Sight find in my backyard

[tapoutking]

So, I was in my backyard spraying weeds in an area under a large tree when I noticed the edge of a ring peeking out of the dirt. I have three kids and this is their play area so I figured it was one of their many toy rings. I bent down, pulled it from the dirt and as I was breaking away the dirt that was clumped on it I realized it was no toy ring. Once I got all the dirt from it, shined it on my shirt, I realized it was a womans gold wedding band. The inscription on the inside had names and a date of 1996. I forgot to take pics but will simply because its my first Gold......lol.. It must have belonged to someone living in my house prior to me.

Anyway....... MY FIRST GOLD.....

oh, and its 14k and heavier than my own wedding band.

Wow...that is pretty cool finding it like that. I'm sure the lady was absolutely heart broken when she lost it. It would make a lovely return story!

She probably threw it out the back door as they were getting a divorce, right before they sold the house.

I spoke to a neighbor last night and she doesn't recognize the names. I am going to ask a few more neighbors if they may possibly know who the ring belongs to. Im going to try to get it back to the owner.

You have to love eyeball finds......Lets see a picture of the ring...congrats on the lucky find.......you know all stories have two sides....the bulk of people feel somebody simply lost the ring....I have seen women throw their rings out of spite....quick and hot tempered.....you never know...I guess its kind of like the glass is half full or half empty? Either way the ring has some sort of story behind it and we can only speculate.....only the original owner knows the true story....

Happy HH
