Joe became interested in metal detecting when his parents gave him a metal detector as a child. He often went out ______ after storms. Over the years, he has found watches, Spanish relics, and even an eight-foot-tall ship anchor (锚).

One day, Joe’s metal detector ______ something was buried under the sand when he was scanning St. Augustine Beach ______ by Hurricane lan in late September 2022. He began digging, expecting he might ______ some coins or something of similar value.

But what he found was worth far more than a few cents! He ______ a beautiful, huge diamond ring which was about six inches under the ground. However, even though Joe knew it was a special ______, he initially had no idea how much the ring was worth until he visited a jewelry store to ______ it. When he learned that the ring he’d unearthed was worth $40,000, Joe wasted no time trying to ______ the rightful owner!

First, he made a(n) ______ on his social media channels, hoping the owner would see it. He then called and emailed jewelry stores all over Florida and beyond, sending photographs and a(n) ______ of the ring. And, when a jeweler asked him if he’d considered keeping the prize for himself, Joe ______ said, “not even for a minute.”

A couple of weeks passed, and Joe wondered if he’d ever get the ring returned home. Ultimately, he was ______ by a man who might be the owner. After ______ through photos that the diamond ring was indeed the one his wife had lost, he was ______ happy. His wife just said, “Oh my God, I can’t believe it,” and then started crying.
