22k Gold Ring Lost in the Snow is Recovered in Schaumburg, Illinois

Saturday morning while searching for a set of keys for another client, I received a phone call from Karteek. When I was able to return his call he asked if I looked for lost jewlery. I assured him that I most definitely do search for lost jewlery. He went on to tell me that he had just lost a gold ring in his backyard, and with the snow storm that we had the day before he couldn’t locate it in the deep snow in his yard. We figured I was only about 15 minutes away, so I told him that I was on my way and I’d be there shortly! When I arrived Karteek met me by the garage and took me around into the backyard. I could clearly see where he had been standing and where the snow was disturbed in their attempts to find the missing ring. So I started a small grid search, starting left to right. After about 5 passes and along the right side of the grid pattern I got solid 20 on the Equinox 800. I used my Garrett pinpointer to then search the deep snow. The pinpointer immediately went off indicating that something very shallow was very close. So I started to sift through the snow until I seen the glint of gold!! I had Karteek come over and see it laying in the snow. He immediately grabbed it and slid it back on to his finger where it belongs!
Success!!
Another smile for the book!!
Cerria contacted me via text on October 15th requesting my help to help recover a ring she lost throwing the football around with one of her sons a few days ago. She mentioned « I lost the ring in my yard. I was wearing two rings on the same finger. I found one that landed and rolled on the concrete…this was a heavier one. The other, I have had not any luck finding and assuming the ring landed in the grass. I’m devastated. It’s a thinner gold ring with diamonds. » We agreed on a time to meet on Friday AM, October 17th. Like a good detective. I always try to ask good questions and had Cierra recreate the activity. She suggested I look in the same area where the heavier ring was found. I looked thoroughly…The grass was sod and very, very thick. I expected the ring be a « surface » find but stuck and hidden under the heavy grass. I recovered the ring about a foot off from the edge of the driveway where she was throwing the football to her son. Cierra was more than happy with plenty of smiles to go around.
