While out walking her dog with her kids Chiyoko Hogan lost her wedding & engagement rings while attempting to toss a snowball at her two wonderful daughters. The rings escaped her hand, hit a handrail that was beside the sidewalk she was on and then hid from sight under 2-3 inches of freshly fallen snow. Chiyoko did not see the ring set leave her figure but she did hear it hit the metal handrail. Immediately the search for the rings began but due to the two pre-teen children and dog on the lease, efforts were hindered. She went into her apartment with tears in her eyes to get her husband Joshua to assist in the search. The couple moved several inches of snow because of previous snow along with the fresh snow in an attempt to find the ring set.
After a couple hours of searching Joshua went to a local retail store to purchase a metal detector. The detector that was purchased was not of very good quality but should have been able to find the ring. They searched the area again without luck again. Joshua knew that the detector that was purchased wasn’t of good quality so he went to a store where he could rent a metal detector. The rental detector was definitely a better quality machine, but without experience using such a machine even the world’s best metal detector would not be much help. They searched the area that they expected the ring to be in one more time hoping the detector would alert them to the rings’ location.
After a quick internet search the couple came upon my Ring Finders profile and contacted me Friday night night. Unfortunatly I was not home that night due to having plans with my wife that niht. But Joshua left a message and contact information so that I could get ahold of him at an appropriate time. I called Joshua the next morning and he told me the basic information of the rings’ loss We made arrangements for me to come and search for the ring later on that day, Saturday, February 11, 2012. Unfortunately Chiyoko would not be able to be there when I made my search for her rings due to having to fly back to her former home town to see a sick relative.
Upon arriving at their residence Joshua took me to the area of the rings loss and described the circumstances of the rings’ loss and their attempts to recover the ring. I put my detector together and proceeded to search the area that they had searched previously. After recovering a couple of non-ring targets I decided to switch coils in order to get closer to some metal yard edging. While changing out coils I also needed to put on my gloves, the temperature at that time was around 17 degrees. After another 15 minutes search I heard a good signal on the opposite side of the sidewalk that they expected the ring to be. I looked over at Joshua and said “This sounds REALLY good”. When I pulled some snow back I could see the glint of the 14 kt while gold shining up at me. We had recovered Chiyoko’s rings! Joshua was ecstatic and a bit taken aback as he had previously searched this area with the purchased and rented detectors. This once again proves that expertise in the use of a metal detector can be the key to finding such things as this BEAUTIFUL ring set
I have an online Coaching school I am taking on Fridays and Saturday mornings. I am taking the Coaching class to be able to do Coaching and Consulting in the finding of Treasure. I have already used a lot of skills that I have learned in the recovery of Treasure. A couple things I have learned is to really listen what the client says and then asking important questions to make rcovery faster.
On the evening of friday the 13th, Pat carried the christmas tree outside to put it out for the trash, while we removing his glove, with a flicking of the hand his wedding band flew off into the snowbank. Soon afterward the snowplow went by. Pat and his wife started to scoop the snow and bringing it inside to melt it. After a few hours of melting snow Pat decided to Google a professional, and this is when he called me late last night. After speaking on the phone I assured him that he was in good hands, and that I was going to meet up the following day between 9h30 and 10h00. I arrived at Pat’s home and he showed me where the ring was lost. Pat had shoveled the snow and made a pile in his driveway. I decided to search the snow pile spreaded across the laneway, well my gut feeling was right, swinging the coil and about 45 seconds later the sound of gold rang through my headset, it said about 4 inches in the snow, I pulled out my pinpointer and searched the snow, there shining and held with a chunk of snow glistened a mens white gold ring. Pat was extremely happy and gave me a huge bear hug. I love what I do and this passionate hobby.

Date: Dec/19/11 Location: Horse Farm, Dugald Manitoba
Recieved a call today from a lady that had lost a custom made Ring 2 years ago on her farm property. The lady had heard of me through a card I had left at a rural jewelry store and she decided to give me a call and inquire about my service. I told her that even though the ring had been lost 2 years ago, I could still find it if it is indeed lost where she said it was lost. I agreed to give it a shot. I loaded up the equipment and headed off to Dugald Mb. The weather today is -3 celcius and it just started to snow a bit, the ground has been fairly frozen for 2 months now but we’ve had some temperatures hovering around 0 celcius and some plus temp as well.There should be a lot more snow on the ground and the temperature should be a lot colder for this time of year for sure.
I arrived on the property to meet the owner lady and she quickly showed me the area that the ring had previously been lost at. Approx. 30ft x 30ft area in question that I quickly grid out. turned on the Whites XLT to my gold setting and started swinging, 2 minutes later I got a signal of +38 on the XLT screen and I knew that I had located the lost ring. The screen read 3 inches deep but to avoid any scratches to the ring I dug 6 inches deep and wide and sure enough, out came the ring. What a beauty it was. I called the lady and presented her with my find. Her eyes grew like saucers and she was ecstatic. Another successful search chalked up. If you have lost a ring lately or in the past contact the nearest “Ring Finder” in your area visit www.theringfinders.com
Pictures of the ” Recovered Ring” are enclosed for your viewing.
While cleaning up debris left behind by a recent snow storm Matt Smalley lost his 14 kt white gold wedding band. Matt performed an “eyeballing” search for his ring but it was unable to locate his ring. Matt found my profile on Ring Finders and contacted me, giving me the basic information and we set a date for me to come and look for his ring.
I arrived at the prescribed date and time; Matt had taken that afternoon off work so that he would be able to explain his work site and what he was doing the day of the rings loss. The day was a bit cool so after Matt had shown my around he went back into his house to stay warm.
I prepared my equipment and set about on my search. Within a couple of minutes I heard the sound of a ring laying on the surface. As I parted the grass I could see the white gold band that was hiding very well under the leaves and brown grass. I retrieved the ring and made my way to the front door to return Matt’s ring.
Ring recovered November 1, 2011.
