Lost your ring, other valuable jewelry, cellphone, keys, or other metal object…call or text Brian Carpenter at (814)244-2300 as soon as possible. I am a ring recovery/metal detecting specialist serving Pittsburgh, Indiana (PA), and most of Western PA. Why rent a metal detector when you can get a trained operator with top of the line equipment at the same time…
I was contacted by Joshua who stated his wife had lost her gold wedding ring in the snow in front of a house in Pittsburgh. They were visiting from New York and the ring had fallen off of her finger outside of their car. I was able to make plans to search for the ring the next morning.
I arrived to find out that while the ring was lost out in front of the house it was along the street rather than in a driveway. I met Joshua who showed me where he had parked. Two days had passed and of course they had been searching and people were moving snow as they shoveled out parking spaces and sidewalks. I inspected the area and my heart started to sink. This looked next to impossible. On the curb next to where they had parked was a neighbor’s garbage to include a trash can, an old air conditioner and what looked like a stack of old shelving. Just as an added bonus to what looked like an incredible task was the fact that the temperature was in the single digits.
I started to search, got a pretty promising sound and began combing through the snow. I forgot to mention this was an old cobblestone street. As I got down under the ice I found an copper penny in one of the cracks on the roadway. I was starting to prepare for this to be a VERY long haul. I started to move around the car and to the area of the neighbor’s trash. As I moved around the plastic trash can I got another pretty good hit. I got out my pinpointer and it was a relatively small target. While removing the snow to find the target I caught a glimpse of gold that disappeared back into the white fluffy snow. I dug down and finally there it was – the ring! I hate to say it but I was in disbelief. I have said it before but this was nothing more than simply devine intervention!! I had only been searching for about 20 minutes or so when I found the ring.
I took the ring to the house and gave it to Joshua. He was amazed and very happy that I recovered it. Then I found out they were newlyweds and had been married for just a week. They were returning to New York the next day. As always it was a pleasure to meet another kind and generous client and return their lost ring.
