David’s lost gold wedding ring, North Cottesloe Beach, Perth
I received a call today from David asking if I could help locate his lost wedding ring. He had narrowed the search area down to a small stretch of beach at North Cottesloe, which is one of Perth’s popular beaches.
I headed straight down that evening to search the dry beach area but unfortunately the ring didn’t turn up in my scoop. I told David that I would hit the water at first light the following morning. David was concerned that my services was going to cost him too much money, especially as I was making a second drive to the beach, which for me is about a 60 mile/100km round trip. I told David there was nothing to pay unless the ring was found. David was blown away by this service that I offer !
Anyhow, I was back at the beach at 5am the following morning. It was a perfect summer morning for hunting, not a soul in sight and only the sounds of gentle waves and annoyed seagulls that I had disturbed from their peaceful beach.
After 7 hours of intense searching, David’s ring stubbornly refused to give up it’s location. I had dug well over $40 in Australian coins, countless pulltabs, 2 destroyed cell phones, and 2 pairs of sunglasses. I don’t give up easily but I had to admit defeat today which is something I really hate. I had covered the area really well and from different directions but this ring just wouldn’t get under my coil….gggrrrrrrrr.
David’s ring is a Japanese style ring of white gold and silver which is hammered together by hand. David has only been married 4 months and it appears that his ring was 1 size too big…..a hard lesson to learn after venturing into the water with it on for the first time.
I will keep looking for this lost ring whenever I get the chance and I am determined to see it back on David’s finger where it belongs.
Stay tuned…………

Metal Detecting Kits Beach…Found – White Gold Wedding Band
Found Nov.19/2009- White Gold Wedding Band
Is this your Wedding Band?
They say Gold is where you find it…I found it at Kits Beach in Vancouver last night. A few friends and I headed out to search the low tide after a few days of heavy winds. It was raining hard but it was warmer then usual so I was good to go.
You can go out all night sometimes and not find any jewelry and other nights you make some great discoveries. Last night after a couple hours I found this beautiful white gold ring.
I was working the high cut of the water line and I was finding coins and bottle caps and then my next signal was this white gold ring.
At first I thought I found a silver ring, then I held it and right away I could tell it was gold by the weight. By the looks of the ring it could have been a recent loss but that being said it could have been lost this past summer.
If you lost your wedding band at Kits Beach and think this could be yours…Please contact me with the description inside the ring.
If the ring fits I’d be happy to give it back!
Thanks for reading my post!
I Love my job!

Metal Detecting Vancouver Beach for Hong Kong Gold Wedding Band
Last week I received a call from the Lifeguards at Spanish Banks Beach in Vancouver, they had a young couple from Hong Kong that couldn’t speak very good English and needed my Ring Finders Service.
I jumped into my car and headed to the beach to meet and help them find what they had lost. When I arrived and met Eugene and his wife I thought I was looking for her lost ring but after talking a while I figured out it was his 24k yellow gold wedding band.
He explains that he was swimming and on the second stroke not far from shore he felt the ring come off his finger. The only problem was both Eugene and his wife wasn’t 100% sure where he was in the water…This makes the search hard and I spent close to 3 hours in chest deep water doing a grid search, they both felt it was from the spot they showed me and west down the beach. I didn’t find the ring that evening and I couldn’t return until the next weekend at low tide.
When I arrived at the beach on the following Saturday I started my grid search of the same area but this time the tide was out and the grid search was much easier!
I searched in the rain and extend my grid west down the beach and no ring!
I wasn’t sure if Eugene and his wife might have came back the next day and found the ring, I emailed him twice but never heard back. This plays in the back of your mind when you can’t find what you’re looking for…
My instinctskicked in and I went against the flow and headed in the opposite direction and 30 + yards from my start point I found his beautiful 24k gold wedding band! This was no where near where they showed me but my thoughts are there is a ring out there…Find it!
I spotted the ring before my metal detector went over it and it was only half buried into the sand, the sand is very hard packed in this area of the beach and after 6 days of high & low tides it was still visible to the eye.
What I thought was about 1 1/2 hours of searching turned out to be 3 hours, in total for the two searches it took me close to 5 1/2 hours to find this ring…
I love my job!

Ring Testimonial…
I lost my wedding band over a month ago now and I was quite disappointed to say the least. I’ve never taken my ring off except for a few hours to do odd chores around the house for the last 10 years. After losing the ring, it felt like I lost a part of me. So I started scouring “lost and found” ads in the paper and craigslist hoping to find my ring. And this is how I found Chris Turner, on Craigslist, offering his service to find lost jewelry for people. So I contacted Chris, told him where, when and how I lost it. He said he’ll try to look for it but there won’t be any guarantee. I resigned to the fact that he won’t find it since it’s been lost in the lake for at least 3 weeks after calling him. But lo and behold, one beautiful Saturday morning he gives me a call to let me know he found it!!!! They say miracles don’t happen but it did, Chris happened. I want to take this opportunity to say thanks to you again buddy. Big Thanks!!!
Regards,
Jason
Metal Detecting 3rd Beach in Vancouver in 4 feet of water for a lost wedding band…
I receive a call at around 3pm on Saturday in regards to a lost gold wedding band at 3rd beach in Vancouver. The man tells me that he was at the beach swimming at low tide in about 4 feet of water when he felt the ring come off his finger.
The great thing is he made a mental note of the area using the lifeguard chair on the beach and trees in front of him in the far distance. This is amazing because it gives me a good chance to get close to the area the ring was lost in and this is very important because if you ever look at the ocean and say…Hey I lost my ring some where out there, can you find it? It’s like looking for a needle in haystack!
I had no chance that day to search as the tide was coming in and by the time I got there it would have been to deep. I checked the tide schedule and it was a higher low tide the next day by 1 foot and even high the next few days… We met on the Sunday at low tide and he showed me the area he thought it would be in…The ocean wasn’t that warm!
I started my grid search which is very difficult in the water and close to 30 minutes and cold body we went to the shoreline to talk about the location.
He asked me if the ring would have moved very much in the past 24 hours and I said not much at all as the gold ring is heavy and like all gold it works its way down into the sand. I took my ring off and dropped it at the shoreline and we watched as the waves never moved the ring, it slowly became covered by sand and disappeared.
I knew we had to find the ring today because if we didn’t the tide would have been to deep for the next week or so to search for it.
He walked back out to chest deep water and looked around and lined himself up with the lifeguard chair and said to me “it has to be around here” I walked up towards him swinging my loop under water and when I got to him I turned to the right about one yard and got a great signal! I knew it was his ring, I scooped up the sand and without looking I held the scoop up to him and his smile said it all!
Note to anyone who ever looses a ring in the water…If its chest deep of water…#1 Line yourself up with something on the beach…Log, big rock, exct. #2 slowly walk towards the log and count your steps or yards. When I get there we count the steps and this gives me a fantastic chance to get into the specific area that I need to find your ring!
I love my job!
