Found First Gold Ring for 2012

Found Wedding Band
- On Thursday Jan. 12th I received a call from State Farm Insurance asking If I was the Ring Finder. The message was on my answering machine, which I saw when I got home from work. It was too late to contact State Farm then, so I had to wait until Friday morning.
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.
Two calls in two days. Lost rings, Tauranga and Lake Taupo New Zealand
Well, you just never know … I haven’t had a call for months and suddenly I received two calls in two days from distraught owners who had lost their rings. They found my details after doing a quick google search and coming up with theringfinders.com!
The first job was in Tauranga, which is over 2 hours drive from my location. The couple, Will and Rebecca Cass, had emptied a bag into the garden on private property and the platinum ring dropped out and immediately disappeared into the undergrowth. Before I arrived, they had searched the location for hours and removed a large amount of the leaves and branches. I arrived and carefully scanned the area. There was a lot of rusted iron flakes which made my Garrett Pro Pointer pretty well redundant. I set my Garrett ACE 250 to the jewelery setting and went to work. I eventually made my way to the deck area and there was only enough room to get my arm and the pointer under there. The LED light on the pointer was invaluable for this exercise. I fished out a bottle top, some metal fragments, and finally I started picking up a signal in a hole full of leaves and mud. The LED light caught a glimpse of shinny metal and, bingo! There it was. The owners were absolutely relieved and thrilled and they were extremely generous with a reward!

The second call was a similar case, except they were two white gold and diamond rings which fell out of a bag and were quickly swallowed up by the gravelly volcanic sand that lines the beaches of Lake Taupo. Donnee and Daniel Murray spent a long time searching for them, but finally they gave up hope, until they came across theringfinders.com! I was unable to get there until late the following evening. It was raining, but I find this is a nice quiet time to get on with the job. I was shown an approximate area they could be and within seconds got the first signal. The first ring indicated 5 inches under the sand and I found it after using a sand shovel with holes and my Garrett Pointer. I was surprised it had already gone so deep, but the more the sand got disturbed on the surface, the deeper the ring would work its way down. The second ring was found a couple of minutes later at about the same depth about 30cm away. The owners partner was present and took the rings home to a very, very happy lady!
TESTIMONIAL FROM TAURANGA
Dear Tony
On behalf of my wife and I may I say thanks once again for what you did which was nothing short of a miracle as far as we are concerned. Its more than the hi-tec electronic gear you have, you are actually a ‘ring-finder’ not just a guy with a metal detector. The way you methodically searched and found the ring using a process of elimination was astounding. Your manor and professionalism were also much appreciated, we only wish you could have stayed for lunch! But considering you drove 2 hours each way on your day off to help us because we were on holiday,… we are deeply thankful you responded to our call.
Cheers Tony I we are delighted to recommend your services to anybody who needs anything found!

Platnium and Diamond ring found and returned in Westwood Massachusetts
I received an email from a gentleman a week or so before Thanksgiving, asking if i may be able to find his wife’s engagement ring that she lost while doing yard work,or if i knew someone in his area that could. Westwood is about an hour or so from me so i said that on Saturday after Thanksgiving i would come up and try to find it,he said his wife knows right where it should be. We made arrangements for me to meet his wife in front of there house on that Saturday. I arrived at 10:05am and she brought me to the back yard where she had a pile of leaves,she said she lost it in a leaf bag so she dumped it under her deck and that’s where it will be. After scanning it for a few minutes, i told her i was confident that the ring wasn’t there. Her faced dropped. I looked on the side of her deck and saw a small pile of leaves and scanned it and BINGO there was the engagement ring. I looked over to her and her back was to me, so i walked over and tapped her on the shoulder and said i hope this makes your holiday’s better as i held out the ring. She started shaking a little and the gave me a huge hug and said thank you. After a couple pictures we said our goodbye’s.

Lost white gold ring at Haleiwa Beach Park – FOUND!!!
Yesterday (Wednesday, 23NOV2011), I received a call at 7:50PM from a woman who lost her gold ring while walking from Haleiwa Beach to her car. She stated that she felt the ring slip off her finger and into the sand, in an area approximately 10×12 and began searching for it immediately. After three hours of searching with rakes and hand sifting, no ring was found so she called me. She also stated that yesterday was her last full day in Hawaii before going back home to California.
After hearing her story, I feared that the ring would be found today by beachgoers celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday. I frequent the area when I go paddle boarding so I knew that the path she dropped her ring on receives a good amount of foot traffic since it is the only path used to get to this particular area of beach. I felt that immediate action on my part was necessary to reunite her with her ring so I immediately got on the road to Haleiwa.
I got to Haleiwa at around 8:30PM. Armed with my metal detector, scoop, LED headlamp, mosquito repellant and high hopes, I immediately began my search. The area was white sand on top of hard-packed black sand which gave me quite a bit of interference but I was able to tune most of it out. I searched the immediate area for an hour, marked off my search grid and then moved down to the beach. I spent the next two hours searching the area between the beach and the original search grid.
After three hours of searching, my detector signaled a target 4 inches deep. The sound my detector gave off was one that I hadn’t heard all night. I got a really good feeling so to prevent scratching of the possible ring, I put my scoop to the side, got on my hands and knees and started hand-polishing away the top layers of sand. At about three inches, there it was!!!! I gotta tell you that under the light of my high intensity LED headlamp, the reflective shimmer of the white gold ring and the refraction of light through its beautifully placed diamonds was a beautiful sight to my light strained eyes.
I am sincerely happy that I was able to reunite her with her ring.
Shelly and Tony lost Wedding Ring in Reno, NV
I got a call from Shelly asking me to search her back yard for her ring lost over a year ago. The yard was about 40′ by 20′ in size. Not to big and a pretty easy yard to search overall. She and her husband had since replaced it but wanted peace of mind in knowing it was gone for good when they threw out the yard trash or if it was still in the yard. Tony even acquired a metal detrector himself hoping to locate it but as most folks figure out, it’s hard to do without experience and the right detector. I completely searched the yard, did a grid twice over, and we all moved around the pile of rocks hoping the ring slipped down in the cracks. The ring was not found indicating it most likely went with the yard trash bags. I did find a small pendant and some coinage which I left for their son as he was excited to receive the money. I searched for 4 1/2 hours and dug up a ton of metal trash to boot. Tony and Shelly are wonderful folks. They are the type of people you brag about knowing. So I’m bragging. My heart is sad that I could not locate their ring but satisfied that I did my best and it isn’t in their back yard. I wish them all the best and want to shout out a very special thank you for the chance to meet them and making a new friend. They were nice enough to allow a short video to be made.

Ringfinders in the Snow
The first day of snow in Kelowna had Shawn Harrison and his wife Karen cleaning his car windshield of snow, once clean he shook his hands and drove away. When he arrived home he realized he had lost his wedding ring, he returned to the location with a metal detector to attempt to find his ring. It was hopeless too many signals to identify his ring, so he called myself at Ringfinders to assist him. On my arrival I found five people with propane torches and rakes searching the area, I joined the group with my detector and began searching, there were many signals but easy for me to discriminate, after twenty minutes finding three coins and other deep good signals, I located the ring.
Another happy Ringfinders customer who says I saved his marriage.
Lost Ring in Wood Lake
Newly married Kyle was playing in 4 feet of water at Wood Lake, Winfield when he saw his white Gold wedding band fly off his finger, Both him and his wife searched the area with scoops, but were unable to find the ring.Four days later I was contacted through Ringfinders to assist him in the search. Luckily for me he had marked the location in the lake with a mound of stones, it didn’t take long and we had the Ring back on his finger.It pays to know the exact location of a loss in the water.
