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.

Lost 18k white gold and diamond ring has been found on Rottnest Island, Perth
I headed off early this morning to Rottnest Island, which is about 20kms off the Perth coast.
Laura had contacted me as one of her friends had lost her ring after being dunked in the shallow water. I think they were celebrating her friends impending marriage so losing the engagement ring definitely wasn’t part of the celebrations. Laura was confident of the lost zone. I got details of the time the ring was lost and checked the local tide tables and it appeared the ring was lost at high tide and I was searching at low tide. Hopefully the ring might actually be out of the water.
Well the beach was littered with countless pulltabs and beer caps. This was an area that had probably never seen a metal detector so the amount of digging was unbelievable. I spent the next three and half hours gridding the area but the ring wasn’t revealing itself easily. I rescanned the area at 90 degrees and my final signal for the hunt was the ring! The glint of the diamond was the first thing I saw and what a great feeling it was too. I called Laura with the good news and then headed off to the Rottnest Hotel/Bar for a well deserved cold beer(s) as the return ferry was 4 hours away (most upset about that!).
Glad that today was successful as it wasn’t an easy hunt after all.
Tony.
Here is a quick picture and video of the find…

Wedding Ring Found in Joseph D. Grant Park, San Jose
Lost Ring Found in San Jose
Jim competed in the Muddy Buddy competition in San Jose two weekends ago. The final obstacle was a mud pit the length of a tennis court, which contestants had to crawl through on hands and knees. When Jim entered the mud pit, his wedding ring was on his finger. Unfortunately, when he crawled out, it was gone.
Jim spent the last two weekends searching the mud pit for his ring. While the mud was still wet, he tried using a fishing net to strain through it. As the mud dried, he borrowed a metal detector and kept trying. Finally he found TheRingFinders online and called us.
By the time we got there, most of the mud pit was nearly dry (although we did lose a sneaker or two in the wet part). We searched for an hour in mud that ranged from four to eight inches deep. When mud is wet, it sticks like peanut butter to everything. When mud is dry, it’s hard to dig through. Either way, not a lot of fun to search through. But we finally found the ring right near the finish line, about five inches deep. A few more feet and Jim would have made it through with his ring on his finger!
Ring found buried deep in the mud

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!
Lost something?
Call me ASAP
Best, Chris Turner

Lost platinum wedding ring has been found at Cottesloe beach, Perth
Well today it hit about 30C so summer is just around the corner. The beaches were busy on the webcams so it came as no surprise to me that my phone rang with someone seeking help with finding their lost items.
Paul had left platinum wedding ring on his beach towel as he was aware that it was slightly large on his finger and he wasn’t going to venture into the water with it on. Well we all know what happened next, so with a firm shake of the beach towel, Paul’s ring flew off somewhere into the dry, sugary sand.
Paul contacted his wife immediately and she Googled for help and fortunately TheRingFinders website came to the rescue. I grabbed my metal detector and gear and drove down to the search area which is about a 45 minute drive from home. I didn’t want to postpone the hunt as the young kid’s armed with their metal detectors would surely find the ring that evening and it would likely end up in their own treasure stash.
We quickly marked out a large square in the sand and proceeded to hunt for his ring. There is never a 100% guarantee with finding lost items but I was 99.9% confident that the ring would be found. A $2 coin popped up almost immediately and my next signal (low tone for Platinum?) was indeed Paul’s ring. It is really nice to get a quick result especially after my last hunt was unsuccessful.
Thanks Paul for the nice reward and it is great to see the ring back on your finger.
Please feel free to post any comments and if you want to include a photo of yourself with the ring then that would be great.
Tony.
