This story starts 3 weekends ago.
After receiving a call about a lost ring, Hager and I meet up with a man & his wife to try to find his gold wedding band.
The couple had been married for less than a year and he had lost the ring the previous weekend while canoeing down a river about 50 miles from where I live.
We met up at the canoe rental place and after loading up all of our equipment, the out-fitter took us upstream. After a 2-hour float in kayaks we arrived at the location where the ring was lost.
Hager and I hit the waist high swift flowing water and begin our hunt. After about 3 hours of hunting... we came away with several lures, lead weights, and lots of trash. But the big find was a gold ring that turned out not to be the one we were looking for. This ring had 17 diamonds...WOW.
After another 2-hour float down to the pick-up site, the couple handed me a few bills for coming to look for his ring and we said our goodbyes.
As we were going down the road, I opened up the bills he had given to us and discovered that he had paid us $200 cash.
Here is the rest of the story....
Hager and I went back to the same area the following Saturday and we found the man's lost ring. We then headed into the nearby town and returned the ring to the guy's wife (he was in the hay field working). This was the day before their first wedding anniversary. I have attached a image of the happy reunion
Oh.... the ring that we found with the diamonds... was appraised at over $4000 dollars. That's right $4000.00
The first two images are of the returned ring. The 3rd image is the ring when found and the last is after the appraisal.
