Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Call ASAP  778-838-3463

 

I woke up this morning around 6 AM and checked my emails, there was one email that was sent at 12:51 AM.

Here’s what it said…

Hi Chris,

I lost my engagement ring in a park near Sexsmith Community school today. I have a vague idea of the perimeter where the ring might have been dropped but have not been able to find the ring tonight. Your help will be precious. Please let me know if you can help.

Thank you very much,
Anne Desplanches

I sent an email asking them to call me ASAP to discuss the search, I didn’t hear back as soon as I thought I would, my first thought was most likely they were going to rent a metal detector and tried to search for the ring themselves. This happens a lot and it makes me sad to think that some people may search and not find their ring and totally give up. This was not the case, I received a phone call around 12:15 PM asking if I could come and look for the ring. He also told me that he rented a Metal Detector but could not find the ring.

I met Matt at the park and started asking some questions, I had Matt cone off the areas he wanted me to search, it was a warm and dry day and hard to see the grid lines I make on the grass. After one hour Matt’s fiancé Anne showed up at the park to wish me luck. We talked a bit and I assured her that if the ring was there, I would find it.  I decided to go back into my north-south grid and do an east-west direction and use a different detector. This was a good move as I found the ring, it took a total of 2 hours and I was so happy! While I was taken pictures to text to Matt he drove up and saw me taking pictures, as he was walking towards me I started telling him I might have to come back tomorrow as the grass was to dry to see my grid lines…Then as we were discussing the details of the next days’ search I held up the ring to Matt and got his great reaction…

 

 

Matt went home to bring his wife to the park so that I could get a smile for the Book of Smiles…

Right place, right time, I bet this has happened to many of you over the years!

I went to Ambleside Beach early in the morning to do some metal detecting on the dry sand, shortly after starting my day I was approached by a young lady (Denise) who asked if my metal detector could find a diamond pendant. I said yes it can, then I started asking Denise if she knew the approximate location where she believed she lost it, she told me she knew pretty much exactly where she lost it.

After talking for a little bit and walking to the location a few hundred yards down the beach, I came to learn that this diamond pendant was a gift to herself and has a lot of sentimental value surrounding it… Her daughter bought her the matching diamond ring for Christmas, what a beautiful surprise!

Denise told me she drove all the way from Pemberton which is about a 3 1/2 hour drive to come back and look for it. She was at the beach the day before visiting when she lost her pendant, she drove home then came back with her friend to look for it the next day,  she was smart enough to make a rock shrine/pile so that she could come back and find the spot the next day. (Great Thinking)

While she was looking for her pendent a city worker saw her and told her there was a guy with a metal detector at the far end of the beach that might be able to help her…Me

Denise showed me the rock shrine and told me to search a few feet in front and to the right, after a few minutes and no luck, I had a few more questions, I started to search the rock shrine/Pile where I got a good signal and bingo!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Denise was so good at marking the area where the pendent was lost she almost buried it under the rock pile. What a beautiful pendant I was so happy to be able to find it for her.

I received an email a week ago in regard to helping a young lady find her husbands ring that was lost while throwing weeds over the fence in the backyard. After asking my typical questions I found out that the Ring had been lost two years ago, she saw something on Facebook about TheRingFinders that gave her the idea to call.

We talked for a while and she told me that they rented a metal detector but cannot find the ring, also that there were prickle bushes where the ring fell. I was very interested in the fact that the ring had been lost for two years and knowing that no one would’ve found that ring because it was just on the other side of the fence beside the road, nobody would be metal detecting for that ring there.

We made arrangements to meet in Aldergrove where they live, about 60 minutes from my house, in a weeks time. Today I met Justin & his wife Janelle & daughter, we talked a bit about where he believes the ring was lost and how it got there,  I was very confident I would find the ring so we set out for a little bit of a walk around the block to where the back of his fence was, thankfully Justin cut back the thorn bushes to give me a chance to sweep my metal detector over the area, I knew I was looking for a tungsten carbide ring so I brought a couple with me just to see a visual display number and show him how the detector works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found a few bits of scrap metal and within 10 minutes alongside the road by a ditch and only feet away from his fence, I found his wedding band that was lost for 2 years & 10 minutes!

My morning started with an early phone call for help to find a lost diamond ring. The young lady said that she lost it the day before and had been back to look for it three times, she even went out at midnight with a flashlight to see if she could see the sparkling diamonds in the grass.  Metal Detectorists will know that grass is very similar to sand and the ring can hide very quickly, that being said, gold is heavy and will work its way down into the grass and it was a good thing because when I got there in the morning they had just finished cutting the grass.

Olivia showed me the area where she had put her blanket down and enjoy the nice day in the park with her two twin boys. She was visiting with one of her friends and they were doing the social distancing and when I got there she shows me where her friends’ towel was and showed me where she was sitting. We were very hopeful the ring may have ended up close to where she would’ve picked up the tower. Unfortunately no such luck, we extended our search towards a bench where she noticed one of your friends and went with her baby carriage to talk to them for a while. Then she carried on along the grass to a walkway where she walked all the way back to her car, about 10 minutes away.

I doubled back to the first location as I wanted to really extend that area for the what-if factory. When we went back she showed me again where she was sitting but this time it was in a completely different area, she lined up with a tree that she had remembered from the day before. It really pays to ask questions and go back for a second look as it only took me a minute to find her beautiful ring. I was pleasantly surprised when I parted the grass and saw this beautiful ring looking back up at me, I was able to surprise her on camera.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I asked Olivia how she found me on TheRingFinders directory and she told me she posted the story of her Lost Ring on a Facebook page in Port Moody. So many people reached out and one person told her about TheRingFinders directory and to call me. People of Port Moody were so supportive! We were there for only 30 minutes and at least six people reached out to her to wish her luck while we were there searching for her ring,  she had no idea who they were, they read about it on FaceBook. Some came out to help look.

Today I received a call from a young man who asked if I could help his wife find her lost ring at her parent’s place. After asking a couple of questions I learned that she possibly lost it while she was pulling weeds and gardening. I excepted the challenge and set out to meet the young lady at her parent’s house. When I arrived I was greeted by Jatinder and her brother and daughter, we discussed the search and headed to the backyard where there was a high probability of the ring being lost there because that’s where she did most of the yard work.

The story behind this ring was it was Jatinder’s late brothers ring and as you can imagine could never be replaced. Like I’ve always said, every ring has an amazing story attached to it and that story ends when the ring is lost, my job is to find that ring and help continue that story.

After searching the backyard we moved to the front yard where she did some light yard work, still no ring. We had discussed earlier that there was a great chance the ring could be in the green bin with all the weeds that she had thrown away and was going to be ready for pick up in a couple of days. Thankfully we did that because after dumping the green bin and searching it, I saw her beautiful diamond ring in the weeds.

It was such a relief for all of us, I was confident if I couldn’t find it today it would’ve shown up in her home as she was self quarantining for weeks and never went anywhere. I often wonder how many people don’t even know they lost their ring and it ends up in the green bin ready for pick up and lost forever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The highlights of my day were finding the ring & her mothers home-cooked lunch/Indian food that was so amazing. We did discuss the COVID-19 and kept our distance and she assured me that her parents had not left their home for a very long time.

It was an honor to find your brothers ring for you, and thanks again for the amazing lunch and kind reward!!!

Today I was at the beach Metal Detecting and I was about to pack it in after about 5 1/2 hours when I got a phone call from a young man who asked if I can come help find his girlfriend’s ring that fell out of the window. When I got to my car I called Gary to get his address and head over to his place to take a look for the ring.

When I arrived I was met by Gary, we discussed the area where the ring was lost, the grass was short in some places and long in other places, enough to hide a ring for sure. Gary showed me the area where he said he saw the ring fling out of the window while shaking a shirt.

I had my Whites PI Pro with me and after only a few minutes of searching, while Gary’s girlfriend was watching from up above, I was able to locate the ring. The last two searches are making up for the 8-hour soccer field search Beverley and I did a few videos back.

For me it’s the excitement of the search and the thrill of the recovery! To see how you can make a stranger feel by finding what they thought was lost forever.
