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!
Lost Ring Found in Larkspur, Marin County
Lost Wedding Ring Found in Larkspur
Wayne contacted us a few days ago to say that his wife Rosie had lost her wedding ring while gardening. She’d been pulling weeds, amending the soil, and planting new plants when she discovered the ring was missing. This was strange, because the ring fit snugly on her finger, and had never come off before. They had tried using a metal detector, but couldn’t find the ring anywhere.
When we arrived, Rosie showed us the front garden plot. It wasn’t large, perhaps 30 feet by 2 feet. We were concerned about whether our larger metal detectors would work, because there were railroad ties forming the front border of the plot, and a wall along the back side, and both contained screws and other embedded iron fasteners.
So we started by scanning the plot quickly with a handheld metal detector called a pinpointer. We found about a dozen nails and sprinkler parts, but no ring. Now we knew the top layer of soil was mostly clear of metal, but we still had the screws along the front and back to contend with.
We scanned the bed again with a larger metal detector set to discriminate out, or ignore, most iron. This is a tricky process, because if you tell the detector to discriminate out too much iron, you will lose the ability to find smaller gold targets like rings. But we had to be able to ignore those pesky screws.
It worked. About 5-6 inches deep in the soil, buried under one of the new plants, we found the ring. It’s a beauty, inset with black diamonds, one of the most unique rings we’ve recovered. Rosie was very happy to get it back.
If you lose your ring, necklace, earring or other jewelry in the San Francisco Bay area, give us a call. We cover Marin County, San Francisco, San Mateo County, Santa Clara County and the East Bay. If you read some of the other stories in our blog, you’ll see that we can detect jewelry buried deeply in sand, mud, and soil.

Metal Detecting…Night Hunt for lost Gold at Locarno Beach, Vancouver
I received a call from Chris who lost his wedding band while setting up his camera to take some pictures of the city from Locarno Beach in Vancouver. The thing was he didn’t know when the ring came off, this makes it hard to locate the ring as the area could be huge.
After talking to Chris on the phone he new he had it on when he left his car and when he got back to his car it was gone. He sent me a google map of the area as he couldn’t meet me, this was a great way to get a feel for the search area and I felt confident I could find the ring.
20 minutes after a started my search I found his ring at 3:30 am near the top of the search area on the picture above…I love it when I get lucky and pick the right area to start the grid search. It could have been a much longer search!
I love my job!

2 Lost Rings in the UBC Area / Spanish Banks…Found
Smiles are the best things we find! I got a call from a young lady that tells me she lost two rings while on a big water slide that was made for a party with lots of friends. The rings meant a lot to Fran and she thought she’d never see the rings again so she was going to rent a metal detector and went on line and found The Ring Finders Directory.
My wife and I met Fran at 8PM just before it got dark and she showed us the huge hill where they had the slide that weekend. I could see the flatten grass where the slide was placed and this helped with our grid search.
After just minutes of turning on my big flood light we found one ring that was flattened into the ground. After a 14 hour day at work then 2 hours into the search we decided to call it a night. I knew it would take daylight to find the second ring as it was hard to do a grid in the low light we had.
We sent a picture of the ring to Fran and told her we’d go out and search on the weekend for the gold & jade ring. I went out and bought a new metal detector(Whites V3i) and I was excited to give it a go, our son wanted to join the search and Beverley and I were excited to have him as the search area was pretty huge.
I wasn’t feeling all that great when we got there and it was a hot day so I slowly started to set up my new detector and Jamie ask me if he could give it a go, I said sure and his mother let him use the Whites XLT that she was going to use. I just started to grid search when I hear Jamie and Beverley shouting…Found It! Found It! I’m thinking found what? It was almost like Jamie walked right to the ring!
With such a big area to search that day Jamie knocked it out of the park! I was so proud of him and happy to know that I could go home and rest…Like his mother he has the knack of find what people thought was lost forever.
I love my job & family!

Found..Lost Gold Ring at English Bay Beach, Vancouver BC
Last night I went to sleep at 11:45 pm and I was planning on getting up at 3:am to go to the beach with a friend and do a beach hunt.
Minutes before midnight I awake to a phone call…911… someone lost their ring at the beach and wanted to know if I could help find it.
After taking notes of the location the ring was lost at I decide to search for it ASAP so that no one else would find it before I got there.
I get up and make a coffee and get ready to hit the road…The great thing was that it was the same beach my friend and I were going to at 4 am that morning. I wasn’t going to wake him up early so I went there to find the ring then come back to pick up my friend.
I get to the beach and I can see hand prints all over the sand in the area the ring was lost at, I know that I’m in the right spot, so I start my search.
After 10 minutes of searching in the dark at around 1:15 am I get a loud strong signal. I sink the scoop into the nice dry sand and I watched the sand sift through the scoop until I could see the beautiful color of gold!
After I returned home from the beach I had 30 minutes to make another coffee and get ready to pick up my friend and head back out to the beach.
I love my job!
