Greg Lewis's Bio
I got my first taste of metal detecting many years ago with my grandfather on a Whites Coinmaster. I remember it being heavy and bulky, but super cool with all the switches and knobs.
I have definitely upgraded since then, using Garrett and Minelab detectors, depending on the search.
I was born and raised in Oregon, and recently retired after 27 years in law enforcement. With my new free time, I’ve been able to lean into my hobbies, one of which is metal detecting.
I have a detector partner (another retired LEO) who has been known to join me on adventures. Being retired, my schedule is flexible, and I can often be available on short notice. Would love to come help you find that item you thought was lost forever, or come out and search your property for hidden/lost treasure you didn’t know was there.
Hope to help you out!

His positive attitude was reassuring, and he quickly was able to find the ring... (2026)
I sincerely want to thank Greg for finding my grandmother’s ring. I have always cherished it, but I must admit I was careless wearing it working in the yard. His positive attitude was reassuring, and he quickly was able to find the ring in the giant mountain of pinecones.
The little ring may not be very valuable, but means the world to me to have it back.

I couldn’t believe the kindness he showed. His generosity and willingness to help is something I will NEVER forget (2026)
I will never be able to thank Greg enough for finding my wedding ring. I had pretty much given up hope, and getting it back meant the world to me. He searched for 7 hours and drove from so far away to find a ring for someone he had never even met. I couldn’t believe the kindness he showed. His generosity and willingness to help is something I will NEVER forget. Nice to know this kind of incredible kindness still exists! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will seriously never forget him, and man, what a story to tell. Glad it had a happy ending, thanks to such a great man!

I can’t say enough about Greg and his customer service experience! (2026)
May 2, 2026 my wife lost her wedding ring. It was on a 4 acre lot and we looked for it for probably over 40 hours before I decided googling someone to help me find her ring and found “the Ring Finders”. I spoke with Greg on 5/26/2026 and he was able to come out the next day “today” with his specialized equipment and found it within two hours. My wife is so excited to have her wedding ring back. I can’t say enough about Greg and his customer service experience! What a relief finding her ring before someone builds a house on the lot. Thank you so very much! Deney & Stormie

I can 100 percent say we never would’ve found this without him... (2026)
Cannot recommend Greg enough! My husband was outside gardening and lost his ring at some point during the day. We had searched everywhere inside and were pretty sure at that point it had to be in the yard. But it felt hopeless. We had purchased our own metal detector but despite hiding my own ring in the lawn could not get the settings right to detect it. Feeling like we were out of options, I found Greg online and he came over the next day! Within about an hour, he knocked on the door with a penny… and after a quick demonstration of the different sounds he assured me the ring was on the ground right in front of us. I couldn’t see it but he insisted and finally it caught my eye. I can 100 percent say we never would’ve found this without him. He was amazing and we cannot thank him enough!!!

I would not have found my ring had it not been for Greg and Ring Finders. (2024)
Thank you soooo much Greg! People should know that in 10 minutes, JUST 10 MINUTES! You found my wedding ring. Easy as that but with great skill. Having previously spent hours over several weeks looking in the same area, trying to find it myself, I was simply amazed.
But the real find is Greg. He is friendly, easy to talk to, highly skilled and a man of high integrity. I would not have found my ring had it not been for Greg and Ring Finders.
