Treasure hunt for €2,271 ring

A NEW ZEALAND man, spurned by the woman of his dreams, has come up with a novel way of disposing of the diamond engagement ring he bought her – a treasure hunt.

Anyone keen to pick up the ring, valued at NZ$5,000 (€2,271), will need to be in Wellington on Saturday to join the hunt, the Dominion Post newspaper reported.

“I met this girl I thought was pretty cool, bought a ring, turns out she wasn’t as keen,” Anthony Gardiner, a call-centre employee.
