Find a ring in the snow in Dobbs Ferry New York – Two Ring Searches, One Day — and an Incredible First Find ❄️💍

  • from Orchard Beach (New York, United States)

Two Ring Searches, One Day — and an Incredible First Find ❄️💍

Today was a first for me: two ring searches scheduled in a single day. I had no idea how memorable the morning recovery would be — or how quickly it would unfold.

The first call brought me to Dobbs Ferry, in front of St. Cabrini’s Nursing Home, where William had been visiting his mom with his new wife the day prior. After the visit, the two of them stepped outside heading to their car and started doing what most couples do when there’s fresh snow on the ground — throwing snowballs at each other and laughing.

Somewhere in the middle of that fun, disaster struck.

William’s wife suddenly realized her platinum diamond ring was gone. The snow was deep, the ground completely covered, and panic set in fast. They were both devastated… they searched and search to no avail, but thankfully, they knew exactly who to call.

I arrived around 10:00 AM the very next morning, stepped out of my car, and began unloading my equipment. Within five minutes of starting the search — five minutes, in the snow — my detector gave the signal I was hoping for.

There it was.

The look on their faces said it all. Shock, relief, and pure disbelief. Honestly? As quiet as it’s kept… I was pretty shocked myself. In all my time detecting, I’ve never recovered a ring that fast.

It was a beautiful way to start the day — and a reminder of why I do what I do. I wished them both a happy and lucky New Year, feeling certain that God had His hand in this one.

There was another ring recovery still waiting for me later that day in my old hood (Co-op City!)— but that’s a story of its own coming soon…

Lost — Gold Solitare Ring — New Smyrna Beach, FL — FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

My wife and I were on our way home from an evening of admiring Christmas lights in a nearby town, the kind of quiet drive where the glow of decorations lingers in your eyes. Halfway home, she received a text. It was our neighbor, Sheri.  Her text sent a note of worry—her niece had lost a ring somewhere in the backyard.

Myrna told her we’d be back shortly and that I’d give them a call. By the time we pulled into our driveway, I was already shifting gears. I headed into the garage, grabbed my detector, and walked over to Sheri’s house. As I approached, her brother-in-law Bob spotted me and waved, letting me know they’d meet me out back.

In the backyard, I was introduced to Jadah, the young lady who’d lost the ring. She explained she’d been doing cartwheels when it slipped off her finger and vanished into the grass. I asked what the ring was made of, and she showed me its twin—the matching ring from the set. Perfect. I smiled, already hearing its signature in my head.

I powered up the Minelab Manticore and began sweeping the lawn. It didn’t take long. On the second or third pass, I stopped and said confidently, “I have it.”

Jadah dropped to the grass, searching eagerly, but couldn’t spot it. I switched to the pinpointer, moved it slowly through the blades, and there it was—the ring revealed at last. A beautiful piece, catching the light even in the dim evening.

Jadah’s face lit up. “You are magical!” she said.

And just like that, a lost ring was reunited with its very happy owner—another small Christmas miracle, right there in the backyard. ✨

LOST HEIRLOOM / 14K ENGAGEMENT GOLD RING LOST IN TAYLORSVILLE, NC……FOUND!!!

  • from Raleigh (North Carolina, United States)

Received a call today from a young lady who asked about my ring recovery services. After a few mins of going over the details, she agreed she wanted me to come out and try to find her 14k engagement ring.

She lost her ring while doing some yardwork about four months prior to calling me. She provided me her address and said they wouldn’t be home. I advised her I will go and if found, I will put it in a secure location and send her the details.

I drive an hour and forty-five mins to get to her house. Set up my machine to locate the ring in the range it should have been in. VDI 40-65 on the Deus 2. After about an hour I get a VDI 48 and dig down about 2-3 inches and I see the beautiful gold roundness that I had been hoping for!!

After I sent her the pictures to confirm I had found it, she proceeds to tell me that not only had it been lost for 4 months, but it was also her husband’s Great Grandmothers ring!!! 😱😱😱 A priceless family heirloom that means a lot more than just a symbol of their love.

I love what I do, because of happy stories just like this that makes me hate even more the ones I can’t find!

Toronto Trifecta Amazing Winter Ring Recovery

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)

 

It was an awesome morning and one I will not forget anytime soon.

I got a call from a lady who had taken a slip in her driveway and didn’t realize until later that she had lost all three of her rings. By the time she noticed, they were already buried somewhere under snow and ice.I headed out for a first attempt but Mother Nature had other plans. The ground was frozen solid and the snowpack was thick, so after a thorough search we had to wait for better conditions.

A couple of days later, with warmer temperatures and most of the snow finally melted, I went back for round two. That is when the mystery was solved. The rings were not in the driveway at all. They had ended up in the neighbor’s garden, most likely shoveled there when the snow was cleared after her fall.

This recovery felt more like a gold rush than a ring search. I was chipping away at leftover ice with a hammer, feeling like a miner digging for gold. One by one, all three rings were located and recovered.

The relief and excitement on her face said it all. What started as a painful fall and a stressful loss turned into a happy ending and an unforgettable morning. Another great recovery and a reminder that sometimes patience and persistence make all the difference.

Lost Gold Ring in the Snow Found in Washington Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)

Decking his halls with ornaments bright

Steve lost his gold ring in the snow one night

I drove many miles arrived with bells on

Santa came early to search the lawn

Over cold ground like old prophesy

I presented a gift of gold like the Magi

Steve’s face lit up like a Christmas tree

Christmas had come early bringing untold glee

Edgewater Florida Lost gold heirloom ring found by Florida Ring Finder Mike McInroe!

  • from Sanford (Florida, United States)
Contact:



Over 160 years ago Mrs Kelly’s great great grandmother was given a very special thick banded gold wedding ring and for all these years it has been in the family and passed down from one generation to another and Mrs Kelly has been planning on passing it down to her children. Mrs Kelly absolutely loves working in her yard planting flowers and tropical plants of all kinds and a couple of weeks ago she realized her gold heirloom ring was missing from her finger. She normally wears her ring all the time but she recently noticed that it was a little loose fitting and thought of getting it resized. Her dear husband came to the rescue and tried his best to find her lost ring…even going so far as to buy a metal detector and even hired a couple of his workers to do a thorough search of the yard. All the while Mrs Kelly was very upset and troubled that her lost ring could not be found. Then one day a plumber friend suggested getting a professional metal detectorist and that led them to theringfinders.com. After meeting Mr Graig and seeing their back yard I realized that I was in for a tough challenge. I began systematically searching the grass, the bushes, the stones and around each bush beginning from the side and making my way towards the back. As I reached the middle of the back yard I was swinging my coil along a small wall of bricks and my detector gave a small chirp and as I peered over the edge I could just make out a small circle on the mulch. Bending closer I could see that it was Mrs Kelly’s lost ring just lying there waiting to be found. And Oh…was Mr Craig surprised that I actually found his wife’s lost gold heirloom ring!

I always want to give God the credit for helping me find a lost item and for leading me to those particular individuals who need my special and unique service! How can I help you? Call or text me ASAP and let’s talk!

Mike McInroe…honored to be part of TRFers!

Lost Gold Signet Ring In The Snow Mill Woods, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Jessica contacted me yesterday seeking assistance in locating her late father’s in-law gold Signet ring, which was passed down to his son and subsequently to Jessica 5 days ago..

While Jessica was retrieving garbage from the office and transporting it to the back dumpster, she lifted the lid and felt the ring fall off her finger. She believed the ring had fallen into the dumpster. Jessica and a few colleagues emptied and searched the contents of the dumpster without success.

I agreed to conduct a search and met Jessica at her office. She demonstrated how the ring had fallen off her finger, leading her to believe it had entered the dumpster. However, I observed that the ring could not have fallen into the dumpster.

To determine the ring’s potential range, I provided Jessica with a test ring. The ring’s trajectory indicated that I should search the back of the dumpster. I conducted a search in that area, but no results were found. I then searched the front of the dumpster without success.

Next, I initiated a search of the parking lot adjacent to the dumpster, approximately 6 feet away. I detected a Very shallow Signal (VDI) of 70 on my detector and with the only signal in the area, buried in about 2” of packed snow I found her ring.

Jessica was ecstatic that the ring was once again back on her finger.

Thank you Jessica for entrusting me to locate your ring,
