Why is it when couples fight, one of the first things they do is throw their expensive jewelry?

Got a call yesterday for a lost platinum ring. I drove the 15 minutes to the location and met a gentleman who described what happened. His girlfriend took off her ring and threw it into the ground. Then they heard a “ting”.

Well the story didn’t add up. If she threw it into the ground in the area he said, there was nothing but grass, so they shouldn’t have heard the “ting”. Several feet to the right was a large parking lot, to the left was a driveway, and straight ahead was the street.

My guess is that she didn’t throw it down, she threw it out. I searched the area anyway. I used 2 different detectors. The guy was right there with me. Every signal he was on the ground looking through the grass hoping to find the ring.

I even walked around the parking lot, the driveway & the road. No luck! He offered me some cash to cover my time but I declined.

I think she should get a platinum metal for the toss. Oh that’s right she threw the Platinum away…
