Got a phone call from a gentleman who lost his car keys in the snow. He said that because it’s a leased car, the dealership said when the lease was up, he would have to turn in the car with 2 keys. They said it would cost him $250 for a replacement key! (Actually, some manufacturers are even higher….disgusting).

So, after work I went right over to his town. He and his wife showed me the area to search, and I got started. Unfortunately, their snowplow guy had come, so I figured this could be a long search! I scanned all the edges and the 2 big piles, and got no signals. So, out comes the shovel, to dig away at the piles. Still didn’t find it. I decided to search beyond the piles in the fresh powder, and soon got a good signal! There it was, about a foot down! I don’t really know how it got to that spot, must’ve grown wings!

I went inside and gave it to them. A very nice couple, and they just happened to know my father and mother in law. I was so glad to help them out.

Wedding Ring Found By The Ring Finders in Vermont

Went on a cold ring search today, brrrrr only 18 degrees!

Got a call yesterday from a guy who was visiting Vermont on a Thanksgiving get together. He, his wife, their 3 little ones, some brothers, uncles and aunts had rented a lodge near a local skiing mountain. He and his brothers went outdoors to get some air and burn off some calories. They had a snowball fight and threw knives at some logs. After awhile he realized his wedding ring was missing. It was loose fitting to begin with and the cold snow made his fingers shrink a little.

He had to go back to their home today, but he gave me the address to go to. His brother was their searching with a metal detector that they just bought. He was learning it real well, but it was an extremely difficult yard to detect. There was scrap metal all through the soil, and crusty snow and ice to contend with as well. There was also a load of EMI in the air (glad I took 2 detectors with me!). After a couple hours, his brother had to leave. About another 3/4 hour later, I got a clean signal. I moved some ice and there it was, partially pressed into the dirt below. Wow, what a blessing!!!

I called his brother, he hadn’t driven too far, and brought him the ring so he could deliver it to his brother.

Found Wedding Ring in Central Vermont

Got a call from a woman who had lost her wedding ring earlier today. She had been outside pulling weeds and moving brush at her home. After taking a load through the mud and out to the woods, she realized her ring was missing. She figured it had to be where she was throwing the weeds, so she spent several hours on her hands and knees looking for it there.

Her ring is beautiful, a custom made ring with mountains on it. Unfortunately, it fit a little loose, so she had always tried to be careful not to lose it. Even so, it had been lost once before doing the same thing!

I went to her home right away. She showed me the area where she thought it would be and I found it in about 15 seconds! It was in the only spot she hadn’t looked. Easy to tell that because the rest of the area was trampled by her knees! I was very happy to be able to help her out!
