Albert and his girl friend were finishing eating some fast food and as they were heading back to their hotel for the night Albert decided to throw a small piece of trash out of the sun roof and as he let fly the trash object he felt his heavy gold and diamond ring fly off of his finger as well and a slight click was heard. Immediately he pulled his truck to the side of the road and they began scanning the grass and roadside with the lights on their phones! It was 2:30am and after an hour or so of desperate searching they became very frustrated and upset…especially Albert because this was a very special and expensive ring. They called me the next day and I met them at the location and I searched high and low but could not locate his lost ring. I asked Albert if he had searched inside his truck and he assured me that he had. After an hour and a half I mentioned again that there was a good possibility that his ring could have fallen inside his truck somewhere. Albert had searched the inside but only quickly the night before and so another search was done in the daylight and to his great surprise there it was tucked down in a corner safe and sound! Albert was thrilled and so happy to have his lost ring back once again and was all smiles!
How can I help you?

Sentimental Gold Ring Lost in Snow – Recovered in Coon Rapids, Minnesota

  • from Chisago City (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:
I received a call from a gentleman in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, who had lost two precious rings three days earlier. We all know that heart-sinking feeling when something near and dear to us goes missing—or we’ve seen it happen to someone we care about. He managed to recover one ring fairly quickly, but the second one remained elusive. He’d already put in over six hours searching through the snow without success. Frustrated, he even purchased a metal detector from Harbor Freight, only to find it added to his challenges rather than solving them. Many people who lose a ring rush to buy, rent, or borrow a metal detector, assuming they’ll just turn it on and it will beep right over their lost item. While that can happen, more often newcomers are overwhelmed by the constant signals from metal debris in the ground. Anywhere people frequently pass—sidewalks, yards, parks—you’ll encounter pull tabs, foil, nails, and cans. All of that beeps! The real skill in metal detecting lies in experience: interpreting tones, distinguishing trash from treasure, and pushing through the learning curve. As I often tell people, “If you wouldn’t bend over to pick up a penny you spot on the sidewalk, metal detecting might not be for you.” Digging a penny from 3-4 inches deep trains you to recognize those subtle differences—iron grunts differently from a gold ring, which can sound similar to a pull tab. When you’ve just lost a sentimental item, that’s not the ideal time to learn a new detector. That’s when calling an experienced detectorist makes all the difference. In this case, as I entered the search area he’d been working, the very first strong, repeatable tone I got was just inches from where he’d been focusing. The signal was clean and promising—I suspected it was the ring, though you never know until you dig (it could have been junk like part of a muffler). I pinpointed it, gently raked through the crusted snow with a small hand tool, moved about an inch and a half of snow, and there it was: the beautiful gold sheen of his sentimental ring. The recovery took less than two minutes from start to finish. Not every search is this quick—many require hours of patient gridding and digging trash targets. But after enough hunts, you earn those occasional “easy” wins. They’re the ones you appreciate most, because you know the next call might demand far more effort. I was thrilled to return this very meaningful ring to its owner and see the relief on his face.

Jessica called a bit upset because she had just lost her custom made diamond halo ring in her yard only 30 minutes before, and was not able to find it. I tried to see if it was possible to help over the phone, and she tried , but still was unable to find it. It was already dark, and because it was her yard I knew it wasn’t going anywhere, so we arranged to have me come and do a search the next day.

As I was driving up to her house, I did not realize how steep the properties were, so I began to really think about how I was going to do the search. I found the house, and Jessica took me to the back yard where she explained that she was removing the cover from one of her patio chairs, when with the flick of her finger the ring came off in the dark. She heard it ping on the brick deck, and it was gone. I did a visual check of the deck, and there were very few places the ring could have went. Then I looked over the deck railing, and there was about a 20 foot drop with one foot terraces at 3 foot intervals with different types of plants growing. I could see where Jessica had been looking on the first terrace  because the tall decorative grass was flattened from her walking on it. Because the grass was so thick I made sure to search it diligently, but no ring. I then moved to the second terrace, and within a couple of minutes found her very pretty ring. I held it up for her which made her very happy. She then told me it was also her birthday, which made this recovery very special.

Meaghan contacted me wanting help in finding her daughter’s lost ring. Her daughter was playing with some friends in the grass of their yard when while making a spin, her ring flew off of her finger, and was lost in the thick grass. We arranged to meet, and I arrived at the time set.

When I arrived Meaghan met me at her gate, and took me to the back yard of her house. She showed me where the girls were playing when the loss occurred, and explained how they had searched extensively for the ring, but with no luck. I turned on my detector to begin the search, and she went in to the house telling me to let her know if I find the ring. I began my search, and after about 3 passes in the small area, I found the small ring. I went to the door, and let her know, to which she replied, “It hasn’t even been 5 minutes.” She was very happy to have it back, and it was nice to have another successful recovery.

SD card lost after drone crash.

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I got a call to look for an SD card from a drone that crashed into a tree in a farm field. Before going out I tested an SD card adapter and micro SD card with my detector to see what number I would be looking for. At first I wasn’t getting anything on my equinox 800, but I turned on the iron audio and was getting a bouncing signal from 3-5. When I arrived to the search area the gentleman that owned the property took me to a wooded area in the middle of the field. There were parts of the drone hanging from two different trees, so I checked directly under the one and found a few pieces of the drone. I seen that the other piece was higher and figured that is got to be where it hit first. The gentleman with me also said that is the most likely area where the drones owner said it should be. I went right to the area and began searching. I got a faint signal and looked in front of my coil and saw part of the adapter sticking out of the snow. The drone operator put me in the right place for sure.

Hoboken NJ, Wedding Ring Lost In The Snow, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Nicole sent me a text early in the morning explaining that she had lost a cherished family heirloom ring and hadn’t been able to find it. Understanding how important it was to her, I asked her to call me in about five minutes so we could discuss the details more easily over the phone.

She explained that a few days earlier, they’d had an early season snowstorm, and once the snow stopped, she and her family decided to take their dog for a walk at the local park. During the outing, somewhere along the way, the ring slipped off her finger. Nicole was heartbroken and desperate to find it, as it held significant sentimental value.

Nicole explained that the night the ring was lost, her family had been playing in the snow at the park. The dog was running around, and they were throwing snowballs. At one point, a snowball landed in her pocket, where her cell phone was. She reached in to grab the phone, pulling out a handful of snow in the process. Everything was wet, so she removed her glove to shake her hand dry, and that’s likely when the ring slipped.

When I arrived at the park, Nicole came down to meet me and walked me to the exact spot where she thought the ring had come off. She showed me her movements that night, explaining how she shook her hand, leading me to suspect the ring might have fallen to her right. I began searching a large area—10 feet in front, 10 feet behind, and about 25 to 30 feet to the sides of where she had stood—but I found nothing.

As time went on, I began to wonder if someone might have picked up the ring and not reported it. Nicole’s expression revealed her growing worry, and it was clear she was starting to lose hope. I asked her to go over the details one more time and show me the exact spot once again. This time, I caught onto something new: the possibility that the ring may have stayed inside her glove.

With this in mind, I focused on the opposite side of where we’d been searching and made two additional paths in the snow, similar to my earlier search area. And there it was—her beautiful family heirloom ring, just an inch beneath the snow.

Nicole was overwhelmed with relief and joy. She had nearly given up hope, but this moment proved that persistence and attention to detail make all the difference. Every small clue matters when it comes to recovering something so precious.

Maria called me and asked if I could possibly help them find a lost diamond engagement ring that was thrown into a yard by their house. At first she mentioned that her son threw it but I later found out that her husband was the one who tossed it during an argument while they were out for a family stroll. He immediately realized the error of his actions and tried to locate his wife’s lost ring and even rented a metal detector…but in the end he was very frustrated with all the noise and sounds and his lack of knowledge in knowing how to use such a machine. I agreed to meet Maria and her husband the next day and after showing me the area it only took 10 minutes to uncover her lost ring. They were so so thankful and I had a lump in my throat as Maria gave me a big hug and beamed a smile that melted my heart. Thank you Maria for calling me and allowing me to be a blessing and encouragement to you and your husband! It truly was an honor and I thank God again for leading me to those He wants me to help along life’s way!

Engagement Ring Lost in Cheektowaga NY Found in the Snow Covered Tennis Court

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Alex contacted us after running out of options trying to find his wife’s lost engagement ring. To make things more interesting she had actually lost two rings. Alex was lucky enough to recover the wedding ring himself but the engagement ring was still missing and that one was not going to be easy to replace.

The rings were lost the evening before during a walk with the dogs that somehow turned into a game of fetch inside a snow covered tennis court. Because apparently tennis courts do not take the winter off they just change sports.

Between the dogs running full speed snow flying and a lot of movement the engagement ring quietly slipped off and disappeared into the snow. It was not until later that night that the missing ring was noticed and the panic set in.

I showed up the next day and was able to locate the engagement ring quickly before it decided to spend any more time chilling in its snowy hiding spot. The ring was returned to a very relieved and happy couple.

Another successful recovery a great story to tell and a friendly reminder that winter tennis and jewelry do not mix.

Lost ring Nyack New York found in the snow!!!

  • from Nyack (New York, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Emely on Monday December 15th. She had lost her tungsten ring cleaning off her car after a snowstorm on Sunday the 14th. I couldn’t get there until Tuesday the 16th and I wasn’t feeling hopeful knowing the parking lot has been plowed after she lost the ring. She took me to the spot she had been parked at and even knew which side of the car she was on when the ring fell off. Amazingly, two minutes after firing up the Manticore I got a good signal in the snow pile where she had parked. There frozen in a chunk of ice buried in the snowplow pile was her ring! Made her day and mine!
