Man finds couple's ring after years and meets couple by chance

Een getrouwd stel uit Beverwijk heeft na acht jaar een verloren trouwring teruggekregen. Het sieraad was uit de grond gehaald door een man met een metaaldetector, met wie het echtpaar bij toeval in gesprek raakte.

On Wednesday, Bertie and Johan Provenzano were walking around their neighborhood in Beverwijk. They got talking to Richard de Bree, who also had his metal detector with him at the time.

Johan told him that eight years ago he had lost his wedding ring in a neighborhood playground. Richard in turn said he had found a gold ring just two weeks ago. It turned out to be Bertie and Johan's ring. The ring bore the couple's wedding date and the name "Bertie.

"When we found it, we thought 'nice, a gold ring.' Of course, we had no idea we would run into the owners," says Richard, who has since returned the ring to Johan.

"I thought that can't be true after eight years, can it?" says Bertie. "But it really is," Johan adds. "I'll never forget something like that in my life."
