CINCINNATI (WXIX) – Former Philadelphia Eagles center and New Heights podcast host Jason Kelce is still looking for his Super Bowl ring.

Kelce said he lost the ring while wading through a pool of Skyline Chili during the live taping of his podcast at Fifth Third Arena earlier this month.

Kelce, who hosted the event with his brother Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, said they used metal detectors to see if they could find the ring in the chili.

Kelce believes the ring is at a landfill, which Molly Yeager of Rumpke Waste and Recycling said would be a tough find if it were the case.

“It’s not looking for a needle in a haystack, you’re looking for a needle in Iowa,” Yeager said.

Yeager said to get a perspective on how much trash is in the landfill – and what a task it would be searching for a Super Bowl ring – you have to understand how much trash each truck hauls to the facility.

“Trucks that go out in the morning, they come into this building they get weighed,” Yeager said. “We can bring in up to 12,500 tons of trash daily.”

Yeager said landfills start with a hole – a 40-acre cell dug out and covered in protective liners. It begins with clay, then layers of plastics to protect the ground from a substance called leachate.

“Or what you guys might call, ‘garbage juice,’” Yeager said.

Garbage is piled, to new heights, each day. Hills which Yeager said take 17 years to stack.

Finding a Super Bowl ring – the odds aren’t the best.

Yeager said they receive calls from people looking for lost items. Some come out and give it a shot

“If the truck hasn’t come out here and tipped yet, we’ll isolate that truck and you’re more than welcome to come out here and look through the contents of the truck for a fee,” Yeager said. “It would be a very expensive endeavor to go digging in the trash.”

Yeager said one man came to search for his wife’s dentures. After an hour of searching, he found them.

“I don’t know if he ever told her where he found them,” Yeager said.

Yeager said the Super Bowl ring wouldn’t be the first famous football remains to grace the landfill.
