Title: My Good Deed Today (Bling)
Post by: celticspikey on May 11, 2017, 08:39:37 PM
I had a phone call from one of my farmers last night, the owner of the farms daughter had been out riding the day before when her horse spooked and nearly threw her ! in doing so she felt her ring fly off her hand. I arranged to meet the farmer this morning with the aim to recover the ring. The ring is an exact replica of a family heirloom that had been lost some years earlier, so the family had commissioned an exact replica to be made, it has the family crest engraved on it, as you can imagine the owner was very upset. Anyway long story short, they had marked out an area where the ring was lost and I was left to find it....20 minutes later and 20 feet from where they thought it was lost bang a signal, and there it was, you can see from the pictures the grass was long in places and of course that's where it was found.
Unfortunately the owner had to return to America so I was unable to meet her. Happy Days.  ;)
