Stephane Coutu

’m beyond grateful for your help in getting it back. (2025)

I’m actually the one who lost my ring, and I can’t even put into words how much this meant to me. I was in the water searching for over 3 hours, and at one point I broke down and gave up crying. It wasn’t about the price of the ring, it was the sentimental value that truly mattered to me. I’m beyond grateful for your help in getting it back.

Can’t say enough good things about Stephane.. (2025)

Can’t say enough good things about Stephane. Original communication was great. Stephane did his due diligence via text, and was very thorough. Took him about 15 minutes to locate the ring when he got here and all was good. He turned an unfortunate day into a much better day for our family.

Thanks again for everything. Worth every penny.

Stephane was a such a kind, professional guy. We wholeheartedly recommend his services! (2025)

I was devastated when I lost my wedding ring while swimming at the Sandbanks. With little hope of getting it back, my wife went online to find some kind of lost and found group for the area where she could post a message in hopes that someone would return it.

Instead, she found Stephane. I contacted him right away and am so glad that I did. Stephane was a great communicator. He asked lots of questions to pinpoint the area where the ring was lost and hurried over to look for it as soon as a storm blew over.

We Facetimed to make sure that he was in the right area. When he texted me after only an hour or so and asked if I wanted my ring back today my wife and I were so happy and surprised! Getting the ring back felt amazing and Stephane was a such a kind, professional guy. We wholeheartedly recommend his services!

Nothing but professional and thorough... (2025)

Nothing but professional and thorough. He asked a tonne of questions to prepare and in doing so he had fabulous results. So glad to have my ring back. Great job and thank you for your skill and perseverance.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart you didn’t just find a ring, you brought back something priceless (2025)

I still can’t believe it—losing my ring in the lake felt like it was gone forever. Then I found you, and everything changed. You are truly the best at what you do! Watching you work with such skill was incredible. I feel so lucky and grateful that our paths crossed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart you didn’t just find a ring, you brought back something priceless. ????????

Fantastic guy with great results! (2025)

Stephane is reliable and came to my home just when he said he would. Stephane was lovely and kind. He also made sure he wouldn’t be wasting my time or money by coming out to look. He asked a series of questions to determine the liklihood of us finding it. He found my ring in no time at all and I could not be happier with the result! Fantastic guy with great results!

Thank you again, Stephane.

He is also just a lovely human being who is so passionate to help reunite people with their irreplaceables (2024)

I was in total shock after losing my wedding ring, and just one month after the big day! I spent hours searching that lake and wandering the property; a whole long weekend stuck in panic mode. Finding Stephan, not the ring, was what I needed to do! As soon as I got off the phone with him, I felt instantly relaxed for the first time in days. He knew all the right questions to ask in helping me retrace my steps, and I was confident he would be able to help. And did he ever come through! He arrived the next day and was so proficient at finding the ring. He is also just a lovely human being who is so passionate to help reunite people with their irreplaceables. A lesson learned for me that weekend, and a metal detector souvenir as reminder. I’m beyond grateful to Stephan for his help.

Recommended 100 percent. Stephen you made everything better... (2024)

Truly remarkable stephen you are the MAN. What an experience truly unforgettable. You will never be forgotten. This man is the MAN for anyone trying to find a ring or something valuable. Watching him work in the water for 4hrs what patience and determination. Recommended 100 percent. Stephen you made everything better i can express my gratitude once again you are the MAN.

Thank you again

I am beyond grateful to Stephane Couto for his incredible work... (2024)

I am beyond grateful to Stephane Couto for his incredible work at Roblin Lake! He found not only his client’s ring but also my husband’s wedding ring that we had lost hope of ever finding. Thanks to his post, we were able to retrieve the ring on are anniversary! making it a truly special anniversary gift. Stephane’s dedication and expertise are truly remarkable!

Thank you very much Stephane for reuniting us with our rings !!! (2024)

We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your incredible help earlier that day.

Desperately after searching and scrolling through the internet, we came across Stephane’s previous customer review and decided to reach out. You promptly respond, reassuring us that you are going to find both rings. That conversation gave us a glimmer of hope. You showed up on time at the beach, and we could see the professionalism and dedication you brought to your work. Your meticulous gridding of the area led to an incredible outcome.To our amazement, Stephane found both rings within less than an hour.

We are incredibly thankful for your skill and dedication, which have restored not just valuable items but also precious memories and symbols of our love. Your assistance means the world to us, and we cannot thank you enough for your help.

Thank you very much Stephane for reuniting us with our rings !!!

You truly made the whole experience a positive one! (2023)

Thank you so much for everything that you did to retrieve the ring and make us feel comfortable! You truly made the whole experience a positive one!

So grateful for Stephane for going and making the effort to find my wedding band even after a week had gone by. I honestly didn’t think I’d get it back after losing it that day. I’m still amazed at how it was found and how quick Stephane was in having it returned to me. Life is indeed good. It was nothing short of a miracle for Amir and I! Thanks again!

So thankful for the recovering of my family heirloom. (2022)

Thank you, especially for coming on Thanksgiving Day. So thankful for the recovering of my family heirloom

I was in total shock when he called and had found my ring... (2022)

We stopped at the Cobourg beach on our road trip to stretch our legs and give my one year old daughter a break from the car. While loading the car back up I noticed my engagement ring was no longer on my finger.

My heart sank and I was devastated. We looked for hours but had no luck. That night we came across theringfinders and the next day I contacted Stephane. He answered right away and was ready to spring into action to look for my ring.

I had lost almost all hope but he assured me if the ring was there he would find it and would take as long as he needed to search the area. I was in total shock when he called and had found my ring in the sand at the beach. I couldn’t believe it! I really thought it would be impossible to find. Stephane even went out of his way to meet us close to an exit on the 401 when we were driving home to give us back the ring. We can’t thank Stephane enough!

Thanks again Stephane!! Clearly ‘never give up’ is your motto. (2022)

Success story!! Thanks again Stephane!! Clearly ‘never give up’ is your motto. I thought for sure after the first dive we would not see that phone again, but a few days later and FOUND!! SUCCESS!!

All your help with this is very much appreciated!

I am glad that I contacted right person for this retrive. (2022)

This was one of the great moment for me. I dropped my phone in the water on Sunday and contact immediately Stephane to help me. He is very friendly and take your lost very serious and try his best as much as he can. I am so happy to find my phone. He just dive in and found my phone in 5 minutes. I am glad that I contacted right person for this retrive.

Highly recommend Stephane! (2022)

Thank you Stephane! I knew right away when I did a Google search to see who could go in and find my phone in the water and came across you and Ring Finders. You basically texted me back within 39 minutes and then called to see how you could help. I really appreciate that you did what you could to become available to drive up to the area (about an hour and a half from home) to come and recover my phone. You geared up and headed out in the direction I showed you where I lost my phone. Luckily for me it’s so heavy that it didn’t float away, but still made it 10-15 feet from where I believed I dropped it. We searched for an hour and a half before giving up because of the dark weeds. Highly recommend Stephane!

Stephane, I cannot thank you enough for coming to my rescue... (2021)

Stephane, I cannot thank you enough for coming to my rescue. This ring is so significant to me. My grandparents and their love for each other was such an important part of our lives growing up, we learned about love and dedication, as well as the importance of family from them. This ring was given to me by parents after my grandmother passed and I have treasured it ever since.

It was also so nice to see how much you enjoyed what you do.

Thank you!

In a world that is filled with distrust and misinformation – we can attest to the fact that Stephane truly does live up to his reputation!!!! (2021)

My husband and I are so incredibly happy to have found Stephane.

My husband’s ring fell off his hand as he was wiping off some spider webs he got on his hands from our dock chairs. I rarely see my husband as upset as he was when this happened. We were both stunned and did not know what to do.

We are new to Buckhorn and having work done on our property and so we reached out to the wonderful people around town that have helped us so far. Unfortunately despite reaching out to so many people, it was very difficult to find anyone that could help us. The water conditions were not good. Cold water, lots of silt/wood, deeper water, and to make things worse – it happened late Friday afternoon.

We did not know what to do but we did know that the longer the rings stayed in the water – the less likely it would ever be retrieved. Then, as I was feverishly googling for help, I came across Stephane’s website. My husband reached out to Stephane and he promptly replied and agreed to come out the next day which was a Saturday. He had to drive 3 hours to get to our place! We were trying to stay positive and really did not know to what to expect but we did see some of the testimonials so we were quite hopeful. At least for the first little while but as time passed as as it approached almost 2 hours of almost non stop underwater searching, we both started to feel the excitement dwindle.

But Stephane never gave up. He was shivering and cold but continued to go under our dock, in the dark and blindly feel his way through silt, sticks and stones – until he finally found it! We were both in shock and disbelief!

Stephane is a wonderful and kind man. It is clear he is an amazing scuba diver but what stood out even more, he is commitment to help people when they have already given up hope. He works tirelessly to ensure he is successful not for the money, but for the satisfaction he gets out of bringing people so much happiness and joy!

It was truly a pleasure meeting Stephane. In a world that is filled with distrust and misinformation – we can attest to the fact that Stephane truly does live up to his reputation!!!!

We are so happy that we are now referring to our inlet as Stephane’s inlet:)

Thanks again Stephane!

I would strongly recommend reaching out to Stephane to find your ring! (2021)

It was a cool summer night, and the water was frigid but tempting.

My friends and I decided to go into the water for a late night swim.

A man should know what happens in water that cold… as George Costanza would say, “significant shrinkage”. It was the perfect storm to have a ring slip off my shrunken finger.

The next morning, I searched the bottom of the lake with no luck. On my way home from the cottage, I thought of renting a metal detector, but I was no Jacques Cousteau.

Luckily I got put into contact with another famous underwater explorer, Stephane Coutu!

Thinking I had lost the ring in shallow water, I told him to first search without his scuba gear. I was wrong…

With a small glimmer of hope and one last shot, Stephane came out on day two with his full scuba gear. His will and determination lead him to find the ring in deeper waters!

I couldn’t be happier with the amazing support and positive attitude that Stephane displayed throughout this process. For those of you who are in an unlucky situation like I was, I would strongly recommend reaching out to Stephane to find your ring!

Cheers,

M

Thank you for the incredible work you do... (2021)

Thank you Stephane, mere words cannot express our appreciation in finding this ring.

Nicole was heartbroken and devastated when she called me to say she lost grandma’s ring in the lake. I joined her at the beach and we looked, with the help of kind Cobourg beachgoers, but could not find the ring. Nicole was refusing to leave the beach until she had grandma’s ring. I am so thankful you came up in my google search, even more thankful you dropped everything to show up a mere hour later. You said to me on the phone, “before the sun sets, that ring will be back on Nicole’s hand”, a promised backed up by experience and in the end you were right!!! Your confidence settled our nerves and your experience is why anyone, who is heartbroken by a similar circumstance, should call you. The day ended with tears of joy, great relief and not heartbreak. Thank you for the incredible work you do. With sincere thanks and appreciation Gillian

Very happy with this service and will be recommending you to everyone... (2021)

Thank you so much for your help Stephane. Without you, it never would have been found. I thought I would have found it by skimming the water with goggles, looking at the surface. I never would have guessed that it had gone 10 inches below the sand. Very happy with this service and will be recommending you to everyone I come across across that has lost a ring

Stephane was unbelievable... (2020)

Stephane was unbelievable. Got the job done as advertised. He was the talk of the campfire that evening. I wouldn’t recommend losing your wedding ring at the beach. If you do, Stephane will find it.

We will forever be grateful to Stephane... (2020)

We will forever be grateful to Stephane. We contacted him and he responded minutes later, ready to help. Despite the rainy weather conditions, he was willing to head out and search right away. He was very professional and communicated with us throughout the whole process. You can tell he is very passionate and dedicated about what he does. Thank you so much Stephane!
