I was on the way to the beach and I got an e-mail about a guy that had lost a 14K white gold band on that beach the day before. I E-mailed him to find out the location. He called back just as I was prepping my gear.On the beach Jason said he either lost it on the vollyball court or in the water right in front of the court, he only went in waist deep. He even remembered what court he was on!

I checked the entire court only got a couple coins. Then I moved to the water. I gridded in front of the court from shore to mid waist deep. No Ring!

Then the thought occured to me perhaps he’s a big boy. If he was 6″+ his waist would be my chest.I wandered out into the deeper water and first target BINGO!

It took about 45 minuts to find.

Letter from Jasons Mom
Hi Ron,
 
My son Jason just shared with me his experience with you and his lost ring.  I am beside myself with disbelief and joy at the same time.  Disbelief that there are still such honest people out there with integrity and the willingness to do the right thing even if it’s not the most beneficial to ones self.  The fact that you found his ring and rather than selling it for a considerably better return on your investment, you are returning it to him.  Equally astounding is the way you found the ring.  I had zero hope that he would ever see that ring again when he told me he lost it at the beach.  It’s not even possible for me to imagine.  When I heard how you contacted him, targeted the area where he lost it and then thought to go out a little deeper in the water because of the potential that he was a bit taller than you I was astounded! 
The joy…now that comes from knowing how difficult of a time my family and my son have had of late.  We lost my husband after a long and shockingly violent illness.  My son was recently hospitalized with the same diagnosis only he got a warning shot and has time to turn around his health so he doesn’t meet the same fate as his Dad.  That will require him to make some very difficult lifestyle changes which in and of themselves are a challenge.  He hasn’t had a job in a while; being laid off after his employer packed up and moved to another city.  So he’s been a little down, with good reason, but he’s working hard at improving his health and to gain employment.  But all of that is not the reason that losing the ring was such a blow to him.  I didn’t know until tonight that there was an underlying attachment to that ring for Jason. My husband died a month before Jason’s wedding.  I didn’t realize that when Jason bought the wedding rings he took them to the hospital to show his Dad.  It was the only involvement my husband had in his son’s wedding.  Jason said that it always gave him some comfort that at least he had that moment.  That at least his Dad held the rings and nodded with pride.
 
So you see, what you do, returning valuables to those who thought they’d been lost forever, is important in and of its self.  But sometimes it’s more than that.  Sometimes, you give someone back that one irreplaceable symbol of a memory that cannot be replaced.  Just a moment in time between a son and his Dad.  This is what you have done for my son and as his Mom I will never be able to thank you enough. So I’ll just say, from the bottom of my heart, “thank you”!
 
May God Bless you with happiness and success,
 
Jennifer (Jason’s Mom)

Lost 14K white gold wedding band, Recovered! Chicago

Got a call from Kyle he lost his wedding band at a northern beach, told him I could meet him tonight. Took about an hour!

Letter from Kyle:

Ron,

I just wanted to send you a quick note the thank you for finding my wedding band in Lake Michigan. I am still so amazed that you found my ring after it sat for 24 hours in 4 feet of lake water, sand and junk. The moment you laughed out in the lake when you found my ring was seriously one of the happiest moments I’ve had in a long time. I was pretty depressed when I lost it, but that changed after you searched the lake for about 45 minutes. I think your video probably captured my reaction quite well. Everyone I tell is so amazed by the story, so needless to say, I have shared your website with a lot of people. I think you may end up getting a few calls from these people as it sounds like people lose their jewelry in the lake all of the time. Again, I am just floored by the fact that you found my ring. I have learned my lesson about wearing my ring in the lake, but if I ever lose anything in the future, I know who to call! Thanks again.

Lost White Gold Wedding Band…2nd Beach, Stanley Park, Vancouver…Found!

August 22nd, 2010 by

I just got home from the United States where I was helping one of our members from The Ring Finders on a big search that I will be writing about soon.

As I was getting close to home I received a call from a young man who had just lost his white gold wedding band. It was lost at 3rd beach at Stanley Park, Vancouver.

After talking to Mike, the young man who lost his ring, we decided to meet at 2 AM at low tide so that he could show me the area where his ring was lost.

I think he was surprised that I wanted to meet him at such a time but the only chance we had was at low tide.

So when I met Mike he showed me the area the ring was lost at, the water was waste deep and he felt that I was in the right area.

He told me that the ring was made from his wife’s great grandmother’s rings and that it could never be replaced.

Mike stayed for 45 minutes then he said he was getting tired and would wait to hear from me in the morning to weather or not I found his ring.

Less then 15 minutes after Mike left for home I got a good signal, I scooped the sand and there in my scoop was his white gold wedding band…

I called him right away as I knew that he’d still be up and he was very happy to get the news!

I love my job!

Thanks for reading my blog!

Lost your ring?

Call ASAP!

Wedding band found in grass parking strip – Denver, Colorado

July 23rd, 2010 by

Adam lost his white gold wedding band one night while walking to a friends house after a night of festivities at one of the local “watering holes”. Due to the amount of libations consumed the true path to the residence was not know for sure. Best guesses as to locations of stopping points to try to rid himself of severe hiccups seemed to be the likely spots of the rings disappearance. The search area could have been several blocks worth of grass strips within the public right of way. But with the information that I had in hand I began my search in what seemed to me the most likely of all the spots. I started my search in a grass strip that Adam had searched on his hands and knees for several hours. Within 10 mintues of search time the ring had reappeard under my search coil. I called Adam who was doing a visual search in one of the alleyways near by. He was a very happy man to get his ring back.

Lost Wedding Band at a Baseball Field in Port Coquitlam…Found

July 15th, 2010 by

First of all I’m chocked that I accidentally deleted the video that went with this smile…My flip video camera doesn’t allow me to recover the video when I mess up…

I received a call the other day from a young lady who tells me that her husband of only two years had lost his wedding band while playing Baseball, one week ago in Port Coquitlam.

I decide to search that evening after I finished work, I was to meet up with her husband after his dinner with friends. I arrived at the park at around 8:15 pm and there was a baseball game on so I just kicked back and enjoyed the slow pitch.

When the game was over around 9:20 pm I was getting ready to start my search and was met shortly after by the young man who had lost the ring. He showed me all the areas he was playing and warming up in, it made sense to me that the only time the ring would come off his finger is when he was pulling off his glove.

Because his glove was on his left hand and because he wouldn’t take it off while playing the most likely area for me to search was where he was warming up. I figured when he was running back to the sidelines where his team was getting ready he’d take off his glove and out the ring would go… At least that’s what I was hoping for.

It was getting dark fast and I told him that he could go home and I’d call him when I found it. I started my grid search where he showed me where he was standing while warming up and headed back towards the sideline.

It was going on 45 minutes and the mosquito’s were out in full force, I was thinking to myself that I’d come back on the weekend and search some more for the ring and I was getting close to the end of my grid when I received a loud signal on my detector. I turned on my flashlight and kicked the grass to see his 14k white gold wedding band looking back at me!

That felt so good to see! I quickly called him to tell him the good news and was greeted with a nice Thank You card from his wife and a kind reward for my efforts.

I Love my Job!
