Niall tells His story below....

"We Started dating on 3rd July 2016,  Rachael had previously mentioned that she wanted to go metal detecting with Me one day so I suggested she came along to one of my permissions"
"I buried the engagement ring the night before along with a couple of pound coins to really set the machine off I chose to bury it against a old apple tree in a large orchard where i earlier carved our initials R & N into the tree"

"We set off on a beautiful sunny day, I lead Rachael to the area and we turned the machine on, after a couple of minutes she found her first coin a modern 10p! I could not hold out much longer so directed her towards our tree, Rachael started detecting and within seconds the machine started ringing so I passed her the spade and she started to dig... She turned over clod and was happy enough to find a £2 coin! Rachael dug further and found a bag which i advised her to look inside... She started opening out the newspaper that I had wrapped the ring box inside as she undone it She noticed a silver bow as she turned to her left I was waiting on one knee ready to propose"
