Farmer reunited with dead wife’s wedding ring 60 years after it slipped from her finger
The couple were married for 58 years.
Cecil agreed to let brothers Stephen and Shane Pattison search his land in Thirsk, North Yorks., for coins dating back hundreds of years.Stephen, 47, who runs his own cleaning business, said: "At first I thought it was a gold bottle cap.I never thought I'd see it ever again so to get it back is absolutely marvellous. If only she was here to see it."I got it home and checked the markings. It was 22 carat and the hallmark showed it was made by Steele and Dolphin in 1956.
"I knew it was a woman's wedding ring because fellas didn't wear them back in the day. I wondered if Cecil might be able to shed some light on it.Beaming Shane, 53, said: "It was an emotional moment."To find something that has a story behind it and be in a position to return it to its rightful owner made it all that bit more special."Credit: Glen Minikin
