Lost Platinum Wedding Band at English Bay Beach, Vancouver…Found
I helped David find his Platinum wedding band that he lost in the ocean 3 days before we made contact. He told me the story that just before they left the beach for home he was washing the sand off his daughter when he felt the ring come off his finger and into the water.
He spent the next 45 minutes searching for his wedding ring in the not so warm water but so often the end result is the sand wins! That’s only temporary as ”The Ring Finders” are there to help!
If David could put me in the area I will find it, if someone hasn’t beat me to it.
Well after searching the first area just 2 hours before dark we didn’t have any luck. David started to think that he put me in the wrong location after his wife sent him a picture of him in the water. I decided to return the next morning for low tide and search the new area…
It took 2 hours and I found the ring! I love a good hunt! And I love my job!
Thanks for reading my blog.

Lost Graduation Ring in Fort Langley BC…Found!
Hi and thanks for reading my story about a lost steel graduation ring that was given to students that graduated their Iron Engineering Course. The call came in and the young man told me the story that he lost his steel graduation ring while helping his girlfriend do some gardening at her families home. By the sounds of it he was pretty sure that it was lost some where in the garden and I felt my chances were good to find it.
When I arrived at the location I was greeted by the young man and his girlfriend, I got my detector out of my truck and fired it up, we started to head to the garden in question and before I could swing the loop more then 3 times we both saw the ring lying in the dirt…
He started laughing and it was over that quick! This is the second time in 3 hunts that the ring was found in a less then a minute. I have the greatest job in the world! I get to make people Smile!
I love my Job!

Below is a testimonial about The Ring Finders…
It wasn’t just any ring that went flying off my finger while throwing snowballs at our husky. It was THE ring. The ring he chose all by himself. The ring he loved enough to give to me when he got down on one knee. And now it was hidden somewhere in 2 feet of snow!
We were newly engaged and still floating on cloud 9. Everything was perfect leading up to that afternoon of playing in the snow. The sunshine was glistening as we took turn tossing clumps of snow into the air. Our dog was jumping up chomping on them. I picked a big clump and tossed it with both hands. As I let go of the snow I knew instantly that my ring, which hadn’t been sized yet, was gone. Feeling it slide off the whole length of my finger was the worst feeling in the world.
We looked for hours. Tracing and retracing every inch of the dog park we were in. When our eyes failed us we shoveled 16 trash bags full of snow and melted them in the bathtub hoping to find my ring in the water. Bag after bag melted and bag after bag there was no ring. As my tears dried we slowly began to realize that short of a miracle, the ring was gone forever.
That miracle was discovering theringfinders.com on Google. They were great! There was no one in our area listed on the website but they found us a guy who lives down the street. Larry came the next day with all his gear and in 45 minutes had the ring back in my fiance’s hands. Larry’s strategy was simple and effective. He started with where I was standing and slowly expanded his search past where we had been looking until he hit the jackpot. We are so grateful to Larry and theringfinders.com for helping us! Instead of a tragic memory they gave us our ring, a great story to tell at the reception, and something my fiance can tease me about for the rest of our lives.

$50,000 Diamond Ring Found Omaha, NE
While at work I received an unexpected phone call form an insurance agent asking if I was still looking for rings. He then begins to tell me that he has a client who has lost a 3.4 carat diamond ring valued at $50,000 dollars and if I would be interested in looking for it, I think I said “yes”. He put me in contact with his client and we arranged to meet that afternoon.
By the time 3 pm rolled around the weather had gone from sunny and 60 to raining and 50 degrees. Unfortunately I had left the house without even a jacket. A quick stop at the store and I had a jacket off the clearance rack, a rain suit, and umbrella. I met the owner at the soccer complex, with umbrellas in hand we went out to where she was at two nights ago. After hearing her story I was confident it was lost on the complex and fairly confident nobody had simply picked it up.
She went on her way and I got geared up to begin the search. The rain came and went but the temperature continued to drop. I started my search along the sidewalk but stopped after about 30 feet. With roughly 500 feet of sidewalk, a couple hundred sq ft of soccer field, and only a few hours to hunt. I opted to concentrate around the soccer field where I figured she probably dropped it. By the time I finished looking around the soccer field, my shoes and gloves were soaked and I was chilled to the bone. I decided to warm up a bit and started covering the sidewalk on my way back to the car, deciding to skip the last field because there was a poor group of 10 year old girls playing in that miserable weather.
Looking out into the chilly haze I thought about giving it up for the evening. Then my phone rang it was Joe, I had invited him to come along for the hunt. He was all geared up and would be there in a couple of minutes…..great. His enthusiasm would curtail after a couple hours in this miserable weather. He started hunting the opposite side of the sidewalk on his way out back out to the soccer field, while I drove and hit up another clearance rack for a warmer shirt and dry socks. We hunted another 2 hours, with his enthusiasm chilled we decided to quit for the evening.
I knew the last chance would be the following evening (Friday), on the weekend there would be a thousand people at these fields. I started with the sidewalk again covering the little bit of area I skipped the night before. Not more than 100 feet and 15 minutes, I had a good signal…. pulled back the grass and saw the shiny item I was searching for. I immediately called the owner and let her know that I found something she might be interested in and made arrangements the following day to return it. I then placed a call to the insurance company, I’m not sure which one was happier.
Lost Ring Westford, MA. … FOUND
I received a phone call from a gentlemen regarding a lost wedding ring from Westford, MA. The couple is celebrating a silver anniversary, so the ring has a lot of sentimental value. After finding a rusted razor and a nail, I was able to locate the ring within 10 minutes of arriving to his house. I came up out of the wooded area and told him it was going to be a good day! His wife heard us, and ran from the back of the slider overcome with joy. Needless to say, the couple was elated and I was very happy that I could be of service.

Lost Gold Wedding Band found at Carmel Beach
Kevin called me Saturday afternoon and explained to me that he and his wife were enjoying the glorious sunshine we have been having this weekend. He had put his wifes rings in the cup holder of their beach chair for safe keeping, but when he collected the chair they dropped out onto the sand. He found all but one gold band. He searched for it briefly but as we all know the sand usually prevails, and that’s when he decided to look for an alternative. He did a quick search to see if anyone in the area rented metal detectors, but having never used one was unsure about it, even if he could find one to rent. That’s when he found “The Ring Finders”, after a quick search in our directory he found me and called. I missed his initial phone call, but called him right back within 10 minutes and got his story. I met him at the beach and we discussed a few details of how he lost it and then I began to search. My Sovereign GT sounded off within two minutes and there was gold in my scoop! What a great day! Thank you Kevin!
Daughter’s Hand Once Fit Inside Dad’s Lost Wedding Ring, Recovered From The Gulf, off Naples, Florida!
Newborn Daughter's Hand in Dad's Wedding Ring
Every Father’s wedding ring is special. But, when Matt Wilson called us on Valentine’s Day and sent us this photo of his newborn daughter’s hand, easily fitting inside his ring… we knew we had to find it for him!
His miracle baby daughter, Mya, now a happy, healthy young girl, was born 12 weeks early and weighed in at only 1 pound, 10.8 ounces.
Now, years later, while having a photographer shoot their first family portrait, on a beach in Naples, Florida, Matt’s ring ended up in the drink!
He searched for the ring for hours, but ended up having to fly home without it. Then, thanks to TheRingfinders website, Matt was able to find us and sent us a map of the area and the photo of the ring.
It took three trips out to the area, but I was able to find it and return it to the family.
”I still remember the day I got the voice mail from him. I didn’t listen to the entire message, because I heard him say, ‘Hey Matt its Larry. I think I have some good news for you…’. I called him back and he read me the date off the inside of the ring. It was amazing! I had given up hope of it being found… but Larry came through for us!” - Matt Wilson
Lost Engagement Ring Recovered In Severn Maryland!
Back on April 3rd, I was contacted by Laurie via email informing me that over the weekend she lost her wedding ring while doing yard work. What I remember most about the email was her last sentence……..” I’m absolutely heartbroken”. I got back to her the same day and we made arrangements to come out that weekend. Once again, my detecting buddy Lance was available to tag along. Were we successful you ask? I’ll let Laurie tell the story in her own words…..
We were outside most of the day Saturday. My husband was working in the yard all day. I was outside most of the day as well , simultaneously cleaning up the flowerbeds and the kids’ play area and playing with the kids. After coming in for the day, we had a quick dinner, gave the kids a bath and put them to bed. Once the kids were in bed and we had a chance to relax we realized my engagement ring was missing. We panicked and tried to look for it in the house and outside, even though it was dark. We barely slept and continued the search on Sunday and for the next couple days. We sifted through the bags of yard waste, checked drains in the house, took apart our washing machine and used a cheap metal detector that we had in our garage. We had no luck finding the ring but kept googling for ideas. We came across Jim’s web page and figured we had nothing to lose. We e-mailed Jim and he responded right away. He told us not to throw out our yard waste so that they could check it with their detectors. We arranged for Jim and his buddy Lance to come out in a few days. They arrived as scheduled and were very friendly and eager to help find the ring. They asked some questions about what we were doing and where and then they got to work. They were very methodical in their search and their equipment was top-notch. Within and hour of searching, Lance found the ring in a bag of yard waste. As our daughter said, “Yay, nice men!” Thanks again Jim and Lance! ~ Laurie & Jason
I tell you what, the feeling never gets old returning something to someone that has practically given up hope of ever seeing it again. And this 100% success rate I(we) have going……I’m really getting use to it!
Lance and a very happy Laurie!
Glad we got this beauty back!
