It was a very shinny washer, very shinny indeed, and it had some odd wear patterns on it. As I looked at it further, and then took it out into the light, I realized I was holding a wedding ring, a thin white gold band, with a lifetime of wear.A wedding ring is a powerful symbol, and I wondered how a woman's wedding ring got into a box of junk bought at auction.Trying to trace it's owner was , I was told, impossible and that it could have been in that box for over 10 years.
