Wedding band found in Eagle County river
Lindsey contacted me through the Ring Finders about her husband’s (Ovi) wedding ring that was lost in the Colorado River north of Vail. They had a pretty good idea of the loss location, but due to vegetation growth and the firm current they were not able to locate the ring.
We made arrangements for me to do a search on Thursday as I had other obligations on Friday. Lindsay was able to meet me and show me the location of the loss. Upon arrival Lindsey and I made our way to the river and I began my search. After an hour and a half of searching Linsey mentioned that during their search they had pulled some of the grass up and had tossed it in the river alongside the bank. There was only a portion of that grass left as most of it had floated away. I checked one of the batches of grass and sure enough it had a signal in it. I tossed the grass up on bank and ran my coil over it again, no signal. The ring had fallen out of the grass and now laid on the river bottom. A quick swipe from my water scoop and there was Ovi’s ring.
Ring recovered 7-30-2026
