testimonial for Tim Blank (2021)

Tim is the man! He did in less than a minute what I had spent hours trying to do. I honestly cried tears of joy when he found my wedding ring. I’m so thankful I found him, and will be recommending his services to any of my family and friends that could need them.

Chris is an amazing man and I am tearing up a little thinking about the kindness he showed while searching for my ring...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

Chris was amazing. He contacted us very soon after we reached out to him. He came out to meet us as soon as he could. His level of care and attention to finding something so small was one of the kindest things I have ever witnessed.

He works on a completely donation basis and only asked that we cover his gas if he was unable to recover the ring.

He worked diligently for over an hour, carefully searching the area in a grid pattern until he eventually found what we were looking for.

Chris is an amazing man and I am tearing up a little thinking about the kindness he showed while searching for my ring. It wasn't fancy or expensive but he knew that the meaning behind this ring is what meant the world to me.

I feel as if I could never repay him for the kindness he showed in helping me recover this important part of my life. I will be forever in his debt.

Thank you again Chris and if there's ever anything I can do to help you out, please don't hesitate to ask!

testimonial for John Snyder (2021)

I lost my wedding band last night while I was searching for my step-dad's hearing aids which he had also lost earlier in the day. My sister, her boyfriend and I had been searching the car feverishly and I slipped off my engagement ring and wedding band in order to fit my hand into a small crevice of the car underneath the front passenger seat that we thought might contain the missing hearing aids. Everything was so chaotic that I unthinkingly put my rings in my pocket; when I checked my pocket next, I was horrified to realize that my wedding band had gone missing.

  After searching the yard and interior of the car for two hours that night we became so exhausted and dejected we decided to go to sleep. We strategized that we would renew the search again the following day with fresh eyes. For six hours the next morning we combed the interior of the vehicle with a vacuum, hoping to locate the ring by examining the contents of the vacuum's chamber. My sister's boyfriend and I got on our hands and knees and methodically searched the front yard. We used a magnifying glass and repeated this process. We borrowed a wide-toothed rake from the neighbor: rinsed and repeated. Out of desperation, we began going door to door asking if anyone had a metal detector we could borrow: no luck.

  By this time we were soaked in sweat, covered with dirt and random detritus from the yard, and completely despondent. I began to think I wouldn't find the ring and decided I needed to call my husband and tell him the bad news. It was then that I began to really feel the full gravity of the loss and lose all hope of recovery. In a last ditch effort, I began to search for rental metal detectors nearby and came across a website titled "ring finders." I was amazed and admittedly a bit incredulous to discover a robust international directory of avid metal detector enthusiasts who professionally recover rings on a "reward basis." After some furious typing I found John Snyder, a retired navy veteran with an impressive number of success stories in his testimonial section.

  Admittedly a bit apprehensive, I decided to take a chance and reached out to him and told him the backstory. He immediately responded and reached the house within probably 30 minutes: it was quite amazing. On arrival, after initial introductions, he promptly began sweeping the yard with the metal detector while I watched, holding my breath. After a few passes with the metal detector (about 10 or 15 minutes), it wasn't looking good. He paused and asked me if this was the only area of the lawn I had traversed and decided to cast a wider net. He bent down after hearing something promising and "WOOSH!" When he straightened back up he had my wedding band in hand.

  It's difficult to accurately describe the elation, relief and sheer gratitude I felt in that moment and will feel for the rest of my life. Although a wedding band is of course just an object, the inextricable memories infused within it render it irreplaceable. I can't thank you enough for such a beautiful act of kindness John!
