All is well that ends well.

Yesterday I went to the woods where I deer hunt. Moved a stand from one location in the woods to a different location. During the process I lost my wedding ring (51 years last August). My friend who was helping and I looked and looked and didn't see it. I thought I would just have to get a new one.

Today I borrowed a metal detector from a friend of Nancy's. Found it 5' away from the tree in the second location.

I called Nancy and said I was more sentimental than I realized as I was overjoyed to get it back.

Glad you found it, Bud!

My lost and found story

I found a replica gold bar at the local landfill when I was about twelve years old. I thought it was real until I read the back saying it was a copy of the gold stored at Fort Knox. Still didn't want to believe it was fake, but it was. Anyway, it disappeared about twenty years ago, I had no idea where it went.

Years go by and your memory plays tricks, I kinda forgot about the print on the back. Anyway, I found it about two weeks ago in a place that I have no memory of ever putting it.

Well, It's still a fake gold bar, but it was like finding the kid that loved to poke around the landfill looking for treasure forty two-ish years ago.

Forgot to attach photo!

Good thing - hate to see you have to start over - don't think you'd have any chance of doing as well (and certainly not better)!

Good result.

I've found a lot of things, including 2 diamond rings.

One of them jeweler said was from late 1800's early 1900's, a beautiful gold setting with nice diamond.

Second was modern engagement ring, gold, nice diamond.

2 rings, 100 years apart, similar purpose, lost, found by same moke.

One in the woods, one on the road.

They're out there...
