Chongo,

who is your insurance company? I have State Farm. About 5 years after we were married, my wife took her rings off in a restaurant to put lotion on her hands. She set the rings in her lap and forgot to put them back on. We left lunch and were each heading back to work. She called me in a panic. I went back to the restaurant. Someone turned in her engagement ring. The wedding band was lost. State Farm was great with the claim and it did not impact our premiums.


USAA.

Today was unfruitful. Tomorrow I take the traps off the bathroom sinks.

If no luck, after that I don’t have any other ideas. Just gonna wait and see for a bit.

I have been checking this thread faithfully hoping to see an update that you found the ring.

Losing things can be so frustrating.

Good luck!

Do you have access to, or are able to buy, a small metal detector? Can be had for about a $100 give or take and mine is pretty useful. Besides that, no telling what you'd find besides what you're looking for.

I was also looking for a more positive update. A metal detector is a very good idea. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

My mother in law did not lose her rings she threw them away. Thousands of dollars worth.
Years ago she worked in a school as a assistant to the principal.
She had rings on all of her fingers.
She had gone to the rest room, took off some of her rings and wrapped them in a tissue to wash her hands.
When she was done she dried her hands, picked up the tissue with the paper towels and threw them away.
She did not realize what she had dome because she was not able to take off all of her rings. she still had some on her hands.
That night she realized what she had done, called the school and asked the night custodial staff if the could look for then.
They went through all the garbage cans and from what I remember someone even went dumpster diving, No luck.
In the end because she had insurance she had them replaced.
I wish you the best of luck finding them.

Dad use to put things in pants pockets then hang the pants. We found a number of items in his shoes or the floor of the closet.

Good luck with the hunt.

LOL, my brother SWEARs by St. Anthony. He and my sister were in a little religious bookstore at a retreat that was run by an older nun from the order. They hear her talking to someone like he is standing right there, asking "tony, now where is that book I was looking for?" and a few other mutterings. My sister didn't see anyone, and finally asked her who she was talking to, was there someone in the back room? And she just told her, no, she always asks St. Anthony (patron saint of lost things...) to help her find things all the time. She was apparently well acquainted with him, since she was using the short spelling of his name. :-D

Now, my brother is always asking Tony for help with lottery numbers, but I guess those aren't really lost, eh?

Bus just because it CAN'T hurt, Chongosuerte, I asked Tony if he knew where your wife's rings are and if he could help fine them. Good luck. Smile

Same too. Chongo you’ve got the whole forum rooting for some ring finding!!!!!! Especially considering the timing of the year. They have to be somewhere since she was knocking back wine at home. Had you been out and about they’d be history. They are somewhere. She needs to search her feelings via the force!

She invoked The Saint early on lol

I'm at the house today being half lazy and half still looking around for them as I do my househusband duties. I checked the fridge as I was making my sausage/cream/pepperjack/cheddar cheese western omelet. Didn't find them Wink

Doing the rest of the clothes right now, really expecting to find the rings caught on a shirt or something but no luck yet.

I'm putting off pulling the traps off until she gets home, so she can share in that enjoyment...

About to do the flashlight-on-the-floor thing again. We did it Sunday night, then vacuumed and checked the vacuum, but I'll give it another go.

Do you have pets--dogs or cats? They love to pick up things off the floor and move them somewhere else.

I once found a lost set of keys weeks later inside a cap I hung on a hat rack in the hall. I looked everywhere and had given up. I grabbed the hat, and voila.

Good luck.

Found it in the hamper where my work socks/undershirts/wear go. No reason for it to have been anywhere near it, my guess is it got attached or bundled up in an undershirt that was tossed in. She said she had checked that hamper, but she must have missed it.

And here, a photo of Dave's work! (And he makes rings much better than I take pictures!)

Original post:
I love my wife, best one I've ever had...and she never really looses anything, but we're pretty sure she lost her wedding ring set. Made by our own Dave Truong, of course.

We hosted friends on Friday night. She had the rings on then. I went to bed early because I had to be up for work at 03:30. When I came home early Saturday afternoon she asked if I had seen them. She took them off after her girlfriends left, getting ready for bed, and hadn't left the house all day.

We looked up and down, all around...looked through every bit of garbage/recycling, drains, disposal, laundry, under all the furniture and cushions, every drawer, every coat pocket, bathroom crevice...you name it. And then we did it again. And then we did it again with a friend helping.

Don't think the dog ate it, but at this point we think it has either been thrown out inadvertently or she put it somewhere before she went to bed that was the best hiding spot in the house (she had the better part of a bottle of wine, I'm sure).

The rings are insured as an add-on to our regular insurance, thankfully, but I don't like the idea of what impact filing a claim would be. "Loss" is a covered situation. Despite that, if it doesn't turn up I think we will file--though I'm not sure how long we will wait. Not really in a hurry.

The irony is that her mother lost her wedding ring at about the same point in her marriage, and they just celebrated their 42nd anniversary. Big Grin


Oh yeah, a bottle of wine and rings get caught up in an undershirt, don't how that happened, yeah right Smile
