Wedding Ring Lost While Maintaining Ivy Bed, Cincinnati, Ohio

I received a call from a man who thought he had lost his wedding ring while grooming a bed of ivy in his yard the day before.

As I was planning to do some detecting in the afternoon, we arranged to meet in just a couple of hours .

He was confident the ring had probably been pulled from his finger while clearing out some invasive growth from within the ivy while landscaping his property.

He was sad about the loss and upset because his fifteenth wedding anniversary was coming up and these beautiful wedding rings had been custom made by a local jeweler for he and his wife.

This fact turned out to be good for us, because I was able to scan his wife’s ring and knowing they were of the same materials, I felt confident that if the ring was there, I would be able to recover it.

The ivy was quite thick, but his ring was about twice the size of his wife’s, and so I felt it would give a strong signal, and it did.

We were not ten or fifteen minutes into the search and talking together, when I heard a second signal which was right for what I was hoping for.

Though the previous signal was probably just old aluminum, using my pin pointer I was poking around in the ivy for the source of the second signal thinking it could possibly be just another piece of scrap when I saw the ring.

We were both surprised and very happy the search had gone well, when I pulled it out of the ivy.

I love it when I can recover any lost items, and am happy to help, but with this couple’s anniversary coming up, this wedding ring recovery was a really special!
