Thank You ”Jay Durant” Reporter for Global News

I received a phone call from a young man who lost his wedding band at a park, he said he saw a story about my service on Global News that afternoon,  it gave him hope that maybe I could find it for him.

He also told me he had rented a metal detector and searched for it but could not find it. I always wonder how many times that happens where people rent or buy a detector and don’t find what they’re looking for and walk away.

When I met Jeff at the park, he showed me the area where he had put a blanket down while his youngster was playing, and when he got up, he shook the blanket and the ring went flying. It took me less than five minutes to find his white gold wedding band that he wore for six years. I have to thank Jay Durant & Global News for running a great story and helping their viewers find what they thought was lost forever.

I Love my Job!

 

I find things…That’s what I do! I was out detecting one night a few weeks back and I found an iPhone at low tide at 1 am. I put it away and it took me a week or so to get the little tool to open my sim card holder. This is a way I’ve learnt that I can find the persons phone number, when I put their SIM card into my iPhone I just go into settings, about this phone then I can find their number listed. I then take out the SIM card put mine back in and reach out to them. I’ve returned so many iPhones this way. I was happy that he called me back and we hooked up today and I gave back the young man’s phone, he was extremely happy and told me the story how it ended up in the ocean. A coworker threw it into the ocean… alcohol was involved lol… as I’m writing this story I received a text message from Adrian. He said when he got home and put it on the cordless charger, the phone worked… Amazing!

I received a phone call approximately three weeks ago in regards to a lost promise ring at Manning Park. After hearing the story and talking to the young lady, in regards to where she believed the ring was lost, and the fact that it was up in the mountains, approximately 2 1/2 hour drive each way, I elected to pass on the search at that particular time, as it was snowing up in the mountains. My van would have a very difficult time even with new winter tires getting there. (Rear Wheel Drive)

I gave her as much information as I could in regards to the fact her ring was safe and nobody would find it and she could probably wait till spring when the snow had melted and easily have seen it. The one thing that bothered me was she did tell me she was very close to the fire pit when she was wiping snow off of a friends  jacket.

That is the kind of movement I’m always looking for as her ring could come flying off due to cold & wet hands.Iit bothered me because it could’ve gone into the fire pit and who knows if they would’ve cleaned that out and the ring gone with it.

I kept an eye on the weather and I noticed we had a window of two or three days of sunny weather and I phoned her and asked if she wanted me to go up and have a look.

She was excited and said yes,  I took the drive up there through the mountain passes with no problems. When I arrived it was sunny and  it wasn’t too cold. I started my search around the fire pit, but had no luck, there was a chance somebody could’ve picked it up while making a snowball and threw it without knowing. I expanded my search area to accommodate that possibility and after a half a day of searching, I had no ring.

Day 2 I knew I had to attack the fire pit. It wasn’t going to be easy as the ash had frozen into blocks and I needed a special shovel that I fortunately carry with me to break the ice and scrape everything into a wheelbarrow where I can search each piece amongst some of the loose ash.

The fire pit was full of iron, lots and lots of nails and pieces of the iron bucket which makes it very difficult to locate a ring. My next thing was to go through everything peace by peace, and after a good hour or more of searching in the wheelbarrow amongst all the ash, I found her ring.!

 

Sadly, the ring was unrecognizable due to the temperatures of the fire, however, I found out that the young man had insurance on it and now I was going to get the ring back to what it looked like when he first bought it. What a smart young man to get insurance, you can tell by her smile she was so happy to get it back, looking back at it now it was a good thing. I did go up there before spring the fire pit. I’m sure it would’ve been cleaned out before I would’ve got there. I love my job. Such a nice young couple. Happy to be of service to them.

 

Here’s what it looked like above.

Gold doesn’t grow on trees, but it sure could hide there! I received a message from a young lady in regards to her husband’s lost ring, we set up an appointment for the next morning to come and look for it. The story was her husband was cleaning his car when he felt the ring come off. He heard the ping of the ring hitting a rock and then  he could not find it anywhere, him & his wife spent hours searching for the ring.

When I got there this morning, I met the young man and discussed the search area. Everything pointed towards the big hedges as a hiding spot for this Harvard university graduation ring, which meant the world to this man. Such a symbolic symbol, he wore on his finger for only a couple of months, for him, I’m sure this Ring symbolized all the hard work & the studying in order for him to graduate from Harvard.

I was excited to start the search. I felt confident I would find it, not quite sure exactly where but I had a good idea. After 30 minutes of searching moving the bushes, I heard the ping of the ring hitting a rock and I look down, and there was his beautiful Harvard graduation ring.

His ring was caught up on the branches of the tree, and by moving the tree I shook it loose! I love my job for so many reasons obviously to see the smiles and how finding peoples lost sentimental items affect them, also the detective work and trying to understand where these items will show up.

I was able to surprise Jonathan with his beautiful class ring from Harvard. I was just as excited as he was to see his ring the only difference is I didn’t work nearly as hard as he did to get it in the first place..

I love my Job!

There’s been a lot of people who’ve bought or rented a metal detector in hopes of finding their own lost jewellery. It scares me to think how many people may have walked away, thinking after they couldn’t find their lost item that it was gone forever. I have over 50 years of Metal Detecting experience and I have recovered over 500 lost items. It takes more than a metal detector it takes years of experience and know how to recover these tiny little sentimental items.

Not everybody can pick up a Metal Detector and understand how it works and find whatever they have lost. For example, it would be like me trying to fix my car when I have no idea how to do that, but that’s why we have mechanics who have years of experience, and that’s who we trust and go to for help.

This young lady lost a very special diamond earring that was a gift from her mother two Christmases ago, her and friends looked after practice on the rugby field, but had no luck. The next day in the pouring rain she went out again to look, a stranger stopped and tried to help her look bout no luck. She was thinking of renting a metal detector but found TheRingFinders while doing so and called instead.

The search only 30 minutes to find that beautiful diamond earring and her wonderful smile! I love my job!!

Lost your sentimental ring/watch/cell phone/keys… Call ASAP! The sooner the better 24/7 Chris-778-838-3463

I’ve been asking people how they find me online and I’m starting to hear people are using ChatGPT and finding TheRingFinders…Amazing!

I received a text message in regards to a lost Silver ring in a backyard, it did not sound like it was going to be a difficult search… But I’ve come to learn that some of the ones that sound easy turn out to be the hardest, and that was the case on this search that took over 2 1/2 hours.

Why it was so difficult was because of the amount of trash in this backyard that was causing my Metal Detector to beep on every inch of the yard. I knew I was looking for a high tone, but there was lots of high and low times everywhere.

I felt confident this ring was in the backyard so I continued searching until I did find it, and Murphy’s Law would have it that it would be in an area that it should not been in…

Always, always always think out of the box. I love my job! See you at the next smile!

I received a text message in the evening in regards to helping find the Lost Ring. I quickly called the young man and listen to their story carefully in regards to where they believe the ring went missing.

After 20 minutes on the phone, we decided to meet the next morning at the location, when I met, I was taken to a very large rock where the two were sitting and enjoying a game of cards and the beautiful scenery. He was winning in cards and his wife hit his arm playfully and her ring went flying. They both saw it, but could not find it and spent over three hours looking for it.

On the way back to the car, they went online and found my website and that’s how we got together, there was a lot of things that could’ve gone wrong with this search. When I got there, it was a flat big rock with a lot of cracks and crevices where a ring could easily hang up in, but I wasn’t seeing anything in the first 35 minutes, then I found the ring, so I thought, it turned out to be a test ring that he forgot his wife put on the rock. She wanted to see if the waves would take it away.

After surprising him with the ring to find out it wasn’t the ring it surprise me! lol, shortly after I found the beautiful diamond engagement ring in the cracks of the rock close to the edge, and if it had not worked its way into the crack it would have gone down into the abyss… I may not have been able to get into that pool of water. I believe it would’ve been way too deep even at low tide. Only married nine months they’re technically newlyweds, and I knew how important this ring was to find.

Hey smile says it all… I love my job!!!
