Car Key Lost in the Woods, Recovered. Elburn Il.

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

I received a text message from Scott last night 12/20/25 around 6 pm. In the message he told me that he was volunteering at a his local forest preserve early in the day clearing invasive plants and bushes. At the start of their work day Scott put his car key in his jacket pocket and shortly before leaving he reached into the pocket and realized that the car key was missing! He searched online and was lead to a Reddit post that mentioned « The Ring Finders ». We set up a time to meet this morning at the forest preserve. After arriving Scott and I started the 10 minute hike back to where they were working the day before. When we arrived in area of the work I could see lots of footprints in the snow and the large pile of brush that they had piled up. So I started detecting towards the brush pile, covering all of the footprints as I went. Just before reaching the piles I could see some footprints off to my left side and decided to make a sweep over them quick before diving into the giant pile of honeysuckle.  As I did I heard a big grunt of iron. Just as I was bending over to check the signal I could see something black in the snow. It looked like just another leaf or branch, but as I grabbed it I could see the pink keyring moving in the snow!

Success!!

Another smile for the book!

Lost Gold Ring in the Snow Found in Washington Michigan

  • from Detroit (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

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

Lost wedding band in Melbourne

  • from Melbourne Beach (Florida, United States)
Contact:

Dominick found my contact information on the Ringfinders web site. He had been taking out the trash the week before at night in the rain. He shook his wet hands to dry them off and Oops off goes the ring. He looked the next day but could not find in the thick grass. He went to google and found a expert in the field of finding lost rings.  It was an easy find with my metal detector but impossible with the naked eye.

I was out on a search for someone’s well when I got a message from someone who had lost his wedding ring in the snow. So, I messaged back that I could come this evening.

When I got there he showed me the area and explained that he had been sweeping snow off a car and doing a little shoveling during the large snowstorm we had a few days ago. He had also taken off his gloves a couple times to shake the snow off.

So, we got started. We had lost a lot of snow, which helped speed up the search. After getting a few false alarms from foil wrappers, I got a good signal. I moved some leaves and there was his ring! It was still in perfect condition, but nearly had been driven over.

He was so happy and couldn’t wait to tell his wife!

Why buy or rent a Metal Detector when you can hire a Metal Detecting specialist with over 50 years of xperence… this young man bought two metal detectors and search for five hours with no luck, he then found me on my directory TheRingFinders and the Smile has been recorded.

Last night after getting back from a beach hunt just after midnight I received a call from a young man who told me his wife had lost a gold and diamond Cartier earring. He wanted to see if I was interested in going out that evening after (Midnight) to look for it on Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver.

After talking about the search, I decided to hit it early in the morning, I knew it was gonna be cold and snowy and where he described she lost it, there was no hurry to get there before the snow ploughs or anybody else finding it.

When I arrived and met the young man,  he put me in a great area and I started to do my grid search. The conditions were tough as it froze and the snow was pretty hard packed. After close to an hour, I received a great signal and I chipped away at the snow and ice and found her beautiful diamond earring. As a matter of fact all I saw was the gold post of the earring in the s, after surprising, the young man, we decided to take it to the washroom and use a hot water to melt away the ice and snow. The earring was in perfect condition and back to its owner.

SD card lost after drone crash.

  • from Mount Pleasant (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I got a call to look for an SD card from a drone that crashed into a tree in a farm field. Before going out I tested an SD card adapter and micro SD card with my detector to see what number I would be looking for. At first I wasn’t getting anything on my equinox 800, but I turned on the iron audio and was getting a bouncing signal from 3-5. When I arrived to the search area the gentleman that owned the property took me to a wooded area in the middle of the field. There were parts of the drone hanging from two different trees, so I checked directly under the one and found a few pieces of the drone. I seen that the other piece was higher and figured that is got to be where it hit first. The gentleman with me also said that is the most likely area where the drones owner said it should be. I went right to the area and began searching. I got a faint signal and looked in front of my coil and saw part of the adapter sticking out of the snow. The drone operator put me in the right place for sure.

Hoboken NJ, Wedding Ring Lost In The Snow, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder

  • from Lavallette (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Nicole sent me a text early in the morning explaining that she had lost a cherished family heirloom ring and hadn’t been able to find it. Understanding how important it was to her, I asked her to call me in about five minutes so we could discuss the details more easily over the phone.

She explained that a few days earlier, they’d had an early season snowstorm, and once the snow stopped, she and her family decided to take their dog for a walk at the local park. During the outing, somewhere along the way, the ring slipped off her finger. Nicole was heartbroken and desperate to find it, as it held significant sentimental value.

Nicole explained that the night the ring was lost, her family had been playing in the snow at the park. The dog was running around, and they were throwing snowballs. At one point, a snowball landed in her pocket, where her cell phone was. She reached in to grab the phone, pulling out a handful of snow in the process. Everything was wet, so she removed her glove to shake her hand dry, and that’s likely when the ring slipped.

When I arrived at the park, Nicole came down to meet me and walked me to the exact spot where she thought the ring had come off. She showed me her movements that night, explaining how she shook her hand, leading me to suspect the ring might have fallen to her right. I began searching a large area—10 feet in front, 10 feet behind, and about 25 to 30 feet to the sides of where she had stood—but I found nothing.

As time went on, I began to wonder if someone might have picked up the ring and not reported it. Nicole’s expression revealed her growing worry, and it was clear she was starting to lose hope. I asked her to go over the details one more time and show me the exact spot once again. This time, I caught onto something new: the possibility that the ring may have stayed inside her glove.

With this in mind, I focused on the opposite side of where we’d been searching and made two additional paths in the snow, similar to my earlier search area. And there it was—her beautiful family heirloom ring, just an inch beneath the snow.

Nicole was overwhelmed with relief and joy. She had nearly given up hope, but this moment proved that persistence and attention to detail make all the difference. Every small clue matters when it comes to recovering something so precious.

Lost ring Nyack New York found in the snow!!!

  • from Nyack (New York, United States)
Contact:

I got a call from Emely on Monday December 15th. She had lost her tungsten ring cleaning off her car after a snowstorm on Sunday the 14th. I couldn’t get there until Tuesday the 16th and I wasn’t feeling hopeful knowing the parking lot has been plowed after she lost the ring. She took me to the spot she had been parked at and even knew which side of the car she was on when the ring fell off. Amazingly, two minutes after firing up the Manticore I got a good signal in the snow pile where she had parked. There frozen in a chunk of ice buried in the snowplow pile was her ring! Made her day and mine!

A Smoky Mountain Ring Recovery: Kayleigh’s Story

Kayleigh had traveled to a cozy cabin tucked away in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee to celebrate her friend Haley’s birthday. With fresh mountain air, scenic views, and a balcony overlooking the trees below, it was the perfect setting for a weekend getaway.

But during the celebration, the unexpected happened.

While enjoying time on the cabin balcony, Kayleigh’s ring slipped off and disappeared into the unknown below. Anyone who has lost something irreplaceable knows the sinking feeling that follows. The excitement of the trip was quickly replaced with worry and disappointment.

Determined not to give up, the group made a trip to a local sporting goods store and purchased a metal detector, hoping to find the ring themselves. They searched… and searched… but without experience or the right equipment, their efforts came up empty.

That’s when Kayleigh’s mom stepped in.

Using ChatGPT, she searched for a professional ring-finding metal detectorist and was led to me through www.theringfinders.com. She reached out, explained the situation, and asked if I could help.

I couldn’t respond right away due to work but I contacted the VRBO owner and got his permission to come out the very next day.

The next day I packed my gear and made the drive—about 1 hour and 35 minutes—into the Smoky Mountains. Once on site, I used the detailed photos of the area to estimate where the ring was lost, I assessed the terrain below the balcony, and got to work.

About 20 minutes later, my detector gave the signal we were hoping for.

There it was—Kayleigh’s ring, recovered from the ground below the cabin. Another lost ring found and another story with a happy ending.

Now, with the ring safely in hand, I drove nearly two hours to meet Kayleigh’s husband so the ring can be returned where it belongs—back with its owner, along with the memories and meaning it carries.

This is why I do what I do.

Rings aren’t just jewelry. They’re symbols of love, commitment, and life’s most important moments. Being able to reunite someone with something that meaningful never gets old.

If you’ve lost a ring—whether in the mountains, a yard, a beach, or anywhere else—don’t give up hope. Sometimes all it takes is the right equipment, experience, and a little persistence.
