Lost Wedding Band on Cypress Mountain, West Vancouver…Found!

June 19th, 2011 by

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Its been a slow start to spring and summer this year as we haven’t had a spring or summer yet…Heck we didn’t even have a winter! That being said the snow stayed on the mountains and that’s where I went for a few hours, a couple of weekends ago.

I found the usual change ($30.00) and a few silver pieces and lots of crapy metal things. I was packing it up for the day and as I was driving away the parking lot grabbed my attention as I started to wonder what could’ve  been plower to the side with all the snow. I drove about a 100 yards and stopped my car and got out to walk alongside the road to see if I could spot anything.

Well I walked no further the 10 feet past my car and looked down a spotted a gold wedding band in the dirt and gravel…

 

I didn’t even have my detector, talk about when its meant to be! The great thing about this ring was that there was a name and the wedding date inscribed on the inside of the band.

I left the mountain and when I got home I posted the find on the craigslist in hopes that maybe the person would find me. The hardest thing is finding the owner if they haven’t contacted me to do the search. Most people just give up!  I was at work and it hit me…Call the Ski Resort and see if anyone has reported it lost. This was a great idea as someone had, well we met today and he has his lost ring of nearly 4 months back on his finger.

I love my job!

Lost something? Call me ASAP!

Thanks for reading my story.

Lost Gold Wedding Band in Pemberton Meadows…FOUND!

April 11th, 2011 by

I had a very quick search the other day, as I got a call from a a guy who had lost his wedding ring while on a snowmobile trip up the Pemberton vally. We arranged a time to go up there and get his ring back. Matt picked me up from my house and we made our way up there. It was a beauty of a day, which was nice for a change as the weather has been cold and wet for some time. We got to the area where they were unloading their sleds, which was covered in snow 2 weeks before. All that was left was a snowbank off to the side of the parking lot. I walked around the snow looking for the ring before even setting up the metal detector as it was a small pile and I would be able to see it if it was there. After no ring in the snow, I looked to the side of the snow bank and down in the rocks was a shiny gold ring! We couldn’t belive I had found it so quick and without the detector. The ring was in a good spot kind of out of the way, between the snow bank and a big pile of rocks. It had been sitting there for about 2 weeks or so. Had it been out in the open, chances are someone would have seen it and picked it up. Matt was so happy to get his ring back and I was happy to help. The ring had been on his finger for 21 years and now it can stay for 21 more. Thank you for the generous reward Matt.

I LOVE what I do…

Lost Platinum wedding ring search in Danbury CT

January 13th, 2011 by

On 1/12 i received a call from a man named Tim from Danbury ct who lost his platinum wedding ring while throwing his Christmas tree out.Tim told me he went out to the sporting good store and bought a metal detector and him and his wife spent 4 hours looking for the ring and could not find it.

The Danbury area was just hit with a massive snow storm that ended earlier in the day up to 27 inch’s of snow.So I head out a few min’s after i got the call. I Got over to Tim’s home around 9:10pm. Let’s just say the snow was deep over my knees good thing i brought my fishing waders with me.

Tim was not sure where the ring came off but was sure he had it on when he took the tree out. Tim throw the tree of the 2nd floor balcony so i started my search in the area around the balcony i could see where the tree landed and where he walk dragging the tree about 150 to 200 yards to the dumpster. I spent about 25 min’s grid searching the back area i was sure the ring was not in this area. Started to walk down the road scanning the snow bank along the side as we walked to the dumpster. Nothing there. We get to the area of the dumpster and Tim tells me there was a car parked in front to it and a truck to the other side so he only had a small area to walk trough to get to the dumpster. I could see where Tim and his wife had spent there time looking for it earlier there was a pile of snow that had been shoveled so that’s were i start to scan i sweep my coil over the pile 2 or 3 times and get i nice hit at about 6 inch’s stick my pin pointer down where the signal was to check it out. Scooped out a few scoops of snow and went at it with the pin pointer and there it was tims wedding band. Tim could not believe i found his ring not even a minute after getting to the dumpster area. You could say Time was excited to have his ring back as was his wife considering that ring has only been on times finger for 4 months.

Lost Diamond Ring in South West Vancouver… Blog & Video

January 12th, 2011 by

Tonight I received a call from a young lady who lost a very special ring, it was her diamond ring and she was heart broken that it was lost.

I was told by Jen that the ring came off when she was feeding crows from her patio, on the 4th floor of their apartment.  When she was throwing the food to the crows her ring came off,  she feared it may have landed on the apartment roof  next door.

We did a few test throws with a ring I gave her,  this  gives me the general direction and I started my search. Within 15 minutes I got a great signal that fell into the gold reading on my Whites XLT metal detector.

I moved some leafs and snow and saw the glint of white gold, I bent down to take a closer look and I could see the ring that was stuck into the ground, as it was walked on for sure by Jen and her boyfriend who had spent many hours with a rented metal detector, but had no luck finding the ring.

I was very happy to have found the ring for Jen, Its nice to know its back where it belongs.  It was nice meeting you Jen & Ryan! Thank you for generous reward Jen!

I love my job!

Thanks for reading my story!

Best,

Lost, Large GOLD RING in front of the Blackcomb Day Lodge…FOUND in the SNOW!

January 10th, 2011 by

I got the call last night, just before dark, from a man who had lost his gold ring while wrestling with his friends in the snow. I called Jonny back right away, he was very worried he would never see his ring again. The ring had a crest on it and had been in his family for many many years. something like this could not be replaced. He asked me if I was able to come up the next day and look for it, I told him he would be able to sleep better tonight with the ring back on his finger(I waste no time) It was dark and very cold by the time I got to Whistler. I picked up Jonny from work, his boss was very kind and let him leave for a bit so he could show me the spot. I did all the detective work and started to search. It took me longer to set up my detector than it did to find it. Two minuts in I got my first signal. With my headlamp on I started to dig, the snow was very hard and compact as there was about six people looking for it the night before. As I was digging away, Jonny was right beside me and out poped a BIG gold ring. He couldn’t believe it, he was in shock! I dusted it off and placed it in his good hand( he was a little banged up from his wrestling match in the snow) He was so happy and I was too. I love what I do! Glad I was able to help!

Lost gold wedding band search in White Plains NY

January 9th, 2011 by

Mike with his ring backReceived a call today from a gentleman named Mike who lost his wedding band yesterday. Mike just cleaned the snow off his car and was starting to walk back in to his house and stop to brush snow of himself when his ring slipped off his finger and landed in a snow bank and pricker bush’s at the side of the driveway. Rearranged what I had to do today and headed out for the little over an hour drive. I get down there and do a perimeter sweep in front and behind the bush’s Mike had a real good idea of where he was standing when I came off. Spent about 15 min’s checking around the bush’s in the snow bank fond a wheel weight no ring so I was sure it wasn’t in that area it had to be in the bush’s. Started scanning the base of the bush’s not more the 20 seconds in I get a really nice loud tone vdi showing ring scooped out 2 scoops of snow from the spot then scaned the snow I took out the signal was in there. Looked in the snow and there it was looking back at us. Needless to say Mike was very happy.

Lost Keys Found Yakima Washington

December 17th, 2010 by

Good things can happen in 10 seconds if you know the right questions to ask. This search was what I would call perfect. It began when I was asked by a friend of mine to keep a look out for a large set of keys he lost the week before.

We had both been working on a “Journey to Bethlehem” live production here in Yakima Washington. We had around 3700 people go through the village over four nights. His part of the production was to plan and build the sets. After the weekend was over, we received seven inches of heavy wet snow which stressed our buildings.

My friend had been using a rake to pull the snow off the roof, and when he went to go home he realized the keys he had in his pocket had fallen out. Due to the new snow he was unable to locate the keys.

I had been searching for a large silver earring that had been lost around the village, and he knew this, so he asked me to keep an eye out.

Well, I had searched the village 5 different times with my metal detector and was able to tell the nice lady who lost it “somewhere” between her home and the event, that it was not lost on the path.

My friend was there as well, working on taking the buildings down, so I decided to search for his keys next.

I asked him more questions about what he had been doing the day he lost the keys and what areas he had been working in. I thought it was logical that he must have lost it when pulling snow off the roofs and did not find it because it had been hidden by the snow.

I decided to start the search behind the buildings snow piles. I went to the first building and had been searching the piles for about three steps, when I noticed the keys laying in the melted snow pile.

It was over almost before it started. That is my fastest search to date and I will take a little luck anytime. It also helped to ask the right questions, and it was good he remembered where and what he had been doing that day.

He was glad to get the keys back, and I was glad to be a part of the search.

I usually ask so many questions before I take on a search the people must think I am crazy, but it really helps narrow the search down, and also gives me an idea if they really know with certainty in what general area they lost it. Doing a grid search takes time, and the more focused it can be, the more likely I will find it.

If you have lost an item of value, give one of The Ring Finders a call, we might just be able to help you out. Of course you will have to put up with a million questions :) , but it just might be worth it.

Lost Gold Wedding Ring in the Callaghan Whistler B.C. olympic park…Found in over 3′ of Snow!

December 7th, 2010 by

I recieved an e-mail from a man who had been xc skiing at the Whistler Olympic park and had lost his gold wedding band after hitting a jump and taking a tumble, not once but TWICE! lol. After a great day of skiing he was driving home and noticed his ring was missing. I called Jonas immediately, he was in the process of digging around in the snow trying to find his ring. I told him I could be there in 30 min and he met us at the gate when we got there he took us to the crash zone which was on a steep hill with about 4 feet of snow. I have to admit, when I saw the area I knew it was going to be a challenge. I hiked up and within 10 min I got a great signal and started to dig. Sure enough shining before me was a BIG gold ring. I was soooo happy to find it. I picked it up and pretended to search a bit more, as I got closer to Jonas. I told him ” Well, there is no point searching here anymore because it is not in the snow…It’s in my hand! ” The sheer look on his face was PRICLESS! I’m very happy I could help you get your ring back Jonas.

Thanks to Chris Turner for giving me the opportunity to help people while doing something I love to do.

I love my job too!
