  • You weren’t just a professional with the right tools — you were a kind human being with the right heart... (2026)

    Item

    “Dear Paul, I’ve been trying to find the right words to thank you, and I’m not sure any truly do justice to what you did for me. After a big snowstorm in Toronto, I went outside to do snow angels — a carefree, joyful moment that quickly turned into a full-blown panic the next morning when I realized my wedding ring was gone. I had a strong feeling it must have slipped off while I was in the snow, but the thought of finding something so small in such a massive, white landscape felt impossible. I was overwhelmed, anxious, and honestly heartbroken. That’s when I found The Ring Finders and called you. From the very first moment on the phone, your voice was calm, steady, and reassuring. You didn’t rush me. You didn’t make me feel silly for panicking. You immediately shifted the situation from chaos to calm. It felt like you truly cared — not about the job, not about the money — but about helping a person in distress. You helped me breathe again. When we met at the spot where I thought the ring had been lost, you once again spoke with such kindness and reassurance before even turning on your equipment. Your words, your tone, your presence — they grounded me in a way I didn’t know I needed. And then, moments later, you asked me to close my eyes and hold out my hand… and you placed my wedding ring back into my palm. I was instantly emotional. Relieved. Grateful. Overwhelmed. In a situation that felt so frantic and upsetting, you were an absolute source of comfort and calm. You weren’t just a professional with the right tools — you were a kind human being with the right heart. You truly were an angel that day, Paul. A gem of a person doing work that means far more than finding lost items. You restore peace, hope, and memories that people thought were gone forever. I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me, and I will be forever grateful. With heartfelt appreciation” - Maurie

  • I can't recommend Scott enough! Great guy and very professional. (2026)

    Item

    I lost my wedding ring in the surf at Panama City Beach and didn't think there was a high chance of it ever being found again. I found Scott's number online and called him up. He seemed pretty confident if it was still there he'd find it - sure enough, he showed up and found it within 20 minutes!! He made our week for us. I can't recommend Scott enough! Great guy and very professional. I wouldn't hesitate to call him up again if ever needed.

  • Awesome guy and a huge help. Definitely worth the call. (2026)

    Item

    I was very grateful for Shawn coming out and getting this done for us! I had spent several hours myself swimming around in the cold pond just feeling around for it with no luck. I was holding out hope but also aware retrieval may not be possible but less than 10 min in the pond he retrieved it! Awesome guy and a huge help. Definitely worth the call.

  • Paul’s service was second to none! (2026)

    Item

    “Paul’s service was second to none! I had lost my wedding ring gardening, and after searching for it with no luck I contacted Paul. His response was prompt (texted him at 11pm) and was able to offer me multiple time slots to fit with my schedule which was much appreciated. Paul showed up on time and ready to work, and found my ring within a few minutes!!! Totally worth every penny! Highly recommended.” - Paul

  • I’m incredibly grateful and would highly recommend him to anyone who has lost jewelry or valuables (2026)

I called Paul around noon and he came to help after a couple of hours and found it in the water after only two minutes of searching. We were so happy and relieved! Paul was professional, kind, and clearly very experienced. I’m incredibly grateful and would highly recommend him to anyone who has lost jewelry or valuables.” - Tara
