Couple Discovers Buried Chest, Massive Shock After Opening Miraculous Connections
Sometimes, relationships are built on shared interests, making it easier to plan a date when you have similar tastes. However, there are countless hobbies out there, and everyone finds joy in different things, often requiring some compromise.
This was the situation for Ryan and his girlfriend Lisa. Ryan introduced Lisa to his hobby, and eventually, she found great joy in it too!
Ryan's Great Hobby
Have you ever seen someone wandering around with a metal detector and wondered what they could actually find? Ryan had a perfect answer to that because it was his biggest hobby. However, his girlfriend Lisa wasn't a big fan of it.
Despite Lisa not being initially enthusiastic about it, Ryan managed to motivate her, and she eventually agreed to join him on a metal detecting hike. For years, Ryan had been trying to awaken Lisa's adventurous spirit, as sometimes treasures can indeed be unearthed.
Ryan's Persistence
While Lisa enjoyed spending time in nature, she couldn't find any interest in Ryan's hobby. She'd much rather listen to birdsong and bask in the sun than pay attention to the constant beeping of the metal detector.
Yet, Ryan insisted. He believed he could change Lisa's mind, so he planned an extensive metal detecting expedition for both of them, determined to make sure Lisa would never forget that day.
She Was Onboard!
Although Lisa would have preferred to go for a walk or do something in civilization, she decided to do Ryan a favor and accompany him. Maybe, she hoped, he would stop insisting on taking her along if she gave in this one time.
On a chilly April morning, they bundled up and set out on their adventure. Since it was Lisa's first time, Ryan was particularly excited. He even insisted on bringing a camera to document the entire day.
Great Excitement
In the past, Lisa had accompanied Ryan on metal detecting trips, but she had never held a metal detector herself. This time was different, and Ryan's excitement soon rubbed off on his girlfriend. Lisa was thrilled to be able to make her boyfriend so happy.
The thought of actually finding something valuable became a motivation for Lisa as well. Wrapped in layers of clothing, holding the metal detector in hand, and with the camera hanging around their necks, they began their search.
Slow Progress
The day progressed slowly as they explored areas where Ryan had already searched in the past, so they didn't expect to find anything there. However, Ryan knew there were other spots worth exploring and led Lisa to one of them.
He was hoping they would stumble upon something interesting that they could unearth together. It didn't take long for the metal detector to sound off, indicating they had found something. Lisa was about to experience her exciting part in the adventure.
A Stroke of Luck
Ryan was thrilled that they had some luck and found something right away. It was exciting to dig into the ground and retrieve the metallic object. The device had beeped loudly, hinting at the presence of a significant find.
They soon pulled something small and round out of the earth. Unfortunately, it turned out to be just a jacket button. Living in West Virginia, this wasn't entirely unexpected, as such discoveries happened from time to time.

Ryan explained that the area they were exploring had been traversed by soldiers during the Civil War in the 1800s, so it was common to find artifacts scattered around the region. It wasn't anything extraordinary.
However, this was not their only find. It didn't take long before the metal detector beeped again, and this time, Ryan uncovered a coin that also seemed to date back to the 1800s. This piqued Lisa's interest as well.
Historical Artifacts
Old artifacts from wartime were undoubtedly fascinating, and Ryan was confident they would find more amazing objects. On a solo trip he had taken before, he had come across some Civil War relics.
He usually kept these items in his office since they were not rare enough to be displayed in a museum. However, today seemed to be their lucky day, and perhaps they could even sell these items by the end of the day.
Lisa Had Fun
The couple was already quite excited after the first two finds, even though the value wasn't particularly high. Lisa now had to admit that she was enjoying herself more than she initially thought.
She was impressed by how quickly they had been successful. But this was far from the climax of their day. Ryan asked Lisa if she'd be willing to go further with him, and she eagerly agreed. Her interest was growing steadily.
Another Discovery
It didn't take much time before the metal detector sounded off once more! With a smile on his face, Ryan started digging. Lisa was ecstatic because this time it was her who found the treasure.
Luckily, Ryan had the right equipment with him as this treasure was buried deeper than the previous ones. Ryan was in his element, knowing exactly how to excavate the find skillfully without damaging it.
Bigger Than Expected
Ryan realized that this object must be larger than the previous finds. The coin and the button had been small, but now they seemed to be onto something substantial. Lisa was curious about what they would uncover in this area and what else might be hidden beneath the ground.
She was amazed at how much fun she was having; it felt almost like a real treasure hunt. As a child, Lisa would have definitely enjoyed this.
Lisa as the Camera Operator
Ryan noticed a larger stone obstructing his path to the treasure. Meanwhile, Lisa had taken out the camera and began to capture the moment. Perhaps she would document an incredible find while he continued to dig.
Lisa aimed the camera at Ryan as he finally made progress. He began to speculate on what it could be, considering possibilities like Civil War armor, a weapon, or some sort of chest plate.
The Biggest Find of Their Lives
Neither Lisa nor Ryan could believe their eyes when they finally lifted the object out of the ground. It was the most significant discovery of their lives. The couple knew they had to be cautious as they unearthed a chest from the earth.
Lisa asked Ryan cautiously if it was safe to open the box, but Ryan seemed confident about it. Although Lisa had feared it might contain something dangerous, her curiosity now overpowered her fears.
What Was Inside?
They were naturally eager to know what the chest held. Lisa couldn't believe her luck and was even more astonished as they carefully tried to open the chest. They had already found a button and a coin, which was more than she had expected.
Now, she had no doubt as to why Ryan loved his hobby so much. Despite her apprehensions about dangerous objects, she now also wanted to know what lay inside the chest.
Mysterious Chest
Ryan began to unearth the chest from the damp earth. Lisa noticed immediately that there were letters inscribed on the box. She was sure that the inscription must be some kind of clue, and they would find out what was inside.
Ryan did his best to decipher the words, but it was challenging. After several attempts, he read out a passage from the Book of Proverbs, 18:22, in the Bible: "He who finds a good wife obtains favor from the Lord." Lisa couldn't believe how perfectly this verse resonated with their life together.
A Man of God
Ryan was a man of God and well-versed in the Bible. As a pastor, he had read this passage many times before. At this point, Lisa was completely baffled. She had never expected to stumble upon such a significant mystery.
With great confidence, Ryan opened the chest. As the lid came down, she saw that two names were engraved inside. Lisa was speechless as she recognized the names – Ryan and Lisa. What had they come across?
Another Surprise
Lisa was nearly hyperventilating. Now, Ryan took out the contents from the box, leaving Lisa in shock, her breath caught in her throat. Ryan then took out a much smaller box from the old chest, and slowly, Lisa realized what was happening.
Ryan had orchestrated all of this! He had known where to find the chest because he had hidden it there a few days ago. This entire outing, the whole treasure hunt, had been orchestrated to ask Lisa a big question.
The Proposal
Ryan was already kneeling on the ground, and he now asked Lisa if she would marry him. Lisa couldn't believe it; tears filled her eyes. The man she loved so much wanted to be with her forever.
Ryan took the camera from her hand to capture her response. How would she react once she found her words again? After processing the shock, Lisa looked into Ryan's eyes and asked, "Are you kidding?"
An Unbelievable Event
Finally, Lisa agreed, and Ryan had everything recorded on camera. After editing the video, he uploaded it online. It spread like wildfire across the internet – Ryan's efforts did not go unnoticed.
It was an unbelievable event that could have gone wrong in so many ways. Ryan was overjoyed that Lisa had come along, found the chest, and said yes to the proposal – everything had found a happy ending!
