Lost Ring Found In The Snow Tag | The Ring Finders

22k Gold Ring Lost in the Snow is Recovered in Schaumburg, Illinois

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)

Saturday morning while searching for a set of keys for another client, I received a phone call from Karteek. When I was able to return his call he asked if I looked for lost jewlery. I assured him that I most definitely do search for lost jewlery.  He went on to tell me that he had just lost a gold ring in his backyard, and with the snow storm that we had the day before he couldn’t locate it in the deep snow in his yard. We figured I was only about 15 minutes away, so I told him that I was on my way and I’d be there shortly! When I arrived Karteek met me by the garage and took me around into the backyard. I could clearly see where he had been standing and where the snow was disturbed in their attempts to find the missing ring. So I started a small grid search,  starting left to right. After about 5 passes and along the right side of the grid pattern I got solid 20 on the Equinox 800. I used my Garrett pinpointer to then search the deep snow. The pinpointer immediately went off indicating that something very shallow was very close. So I started to sift through the snow until I seen the glint of gold!! I had Karteek come over and see it laying in the snow. He immediately grabbed it and slid it back on to his finger where it belongs!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!!

Ring Found In The Snow At Stowe Mountain Ski Area, Stowe, Vermont

I got a call from a lady who lost her wedding ring while skiing at Stowe Mountain Ski area yesterday. She was extremely upset. Her ring’s triple bands represented her dog, her spouse and herself all as one. The employees at the ski area saw how upset she was and tried all evening to find it for her. I told her I could go look right away. She was actually calling from back home in Boston. I asked her if I found it, would she like me to mail it to her? She said “I will jump in my car and drive right back there!”

She gave me very good descriptions of the areas where she thought she may have lost it. The people at the ski area were extremely helpful and friendly, and gave me permission to search. So after about a half hour search, and hundreds of junk metal signals, I got a good signal under the chair lift. Digging down a few inches in the snow, there it was, sparkling bright and in perfect condition. I was sooooo happy for her! She thought she would never see it again. I immediately sent her a picture message. The people around Guest Services cheered.

After she got my message, she called me, hardly able to talk through the tears. She wanted to drive right up from Boston. I met her part way there, gave it to her and got my hugs!
