This is probably as mundane and pointless as it gets but anyway here goes. I found my wedding rings. Actually its one ring. After the wedding we had the engagement ring fused to the wedding band but I digress.
The ring itself is white gold with a 1 karot green sapphire in a sort of sticky-out setting with prongs. This means it can kind of catch on things. Anyway I can’t wear it to bed or it would catch on the blankets or something like that. Last time I saw it was probably while I was still at the post office. So maybe 4 years ago. I couldn’t wear it in gloves or the prongs got bent, so I couldn’t wear it to work delivering mail in the winter. Anyway, it was a couple of days before I noticed it missing, and in the mean time the house was cleaned and I thought my husband had vacumed it up.
We were starting to talk about replacing it, but it was going to be hard. The color and cut on the sapphire were absolutely perfect. I would maybe not go so high off my finger again with it but asside from that I loved the ring. Then again a wedding ring is almost pure sentiment and how do you replace that?
I have looked for it off and on ever since. Down under the bed. At the edges of the carpet behind my computer. Under my bedside table. Sort of everywhere I could think of. Yesterday it turned up. It turned up in the drawer of my computer table. I know I have been in that drawer 9000 times in the last 4 years. I guess the poltergueists were done with it. I am so happy.
I found my rings.
I don’t think that’s mundane or pointless at all. Wedding rings have huge sentimental value and I can only imagine your joy at finding them. I haven’t even gotten married yet but I do have our rings (we were supposed to get married a few years ago). At one point, I thought they lost and I started crying. And these were only simple 10k gold bands. I did find them though - right where I left them 
I’ve never seen a green saphire before. It must be beautiful.
Now, if you want truly mundane and pointless…I paid someone $100 to do my laundry today 
I’m glad you found it; it sounds beautiful.
A couple years ago, the whole gang was home for Christmas. Home, in this case, was northern CA and it was whale-watching time, so off we went to the coast. After an hour or so of standing in the windy cold ocean spray without seeing any whales, we decided to wimp out and go home. It was a long ride back, so we figured we’d better use what passed for the facilities before we left. My stepdad had lost weight recently – not a lot, but enough, apparently, to allow his wedding ring to slip off his finger and fall right into the outhouse pit.
:smack:
He and Mom were pretty upset about it, but there was no way of getting it back, short of some really nasty scuba-diving. They bought a replacement a few weeks later.
A couple of years ago I was re-potting some large house plants. When I had finished I noticed my wedding ring was missing. So it must have ended up in one of six flower pots. Luckily I had one of those devices for finding metal and electric wires in walls. A quick scan of the pots and I was rewarded with a welcome bleep from the third pot. So a little excavation and I recovered the ring.
