Find a ring in the snow in Dobbs Ferry New York – Two Ring Searches, One Day — and an Incredible First Find ❄️💍
Two Ring Searches, One Day — and an Incredible First Find ❄️💍
Today was a first for me: two ring searches scheduled in a single day. I had no idea how memorable the morning recovery would be — or how quickly it would unfold.
The first call brought me to Dobbs Ferry, in front of St. Cabrini’s Nursing Home, where William had been visiting his mom with his new wife the day prior. After the visit, the two of them stepped outside heading to their car and started doing what most couples do when there’s fresh snow on the ground — throwing snowballs at each other and laughing.
Somewhere in the middle of that fun, disaster struck.
William’s wife suddenly realized her platinum diamond ring was gone. The snow was deep, the ground completely covered, and panic set in fast. They were both devastated… they searched and search to no avail, but thankfully, they knew exactly who to call.
I arrived around 10:00 AM the very next morning, stepped out of my car, and began unloading my equipment. Within five minutes of starting the search — five minutes, in the snow — my detector gave the signal I was hoping for.
There it was.
The look on their faces said it all. Shock, relief, and pure disbelief. Honestly? As quiet as it’s kept… I was pretty shocked myself. In all my time detecting, I’ve never recovered a ring that fast.
It was a beautiful way to start the day — and a reminder of why I do what I do. I wished them both a happy and lucky New Year, feeling certain that God had His hand in this one.
There was another ring recovery still waiting for me later that day in my old hood (Co-op City!)— but that’s a story of its own coming soon…
