Garbage Dump Workers Find Woman's Missing Diamond Rings in Trash

I was packing for a trip back East to visit family when I noticed my engagement ring was gone. Took everything out of the box and no ring. Convinced myself that I had heard a ping when flushing the toilet and called my plumber friend to come go through all the pipes and the sewer in the middle of the street...no ring. Had no clue where it was but considered it gone. Sent my package via USPS to cousins house and waited on time to take my trip. Flight was iced out so plane cancelled, trip cancelled.
Started shopping for a new ring to replace the one that was lost and to my surprise the price on diamonds and gold had gone sky high since we bought it so just kind of set it on the back burner.
About a month later cousin finally sent my box from my cancelled trip home. I opened it up and my ring was laying right there on top. It must’ve been hung up on something when I looked through it previously and shook loose with the trip to Arkansas and back. lol
Next day I took my engagement ring and wedding band to the jeweler to have them soldered.

My husband used to keep his gold ring in a clay vase when he went to work (as a cop). For some reason I got really aggressive with the vacuum cleaner one day, and without thinking, sucked up all “dust” on that particular shelf. I had forgotten about the cleaning spree until I realized the ring was gone, weeks later. Through a series of back tracking, I went back to the vacuum cleaner bag, ripped it open, and there it was! I could have thrown out the vacuum bag and it would have been too late to recover the ring. I felt like God was leading me right to the place to find it.
