertise to find the ring. A plan was made to meet the following afternoon after his fiancé got out of work. I arrived a little early before she got home and spoke with Jacob on the phone confirming the search areas. I started with the easy areas first around the flowerbeds. at the end of the second flower bed loop I hit the first good repeatable signal. I had the ring and had only been detecting for 10 to 15 minutes.
Jacob‘s fiancé arrived shortly thereafter. I introduced myself greeting her with my hand out stretched for a handshake with the ring hidden in my palm hoping to hand it to her with the handshake. The idea sounded better in my mind than how it actually worked! As she was not expecting it, she dropped the ring.
She said what was that? I reached down and picked up the ring handing it to her saying you’ve dropped it a second time.
She was all smiles and indicated that after a long day, this was a great way to end it!
PS I forgot to get her picture
