  • I still don't understand how it happened or how he found it, but I do know that we are so blessed to have come upon his website
    testimonial for Chris Turner (2026)

    Item

    My elderly mother lost her wedding band a week prior and we could not find it for the life of us. We searched and searched, and even borrowed a metal detector to search for it without any luck. We really lost hope but as a last ditch effort I googled how to find a lost ring and came upon the ring finders website.

    I contacted Chris and he came out promptly to search. Chris miraculously found the ring in under a hour almost sitting in pain site! I still don't understand how it happened or how he found it, but I do know that we are so blessed to have come upon his website and to meet Chris. My father passed away a few years ago so the sentimental value of the wedding band is priceless. Thank you again Chris!

  • I truly don’t even have the words to express our gratitude!
    testimonial for Rich Hageney (2026)

    Item

    I truly don’t even have the words to express our gratitude! Thank you so much for taking the time to search the Brandy Wine creek for my husband’s wedding band. After it had been missing in the moving water for over a week, we were hoping to find it. We kept looking and searching ourselves. My husband watching you actually pull it out of the water felt like an absolute miracle. Thank you for your patience, your skill, and for bringing back something so completely irreplaceable to our family!Thank you so much for taking the time to search the Brandy Wine creek for my husband’s wedding band.

  • We can’t thank you enough...
    testimonial for Joe Perry (2026)

    Item

    Thank you so much for finding our daughter’s engagement ring, she is absolutely thrilled! We tried looking for days with our own metal detector with no success. And even our neighbor across the lake came over with his own detector and had no luck. But Joe found it within a couple of hours!

    We can’t thank you enough, you were thorough and came prepared along with a positive attitude. And it was so nice visiting with your kind wife and adorable grand daughter!

    Thank you again!

  • Forever thankful and I will always highly recommend him!!
    testimonial for Shawn Sherrill (2026)

    Item

    I am still in disbelief that Shawn was able to find my rings. I texted him in the morning about my rings and he went searching the same day. All he had to go off of was some Google and Apple Maps screenshots of where I “thought” I had lost the rings. It’s a river and a small mountain road so no actual address. He was in an area with no cell service to call and verify with me that he was in the right location. He found the spot, walked through the vegetation to get to the area before the little rapid in the water and was able to recover what I had lost. Forever thankful and I will always highly recommend him!!

  • I am so unbelievably grateful for your help and dedication to finding my ring...
    testimonial for Joe Perry (2026)

    Item

    I cannot thank you enough, Joe! I am so unbelievably grateful for your help and dedication to finding my ring. I feared it was lost forever, but you went above and beyond to ensure that wasn’t the case. Today is the two year anniversary of my grandfather’s death. He was also a certified scuba diver, and I know he would have done all he could to help me get it back if he was still here. Your actions mean everything to me. Thank you SO much!
