DOYLESTOWN, Pa.-
When Mark Axler realized he had lost his wedding ring on a visit to a farm with his family in October, he said he feared chances of recovering the gold band inscribed with his name and wedding date were like “finding a needle in a haystack.”
Pictures his sister-in-law, Marie Axler, of Doylestown, had taken showed the ring on his finger during a hayride at the Merrymead Farm in Worcester. But she called the farm and workers had not found a ring. Then it turned up last week as workers emptied the hayride wagons for the season, farm co-owner Scott Rothenberger said.
Marie Axler got a call from the farm, and she and Axler’s wife, Nancy, surprised Axler with the ring at his daughter’s fourth birthday party last weekend. “I couldn’t believe it was found at all. The odds were clearly against me,” Axler said.
