Lost Wedding Band in Coquitlam, BC..Found
I received a call in regards to a lost wedding band a couple of weeks ago and we set a time to meet to do the search today. This young man was taking down the Christmas lights and at some point while doing that and playing with the neighbours dogs he lost his wedding band.
He searched for days and had no luck in finding the ring so he went on line and found ”The Ring Finders Directory” and made the call…He explained to me that it might be a couple of weeks before I could come out to do the search due to his wife who was expecting any day.
Well he’s the proud father of a baby daughter, he called me to say to come over to find the ring and I knocked at his door this morning and we met.
While he was filling in the contract I stood on his front steps looking at the potential search area and as I was looking around I caught a glimpse of white gold in the red rocks that was in his garden under a small tree. I went over and pulled out his ring form the rocks and looked at him and said…Found it! He was pretty amazed as was I.
Sometimes you get lucky and my first find of the year was just that! I was a little disappointed that I didn’t get a chance to use my V3i but I’m sure there will be another search soon.
Thanks for reading my blog and you can watch the video on the link below…Unfortunately my GoPro was having some troubles so I lost most of the coverage…

Platinum Wedding Rings Lost at the beach in Pacific Grove, CA
Lisa called me on Sunday evening about 9:00 p.m., I was on another call out for Liam at the time. She told me she had lost her wedding set that day and was unsure if it was misplaced or if she had actually lost it at the beach she had visited that day. So I talked with her for a few moments and asked her to describe the area she thought she may have lost the rings. Luckily for me, the beach she described was on my way home from where I was at that time. I was unsure if I could get there that night to look for it or not, it depended on how long the current call I was on took, and I had to work early the next day so I needed my sleep. But the call I was on only took about 25 more minutes and I had time to go look for her rings. I called her and told her I was going to look for them and that I would let her know if I found them. Well let me tell you the place she described to me was perfect, I went to the spot on the beach that she told me of and found an imprint of a beach towel still in the sand. So I may as well start here, I thought. I put my headphones on, turned on my detector and took two swings. Overload! Wow! I scooped the target and carefully sifted two of the the three rings she described, I was so excited I called her immediately. I told her I had recovered two of the three but was sure I had heard the third and would be recovering that one as soon as I got off the phone with her. I did, it was laying about a foot from the others just under the sand. I am so happy I had my phone with me and on while I was searching for Liam’s ring. I met her the next day and returned her rings to her. Lisa told me that the center stone had been in her family a very long time, and that made me even happier that I was able to help her find it. Thank you Lisa!
Lost gold wedding ring found at Perth beach
Jeremy called me this afternoon as his gold wedding ring had been lost at the beach yesterday. He had put it to one side before venturing into the water but as he was packing up all of his beach belongings, the ring was accidentally left behind in the sand somewhere ?
I headed down this afternoon as I wanted to get to the area before the local kids with metal detectors hit the spot.
Jeremy had marked the area where he had set up a beach tent with his family so the location we were searching was no bigger then 100 square metres, surely the ring would be found ! I’ve done “easy” hunts before and have gone away unsuccessful so until the item is found then it is still “lost”.
Well the beer caps were plentiful (Corona seems to be very popular down here) on this section of beach but after about 10 minutes, I got a nice signal with my White’s detector. I scraped away just a couple of inches of sand and there lay Jeremy’s very nice gold wedding ring.
Thanks for the nice finders reward and I’m glad you got in contact with TheRingFinders.
Regards,
Tony.
Lost white gold ring “bubbles” has been found in Perth park
Vicky called me a couple of days ago asking for help to find her white gold ring that she thought was lost at her local park and playground. The ring was a wide band with a nice “bubble” design stamped onto the outside of the ring. Quite a few people had searched the area but unfortunately the ring was no where to be seen. They had also put a notice up in case anyone had picked up the ring.
I spent about 30 minutes detecting the thicker grassed areas, whilst eyeballing the flatter ground but was only rewarded with 5 cent coins. There was a small sand play area that I also hunted but it was clear of signals so I moved back towards the grassed areas but still no luck. In the mean time, Vicky’s Mum continued to look for the ring by scouting the ground.
Because the area was generally flattened grass, the ring should be easy to spot by eye but this was assuming that no one else had pocketed the gold ring.
I decided that I would check the sandpit again so I ran the search coil closer to the stone wall this time and quickly got a nice solid beep from the machine…..expecting another 5 cent coin, I was thrilled to see the glint of a silver/white gold ring with the “bubbles” etched into the ring.
I casually wandered back to where Vicky’s Mum was still scouring the grass and informed her “I just don’t think you will find it there…..because…..of this” and I opened my hand to reveal the ring in the palm of my hand. I really enjoy that part !!!
Thanks for contacting me and it was great to have another successful hunt.
All the best,
Tony.
Lost diamond ring has been found, South Beach, Perth
Ki contacted me recently via TheRingFinders as she had lost a very sentimental ring that had belonged to her Mum. Ki was kind enough to include a quick story of how the ring was lost as well as some nice photo’s. Here is what she wrote……
“The story behind the ring is that it was my mother’s engagement ring. Sadly mum passed away 15 years ago, when I was 13 years old. Dad’s been looking after the rings until about 2 years ago when he passed them onto me. I was too scared to wear them for the first 6 months and just kept them in a safe place.
After work on Tues went down to the beach for just a quick jump in the ocean, meant to take her rings off but forgot. Figured I would be careful and not swim around too much… Didn’t count on the dog knocking them off!
Pandora (the dog), loves to swim, but also always wants to be picked up in the water. She’s a flat coat retriever so it’s a bit of an effort. When she launched herself off me the ring got scraped off and went straight to the bottom. I was looking and looking, about 6 other people were helping, stayed in till sunset so it was probably about an hour, and then Tim went back the next day for another 2 hours.
Found you by googling ‘Underwater Metal Detectors’…
Had no idea there was such a service as yours. We thought we were going to have to figure out how to do it ourselves.
But then you came and managed to find it so quickly. I still can’t believe I have it back. I am so incredibly grateful. Makes her ring even more special!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!”
Thank you Ki for contacting me…it was great to see that ring back on your finger !
All the best for the future,
Tony.
