Amazing 40-Year Story of a Wedding Ring Lost and Found
Losing your wedding band or engagement ring is one of the worst things that could happen. Luckily, the people in these stories were able to find them again with the help of a gold metal detector. It was not a simple matter of searching right after the loss, however. Imagine being reunited with your most sentimental jewelry 40 years after losing it. Everywhere around the world, metal detecting enthusiasts discovered jewelry finds every day. Sometimes, the valuable pieces are reunited with their owners in almost magical ways.
A Gold Metal Detector Solves a Mystery
A quiet afternoon gardening turned into a disaster for Brenda Cautner in the backyard of her UK home in the early 1970s. [i] The wedding ring that symbolized her bond with her husband Dave slipped off her finger and was lost in the dirt and plants. The couple searched and searched but could not find the ring anywhere. Heartbroken and distraught, they decided to replace it so Brenda could have something to wear on her finger.
Years turned into decades and the happily married couple went on with their life and moved to a new home. The allotment where the house originally stood became fields as things were changed in the area. It was still a favorite place for the couple to take walks together.
It was not until 2013 when Dave happened to glance into the field on one of these walks and see their neighbor with a metal detector. Instantly, his wife’s lost ring popped into his mind and he asked the man if he would take some time to search the area. It only took a few days to get a phone call that surprised them both. With the help of his gold metal detector, the neighbor found Brenda’s lost jewelry and reunited the couple with their original wedding ring.
Other Jewelry Finds of Lost Wedding Rings
Although Brenda and Dave’s story stretched over the most time – over 40 years – there are other amazing tales of jewelry finds out there. Vivianne and Jeff from Auckland, New Zealand, experienced the same sense of loss when her engagement ring slipped from her finger on a trip to the beach. [ii] Even though Jeff got a metal detector of his own, he was not able to reunite his fiancée with her precious ring.
Six years later, metal detecting enthusiasts Bernard Patterson was searching for trash and treasures on the same beach and came across that lost ring. He turned it into the authorities who notified Vivianne and Jeff shortly after. This was not the only jewelry finds in the octogenarian’s history. Insurance companies in the area even call Bernard in to search for lost items for their policyholders. Besides engagement and wedding rings, he has also returned expensive gold bracelets and other pieces of jewelry to their original owners.
