Another reason to shoot magpies

if its lost in a gut pile, im sure a dog could that, then use the metal detector in the area

It's likely already in a pile of badger/fox shite,miles away from where it was lost.
A friend lost his band in his own garden during a BBQ, he borrowed a metal detector to find it.Easy job you'd think,if it wasn't for some dick ,after finding out what was going on went and liberally scattered a bag of washers over the same lawn .

Its gone, if it helps you to accept the loss go back and have a look, but its almost definitely gone.
Grovel and beg for forgiveness, bite the bullet and get another ring, wear it on a chain around your neck.
I’m on my third replacement, first one got caught in an alternator pulley and damn near took my finger off, another fell off my finger into the Georges channel, I’ve no idea what happened to the last one, one day it just wasn’t there anymore.

Is it on your household insurance? Often covers items taken outside.
If you can’t find it, make a claim. Tell the mrs that you really don’t need a ring to prove etc etc.
Spend the cash on shooting.
You’re welcome

True story, my sister was painting a mural on the toilet block on Hackney green, when a Magpie landed on her shoulder. It pulled off her silver earring & flew away with it. Someone had obviously trained it. Clever.

Yes, house insurance would cover it but I'm reluctant to claim for a (relatively) small value

Ouch....... but have had to cut a fair number of wedding rings off over the years in A&E due to similar mishaps to other folk - traumatic at the time, but the consequences of leaving the offending item in place were far worse.
Hope slider manages to get a metal detector out to work when the snow/frost/ice has gone, but I fear a visit to a jewellers some time soon

it’ll aye be there come the thaw, you can retrace your steps, the glove, if discarded will aye be there, if not, then it might be worth marking the nearby trees meantime so you know where to start looking ance the snow is awa.

Trouble is I can't be certain it is there. Not even sure when I lost it, just notice it a few days ago and making some assumptions. Gloves sometimes turn inside out when removed, so it MAY be at the kill site. Glove came home inside the carcass. Check that, the gloves I used during butchery and recovered and checked the bag of waste from the bin.....

Might be in the mince, then! Frustrating, the not knowing when it parted company.

Maybe some will think their gold filling has come out when they bite into my burgers

That would be worth more that sixpence in the pudding then lol .
don't wear rings after I see a pal rip his finger off when his ring got hooked in a drag rope on a fishing boat he did squeal

 

[slider]

Well I'll be dammed!!!

I opened the back door of the car this morning an there was my missing ring sitting on the back seat.....

It definitely wasn't there before as I cleaned out the car and had the seat cover in the washing machine last week. I was out Stalking this morning and my jacket and backpack were on the seat, I can only imagine it had somehow got into a pocket and fallen out this morning.

Happy days and happy Mrs Slider.

One Ring to show our love.
One Ring to bind us.
One Ring to seal our love,
And forever entwine us.

That's great news!

 

[Husky]

The wee folk found it and put it in your car.

 

[VSS]

Happy ending! Lovely!

 

[Foxyboy43]

A great result and poetry showing love - I must be on the wrong site…..

Mrs Slder and I had matching gold bands modeled after the One Ring from the Lord of the Rings films.

Lost mine the other day, suspect I puuled it off with latex gloves after a gralloch - I'm not in the good books!

When I got married, the much beloved chose the rings, there is a reason why I have a £200 titanium ring, and she has a £2000 platinum and diamond wedding ring, her exact words were, there is no way you are having an expensive ring loose while grubbing about after deer.

Now glue it on, before it goes missing again

Would of been more fitting if you had spent a week with metal detector raking around stinky guts etc for it to turn up some time later on the back seat of car.
It was clearly meant to be as you were reunited with it
