WHITE TOWNSHIP, N.J.—A Christmas tree farmer has found and returned a wedding ring that slipped off a New Jersey man’s finger roughly 15 years ago.
David Penner lost the ring during a visit with his wife to Wyckoff’s Tree Farm in White Township. He returned and searched, but the ring was nowhere to be found.
“I thought it was a miracle,” Penner said of the farmer’s find.
John Wyckoff, a third-generation tree farmer, told NJ.com he was riding on the back of a tractor sticking trees in the ground in April when he spotted something shiny in the soil. He sifted the dirt and found the wedding band. An NJ.com report on the discovery last week spurred a call from Penner’s sister-in-law, who connected the two men.
