Lost Gold Wedding Ring Found in the Sierra Nevada Mountains
Lost Ring Recovered in the Snow!
Received a call yesterday, (December 28, 2025), of a lost gold wedding ring — in the snow — 26 miles west of Truckee, California in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The client and wife — recently married — were returning home, via Interstate 80, from their honeymoon trip to Reno. At Yuba Gap, they decided to stop at a sledding hill to check out the fresh snow from the recent Pineapple Express Storm. The client started scooping snow with his hands and tossing snowballs resulting in the loss of his wedding ring somewhere on the slope above his parked truck. I arrived an hour and forty minutes after receiving the client’s call, having driven 71 miles from South Lake Tahoe. The client showed me the area where he had been scooping snow and within a couple of minutes got a solid target with a VDI of 62.
Success! The 14k white gold ring was returned to the happy newlywed couple.
