Emeline was certain she lost her 3-ring 18K set in her backyard while talking
with friends. She had made a sweeping motion with her arm while talking. It was
already dark when it happened, so no one saw where it went.
Scott and I searched about an hour, covering the small backyard thoroughly. We
had also searched underneath a row of tall bushes along one side of the yard. It
just wasn’t there. But it had to be. As a last ditch effort, we shook the bushes
pretty hard and checked underneath again. Walla! I found it with a pinpointer
going down the row of bushes a second time, reaching underneath with a pinpointer.
It had hung up in the bushes.
When we saw the ring, it was obvious that the type of ring made it easy to hang
up in a bush. It was a pretty unique 3-ring set. Each ring looped through at
least one of the other rings, but none were bonded in any way to any other ring.
So they were three individual rings looking for something to hang up on while
falling through the bush it had hit.
