Late last night I got an SOS call from a fellow who had lost his wedding band the night before at the start of a heavy snowstorm. I could tell he was very upset and I told him I could meet him early this morning.
He had stopped at a electric vehicle charging station and plugged in his car for a little while and thought that he had heard something, but didn’t pay much attention to it. Later he realized his ring wasn’t on his finger. That’s when he knew what that noise was that he had heard.
I drove to his beautiful town, nestled in the snowy mountains at the junction of at least three gap roads. I met him and his daughter at the charging station, he parked his car in the same spot and described how he had lost it. We got the metal detectors ready and I said why don’t we do the parking lot first even though it had been plowed. As soon as we started the search, he let out a little shriek. Pressed into the ice at his feet he saw his ring!! The ice had protected his ring from the plow. 
Miracles happen! The snowplow had been back again and plowed the snowbanks even higher. He was gonna give up until spring, but then he saw my ad. When I saw the snowbanks, I thought for sure this was going to require a return search in the Spring. What a nice ending to the search and he’s going to get his ring resized for the cold weather!
