Received a text from a gentleman saying his wife had lost her white gold class ring after removing snow off her car. She shook her hands and the ring came flying off and lost.

We agree to a date/time. I get up there and begin my search about an hour later I found it. It was about 10-15 feet and opposite side of where they thought it went.

Rent a metal detector in Lawrence, New York – Another Ring Found in the Snow… Well, Almost ❄️💍

Another Ring Found in the Snow… Well, Almost ❄️💍

Last night I received a text from Rav — and you could feel the stress through the phone. He was supposed to be leaving Wednesday on vacation with his new fiancée, but there was a problem: his engagement ring had vanished while shoveling snow in the large front yard of his home in Lawrence, New York.

Snow, cold, metal gloves — never a good combination.

Rav had a few spots where he knew the ring could be. Those were my first targets. I carefully scanned each area… once… twice… three times. Nothing. Not even a hopeful beep. At that point, I’ll admit it — I was starting to think this one might turn into a waiting game until the snow melted.

Just as I was about to regroup, I suddenly heard Rav yell out,

“I FOUND IT!”

I turned around to see him standing in the driveway, holding the ring. It turns out that while using the snowblower, he had taken his gloves off right there — and that’s when the ring slipped off. The snow hid it perfectly until the light hit it just right. He spotted the glimmer and picked it up himself.

The relief on his face said everything.

Even though Rav was technically the one who found the ring, he still insisted on paying my full reward. His reasoning? Process of elimination. Since the ring wasn’t in any of the areas I had searched, it had to be somewhere else — and my being there led him to the answer. I only accepted a partial reward.

The truth is, if he had waited until Friday, when the temperature was supposed to hit 55° and the snow melted, the ring probably would’ve surfaced on its own — but by then it could’ve been crushed, bent, or damaged by cars in the driveway. And most importantly, Rav didn’t want to leave for his trip with that stress hanging over him.

As he kept saying,

“If you weren’t here, I never would’ve found it.”

That’s a win in my book — and another happy ending just in time for a vacation and a fresh start.

Lost White Gold Man’s Wedding Ring in Grove City, OH. “FOUND”

  • from Newark (Ohio, United States)
Contact:

 

I received a call about a lost wedding band that had gone missing somewhere in the backyard. It happened on an ordinary snowy day while the homeowner was outside playing with the dog. When he came back inside, he realized the ring was no longer on his finger. He checked his camera footage and confirmed it had been lost outdoors, but pinpointing the exact spot was the challenge.

Although much of the snow had already melted, the ring was still nowhere to be found. I was able to schedule and perform a search within a few days of the loss. I began by thoroughly scanning most of the backyard with no success, so I continued expanding the search into other areas. Eventually, the ring was discovered tucked away near the stairs leading up to the deck—carefully hidden out of sight.

The homeowner was incredibly relieved and grateful to have the wedding band returned.

Today I had the opportunity to help a young gentleman named Luke search for his lost wedding band out in the Bloomfield, VT Wildlife Management Area. After tracking through thick brush, uneven ground, and more than 4½ miles of searching, we finally found it.

There’s nothing better than seeing the look of relief and gratitude when something so meaningful is recovered. Proud to have been able to help and glad Luke’s ring is back where it belongs. 🥾🔍💍

Metal Detector finds a lost ring in a snowbank in Minneapolis Mn.

A Ring Lost in a Minneapolis Snowbank, Recovered by The Ring Finders
Ring Finder  Paul Nolan received a call that was referred to me by Darrin Gray, another Ring Finder who was unable to assist at the time. The call came from a very distraught woman visiting Minneapolis from Nevada. One thing that’s not needed very often in Las Vegas is a snow scraper and brush. While here, they encountered a light snowfall on their parked car in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. When they returned to their car, they needed to clean the windows. Without a brush, they used their hands to sweep off the snow. But no good deed goes unpunished, and a very sentimental ring was lost somewhere in the snow. This sparked a frantic search, including the purchase of a couple of metal detectors. They hunted for the next three hours without success. That’s when they realized they needed to call in someone with more expertise in locating lost rings. I happened to be relaxing when the phone rang. You could hear the tremble in her voice—this was a panic-stricken person who’d lost a deeply sentimental item and desperately needed help finding it. I told her I’d be downtown in about 45 minutes. Before long, we connected by phone, and I found myself following her car. We circled the block and pulled over on the side of a main thoroughfare in Minneapolis. There was slush everywhere on the road. We got out, surveyed the area, and I started the hunt. I cleared the road and the parking area along it—nothing. I checked the snow pile created by the snowplow—nothing on the roadside. I was concerned about a car parked nearby; maybe the ring was underneath it. I pressed on to the sidewalk, scanning the sidewalk side of the snowplow windrow. Suddenly, I got a target. I started moving some snow with my boot, but then I lost the signal. Where did it go? It was right here. I kept trying to recover the signal, but it was gone. I’d kicked an ice chunk, and I may have kicked the ring too, because about three feet away, I picked up the target again. I nudged a little snow aside with my metal detector, and something sparkled. I spotted it at the same time the women did. The happiness, the relief—the fear of losing the ring was over, and everything fell back into order in their lives. What a beautiful ring it was! I am so happy for them and now a part of the history of her ring.

Beautiful Platinum Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

I was completing my 2nd ring finder mission of the day when I received a text from Jim regarding a lost platinum wedding band. It just so happens I was 15 minutes down the road successfully helping another gentlemen with his lost band…so i headed in his direction. Upon arrival Jim took me to his backyard and explained that he was playing/wrestling with his dogs when his ring came up missing. He suggested an area where he felt it most likely fell off….but couldn’t rule out any area in the large yard. As I always do I started scanning with my metal detector the most likely area the ring was lost. From 40 years of metal detecting I know that a ring on the surface has a very dramatic/unique signal on a metal detector…so I was hyper focused on hearing just that signal. I also calibrated my machine for just a gold/platinum ring. 3 minutes into the search….the signal I was looking for blew my ears off! It was 3 inches down in the deep grass and invisible to my eyes…but I knew it was there. I got out my ponpointer…dug around….and there it was! I was very happy to be able to return Jim’s ring to him…his smile as I handed his ring to him makes being a busy ring finder the best thing in the world!

Beautiful Gold Wedding Band Lost, Recovered and Returned in Wilmington, DE!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Dan found me in the Ring Finders Directory after losing his wedding band Thanksgiving weekend. He was enjoying the holiday at his home in Wilmington, DE when his ring came up missing. After thoroughly searching the inside of his house he reached out to me Sunday and I made arrangements to meet him that same day. When I got there he shared that he thought the ring most likely flew off his finger while he was tossing around a football with the kids in the side yard of his home. The side yard is about 1/8 of an acre and he told me he was playing football mostly toward right/middle…so as I always do I started my search in the most likely area. A ring on the surface has a very unique signature….so while I was getting quite a few signals I was hyper focused on a very unique signal…It didn’t take long…3-5 minutes into the search…BOOM….there was the signal I was looking for. I looked down…and there was his beautiful gold ring! He had gone back inside so I think he was a little surprised to hear me knocking on his door 3 minutes later!!! He and his wife were quite joyous to have his ring back on his finger!  I was very happy to be able to come through and return his ring to him!!!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Mike found me in the Ring Finders Directory after losing his wedding band Thanksgiving weekend. He was enjoying his holiday and playing football in the backyard of his in-laws house in Warrington, PA when his ring came up missing. After searching for hours and even purchasing a cheap metal detector at Harbor Freight he could not locate the lost ring. He reached out to me Saturday and I made arrangements to meet him the next day. He shared that the lost ring was made of tungsten so when I arrived at the house I brought along a matching tungsten ring so I could calibrate my metal detector and demonstrate the machine for Mike…I wanted him to have complete confidence that if I went over the ring…I wouldn’t miss it! The backyard was about 1/3 of an acre and he told me was playing football mostly toward right/middle…so as I always do I started my search in the most likely area. A ring on the surface has a very unique signature….so while I was getting quite a few signals I was hyper focused on  a very unique signal…It didn’t take long…5 minutes into the search…BOOM….there was the signal I was looking for. I looked down…and there was his beautiful ring! He had gone inside and was watching me with his family from inside a glass sliding door across patio…I triumphically held up the ring for all to see…and pretty sure I heard joyful screams from him and his family! He came out…lots of high fives…and amazement at the quick successful search! I was very happy to be able to come through and return his ring to him!!!

Ring found in Calgary Park

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

She called just after midnight. Rather distraught. I’m glad she did because I needed to be there IMMEDIATELY. The next morning I arrived at the park at sunrise and walked the path with him on Whats App. Before I could go back and get my equipment I spotted the ring on the path. Picked it up and hit the road to return it the same day.
