It took a village — of beachcombers with metal detectors — to reunite a California man with the wedding band he lost.

Paul Svoboda reached out, without success, to a group called the Ring Finders when he lost his diamond-dotted palladium ring at Doheny State Beach in August.

But when a member of a different group, the West Coast Prospectors and Treasure Hunters Association, found the ring and contacted Ring Finders, the ring and owner were reunited six months later.

A North Carolina woman dialed 911 with her toes after her car slipped off a jack and crushed her hands.

The unidentified 54-yearold woman was changing a flat tire on I-95 in South Carolina Sunday when she was injured.

It took her more than 35 minutes to slip off one shoe and call Colleton County Fire-Rescue, which transported her to a hospital.

Pennsylvania State Police came to the rescue — of three guinea pigs.

The troopers, who heard squeals from bushes during a traffic stop, took the abandoned pets to the police barracks in Lawrence Park, where the critters were turned over to an Erie, Pa., shelter and put up for adoption.

A North Carolina couple won a $768,862 lottery jackpot — just in time for their 70th anniversary.

James and Maxine Hilliker, of Lumberton, plan to spend the cash on a cruise, and have plenty left over.

They’ve been playing the lottery for more than 22 years.

What a weight off his back. David Rush, of Idaho, passed a 20-pound kettlebell from hand to hand 100 times in 14.62 seconds — breaking the Guinness World Record for “weight passing.”

He smashed the previous record of 24.62 seconds.

Rush has more than 100 Guinness World Records to his name, including several for juggling.
