Today, I realized my wedding ring had fallen off while doing yard work the previous day. Luckily, I only worked in a few areas, so I had high hopes of finding it. That is until a storm came through, blew half a foot of leaves all over the property, and then froze them with sleet. FML

OP here! The ring had always been so tight that I couldn't get it off, but I guess loosing baby weight combined with the cold weather, my finger shrunk enough. I agree with commenters... I found it extremely odd that I didn't notice... Maybe a case of missing limb syndrome but with a ring? Anyhow, after spending a morning raking the leaves in freezing rain, I FOUND IT! An FML win! (Oh, and #55 sleet does freeze leaves when you live in Texas and the ground is warm enough to melt the sleet but the wind cold enough to re-freeze it. But we can compromise and say we are both right because it has been alternating between freezing rain and sleet for a little while now). WIN!

Always take your ring off when doing yard work, especially of you're not using gloves.

Hire someone with a metal detector to find it for you once the weather clears. If you have no experience with one, the chances of you finding it are not very good.

Get or borrow a metal detector. Good luck!!

Go to ring finders.com. They have members all over with metal detectors and can probably help you.

Try using a metal detector you should find it that way...I hope...

You might want to take off the ring if you're worried about losing it.

It's a sign! Just kidding, I hope it finds you OP

Guess it wasn't all that important to you to begin with.
