Aloha this must be a one in a million chance return. I hunted this park near my house on December 23, 2007. I had dug over 100 targets and was getting tired. I was heading to sit on a park bench to rest and on my way to the bench I got a zinc penny reading on my Minelab Explorer2. I was so tired I was not going to dig it but I said what the heck. To my surprise it was an 8 gram 18k mans wedding band about 3 inches deep. It had an inscription inside that read Glenn loves Rachel 11-23-91. I listed the ring on Craig's list with the description and place I found the ring asking for the inscription inside, but got no replies. I wore the ring on my chain for two years and asked all my friends if they knew anyone by those names, no luck. Then one day I went to my girlfriend Millie's dentist office to have some work done on my teeth. The dentist Dr. Garret asked if I had found anything good lately? I showed him the ring and he looked it over and said that he knew a couple Glenn and Rachel that goes to his church. Dr. Garret’s wife was in the office and she said they got married about that time. I immediately felt that this ring had to belong to them. He called the couple and talked to Glenn and asked if he had lost his wedding ring. Glenn said he had lost his ring five years ago, when he went swimming in a pool near the park. He said that he took off his ring and put it in his shoe so he wouldn’t lose it. He said he must have forgot to put the ring back on and lost it on his way back to the car.
Last week the dentist office had a picnic and Dr. Garret invited Glenn and his family. When I met Glenn I had noticed that he did not have a wedding ring on. His wife Rachel said this was his second ring he had lost and did not get him another one. I showed Glenn the ring and his face lit up and in my heart I knew this was his. I know that I could have gotten $180.00 at Midwest refinery, but I know I did the right thing and found it’s rightful owner. Here is a pic of Glenn and his ring.
