"I think my adrenaline was so high and I was just so excited," Marckres told NECN ... "I didn’t realize I had lost it."

Which means he also didn't see where it landed!

Turns out, Joe Marszalkowski -- a local soybean farmer -- noticed something out of the ordinary in his field on Sunday ... THE LEG!!

"You've always got to keep an eye out," Marszalkowsk said ... "It was literally a needle in a haystack as far as trying to find it."

Marszalkowski soon learned Marckres was on the hunt for the leg -- and eventually made contact with him so he could return it.

Marckres had offered a reward for the leg -- but Marszalkowski refused.

"I can’t thank everybody enough, especially Joe," Marckres said.

"We kind of take for granted sometimes how many truly good people there still are in the world."
