FLEMING ISLAND, Fla. -- A Fleming Island woman is hoping for the best after realizing the Halloween treats she gave out included her own wedding ring.

Now days later, the ring still hasn't turned up.

Diane Mitchell said she was wearing her wedding ring while she was passing out Halloween candy in Mandarin on Saturday.

Once all the candy was gone, she realized so was her ring.

Mitchell has saved lots of mementos from her wedding day in 1967.

She remembers everything about when her husband, Mike, proposed and when she first saw her diamond ring.

Now it's missing.

"Often times we had large groups come to the house, so I would take both my left hand and my right hand and just put the candy in the candy bag," Mitchell said.

She believes that's when her ring slipped off her finger and into a trick-or-treater's bucket.

"I said, 'Oh my God,'" Mitchell said. "My daughter, my husband, my son-in-law said, 'What, what?' I said, 'My ring is gone. My wedding band is gone.' We have searched her house. We've taken a magnet. She has called all her neighbors. My son-in-law has posted signs on the street. We've done everything we know to do."

Mitchell said the ring is worth about $6,000, but to her and her family it is priceless.

"If you've found my ring out there, please call Channel 4," Mitchell said. "It's very, very, very sentimental, and I've had it for 43 years and I really feel lost without it."

Mitchell said she was giving out the candy at her daughter's home in Mandarin on Dockside Drive East. She is asking anyone whose children were trick-or-treating in that area to check through their candy to make sure her ring isn't there.
