Kevin Butler, who accidentally threw away his wife's diamond rings in the USA, achieved a miracle.
"It was like looking for a needle in a haystack," said the 'lucky' husband who rummaged through the garbage transfer station and found the rings among 20 tons of garbage.
Cindy Butler, who lives in the US state of New Hampshire, cleaned her engagement ring and wedding ring on November 23, wrapped them in a napkin to dry, and left them on the kitchen counter. When Cindy began searching for her rings soon after, her husband, Kevin, said that he threw the napkins in the trash and took the trash to the transfer station. Guessing that the jewelry might be in the trash, Kevin quickly made his way to the garbage transfer station. Dennis Senibaldi, one of the station managers, came to the rescue of Butler, who was wondering how to find his ring among the piles of garbage bags at the station, which had its busiest time just before Thanksgiving. After examining the security camera footage, it was determined where Butler threw the garbage bag. The vehicle that would take the bag in question to the incinerator was also caught close by.
WHITE WASTE BAG SEARCHED
So the two of them set out to search for the gray-handled white garbage bag Butler had left. Meanwhile, other workers there began to search for the ring among the 20 tons of garbage in the vehicle. Finally, Senibaldi found the rings in the bottom of the garbage bag, which also contained a celery stalk. While Butler said, "It was like looking for a needle in a haystack," Senibaldi said that Butler looked "a little crazy" when he first arrived, adding, "I could clearly see in his eyes that he was stressed. "The rings should have meant a lot to him and his wife," he said. Manager Senibaldi stated that similar incidents had occurred before.
