Hello Everybody
It is with great pleasure that I can report that we found what we were looking for today. This hunt had been planned for over a year but we finally managed to get everyone together today.
2 Years ago, Jackie Toop lost her wedding band whilst gardening, Both Mr & Mrs Toop looked high and low for the ring, no luck. Since then Mrs Toop, had passed away suddenly. It was of great importance that we find the ring she had lost. It was a bit of a stretch that the ring would still be there, as grass clippings had been bagged and hauled away.
The hunt was a Members only hunt and because of the size of the area being hunted, we could only have a small number of Members Present, 6 was the magic number.
The day was grey and threatening rain which soon came along. After 2 hours of cold and rain, I FOUND IT was yelled out. The ring had been found, under an apple tree not to far from what was left of the grass clippings.
After telling the relatives that lived next door, Mr Toop and his Daughter Sarah were called and told the good news, Mr Toop couldn't believe it.
It was Club Member Mike Wesloski who did the actual find.
I want to take this time to say Thank You to all involved, especially to Mr.Toop and his Daughter Sarah.
The ring, Valued at $10,000 is back where it belongs.

Great Job... well done.  Why don't you give the story to the local paper and get some positive press for your club!

Hello Everyone
Thank you for the kind words. Not only have we been reported on but we are on the FRONT Page above the crease of one of the local papers, AND we have been contacted by a local TV Station and are in an article of an online only paper. It has been really great talking to folks and getting more exposure.
Again I want say on behalf our club, Thank you very Much for your support. I also thought you might want to see the ring after it has been cleaned up. Its a beauty.
