Nice story. My husband lost his high school ring. The finder also contacted the high school and it was returned. He also lost the tiffany wedding band i gave him. Never found. Then the tiffany band he teplaced it with. He stopped wearing rings after that.
I lost my wedding band working in the yard digging and pulling weeds.
Found it 5 years later doing the same thing!.............
If it isn’t taken off the finger it won’t be lost. That said my daughter and her husband wear rubber wedding bands when they work.
