Found wedding ring lost in snow! – Glendale, Wisconsin.

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)

A late November snowstorm gave Glendale, Wisconsin resident, Bob Goding, the opportunity to enjoy quality time with his grandchildren. The snow was just the right consistency for building a snowman. But in the process, Bob’s gold wedding ring went missing, most likely when he shook snow out of his glove. He contacted me a couple days later and we arranged to conduct a metal-detecting search for his ring on December 2nd.

On arrival, all that remained of poor Mr. Snowman, was a scattering of lumps. Bob and his wife had discretely dissected him (after the grandchildren had gone home), this in case the ring had become encased inside the jolly figure. Sadly, Bob’s ring remained at large. And Mr. Snowman’s lumpy remains only added insult to injury.

I embarked on a grid search in the front lawn where the snowman had been created. Boot prints of all sizes bore evidence happier times. As I expanded the search area, a signal in my headset invited attention. The conductivity numbers were in the range of a man’s gold ring. Indeed, the target turned out to be Bob’s missing, but now found, wedding ring! And the smile on Bob’s face tells the rest of the story.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring in the snow, grass, leaves, sand, underwater, or elsewhere, chances are it’s still there. Don’t let its story end. Call today! We’d love to add your smile to our growing list of happy clients.

    Imagine having something you have worn 7 days a week, 24 hours a day for 43 years suddenly disappear! That is what happened with my wedding ring in the snow. I was extremely upset and thought it was gone forever. Enter the hero to the story. I contacted Paul and he came out the very next day. I watched him meticulously scan the area where I thought it might be – nothing. I then pointed out an area that I thought was a long shot, but possible. Once again he meticulously started to scan this new area. As he got to the end of the area my heart was sinking as I was beginning to think he wouldn’t find it. Suddenly he stopped and scanned deeper and deeper into the snow. He reaches down, pulls something out of the snow, walks back to me and handed me my ring. I will be forever grateful to Paul and his magic.
