Wedding ring lost on 50-acre farm returned 15 years later

WAYNE Corprew cut down a Christmas tree for his family at a farm in 2010 —and when he got to his truck to drive it home, he realised his wedding ring was missing.

He searched to no avail, then reported it to Sue Bostic, who owned the 50-acre farm.

Bostic wrote Corprew’s name and cellphone number on a yellow sticky note that she pinned onto a bulletin board in her office.

“Lost wedding Ring Band,” the note said. “Do not throw Away.”

Fifteen years later, Corprew, 61, was shocked to receive a call from Joe’s Trees in Newport, Virginia. The farm’s new owners found the ring covered in dirt while planting corn last month.
