Yesterday morning, I received an email from Britton that he lost his wedding ring! We have lost other things before, like contact lenses, and even Josh, our parrot, once (he flew out the back door), and we found them all, so we have not given up hope yet. This is how the email conversation went yesterday:

When you go home for lunch can you check the shower for my ring?  I don’t know where its at….maybe its in the cat/dog food in the garage?

Yeah I just realized that I don’t have it on. 

 Im betting its at home in the bed, shower, dog food or outside by the rocks.

I bet its in the shower, but I would have thought you’d notice it when you were in there.  But could be in the dog food.

I don’t have my contacts in when I’m in the shower so I could’ve missed it

Well the only thing I can do is look for it. 

I checked everywhere here that I’ve been and didn’t see it.  So I think its at home.

When was the last time you had it on? I know you had it on yesterday…did you have it when you went to sleep?

If I didn’t have it on when I went to bed I would have realized it.

Its like the contact lens….I’ll find the ring.  I just hate being stuck somewhere and not having it on.

_________________________________________________________

We just got it (and my rings) polished on Saturday when we were getting watch batteries replaced at the jeweler’s, so it was slicker than usual on his finger. We searched and searched and have yet to find it. Today he posted something on his work’s classified system to see if he could borrow a metal detector since we were gardening on Sunday evening and it may have fallen off in the rocks or dirt. Some nice soul said we could use his brand new detector tomorrow. We’ll see how that goes.

After that, anyone ever seen a dowser work to locate a lost wedding ring  (or anything for that matter)?
