dailyrecord.co.uk:

A woman who lost her 'irreplaceable' engagement ring on a Scottish beach was over the moon when a stranger tracked it down using a metal detector and returned it in a dog poo bag.

Angie Shipp, 38, was heartbroken when her blue sapphire and diamond engagement ring - which belonged to her late mother-in-law - slipped off while she was enjoying a day out at Yellowcraig Beach, East Lothian.

Angie was out with her husband Paul, 37, and their children Evelyn, three, and four-month-old Isobel, on Father's Day in June this year.The treasured family heirloom had been given by Angie's father-in-law, Des Shipp, 71, to his wife-to-be, Sue, 58, when the pair got engaged in 1973.

Des passed on the ring to Paul when Sue died from pancreatic cancer in 2010. When the ring went missing, Angie discovered the National Ring Recovery Service and posted a message on the charity's Facebook group requesting help in finding it.
