  • Land/Shallow Water Search

Cost For My Service

I work on the reward basis. You only pay if the item is found, however I do have a call out fee of $50 which is required (gas money) even if the lost item is not located. If the search location requires me to travel outside a 30 mile drive radius from my house, the call-out fee may be greater and must be agreed upon in advance. The reward is up you each individual and is how much you think it is worth to have the ring (or item) returned to you. Everything will be in writing so there will be no surprises! Where required, all searches are performed with permission by property owners. (Contact for further info or details)

  • My prayer to God had been answered and He sent Jon... (2019)

    Item

    I do believe and I believe in miracles! So blessed to have had to opportunity to witness one!

    On July 5th I had visited the beach and lost my gold ring in the water while catching a football. In a split second I knew the ring had slipped off my finger and I was so devastated. I spent nearly 2 hours waist deep in murky water trying to feel my foot on the seabed for a ring but no luck. People were kicking up sand and boats nearby were causing waves to pull in and out to shore.

    Heartbroken I left with no hope of finding the ring. After a long prayer and a few Facebook posts later I turned to the internet and found Jon in the OH area with multitudinous theringfinders testimonies and I immediately emailed him. After an immediate response we decided to schedule the search Sunday and meet up.

    The day before the search there were numerous people in the area and a storm causing the water to rise and I was so afraid the ring would’ve moved from the area that I was in. The day of the search it took Jon no longer than 45 minutes to locate my ring in the swelled waters with his underwater equipment and I was FILLED with joy and relief! It was embedded deep underneath the sand and I would have never found it on my own.

    This was a ring engraved with the initials of my boyfriend and his father, which had been passed down and was a promise ring to me which I’ve had worn everyday for 2 years. It meant the world to me and I was so heartbroken to have lost it.

    I am so immensely grateful for Jon and his hard work to search and find my ring. My prayer to God had been answered and He sent Jon and his wonderful father in law for that search. He prayed over me and I am forever grateful for their service!

    God bless,

    Shelby

  • Thank you so much Jon from the bottom of my almost broken heart! (2016)

    Item

    Dear Jon,

    We couldn’t thank you enough for not only coming on the same day we called you, but at night and in the bitter cold no less!

    I lost not only my engagement ring but my wedding band that was only 7 months old.

    I was in a frantic hurry on a frigid cold Wednesday morning. I rushed to get my kids in the car and get the ice scraped off. When I got in my car, I realized my rings were gone!

    I had 2 very generous people come help me search my yard and after no luck and a full days worth of tears, I had almost given up all hope!

    That is when I stumbled upon theringfinders.com and found Jon B!

    I poured through 2 pages of blogged testimonies and decided to call!

    I’m so glad I did! Thank you so much Jon from the bottom of my almost broken heart! The 2 hugs that I gave you weren’t nearly enough!

    Sincerely,

    Andrew & Anell Pike of Westerville, Ohio
