Lost Ring Found by Stranger After Bee Attack
8 Sep
Summary
- Wedding band lost during landscaping due to a bee swarm.
- A stranger used a metal detector to find the ring weeks later.
- The recovered ring is highly sentimental to the owner.
David Ashe experienced a distressing incident in early August when a bee swarm attacked him while he was landscaping his backyard in Catawba, North Carolina. In his haste to escape the attack, his white gold wedding band, adorned with diamonds, flew off his finger. The ring held immense sentimental value as it was chosen and engraved by his wife.
Weeks passed, and despite Ashe's initial attempts with a low-cost metal detector, the ring remained lost. Fearful it might be washed into a nearby lake, he then discovered The Ring Finders online and contacted Brad Trogdon, a local detectorist. Trogdon diligently searched the wooded ravine for hours, eventually locating the ring nestled in a rotten tree stump, much to Ashe's profound relief and joy.
