Lost wedding ring is found at Cruit - thanks to a metal detector and St Anthony!
Three days without his wedding ring that was lost at Cruit Island, Adam Swann and his family said a prayer to St Anthony and got a lend of a metal detector as they gave it one last go ...
Holidaymakers who launched an appeal having lost his wedding ring in west Donegal has managed to locate it and the family expressed their gratitude to all who assisted.
Adam Swann from Liverpool, his wife Erin and children Aoife and Soairse were on a break in Crolly, with his aunt and uncle Paddi and Kevin Anderson, and grandmother Granny Rosie Anderson joining them from Derry.
"If out on the beach over the weekend please keep your eyes peeled as I'm sure you can imagine that loss of something so special is upsetting."
However, it all ended well, as within three days they managed to locate the missing wedding ring - thanks to a metal detector from a friend and, of course, a little help from above.
“We posted about the missing ring on the Cruit Community Facebook,” Paddi told DonegalLive. “And we did learn that in between the three days that the ring was lost, some of the locals did that a detector to the beach looking for it. So we would like to thank them.
“When we found the ring and wrote thanks to St Anthony on the sand, and to Gerald. Gerald From Derry, was the friend who lined us the metal detector.”
