He lost his wedding ring on a 50-acre farm. It was returned 15 years later.
Briefly

Wayne Corprew lost his wedding ring while cutting down a Christmas tree at Joe's Trees in 2010. After searching and reporting the loss to the farm's owner, the story remained unforgotten through a sticky note on a bulletin board. In a remarkable turn of events, the new owners of the farm found the ring while planting corn 15 years later and contacted Corprew, reigniting memories of his lost item and the family traditions associated with the tree.
"Lost wedding Ring Band, Do not throw Away." This note remained on the bulletin board for 15 years, keeping the memory of the lost ring alive in the farm's office.
Corprew described the moment he received the call as shocking, expressing disbelief about how a ring could be rediscovered after so many years among acres of Christmas trees.
Fifteen years after losing his ring, Corprew was contacted by the new owners of the farm, who found his ring while planting corn and referred to the sticky notes.
Corprew cut down an 8-foot tall Christmas tree at Joe's Trees in December 2010, where he inadvertently lost his wedding band during the tree removal process.
