An Edinburgh woman who lost her “irreplaceable” engagement ring on an East Lothain beach has been left over the moon when a helpful stranger tracked it down with a metal detector and returned it in a dog poo bag.
38-year-old Angie Shipp was heartbroken when she realised her blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring, which was previously her late mother-in-laws- slipped off while enjoying their day out at Yellowcraig Beach in East Lothian. Angie was out with her husband Paul, 37, and their two children Evelyn and Isobel on Father’s Day this June.
According to the Daily Record, the treasured heirloom had been given by Angie’s father-in-law, Des Shipp, to his wife-to-be, Sue, when they got engaged in 1973. Des passed on the ring to Paul when Sue died from Pancreatic cancer in 2010.
