He made it clear that he wasn’t going to leave until he searched every square inch of my yard. (2026)
Ron was super easy to work with and he came out to my house in less than 24 hours notice. He made it clear that he wasn’t going to leave until he searched every square inch of my yard. He will be the first person I call if I lose any important jewelry in the future.
Thank you again for finding my lost wedding band. I can sleep better at night knowing it is back on my finger.

would highly recommend Ron to anyone who needs his services. (2021)
My husband lost his wedding band in our backyard on New Year's Eve while throwing a ball for our dog. I called Ron and he immediately came out since snow was coming that evening. The weather turned pretty bad during the hunt and Ron agreed to come back when the weather was more favorable. When he returned, he quickly found the ring and we were so relieved. We are beyond satisfied and would highly recommend Ron to anyone who needs his services.
Thanks again Ron!
