Lost Item Recovery
SVDB member Scott Newens recovered this lost wedding ring! Scott received an email from a man who’s wife had lost a gold wedding band in their front yard. They had been looking for it for some time but without any luck. Scott arrived at their home in about ten minutes ready to help! The grass was thick but Scott was able to find the ring in about two minutes. The couple was quite happy, relieved and grateful.
