Lost your ring or jewelry?
Rings and pendants can disappear surprisingly easily—into grass, snow, or forest floors—and without the right tools, they're difficult to find. But with a metal detector, it's often possible to locate and recover them.
The sooner the search begins and the smaller the search area, the better the chances of success.
Wedding Rings Thrown into the Forest
A couple had an argument at their summer cottage during May Day. In the heat of the moment, the man threw both of their rings off the terrace into the woods. Later, he managed to find his own ring using a borrowed metal detector, but the woman's wedding ring remained missing. I was called in with two detectors, and we began a systematic search using guide ropes. After about 30 minutes, I got a promising signal—her ring was wedged between pieces of concrete hidden under moss and leaves. The man had searched the same spot earlier, but sometimes experience and knowing your equipment makes all the difference.
White Gold Wedding Ring in the Snow
A young woman lost two rings on her way home from the gym during winter. One was found on the gym stairs, but the wedding ring was nowhere to be seen. We started the search near the bike racks where she had checked her pockets. I quickly got a strong surface signal—there it was, peeking out from a clump of compacted snow! The whole search took just a couple of minutes. The couple was amazed, especially since they had searched the same spot the night before.
White Gold Ring in the Grass
A man lost his white gold wedding ring while placing his child in a stroller by a walkway. He realized it immediately, but even with help, they couldn't find it by eyesight and with hands. I heard about the case three weeks later and found the ring in about 30 minutes. It was completely hidden under bent grass—impossible to spot with the naked eye.
Silver Confirmation Ring Lost for 58 Years
This ring was a confirmation gift in 1961 but was lost the following spring in a forest where the siblings had gone berry picking. Despite many search attempts, it remained missing. Nearly 60 years later, I was asked to search the area. After about two hours, I got a good signal and found the ring about 10 cm deep in sandy forest soil. The owner was overjoyed to have it back.
It doesn't matter how long ago the item was lost—if it's still there, it can often be found with the right tools.
Gold Ring from England
A young Englishman lost his ring on a forest path in late summer. Even though the spot was lit and known, the ring was hard to see against the gravel. I heard about it through Facebook and went to search. After about 20 minutes, I got a good signal and found the ring near a lamppost. Even in daylight, it was nearly invisible against the gravel.
Delicate Inherited Gold Ring in the Grass
Wedding Ring in Snowy Parking Lot
The ring slipped off while brushing snow from a car windshield in a residential parking lot. Despite searching, it wasn't found. I was called in and we searched the parking spot. There were many signals from pipes under the asphalt, but eventually I found the ring in the next parking space, right at the edge.
Chunky 1960's Wedding Ring Lost in the Woods
This thick gold ring from the 60s was lost during firewood work nearly 10 years ago. The elderly man thought it was gone forever—until he read a newspaper article about Kadonnutsormus.com. . We searched the most likely area but found only scrap metal. After a break, I restarted the search and soon got a strong signal by a blackened tree stump. There it was! The man's face when I confirmed the engraving was priceless.
