A Diamond
Reddit user lexigoober had heard of the saying “a diamond in the rough patch.” They just never imagined that it would ever apply to them, or rather their grandfather, who found a shiny jewel that was worth thousands.
“My grandfather use to work for the city garage and would repair alot of the trucks, including the garbage truck. He once found a jewelry box that had cheap jewelry in it but he noticed there was a lose stone that looked like a diamond so he kept it. 20 years later he finally took it to a jewelry store to see if it was real. It was and it was worth 3,000 dollars so he made it into a new wedding ring for my gram.”
