That is awesome...I am also jealous of your wife...prior to going into CS, I was 3 years into an anthro degree specializing in north and south American pre-history. When I married my first wife and she became pregnant with our daughter, I figured that it would be best to go into a field that would make money. You don't know of too many anthropologists/archaeologists that are rich that were not rich before they entered the field. *grin* CS is one of my loves, so I can't complain. Anthropology/Archaeology, CS, and medicine are my passions.

I arranged with her work to go to the dig site the night before and bury the ring in an antique silver box I bought. I showed up to the dig site early that morning and parked across the road with a pair of binocs. We had organised which square (1m x 1m area) she would be digging in. I snuck onto the site was she was digging and when she unearthed the box and opened it I came into view and took to one knee. It went off without a hitch and left us with a wicked story. The only hard part was sleeping the night before knowing the ring was buried in an archaeological site with no one protecting it.
