Upon returning home to assess the damage, they discovered something unexpected in their backyard.

As Laura stepped outside with her dog, she noticed a glint in the soil. “I looked down and saw a silver ring and thought it was like a key ring,” she recalled. However, it wasn’t just any ring; it was her husband’s wedding ring, lost nearly a decade ago during a construction project.

“We had a construction project about nine years ago, and it just disappeared,” Laura explained. Despite searching their yard countless times over the years and having a landscaper visit weekly, the ring had never resurfaced—until now.

Laura believes that the heavy rains from the hurricane helped unearth this significant emblem of their marriage.
