I got a thrift store bargain but the hidden gem was even better – now I’m trying to track down the owner
A TRIP to the thrift store has turned into a mystery after a savvy shopper got a shocking surprise.
She might have been looking for a bargain – but she got more than she bargained for.
“This is really exciting,” Regan Michelle (@bubblegumknees) told of the hidden treasure she was about to reveal.
“I went thrift store shopping this weekend. I picked up this jewelry box and as far as I knew it was empty,” the actor and artist said of her unassuming find.
She shook what she presumed to be a regular box – but her buy had more in store.
A distinct noise signaled that there was indeed something inside.
Regan attempted to get to the bottom of the thrift store mystery.
The Canadian – and self-proclaimed witch – removed the empty ring holder to see what was hiding underneath.
The secret soon appeared – a gold ring.
“Oh my God,” the thrilled shopper exclaimed of the unexpected discovery.
Finding the piece of jewelry wasn’t the end of the story either – the surprise sparked Regan to go on a quest to track down the original owner.
“Omg, it would be cool to try and find out who it belonged to,” an intrigued follower posed to the new owner of the ring.
“It’s definitely crossed my mind a few times, I feel weird wearing it,” the thrifty finder agreed about going on a hunt for the prized treasure’s true possessor.
Another watcher could relate to Regan’s find: “I bought a bunch of old jewelry boxes once for two bucks and one of them had a gold necklace inside!”
“Such an amazing find!” the artist exclaimed, mirroring her own excitement at her ring buy.
