[Hugh R]

On reflection once I got over the jolt of losing it, I realized that its somewhere on the property, and yes I will look into a metal detector. I talked to the jeweler who made it and yes he can cast me a new one, BUT if I find the original, I don't need two identical rings. I found a sort of nice silver and gold ring I bought 40 years ago that still fits, I'll wear that in the interim. The trophy bride is interested in buying me a new one. We'll see. Thanks everyone for your support, you made me feel not so stupid about losing it.

Happy Turkey Day!
