Lost Gold Ring in the Snow Found in Wyandotte Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

As the Midnite Ice…

lay hiding beneath the snowdrifts, Jenny and her friend Lance had no idea about what was going to happen as they ran thru the park after enjoying some refreshments at a local business. As each of them formed snowballs, Jenny threw first and while doing so slipped on that hidden ice and fell into a snowdrift. As Lance pulled her up, by time they got to the car, she noticed her ring missing. The ring is a family heirloom from her grandmother. Being past midnite, they called me when it was daylight and we agreed to meet. I fired up my icebreaker MXT metal detector and started a grid search from where Jenny started to run and where she fell down. It wasn’t long before the MXT signaled on a non-ferrous metal item thru the snow. Brushing the snow away with my pin pointer metal detector and a few inches into the snowdrift revealed Jenny’s ring! Handing the ring to Jenny produced smiles on both their faces that would have melted that ice had they stayed longer, but they didn’t! Now Jenny’s glad she’s not on slippery ground anymore…or on thin ice with her grandmother!

Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring Lost in the Snow Found With a Metal Detector in Nolensville, TN

  • from Nashville (Tennessee, United States)

 

<

I received a frantic call from Kyley during a snow storm in Middle Tennessee. She explained that she was removing her gloves in the front yard when her engagement ring flew off of her finger and landed in the snow. What made this ring extra sentimental was the fact that her fiancé had it custom made for her in the Virgin Islands before they traveled there a few months ago, which is where her fiancé proposed to her. Kyley had access to a pinpointer metal detector and tried unsuccessfully to find her ring, while the snow continued falling, further burying her ring deeper in the snow. She was smart and covered the area where she suspected the ring was with a thick blanket. She and her fiancé went to the local department store to look for a full-size metal detector, but in the meantime found my contact info on TheRingFinders website. Fortunately I have a very capable 4X4 to make the 30 minute drive on the snow covered roads to Kyley’s house. Indeed Kyley’s gorgeous engagement ring was found hidden under the snow, covered with the blanket that she placed over it. Kyley cried tears of joy and gave me a big hug. When she put the ring on her finger, she said, “Back where you belong.” Recovering lost treasures for nice people like Kyley never gets old.

LOST KEY FOB IN KALEVA, MICHIGAN

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Got a call from Melissa H. yesterday, (Jan 22, 26), she lost her key fob to her car, in the snow. Melissa lost her husband 6 months ago and is now on her own and is still getting her bearings on this new life style. Yesterday while walking out to her car with her purse in one hand and packages in the other it dropped out of her hand. She didn’t miss it until she got to the car. After a heavy snowfall on top of the snow that was already there she searched and couldn’t find it. She went back to her porch and shoveled the snow to the edge and it wasn’t there. She continued to shovel around the foot of the porch and around the car with no luck.

When I got to her home the next day I was concerned that so much snow had been moved around. I got my detector and searched the porch, steps, area around the car and snow piles in the area with no results. I then searched the snow that she shoveled off the porch and found it several inches under the shoveled snow. Prior to loosing the key fob she had fallen and the loss of her key fob added to her misery that day. She is mobile again and only wanted to return a book to the Library but her snowplow driver encouraged her not to venture out for the next few days in the sub-zero weather. She is happy now with her recovered key fob and can stay warm in her house finishing a complicated puzzle.

One-of-a-kind wedding ring lost in snow & found! Cudahy, Wisconsin

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)

Cudahy, Wisconsin resident, Chris Roberts was closing a metal gate behind his home when his one-of-a-kind wedding ring got caught on it. Married four years, he was horrified to feel the white and black diamond ring leave his finger and disappear into the cold, snowy night. Despite careful search efforts with a leaf rake in the snow, the ring’s hiding place remained a secret. The next morning Chris reached out to me with a text message asking if I might help. We arranged to meet on location late that afternoon.

It was dark when I arrived. I donned a headlamp and followed Chris to the back of his house. I could see the telltale signs of raking in the snow, evidence of Chris’s valiant search efforts. The thermometer was falling fast, hovering in the mid-teens Fahrenheit (-9.4 Celsius). And a brisk wind made it feel much colder.

Sweeping the area with a mid-sized coil revealed the presence of many metallic objects in the ground beneath the snow. Most of them were ferrous (iron) signals that could be ignored. Also, a heavy wire-mesh fence screamed its presence in my headset whenever I was close to it. I quickly eliminated the more obvious signals and zeroed in on a non-ferrous target near the metal gate. As I probed the area with my pin pointer, a small lump of ice invited investigation. Breaking it apart in my gloved hand, Chris’ precious ring appeared among the icy crystals! And the smile on his face tells the rest of the story.

Chris’ ring was the 9th one I’ve extracted from the snow this winter season. In the process, I’ve observed a strange phenomenon. All but one was encrusted in an icy lump, the result of a warm ring melting the snow on first contact, then cooling and finally freezing the ice and snow around it, forming an icy tomb. Encrusted in this way can make the ring invisible to the naked eye. Little wonder Chris and others have been unable to find their rings! Apart from using a metal detector, the ring’s hiding place would have to wait until warmer days when the snow and ice have melted away. But by then, the ring may have been shoveled off or plowed away to another location. This is why time is of the essence when a ring becomes lost in snowy conditions.

If you or someone you know has lost a ring, don’t let its story end. Whether recent or long ago, in the snow, leaves, grass, sand, lake or river, call a member of The Ring Finders in your area. Chances are, like Chris, we can put a smile on your face again.

Ring Found In Backyard, Portland, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)

It was a busy day on Sunday. At noon the ring at Grand Valley State was found and then at around 4PM we found this ring. Tommy called me and said his fiancee had let the dogs out the backdoor and was playing with them when her ring came up missing. On arriving Tommy took me to the backyard and I observed an area about 10ft square where they had been searching for the ring. There was about 2 inches of snow on the grass. Kiana was at work so she was not available to add her input into her actions. I made 2 passes with the detector and found out the amount of trash targets were overwhelming with all the chatter. Being the coldest day of the year I told Tommy he better go inside and stay warm because this was going to take me some time to sort out all the trash. Shortly after he went inside I got the signal I was looking for. About a foot from the concrete pad to the back door I got that strong gold tone and there was the ring. I told Tommy to send me a picture of Kiana when she got home. I suggested he surprise her with the glass of wine with the ring in it trick when she got home. 2 more entries to my book of smiles, what a fun day!

Ring Found At Grand Valley State College, Allendale, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Sydney sent me a text this morning saying she lost her oura ring last night while sledding down a hill on campus after midnight. They went out there this morning searching for the ring again but came up empty. I met her and her friends at the site and she said the oura app showed the ring on the hillside this morning. While searching she brings up the app again and it says her ring should be in the area she is standing. I start to move toward her and she looks down and sees her ring laying upright in the snow. Sometimes you just get lucky! That is one happy trio!!
