Lost Sterling Silver Thumbprint Ring Found in Wooster, Ohio!
Saturday morning I woke up to a missed call and text from Chris. The text said he had lost a ring in Wooster, Ohio and asked if I’d be interested in helping him recover it. I messaged him immediately and he called me right back. His wife had been cleaning snow off her car the night before and the ring flung off. He explained that the ring had tremendous sentimental value, as they had lost their son a few years back and this was a memory ring they’d had made through the funeral home with their son’s thumbprint on it. They had searched the car and the immediate area, but no luck. He called around to several friends to inquire if anyone had a metal detector and then he did a little searching online and found The Ring Finders. Within the hour we arrived at Chris’s house. He showed us where she’d been parked the night before and we got to work. There was a lot of interference, with the driveway, porch steps and a drainage pipe all within the tight search area. After the first couple of swings, I switched my Deus to a modified “fast” program and within two minutes I located the ring about two feet from the driveway and two inches from the drainage pipe! Chris rushed in to get his wife, who did not know we had found it yet. She came out to the garage and, as he was introducing us, I handed her the ring. The look on her face was priceless as she grasped the ring and held it to her chest, thanking us. This is why we do what we do! That look, that moment…there is nothing like it! The whole thing (from initial contact to handing her the ring) took less than an hour, but that moment will last forever!
