It seems like half of the lost ring searches I have done are where the husband and wife have gotten into an argument and one throws their ring across the yard. I often arrive to a very tense environment where the husband stands at one end of the yard and the wife stands at the other end with their arms crossed as I am searching. No matter how many searches like this I do, it always feels weird. A lot of the time they won't admit it, but it is clear what happened to the ring.
