Ron Shore - Testimonials

  • would highly recommend Ron to anyone who needs his services. (2021)

    Item

    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!
