A carelessly discarded wedding ring was found among 20 tons of trash at a New Hampshire transfer station, making it the third ring in two years recovered at the same location.
The lucky find came after a frantic woman called the Windham transfer station last Wednesday to alert them that her wedding ring may have been thrown away, according to reports.
The woman told workers when her husband left trash at the station, the type of car he drove and the type of trash in the bags, General Services Director Dennis Senibaldi told WHDH.

Transfer station staff then got to work with the help of surveillance cameras.
“We were able to track when he was here, exactly what time he dumped the trash and where the trash was located in the trailer,” Senibaldi told the outlet.
The trash they were looking for was “literally the first scoop from the trailer,” he said.

“That’s 12 feet from the top of the trailer where we had to dig to find his bag,” he told the station, estimating there was 20 tons of trash in the entire trailer.
The ring was found partially covered in red paint and on the ground after it fell out of its trash bag, WMUR reported.
“I grabbed the ring, took it out, cleaned it and called her,” Senibaldi told the station. “She was heartbroken on Wednesday and beyond elated on Friday.”

It is the third time in two years that a wedding ring was lost in the trash before Senibaldi and his team dug it up; the last time it happened almost exactly a year ago.
He described searching for the ring as being similar to searching for a specific leaf in a pile of leaves “because everything looks the same.”
And while hard work and an eagle eye helped this time, time also played a role.

“It was the last trailer that came out. So they missed it by about 15 minutes,” Senibaldi told WMUR.
“If it had been 15 minutes earlier, I would have already gone to the incinerator.”
