He is so kind and caring, he made the whole experience very positive. He is our Ring Hero!" (2024)
"Brian was AMAZING! My daughter lost two rings in a field - both with great sentimental value, one vintage and irreplaceable. We bought our own metal detector and searched with no luck. Brian came out and found BOTH rings in about 90 minutes. He is so kind and caring, he made the whole experience very positive. He is our Ring Hero!"

Hire Brian if you've lost your ring/valuable. Just do it... (2024)
"Hire Brian if you've lost your ring/valuable. Just do it. I was fairly positive that there was almost no chance that Brian would be able to locate my very loved engagement ring that had somehow fallen out of my pocket while traipsing all over the massive 30+ acre park next to my home. Brian was professional, very responsive, thorough, courteous, and wonderfully kind and positive about the whole horrible scenario. I really appreciated him being upfront and honest with me when he told me there was roughly only a 35% chance he would recover the ring over such a large area. Brian went above and beyond when he spent extra hours (of his own time) searching for the ring. Against all odds, and to our utter shock, Brian located the ring (on his 4th visit to the site, 8 days after I lost it) when he looked in an area we hadn't even thought to have him search originally. I truly can't ever thank him enough for what he did. My still baffled husband said after the ring was returned to us - "Wow! You really are the Ring Hero!""

The title “The Ring Hero” may seem like a superlative, but that is truly what Brian Rudolph is. (2024)
"So, you know when you get into one of those desperate situations where you feel like your only option is to call a professional, but you have no idea if it will be worth the cost or if it will even work out if you do so? That was the situation I was in yesterday after losing my wedding ring in a volleyball match. Immediately when I lost the ring me, my team, and the opposing team (7 people total) all got on our hands and knees to comb through the grass in hopes of finding it. After about 20 minutes or so of not being able to find anything, I frantically searched to find a store nearby that had a metal detector in stock. I got the only one I could find and spent another 3 frustrating hours searching with the metal detector while dealing with lots of false positives until it was dark (while my teammates also stuck around searching by eye), and then continued for another hour by myself trying to use a flashlight to see if I could see the reflection of the ring.
After all of this I turned to the internet once again and found a Reddit post mentioning THE RING FINDERS network, which in turn led me to finding Brian Rudolph’s contact info. I messaged him to see if he was available to help. I was still a little frantic, but Brian responded relatively quickly to my message, called me up right away to get more details on the when, where, and how I lost my ring, and then we scheduled to meet up near the volleyball court the next morning.
I must admit I was skeptical. It was kind of a last act of desperation to get my ring back and I wasn’t fully convinced he could find it. After all, multiple people spending multiple hours searching for it could not find it. Well, I met up with Brian right when he agreed to be on site (he was actually earlier than me). He talked me through how he was going to search for it. I was hopeful but somewhat questioning as Brian said he would start sweeping the outer perimeter of the court, far beyond where I was (center court) when I lost the ring, and then work his way into the center. After maybe 40 minutes Brian had finished his search of the outer perimeter and center court without finding anything. I was pretty disheartened at this point, but Brian was optimistic and said he would try searching even farther out than the initial sweep, on the opposite side of the court that I was on. I figured there was no chance of him finding it there, but figured why not, let him try. I had nothing to lose. Not ten minutes later was Brian shouting out to me to come over. He had found the ring about 45 feet from where I lost it, in less time than all the other people who tried to help find it.
The title “The Ring Hero” may seem like a superlative, but that is truly what Brian Rudolph is. I cannot believe how quickly and easily he found the ring. More than that, he was incredibly optimistic the entire time, great at talking me through the process, and congratulatory when the ring was found. Throughout the entire process I did not feel pressured at all about pricing; Brian only asked for a small travel fee to cover him coming out and then a reward payment (whatever I thought was reasonable, he did not dictate how much or question the amount I suggested) that would only have to be paid if the ring was found. I really cannot recommend his services enough. I would have been fine losing the ring from a financial / materialistic aspect, it is after all just a thing that can be replaced, but the sentimental value associated with it is priceless and Brian was able to recover it for me. I am eternally grateful for that. If you lose something valuable, save yourself the headache and call Brian right away. He is worth every penny and a great guy in general."

Brian actually found it. I'm beyond relieved! (2024)
Brian found my ring!! I was hopefully optimistic, but I was honestly worried my rings would never be found. We have very extensive landscaping and they fell out of my pocket while doing yard work. After several days of searching on our own with borrowed metal detectors, my husband did a Google search for THE RING FINDERS. He was able to come promptly and searched for 2 hours. I was shocked Brian actually found it. I'm beyond relieved!"

"Hire Brian Rudolph - THE RING HERO! (2024)
"Hire Brian Rudolph - THE RING HERO! I tried finding my platinum wedding ring with a metal detector but I wasn't successful. Then, I planned to rent a better metal detector but after talking with Brian, I decided to acquire his true professional metal detecting services! Brian came out, scanned my property, and then he used his experience to search beyond my lawn onto the other side of the fence! Brian continued metal detecting and without giving up he successfully recovered my irreplaceable ring 35 feet beyond my second story deck, beyond the fence, over on the adjacent lawn and down the hill! Amazing! My wife and I are beyond excited and extremely grateful for Brian's expertise and passion to help people like us retain something as important as my special wedding band! Call him! He'll most likely end up being your RING HERO too!"

I highly recommend Brian for any of your lost sentimental items (2024)
"Brian Rudolph promptly arrived at my house at 7am as promised. I showed him the area where I lost my wedding band a few days before. Within 10 minutes of searching with his metal detector he found my ring. He was a super nice guy from the 1st time I spoke to him on the phone up until the end when he left. He was very professional and was just as excited as me to find the ring. I highly recommend Brian for any of your lost sentimental items and am fully confident he can find whatever you are looking for. A job well done!"

Brian Rudolph is truly my Ring Hero!!!" (2024)
"I was just gifted with a ring upgrade for our ten year anniversary/ push gift. I took off my ring and placed it on the dashboard and it was just my luck that I knocked it deep inside the car's internal parts. I couldn't reach it nor see it. I began googling how to dismantle my dashboard and sadly realized that was not a job for me. While on YouTube watching videos of the impossible I saw the Seattle Ring Hunter finding lost rings in vehicles and I almost cried because he was so far away....until I came across theringfinders.com!!! I entered my zip code and found Brian Rudolph, The Ring Hero! Brian responded immediately and explained the process. He worked with my difficult work schedule , met me at my job and even continued the search when I had to leave him to begin work! I held my breath when my phone rang and it was
Brian almost 2 hours after the beginning of the search. He exclaimed he had retrieved my precious ring !! He saved me thousands of dollars and never gave up searching when things became difficult as if it were his own sentimental piece of jewelry !!! Brian Rudolph is truly my Ring Hero!!!"

I found Brian at TheRingFinders.com and he was outstanding! (2024)
"My wedding band slipped off my finger in a park while throwing a ball to my daughter. I spent hours looking for it and even bought my own metal detector but still could not find it. I found Brian at TheRingFinders.com and he was outstanding! He quickly responded and met us at the park within hours of contacting him. He has high grade professional equipment and is very methodical. He set up a physical grid and painstakingly searched every square inch of the park for multiple hours to find my ring. I can't thank him enough! He was extremely professional and courteous. I highly recommend contacting him if you've lost anything valuable."

don’t be afraid to call the ring hero himself, Brian Rudolph!" (2023)
"Mr. Brian Rudolph was just the person I needed to get my girlfriend’s ring out of my van and he delivered in a timely manner. He is a kind human being who makes you not feel dumb about losing a ring in a van. This man stopped to pray with me about my current life challenges and he even showed me his grandkids on his phone. If you are in the DMV area and you lose a ring or small object, don’t be afraid to call the ring hero himself, Brian Rudolph!"

"Many thanks to THE RING FINDER’S Ring Hero, Brian Rudolph! (2023)
"Many thanks to THE RING FINDER’S Ring Hero, Brian Rudolph! When filling up fifteen recycling yard waste bags with autumn leaves, I thought my wedding ring fell into one of them. Actually, I was certain of that fact. Rather than empty out each bag and visually search for the ring, I contacted Brian. He was thorough and methodological in searching each and every bag with three kinds of metal detectors. He also searched all of the areas I had been at during my leaf work. On the fifteenth bag, we got a definite hit, but upon emptying the bag we only found a piece of aluminum foil. Quite disappointing! Continuing with endless optimism, Brian rechecked all of the bags. Still, no ring. I had given up hope by that point and I began packing up my shovel and tarp. Meanwhile, Brian started running the detector over areas where I didn't even recall having been. Boy, was I shocked and surprised when he found my ring! I'll definitely be more careful in the future, but if by chance I lose it again, I know who to call to get someone as eager as I am to find my wedding ring!"

HE FOUND THE RING! My husband and I were in shock. Genuine joy filled my heart. (2023)
"On a blustery day in November, I told my husband to give me his wedding band before he went to a medical appointment where he wasn’t allowed to wear jewelry. I said, “I won’t lose it.” Well…I lost it! I put it on my index finger for safe keeping, and with it being cold out, wouldn’t you know it, it just slipped right off somewhere in the hustle and bustle of dropping kids off at school. I scoured the places it might have been. My sister borrowed a metal detector from a friend and searched for hours. A whole class of kindergarteners were tasked to find the ring! Still, after a day of looking, no one could locate the ring under the piles of leaves covering the ground.
I got a tip about The Ring Finders on Facebook, and thankfully got in touch with Brian Rudolph. He was immediately on the case! I called him around dinner time, and he came out the next morning at 8 am to meet with me and go through the series of events. We traveled to few different locations to assess the details of the search, and then he set up his special equipment and got to work.
As the search went on, I started to lose hope. I eventually left to go back home and tend to my children, but Brian continued searching. At around 2 pm, he called me. By this point, I had already accepted that the ring was gone. Brian spoke with me about the details of his search and I nodded along ready to say “ok, well, thanks anyway!”
Then my doorbell rang. I was still on the phone with Brian, headed for the front door, when I heard him say the words, “…and that’s where I found your ring!” I looked out the front door and there was Brian, holding my husband’s wedding band out in front of him! HE FOUND THE RING! My husband and I were in shock. Genuine joy filled my heart.
From start to finish, Brian made this sad loss a fun experience. Finding the ring was icing on the cake. Even if he hadn’t found it, I had already told my family how much fun I’d had with Brian. He made the whole search feel like an exciting and optimistic treasure hunt, and I suppose the reason Brian is so successful at what he does is because he has such a passion for finding lost treasures and returning them to their rightful places."

The whole experience in dealing with Brian was unbelievable and life changing for me... (2023)
"I cannot thank Brian Rudolph enough for the work he did in finding my wedding ring. The whole experience in dealing with Brian was unbelievable and life changing for me. His level of service and dedication are the best I have seen in any industry in my life. I did not even know this type of service existed until one day after I lost my ring. A lucky search on Google brought me to The Ring Finders site and then to Brian's contact information. I immediately contacted Brian and his service was professional , optimistic , empathetic and he gave me peace of mind that he could find the ring. Brian traveled through a storm at night and in traffic to meet me. We went to the beach where the ring was lost at night during a storm to go over the reference points. He waited until the morning in his vehicle for the storm to pass in order to begin the search and found my ring by the morning. The world needs more people like Brian Rudolph. If you lost something of value or importance it is a no brainer to contact Brian. I am sure glad I did."

Brian is amazing and truly a blessing of a human being. Thank you so much! (2023)
"I unfortunately lost my wedding ring in the Atlantic Ocean in Dewey Beach near Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Needless to say I was devastated. In nearly 16 years of marriage I have never taken it off other than for a couple of minutes to do something I feared may damage it.
Over the last several months I have lost a significant amount of weight (approximately 60 lbs) and therefore my fingers have shrunken some. Not realizing this, while holding my 4 year old daughter, it somehow slid off in the water. I was sick to my stomach and although I know it can be replaced, the sentimental value cannot. Trying to put on a happy face for my wife and two kids for the remainder of our vacation was not easy (we immediately packed the car up and headed back home to Philadelphia).
Three days passed and on Thursday my wife saw the recommendation to check out “The Ring Finders”. That is how we found Brian Rudolph. Brian was nothing short of amazing from the very first call my wife made.
He traveled several hours to meet my mother (we had returned home to Pennsylvania at this point) at the section of beach where we were that dreadful day. Despite severe weather conditions rolling through that day he was still determined to get the search started. Brian sectioned off a portion of the beach and began searching in the water. Shortly after, I received a FaceTime call from my mom’s phone.
They were calling from the beach to verify a few things. After asking me several questions about how far in the ocean I was and my location out there in the water that day, Brian asked me how much the ring meant to me. My reply was simple! EVERYTHING!
He then held it up in camera view and exclaimed “Well I found it!!!” I immediately burst into tears in disbelief. I could not believe Brian had found my ring that I thought for sure was gone forever after three days of being in the ocean.
I can’t thank Brian enough for his determination and kindness. While I sincerely hope no one “needs” to utilize his services, I assure you that if you do, you are receiving top notch service from someone who genuinely wants to help. Brian is amazing and truly a blessing of a human being. Thank you so much!"

I can’t put into words how thankful I am for contacting Brian at THE RING FINDERS... (2023)
"I can’t put into words how thankful I am for contacting Brian at THE RING FINDERS. The experience with him was bordering a miracle! We were in the midst of readying our home for showings and I had lost my four rings four days before. I kept thinking they’d turn up for a few days but when we looked around at our decluttered show-ready house it almost seemed hopeless. My husband went through our outdoor trash can (God bless him), scoured our cars, etc, etc. With the rings missing for nearly a week, Josh told me that he had put a call out to this ring finder guy. Brian spent well over an hour on the phone with me asking questions about my routine, where I’ve looked etc. I was searching as I was on the phone with him getting ideas for places, guided by the questions he was asking. He really got me thinking about the week prior. As we got off the phone at some point he told me that he hoped I would call him with “tears of joy” by the end of the week when we had decided that we would have him come out to look for the rings at our house, if they hadn’t been found by then. Brian never pushed the envelope trying to get the finders fee (so to speak); he is genuinely interested in helping you find your rings. Later that night I was able to do just as Brian hoped I would - I cried tears of JOY! I found my rings in a fleece jacket that I threw on going down the stairs while being late for daycare drop off. And since there are four rings and they take a few seconds to put on, I thought I’d save the time and do it while walking. I never got to meet Brian but he seems like an amazing person and the perfect kind of guy for this job. It was an incredibly emotional experience and I could feel his genuine want to help as well as the joy we all experienced over the phone once I found the rings! Thank you so much Brian!"

Thank you so much, Brian! I definitely recommend this service for anyone who has lost their jewelry (2023)
"I cannot thank Brian enough for finding my engagement ring! This was an amazing experience as he made it very special for my fiancé and I. Brian was very personable and reassuring. I texted him the day after I lost my ring and he called me right away and asked if I wanted him to come to my house that night! He drove almost 3 hours to find my ring in the dark and was very successful at finding it deep in the grass outside of my house. He is such a blessing to be able to help us after we started giving up hope. I truly believe this happened for a reason and will help to strengthen our relationship. Thank you so much, Brian! I definitely recommend this service for anyone who has lost their jewelry!"

We thank Brian again for giving us the experience of a lifetime in him finding (at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay, might I add) a ring that meant so much to us. (2022)
Brian was paramount to locating my two rings -- one of them a three-day-old engagement ring. He was highly communicative throughout the entire process, from understanding where the ring was to actually showing up on site and doing the work. Although I was devastated at the loss of my rings in the Chesapeake Bay, I was comforted by his stories and experience with very similar losses. He made time and prioritized finding our rings in what I can expect was an incredibly "busy" season for ring finders. I cannot recommend his services enough. The fact that he was so knowledgeable, not only about the location where it was lost, but also the tools utilized to retrieve the rings, makes me confident that he can find any ring, in any condition! Don't hesitate in calling Brian for any of your lost jewelry!
We thank Brian again for giving us the experience of a lifetime in him finding (at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay, might I add) a ring that meant so much to us. We are REALLY looked forward to seeing the YouTube video of our experience and we'll continue to follow his channel for updates -- we love his videos!"

Brian thank you! You are my ring hero! Go "TheRingFinders"!" (2022)
"There was this inherited sadness that came along when I lost my wedding ring. It was a simple ring, but it signified so much to me and meant a lot to my wife. I tried hard looking for it without any success. Then desperation kicked in. I lost hope that I could find it. When someone suggested Brian Rudolph, a member of THE RING FINDERS directory, I was hesitant. Would he be able to find it? Is it worth it to go through the hustle? Well, I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. From my very first interaction with Brian I knew that something good was going to come out of it. Brian was very professional, sensitive, and encouraging. He didn't pressure me about anything, but allowed me to make decisions along the way. He also explained the process and he was very confident about his service. I started gaining confidence that he would find my ring. Brian's expertise and professionalism was very evident to my friend and co-worker who was there with me. The best part was finding my ring. When I lost the ring and thought I wasn't going to find it, I started to minimize its value. But when Brian found it, there was surreal joy. As a result, I discovered again the value and significance of my wedding ring! Brian thank you! You are my ring hero! Go "TheRingFinders"!"

hire a professional, don't be afraid to pay and support a genuine professional who truly loves reconnecting folks with their lost jewelry (2022)
"Brian Rudolph, a member of The Ring Finders is my Pendant Hero! I am still in shock, in awe and overflowing with joy! I initially spoke with Mr. Rudolph about 1.5 hours after misplacing my grandmom’s gold custom "E" pendant! He was kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, all the while managing my expectations that we were up for some serious hide-n-go-seek! Mr. Rudolph gave me very specific instructions about how to mark my location. He also advised that he would meet me at the 23rd block of Ocean City’s Boardwalk at 2:56am, and he did just that! We identified the sand location of the lost pendant, marked off the area with stakes and he used his top-notch equipment to diligently scan every foot of it! We covered 75% of the sand location and he prepared me for the possibility of Mr. Rudolph having to go into the water next to search the water location! Then...Bang! Boom! Beep Beep! He got a hit! Within 30 seconds of digging, the tears started flowing, as a man I never met before gave me his word that we would go the distance to find grandmom’s pendant! And Mr. Rudolph truly delivered on his word! This meant the world to me because I couldn't bear to have another part of my grandmom lost. She passed away in April 2020 from COVID, and she actually gave me the pendant at Thanksgiving 2019! We rejoiced together, prayed together and (of course) I cried! I could go on for days! But I'll end by saying, hire a professional, don't be afraid to pay and support a genuine professional who truly loves reconnecting folks with their lost jewelry (or whatever lost)!

If there’s anyone who is going to find your missing jewelry, it’s The Ring Hero!!!" (2022)
"I made this ring myself when I was 16 years old out of sheet metal at a blacksmithing workshop. I had worn it every day since I was about 17 (about 3-4 years) and I had taken it to several countries with me.
When I was wading out into the water at a beach, it flew off my finger and I spent about 20 minutes searching for it in about 3-4 feet of water with no luck. My heart sank. Although the ring does not have much intrinsic value, it is one of a kind and has tremendous personal value to me.
I located one ring finder about 40 minutes away who referred me to Brian who does water recoveries and lived much farther away. I really liked Brian’s "can-do" spirit and optimism. He was sure he could help me find my ring.
He looked up tide charts and drove almost 3 hours to where I had lost it. After looking for about 2 hours, he slept in his car to catch the low tide early the next day. With all of his hi-tech equipment, determination and enthusiasm, Brian was able to locate my ring an hour and a half into Day 2 of his search, which I thought I would never see again. If there’s anyone who is going to find your missing jewelry, it’s The Ring Hero!!!"

I recommend Brian’s services to anyone that loses a ring, pendant, cross etc. (2022)
“More than a week has passed since Brian found my cross and I'm still talking to all of my friends about how he found it! I’m especially sharing with all of the soccer players that were with me when I lost the cross and they were all unsuccessful in finding the pendant after hours of searching. They just can’t believe that Brian found it! I honestly value the sincerity of Brian’s words when we arrived at the soccer field where I lost the cross. I didn't know him but he was always so very positive and Brian was so sure that he was going to find the cross. His positivity was contagious. With the passing of many hours, I saw the methodical process Brian used to mark all of the areas that he searched so he didn't miss any places. It was really an experience to see this and even when he didn't find it in the first 4 days searching, averaging 4 hours a day, Brian didn't lose hope and he kept encouraging me to stay hopeful. Every time he encouraged me to not give up, I would say to Brian, “IF YOU STILL HAVE HOPE BRIAN, I WILL FOLLOW YOU”. I recommend Brian’s services to anyone that loses a ring, pendant, cross etc. I personally didn't even know this type of service existed until I searched Google and found THE RING FINDERS and Brian’s name. Brian, thank you very much for finding my cross. I honestly will never forget this!”

We highly recommend Brian if you've lost any jewelry!" (2022)
"Brian Rudolph truly is our RING HERO! I lost my husband's wedding band while planting a large garden bed at a friend’s house and we truly thought it was lost forever. As a last-ditch effort we found and hired Brian Rudolph and miraculously he found the ring! He couldn't have been nicer, more responsive or more professional. He was methodical and thorough in searching for the ring, explaining everything he was doing along the way. We highly recommend Brian if you've lost any jewelry!"

He obviously knows his business. I recommend not to spend the money on a cheap rental detector - they're useless, call the professional out! (2022)
"Brian was truly great. If it had not been for him today, the rings would not have been found. I am confident that they would have been destroyed by a mower. Brian answered my call promptly and was decent and honest. He obviously knows his business. I recommend not to spend the money on a cheap rental detector - they're useless, call the professional out!"

I'm really beside myself with the level of dedication he has to helping people... (2022)
"I was out in the yard playing with my dog - somehow my wedding band flew off of my finger and disappeared into the grass. I felt it immediately and marked the area where I was standing in and began searching. An hour later I had bought a metal detector and spent the next two hours searching in and around the area in question. I ended up finding THE RING FINDERS and specifically Brian and left him a voicemail and a text message. He called back within an hour, let me know he was on another search, and if I was okay with it he'd be over the same night. He showed up at 10:30pm, set up his gear within 10 minutes and found the ring within 2 minutes, making my absolute day! I had spent the last 2 hours outside with a black light and a flash light scanning everything. I'm really beside myself with the level of dedication he has to helping people overcome potentially losing something so impactful. He ended our initial conversation with "I will find you're ring, and you'll be wearing it tonight" and said it with such confidence that I actually hoped to believe him. Hope wasn't necessary. Brian - good for you on being dedicated to your craft. I will refer you to anyone who needs you."

I could do nothing but shout, dance and thank God for you Brian! You are truly the best!" (2022)
"I have to first give praise to God for the blessing of meeting Brian. I was praying for the recovery of my Range Rover key when I decided to google this random number I came across which was Brian who specializes in the recovery of lost items. Brian was so nice and pleasant and he had told me to look at his reviews. Once I did check out his testimonials online, I had full confidence in him on the recovery of my key that was missing for nearly 4 weeks. Just when I was about to throw in the towel and spend $600 on a replacement fob, Brian came back in with the key after spending so much time searching on the outside and inside of the house! But to God be the glory, just when all hope failed, Brian had the key in his hand! I could do nothing but shout, dance and thank God for you Brian! You are truly the best!"

He’s a professional and an expert. Save yourself the time and the stress and call Brian!" (2022)
"Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made me feel calm right away and confident that he would be able to retrieve my ring. He showed up the same afternoon I called and worked quickly and efficiently, while still being so friendly and kind to our family (especially my kids who thought meeting a real life treasure hunter was the coolest thing ever!). I’m so grateful I contacted him and didn’t spend days worrying and fruitlessly searching. He’s a professional and an expert. Save yourself the time and the stress and call Brian!"

I highly recommend contacting Brian if a loved item of yours is lost - he'll find it... (2022)
When my husband and I got married, we were surprised and dismayed to find that my wedding band had gone missing right before our ceremony! We didn't let it ruin our day, but we decided we had to find my ring, and I found Brian.
From the moment I sent him a message, he was upbeat, friendly and as interested as we were to find my ring! I felt like I could absolutely trust Brian with the search and was relieved to not have to worry anymore about what happened to it.
Sure enough, Brian found it! I'm so happy and relieved that my wedding band is now on my finger and it's now a funny story we can tell instead of an unsolved mystery. I highly recommend contacting Brian if a loved item of yours is lost - he'll find it with a positive and open attitude!

Cindy and I cannot thank you enough and we will recommend you every time... (2022)
“As I saw my wedding band fly off my finger, I got that feeling of dread you get when you know that this isn't good. It was snowing and I was taking my dog for a late afternoon walk. She did what “she had to do” and as I took off my left glove to better manipulate the bag to pick up the waste, my wedding band flew off. I started to panic and began digging around with my hands in the snow and dirt. I brought the pup back to the house and told my wife that my wedding band was lost. I went back to look around some more and was joined by my wife. The snow was heavier, it was dark and now colder. We walked back to the house and I was devastated.
My wife who was thinking clearly did a search and found theringfinders.com website plugged in our Baltimore zip code and found Brian Rudolph. Although it was late, I sent a text and within minutes I had a call from Brian. His good humor and positive demeanor sold me right away that this was a man who loved his job and loved reuniting folks with their lost items. Whether it's an expensive wedding band or a sentimental piece of costume jewelry he will find it.
He came up to Baltimore Monday afternoon (in the snow) and we walked the area. He noticed a fence and calculated the coil he would need to block out that noise (this is an entirely new world to me). He went to his car, geared up and after two "pings" that were beneath the surface, Brian found my wedding band! I was ecstatic, and you know what? So was Brian! He was thrilled that he was able to find the ring that my wife put on my finger in December 2008!
Not only did I find a professional who did what he claimed he would do, I also found a friend. Cindy and I cannot thank you enough and we will recommend you every time a situation arises that you can be of service. Absolutely!”

highly recommend calling The Ring Finders. Brian... (2022)
“I cannot more highly recommend calling The Ring Finders. Brian, thank you so much for bringing your holiday magic to my house. I lost my wedding band off of my back deck three weeks ago and had almost given up on getting it back. We had spent hours looking for it and were broken hearted. You gave me hope from the first phone call and your positivity made me believe it would be found. You were out the next day and found it so quickly. It almost felt like a magic trick. I can’t thank you enough.”

Call Brian and he will definitely work miracles for you cause... (2022)
"This guy Brian is no ordinary ring finder! I ain't met anyone quite like him, ever! He came far out to find my daddy's ring that I got after he died. It’s just about all I got left of him. I was so upset when it got lost in my car. I didn’t know what to think. Wasn't sure what happened to it when I could not find it for 6 months. The car crash happened and I still couldn’t find it. So, I tore it up badly cause I only had a few days before the insurance company was going to trash it. Brian is crazy! A real pro at finding the impossible without giving up! He rolled in and said if my ring was still in the car he would find it for me and he sure did! I still can’t really believe it. I thought he was putting me on when he said he found it with his snake! I swear the car was going to be taken like in the next day or something like that! This guy saved my ring from the compactor! Call Brian and he will definitely work miracles for you cause he believes strong in God too. Thanks man, I ain’t gonna forget what you brought back to me!"

We will forever lift you in prayer for God's Grace and Mercy... (2022)
“Brian, thanks to your wonderful detecting skills and abilities, my spirit has been lifted and my heart has been unburdened. We will forever lift you in prayer for God's Grace and Mercy. Your confidence and reassurance from the time we first spoke over the phone gave me every reason to believe we were going to find my lost earring on our first scan. It was an amazing opportunity for me to bare witness to a person truly dedicated to bringing joy and happiness to others. This will be remembered as one of the best holiday seasons I've experienced since my early childhood. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!”

We found Brian on The Ring Finders and calling / booking him was the best choice we ever made... (2022)
“When my wife lost her wedding band we were in a panic. After hours of fruitlessly searching we couldn't find it, no matter how long we went over the area where she lost it at. We found Brian on The Ring Finders and calling / booking him was the best choice we ever made. From the very beginning (and until the end) he was unbelievably friendly, respectful, helpful and professional. He put our worries at ease as he put his expertise and mastery of his profession to work. He started in the day and even though day turned to night he never wavered. He said, “I will find your wife's ring no matter how long it takes me”. Sure enough, after hours of searching during the day, he found the ring after another hour of searching in the darkness. Brian and The Ring Finders are the best!”

I highly recommend contacting him if you have lost something precious. Thanks again Brian." (2021)
"After several days of searching and increasing hopelessness that we would ever find Kelly’s wedding ring, it dawned on me that perhaps there is someone out there with the equipment, training and most importantly patience and passion to search for this ring.
I found Ring Finders while conducting an internet search, and we were skeptical that anyone would even answer our on-line request to search for this ring, but someone did—he did so quickly, and it was clear with all of the caring in the world to find this significant part of our family history.
After my initial conversation on the phone with our ring finder Brian, I felt confident we found the right person. He arrived with a smile, and yes all of the ghostbuster gear to assist him in finding our ring.
We explained to him what happened, where we thought it might be, and he began his search. Under the deck, around the bushes, in the landscaping…and after an hour or so nothing but some of our kids lost toys and a bottle cap or two.
He kept us calm, kept us laughing about all kinds of trials and tribulations of life with kids (yes, they played a hand at losing the ring!) ….by the way our kids adored him and helped him (hmmm, maybe not) with the search.
He responded to all of their questions, and ours, about how he conducts his searches and what he is looking for on his equipment. When we started giving up again thinking maybe this ring is indeed forever lost, I began thinking it is irreplaceable, so what now? Then, Brian disappeared back to his vehicle….and was asking where our dog Milo was.
My wife and I kind of thought he really must like Milo and our neighbor’s dog Blu who was playing with Milo…after a few minutes Blu and Milo came marching back from his vehicle with Brian, of course smiling, walking along side of them. A cute scene, but it took us a minute or two to notice Kelly’s ring was on Blu’s collar—BRIAN HAD FOUND IT!
Kelly screamed, we all hugged and high fived, and the entire experience became one of the most memorable of our lives. He explained where he found it and how his equipment and our explanation of what happened gave him the clues to eventually locate it.
Suffice it to say we would never have found it, but Brian’s passion, perhaps fittingly, guided him to find it lying beneath our rose bushes. In the end, the process to request our ring search and find someone passionate about locating lost treasure, was easy.
There was no standard charge for his services, rather a donation for how much we thought his time was worth. Even if we had not found the ring, we had so much fun searching and getting to know our ring finder Brian that the experience was well worth the while—I highly recommend contacting him if you have lost something precious. Thanks again Brian."

We were so glad to learn about the The Ring Finders... (2021)
"We are so grateful that Brian Rudolph who was able to come to our home with his metal detecting equipment to search for a lost ring. He meticulously searched through our lawn and gardens using various devices.He was careful in the gardens not to hurt the flowers. After less than 2 hours, Brian found the wedding ring which had fallen off my husband's finger while playing basketball in the driveway. The whole experience was delightful. We were so glad to learn about the The Ring Finders - it was a much better option than renting a metal detector ourselves!”

Thank you so much for the safe return of a family heirloom! (2021)
“Brian, thank you so much for all of your help! My mother was extremely happy when I told her this morning that you found the earring, and I am so relieved that it is safe! Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your service! Thank you so much for the safe return of a family heirloom! When it was discovered that I had lost my mother’s gold hoop earring during graduation pictures, I was, needless to say, quite panicked. I knew that searching all of the grassy sites would be pointless, and was beginning to lose hope. I felt extraordinarily guilty when she told me that it was a precious gift from her sister in her youth. Sentimentally, those earrings were priceless to her. I knew I had to get it back, but didn’t know how. I mulled over my options, but none seemed plausible. Searching on foot proved fruitless. But then I found you - “The Ring Returner” after reading about you on the THE RING FINDER’S website! You were very proactive and had excellent timing. You went to the search for the earring the day I called you! You were meticulous and detailed in your search, as well as being extremely thorough and communicative and eventually…you found it! My mother was extremely joyful at its return, and now all is well…thanks to you! I am extremely grateful for someone who does an act so kind for complete strangers, and one can be sure to trust Brian for the safe return of their valuables. Thank you Brian so much!”

you've lost something precious, call Brian! (2021)
"One evening I was hustling to the gym in downtown DC, running late for a workout class. I took off my engagement ring and tucked it into my bag, but when I got home it was nowhere to be found. The ring has huge sentimental value - the band was custom designed for me, and the diamond originally belonged to my mother in law, who recently passed away. My spouse and I were heartbroken. I searched the gym - nothing. We were terrified that it had slipped out of my bag on the street... what would be the odds of recovering it then? After filing a police report, calling local pawn shops, checking eBay, and printing "LOST" signs, I thought if there was any chance of finding the ring on the street, a metal detector would be necessary. I stumbled across TheRingFinders.com in a Google search and found Brian's profile. When I called Brian, I was expecting a polite "please schedule an appointment" response. Instead, he spent over an hour on the phone with me, talking me through every step I had taken since the last time I saw the ring. He was extremely considerate, reassuring, and positive while digging for details to narrow down where the ring might be. He offered to come out that night, but after I got off the phone I decided to take one more look around our apartment. Brian had said that night time is actually a good time to look for a ring because it will reflect bright light. So even though I had already scoured our place, I turned on my phone's flashlight and looked again. Lo and behold the ring had fallen out of my gym bag, behind a piece of furniture and slipped down inside another container - but it was peeking out just enough to catch the light from my phone. If not for Brian, it would have been weeks, if not months, before I recovered my ring - time I would have spent grieving my most cherished possession. Brian's thoughtful and thorough consultation put me at ease that I had an expert on the case, and gave me the clue that led me to find it. He has clearly seen it all and cares a ton about the people he is helping as much as solving the mystery of each misplaced item. If you're in Maryland/DC/VA and you've lost something precious, call Brian! You won't find a better partner to help locate it. Thank you, Brian!"

If you are missing something of great value or importance to you please reach out to Brian - he is wonderful... (2020)
“I contacted Brian late on a Friday evening after I had lost my family heirloom diamond engagement ring earlier that afternoon. After searching and searching where I thought it slipped off my finger I put up signs and realized I needed a professional. Brian got back to me the next morning and was extremely kind and responsive. We spoke over the phone and he gathered additional information and then (since I had put up signs and searched already) we made a plan to meet the very next evening (Sunday).
I met Brian in the first spot where I thought I had lost it. He searched the parking lot as well as my car, bag, jacket - basically anywhere it could have gone missing. I was pretty certain it slipped off my finger and I knew the approximate timeframe, I just didn't know where it happened. Once again, Brian was so kind and incredibly thorough during the whole process. He went with me to two more locations where I thought it could have been. He kept talking me through everything and was so positive as we looked for the ring.
By the end of the search, we still did not find it. I was pretty sad but Brian was as well. It was clear that he cares very much and really wants to help people find their missing items. We had a good talk and he again helped me think through all my steps that day. As we did I mentioned that I had put away some laundry in a bag that day before I went out. He instructed me to thoroughly search the laundry and my luggage (I was away that weekend) and he told me that he believed in his heart I would still find it. I wasn't sure myself but his optimism was infectious.
Soon after I got home I let my husband know that I didn't find the ring but I had to search the laundry. An hour later I searched the bag item by item very carefully just like I saw Brian do as he searched my coat and bag. I got to the very middle of the pile and SURPRISE - there was my ring sitting right there!!! It had slipped off while I was gathering laundry and I had not realize for about two hours while I ran errands. I called Brian and he was so happy. I absolutely credit Brian with playing a major role in finding the ring and believe that if i had not reached out to him I may not have found it. Most likely the laundry would have been thrown in the machine and who knows what may have happened to the ring from there. Thank you so much Brian for all your help!
If you are missing something of great value or importance to you please reach out to Brian - he is wonderful and he will help you to the best of his abilities to get it back!”

On behalf of my entire family, thank you, God Bless, and Merry Christmas Brian!" (2020)
"One beautiful August day, my granddaughter, Journey, and I shared a very special moment as I handed down to her a delicate ring that had been shared by three generations, including myself, and my mother and daughter. Moments after receiving this most special gift, the sunshine on the lawn called to her and she found her five-year-old feet dancing with joy. That's when it happened. Horror struck her happy little face as she realized her prized ring was gone. Vanished. She desperately clung to her mother in silent sadness not sure how to tell me what had happened. Quickly, my son and his wife started scrambling on their hands and knees for what seemed like an eternity....but as the afternoon turned to dusk, the search was called off. My husband borrowed a metal detector and searched for days for the irreplaceable ring, still nothing. And that seemed to be that.
Until four long months later...
It was coming up on Christmas and Journey's mom had an idea. I received a phone call from Brian Rudolph with The Ring Finders. I assumed there was a slim shot of him finding anything, but his inspiring personality told me story after stories of glorious findings and said that there was more than just a good chance that the ring would be found. He didn't think four months was long at all and proceeded to describe a ring he found thirteen years later!
That very night he came with his gear to search for the ring. It was dark and cold and pouring down rain, and yet he searched. A couple of hours into the operation, he told me it was time to call it a night. I knew better than to have gotten my hopes up. But on his way out, Brian informed me that someone had just dropped a package in my mailbox. And there it was. Against all odds in my mind, a gift from Santa: the ring! Brian had found it! And not just found it, but made it a magical Christmas gift to be remembered and cherished for all time to come!
On behalf of my entire family, thank you, God Bless, and Merry Christmas Brian!"

"I have nothing but great things to say about our ring finder, Brian! (2020)
"I have nothing but great things to say about our ring finder, Brian! I emailed him while practically in tears at work a few days after I had lost my beloved engagement ring. He promptly responded and we spoke on the phone on my way home from work. He was so energetic and confident that he would find my ring despite the fact that we had already had 2 other people (in addition to my husband) metal detect our property and had multiple family members on their hands and knees sifting through leaves and dirt to find my ring. To be honest, I didn't think Brian would find it but I wanted someone with more experience with searching for engagement rings to give it a try before I completely lost hope. I wasn't eating or sleeping and I was in tears every day over losing my ring. Brian assured me that he wouldn't leave until the ring was found and to my surprise he found it after 12 hours of searching! It is apparent that Brian is passionate and determined in finding lost rings for people. Because of his determination, skills and optimism I get to continue to wear the gorgeous ring that my fiancé proposed to me at the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany! Thank you Brian, you're truly a good person for devoting your time and energy to finding rings for others!"

Thank you so much Brian! I’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone... (2020)
“So grateful to Brian for being such a good sport. He drove all the way out to Ocean City in the pouring rain and had nothing but a positive attitude the whole time. He found my ring in no time at all, took a couple photos, had a quick chat and was on his way. A (hopefully) once in a lifetime experience with an amazing guy. Thanks again Brian! It means the world to me!”

“Thank you so much Brian! I’ll definitely be recommending you to anyone who needs their ring found! We really do appreciate everything you did for us!”

Thank you, Brian! You're the best! (2019)
Brian took time off time from his vacation to help me find my wife's wedding ring that I had dropped on the way back from the pool. I was carrying it to our apartment so that it wouldn’t get lost at the pool and I still lost it on my walk back to the apartment. We found The Ring Finders online. He called me back within minutes of emailing him with my situation and he said that he could come out the next morning and help me. He did exactly that and found my ring in under 10 minutes. We had 4 people looking for it in the same places but couldn't find it! With Brian's metal detector and expertise it was found! It means so much to both of us that Brian was able to retrieve our original wedding ring. The experience was fun, easy, and efficient. Thank you, Brian! You're the best! It's hard to believe that there is such a nice, honest, kind, self-less person in the world that was able to help me with this problem.

If you ever need someone to find a lost item, Brian is your guy... (2019)
I contacted Brian to help me find my platinum wedding band that I lost in about 2 feet of water at a private beach in Anne Arundel County. I came upon Brian after googling tips for finding a lost wedding ring at the beach. Brian was very enthusiastic, courteous, kind, and his optimism about the situation was contagious. Even after not having success the first day he looked for it, he was still very positive, determined, and certain that he could find it. Brian went out of his way to help me by squeezing in a second search on his way to his vacation! The man loves what he does! He found the ring on the second search before I could even get to the beach to see how it was going, and I only live 5 minutes away! If you ever need someone to find a lost item, Brian is your guy. Super nice, friendly, optimistic, honest, and talented. People say I was lucky to find the ring. I tell them it was not luck, it was Brian’s skill and attitude. Lastly, based on my interaction with Brian, he’s not in this for the money. He’s truly looking to help people find their invaluable items and gets a huge thrill from helping them. Thank you, Brian!

I'm so glad that you were trustworthy ... (2019)
Thank you so much for helping me find my ring!! It was so amazing to me that a stranger actually wanted to help me find my ring, and not scam me like other strangers had tried to do. I'm so glad that you were trustworthy and took a genuine interest in helping me. Thank you so very much!

I hope you are treated as well as you treat others.” (2019)
"Brian..You didn't restore the ring, but you did restore our faith in humanity. I know that sounds silly, but your kindness gives me hope that there are genuine, kind, honest people in the world who would help me if I were in trouble. You came to my home and gave me something without expecting something back- I've never experienced that before. You deserve more than money. I hope you are treated as well as you treat others.”

You have no idea how thankful we all are for what you have done. You have a heart of GOLD and are one of the most thoughtful people I will ever meet. Thank you so much!! Bless you, Brian.

He's an angel, inspirational, positive and a life saver! There's not enough words to best describe Brian! (2019)
"As any young married man would do, I made a mistake. I went fishing and during a botched fishing rod cast, my wedding ring came off my finger. I jumped in the pond to try and save it but it was a failed attempt. After numerous hours of searching, I had the idea of searching for people that could maybe help me find my precious ring. I googled "ring finders". It led me to THE RING FINDERS and Mr. Brian Rudolph. I sent a text not thinking that I would get a reply and no more than 20 minutes later, I received a phone call. I stated my name and told him what happened and before I could finish, he said these words which I will never forget!
“Your ring will be back on your finger tonight."
I immediately broke down into tears on the phone. I never thought I was ever going to see my wedding band again. A few hours later and after a couple of phone calls back and forth, I met the man that I spoked to on the phone. An angel.
He got set up as my small family watched. He got right to work and 10 minutes later he found my ring! It was unbelievable! This man saved my soul!
There's so many more things that I could say about Brian but there wouldn't be enough lines on the paper. How can you describe someone that does what he does for others? He's an angel, inspirational, positive and a life saver! There's not enough words to best describe Brian!
I could never ever thank him enough!"

We cannot thank Brian enough for finding my engagement ring (2019)
I feel terrible that it has taken me this long to leave a review for Brian. I am Meg (the girl who lost her ring) and we cannot thank Brian enough. After multiple days in the terribly cold, snowy weather, Brian found my ring when I did not think it was possible. He never gave up, even when I had. He was not only amazing at his job, but he was seriously one of the nicest men I have ever met. We cannot thank Brian enough for finding my engagement ring and making my finger feel complete again! I cannot recommend him enough!!
