You truly are an angel and others like you that reunite sentimental and valuable jewellery with their distraught owners.

testimonial for Chris Turner (2013)

I believe in angels and one knocked on my door on Saturday, August 3, 2013. For the 5 previous days, my family and I had frantically searched inside my house and in the garden for my cherished engagement ring.

I received this beautiful ring from my husband on December 23, 1967 and have worn it for 45 and a half years.My beloved husband passed away 13 months ago and my wedding rings and 25th anniversary band became an enormous comfort to me. I started wearing the rings 24/7 and even had the diamonds checked for loose stones.

My worst fear was that I would lose the solitaire diamond from the engagement ring. Imagine my horror when on Sunday evening, July 28th 2013, I discovered the engagement ring missing from my finger after watering my front and back garden. After searching and searching for my ring to no avail, I found Chris Turner and TheRingFinders on my computer. He came to my rescue on Saturday August 3, 2013 and located my precious ring in my back yard in less than 5 minutes.

I was completely astounded as my son-in-law and I had searched the area where Chris found it. Apparently, I had stepped on the ring and it was embedded in the dirt under the grass. I would never have found it on my own. I was overwhelmed by Chris' professionalism, experience, kindness and caring. To me that ring was irreplaceable.

Thank you so much, Chris. You truly are an angel and others like you that reunite sentimental and valuable jewellery with their distraught owners. I highly recommend Chris as I thought my beautiful ring was gone forever. It meant the world to me and am so thankful for Chris' help. I will never forget the sight of my ring in his hand as he presented it to me.

With my grateful thanks and highest regards,

Wendy Porter

****Happy Ending***

A big thank you to Stephane for helping us find this ring which was not only a family heirloom but also a meaningful event in a global pandemic.

My partner Rob (the cute ginger in the photo) was heartbroken since the weekend when he felt this ring slip off in the water at Aylmer beach. He was soooo happy that the ring was FOUND!!!

This ring was not just a family ring but his ring also had a personal engraving of a motto that he holds dear to his heart: “to save lives every day” (in Latin). He is a trained paramedic, ex-military medic (7 years) and now embarking on a new job working with the Red Cross, on the front lines of this pandemic; in long term care centers where the military had gone in to manage the pandemic and where the Red Cross is now taking over the work.

He is and will be saving lives every day!!! I’m so glad that recovering the ring is a reaffirming of this important promise and a meaningful moment for this front line health care worker (who saves MY life every day!!).

Thanks to Stephane, Ottawa Metal Detecting, and TheRingfinders for helping us recover this meaningful family heirloom and personal item.

We were especially happy that rewarding Stephane meant supporting his family and he likes to donate some of his reward to Trait-d’union, a local Outaouais organization that supports autism. Basically a win-win!!!

Thanks Stephane for being our hero on this one ????

Thanks sooo much for helping my daughter find the ring. She was so sad and when we heard it was found we were so happy. My wife Cheryl had been praying for Gods hand in this search. Prayers answered! Also heard you are writing a book and would be happy to assist in any design needs.

Thanks again Tim!

testimonial for Stan Ross (2020)

My fiance had just finished his proposal to me and we were beginning to take pictures with my new ring. We were attempting to take a picture with the ring in the sand and as our photographer was focusing-in on the ring, a wave came and swept the ring away. Our photographer frantically began to dig around the area to look for the ring, and my fiance immediately jumped into the water. I followed him and we were both waist deep in the water, grabbing at anything that felt like it could be my ring but would only turn out to be shells and debri every time. 30 minutes passed and we still couldn't find the ring, my worst nightmare was becoming a reality and as the sun began to set, I started to believe that my ring was gone forever.

I called my brother and asked him what we should do and he googled The Ring Finders and Stanley was the closest to our location. My brother contacted him and before he could hang up the phone, Stanley was already on his way to us. Stanley arrived quickly with all of his equipment and began searching the area. We watched as Stanley scanned over the area where we lost the ring. Within a minute he scooped up the sand, and nodded his head with a smile. My fiance jumped up and shouted "No way!" Stanley found our ring! We were overjoyed and both embraced Stanley.

Stanley truly has a talent for locating valuables and allowed us to have our happy ending. He was very kind, professional and helpful. We will always remember how he helped us during one of the most stressful situations in our life. We highly recommend him to anyone who loses something valuable. Thank you Stanley!
