I am a volunteer with Lost My Stuff. Today I received a notice of a lost engagement ring. The young woman who lost her ring is Erin. In the past 24 hours we experienced a very heavy snow storm dropping 6 to 8 inches of snow. Leaving work last night it was necessary for Erin to brush snow from her vehicle. When she arrived home she discovered her ring was missing. The next morning she returned with friends in an attempt to find the ring. They were unable to find it. Not only was Erin newly engaged the ring was also a family heirloom with a great deal of personal significance. It was then she located Lost My Stuff and submitted a lost item report.
I contacted Erin and arranged to meet her in the parking lot of her work place. She was very specific in showing me the area she believed the ring was lost. It was approximately 20’ by 20’ and covered with 6” of snow. I turned on my AT Pro and began the search. I went about 20’ turned to make a sweep in the opposite direction, went 3 feet and got a very solid signal. I bent down to scrape the snow away. Erin quickly joined me and as I removed the packed snow, she reached into the hole and picked up her ring. It was a very emotional reunion. Through many tears she thanked me. She then confessed that she didn’t think she would ever see her engagement ring again. She was thrilled and it was certainly the high point of my day. What a great hobby we enjoy.
