Cost For My Service
Depends; typically there is a flat fee in addition to a ring finding fee; Note that I cannot guarantee ring finding, but I have been very successful to date, I have FOUND every ring that was lost!
RENTAL AVAILABLE: my Fisher CZ21 underwater metal detector is available for RENT. It can be used on land & underwater.
Rental rates: Daily $150, Weekend $200, Week $350 ; deposit required.
Search Types
My focus is searching for rings & metal items underwater on scuba. I can also search for non-metal items in deeper depths if large in size. I will also search on land for any item.
Search Locations
My area of specialty is underwater and I also perform land searches. Search locations are most bodies of water (and land) that are located 4 hours from Toronto area. I will consider traveling further depending on the circumstances.

I am very experienced scuba diver with over 20 years experience & 1000+ dives. I am also a technical diver & I teach. The underwater metal detector was purchased for a CBC/Outpost/Survivor man expedition in which we were looking for items lost in a river system during the fur trade.
I have owned my metal detector since 2009 & am very comfortable using it.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Paul Davies jewelry finding services. (2025)
I would wholeheartedly recommend Paul
“After having a lovely swim at a friend’s cottage, I discovered one of my diamond earrings was missing. I was upset as they were a treasured wedding gift from my Mother. A few of us used snorkel goggles to search several times , but it was difficult due to the depth, low light and mixed rock/sand lake bottom and we were unsuccessful. Two days later, I found Paul Davies information on the Ring Finders website. I texted him and he responded very quickly. He asked some clarifying questions and we briefly spoke about the potential to find a small piece of jewelry on a lake bottom. Due to the sentimental connection of the earring, I decided to hire Paul and I was lucky he had time to do the search later that same day.
Paul was very professional, communicative and friendly throughout the process. The lake was a 2+ hour drive away from Paul’s location, he let me know his expected arrival time and also confirmed his departure time. Paul arrived at the time stated, was friendly, courteous, and quickly started the search.
I was so relieved and ecstatic when Paul found the earring. Paul is obviously an expert — using his equipment, knowledge, keen eyes and skill in jewelry finding!
I would wholeheartedly recommend Paul Davies jewelry finding services.

a HUGE THANK YOU to PAUL DAVIES (2025)
Early June 2025 while I was in Greece I was given a beautiful 18kt gold ring for our 10th anniversary. 2wks after our return, I was out on Toronto island beach chest deep & my ring fell off. We tried ourselves to find it with no such luck. I was totally distraught. Once I arrived home, I knew I had to do everything possible to try to find it as my heart was still in Lake Ontario. With my online search is where I located PAUL DAVIES… Paul really made a miracle come true. 9 days after the incident, here we go, we were about 200’ away from the shore chest deep… his incredible ability to really concentrate on my directions, within a few minutes, magic happened and he held my shiny gold ring above the water and said, come get your missing star. It was an indescribable experience full of emotions in the moment of realizing I was reunited with something that was so important and meaningful to me. So again, a HUGE THANK YOU to PAUL DAVIES, for believing in incredible happy endings. Paul really deserves a Gold Medal. Like I said, after all there is gold at the end of the rainbow.”

Paul Davies was used to answer my prayer (2015)
Paul Davies was used to answer my prayer. I had been doing the “spring cleanup” in my garden when I noticed that the most precious of all my earthly possessions, my deceased father’s gold wedding band, was no longer on my finger. This ring was a family heirloom, promised to my son as a memento of his grandfather’s love. I had searched the garden on my hands and knees, dug up the flower bed again and sifted through bags of yard waste, before giving up. My heart was deeply pained with the loss. I would have gladly given up (literally) anything I owned to see the ring on my finger again and to know that my son would wear it one day.
Although I was almost without hope, I decided to search the internet for someone with a metal detector. I came across Mr. Davies and contacted him. He replied to me quickly and came to my property in Toronto to conduct the search. Within 10 minutes, the lost ring was back on my finger! I will be forever grateful.
