My 4th Gold Wedding Band Returned & I was blessed too!
I was recently contacted by a guy about a month ago that saw the article about me & my metal detecting hobby in the paper. He asked if I would be willing to look for his lost wedding band at the house he & his wife previously lived at. He thought he lost it in the back yard, but that was 10 years ago.
He had tried for almost ten years to find it, and had rented three different metal detectors, but still couldn't find it. He said he raked for days looking for that ring, but nothing. 
Of course I'm always up for a challenge so I said "heck yes".
The arrangements were made with the new property owners, and I finally made it over there yesterday after work to look for it.
Folks, I was only there for 5 minutes and on my third signal I dug up the ring in the back yard. First in that hole was a rusty nail. Then I rescanned the hole as we all know is a good idea. I had a second signal in that hole, dug a bit more and saw that beautiful site of gold we all love to see shining back. 
I'm glad I found it quickly because it was hot, humid, and the darn mosquitoes were tearing me up!
I called the guy up right away and he couldn't believe it. Actually the phone went silent for a minute. I think he was in shock?
It will be exactly 10 years this Saturday that he lost it he said. He was overjoyed & speechless.
He and his wife are very religious and he told me he never gave up hope of finding that original ring.
It is 14k and engraved "Trina to Tim - 9/19/92".
My wife & I dropped it off to them tonight & got I got a picture with them which is all I ever want as my reward.
Before we left, he said a prayer and said I was sent from God to do this good deed.
Now I don't know about all that, but I'm glad I could at least end their search for the lost wedding ring.
That makes #4 for me on the lost & returned wedding bands, but I still haven't found a class ring yet.![:-\](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/undecided.gif "Undecided :-\")
Thanks for looking folks,
