Lost Ring South Surry, BC…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

 

24/7 Metal Detecting Service/ If you have lost something don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP- Chris 778-838-3463

I got a text message in regards to a lost gold wedding band in South Surrey at a rugby field. After talking to the young man on the phone it turned out I wasn’t going to have to search a whole rugby field because he handed the ring to his coach to hold and unfortunately during the first half the ring is no longer in his coaches pocket…

His coach did not tell his player he had lost the ring until after the game. The coach spent the whole second half looking all over the sidelines for the ring, but unfortunately could not find it. He had to break the news to the player after the game. The whole team got together, joined arms and grid searched the area where his coach had spent most of this time during the first half.

Unfortunately, no luck, someone had mentioned to call TheRingFinders and he did.  After talking to the player and asking all my questions and setting up a time to meet the coach the next morning so he could show me all the areas to search. This became a huge challenge, unfortunately, he spent some time on half of one field warming up the team, then the other half of on the game field, along the sidelines behind the uprights and on the other side.

He did not know where the ring came out or when it came out of his pocket, but we did know it would’ve been when he pulled out his phone because it was in the same pocket. He told me he had pulled his phone out many times checking how much time was left in the game so this made the search area huge.

I spent 8 1/2 hours the first day grid searching areas he had showed me, but no luck, fortunately the caretakers for the rugby house came out and asked what I was doing, I told him I was looking for a lost ring for a rugby player. He asked what time his game was and I said I believe it was the last game of the day,  he told me that they have recorded footage of all the game and said maybe I should ask the coach or player to check the game footage and see where the coach was during the first half, and when he pulled his phone out.

This was a tremendous help as it put me in an area the coach forgot he was in, the next day after one and a half hours of searching bingo! I found his beautiful ring and helped continue this beautiful story of what it meant to him to get it back. I contacted his coach and I could tell he was so relieved and happy. I can only imagine how gutted he must’ve felt even though technically it wasn’t his fault. Things happens!

I love my job!

Lost Diamond Earring, North Vancouver…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your Ring/Jewellery/Cell Phone/Keys… A Trusted Service Since 1987- Call ASAP Chris 778-838-3463   24/7 Service

I received a call in regards to a lost diamond earring in a park, after asking a few questions it sounded like we’d have success finding this as long as someone else didn’t beat us to it.

I blasted off to the location and met the ladies husband who showed me the precise area where she believed the earring had come off  due to her granddaughter accidentally pulling it off while she was holding her.

I did my first passover of the area with no success. I cross grid and still no success. The young man called his wife, I could hear him disappointed thinking it wasn’t there, but this is a very small item and you have to be patient. It took about 10 minutes and I found her beautiful diamond earring.

I understand Metal Detecting because I’ve been doing it for over 50 years. Miss it by an inch miss it by a mile, you gotta go low and slow, and you have to exhaust the area. It was so nice to see his smile and hear the story of what that earring meant to his wife. I love my job.

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your engagement ring/ wedding band/cell phone/keys- Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP Chris 778-838-3463

I was enjoying a bit of a break up in the Okanogan when I got a call about a Lost silver Tiffany and Company bracelet in a volleyball court in Vancouver. Listening to the story I told the young lady I wouldn’t be back for at least a week but told her she could rent a Metal Detector and take a look for it and she did but unfortunately, she did not find it.

When I arrived back in Vancouver I reached out to see if she had any luck, she sadly said no… I went to the location and within five minutes, I found her beautiful Tiffany and Company silver bracelet, in memory of her grandfather..

This was surprising even to me, knowing it had been there for almost a week on a popular beach that could’ve easily been found by someone else.

The gods were with us! I love my job!!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your wedding ring/engagement ring/cell phone/keys? Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 Chris 778-838-3463.

I received a text message in regards to a Lost Ring at Wreck Beach Vancouver, unfortunately I was out of town on a bit of a holiday in the Okanogan. When the young lady told me it had been lost for almost a week, the chances were it could’ve already been found.

As we Ring Finders all know, peoples rings have such amazing and powerful stories attached to them, after talking to her on the phone I decided to cut my holidays short and race back to Vancouver Monday afternoon Labour Day weekend. It took me 7 1/2 hours to get to the location where I had to spend the night wake up and do the search early in the morning 5am

By approximately 6:30 AM, I had found her beautiful diamond engagement ring. I FaceTime them and saw her reaction. It was beautiful. I love my job.!!!

Lost Drum Key in Skaha Lake…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

If you’ve lost your ring or any jewelry, car keys, cell phones, Call ASAP 24/7  Service- Chris 778-838-3463

Taking a break up in the Okanogan and Detecting some beautiful lakes, I happen to be at Skaha Lake when a young man came up to me and asked me if my metal detector could find a stainless steel key. I replied yes and got him to tell me the story about this particular key that was lost in waste deep water two weeks ago.

He told me it was a drum key and that he owned it for 40 years and used it to tune up his drums at his events/gigs.

I thought maybe somebody had already found it because these beaches get detected a lot, I told him to show me the exact area where he believed it was lost and I’d take a look…within five minutes he had his drum key back. Not your typical diamond engagement ring or wedding band, but for him this was very sentimental. He was a professional drummer, and this was like losing a ring for him.

I could tell how happy he was to get it back. I love my job. Sometimes it’s just serendipity how we come in contact with people, he lived across the street and he’d been looking for the last couple weeks every day in hope that he might find it. I happened to be at that beach at the same he was there… Timing is everything!

 

I love my Job!

How to find a Gold Ring on Spanish Banks Beach

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your Ring or any jewellery, cell phone, keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late- Call ASAP 24/7 Service- Chris Turner- 778-838-3463

 

I received a phone call yesterday in regards to a Lost Ring at Spanish Banks Beach, he told me he searched for it that day but could not find it and came back the next morning and searched again in the sand. As you could well imagine it’s like finding a needle in a haystack, but that did not stop this man. He came back after work again to search for it when a Lifeguard came up and and told him to call ”TheRingFinders”

I raced out to the beach that evening to help this young man find his ring. You have to be quick these days because of the price of gold!  It has created somewhat of a gold rush on our beaches now…so many people Metal Detecting every day looking for gold jewellery.

When I arrived, I asked John to square off an area that he wanted me to search, within 10 minutes I found his beautiful ring. He was very happy because his anniversary was coming up this month and he said without it, it just wouldn’t have felt right. I love my job.

 

Gold found for Canadian Olympic Gold Medallist ”Madison Mailey”

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Lost your Ring/Jewellery/keys/cell phone? Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call 24/7  ASAP- Chris 778-838-3463.

My morning started with a phone call from a young man asking my opinion on what I thought the chances were of finding a gold bracelet on a bike path in Stanley Park Vancouver. I have my list of questions and it wasn’t sizing up to be a search I would attempt due to the size of the bike path and the chances of the bracelet landing there where someone easily could spot it.

After hearing a bit more details, he did mention that his wife went up a narrow path which caught my attention and made me come out to take a look because this is where we would have a slim chance of possibly locating it. We needed the bracelet to go off of the main trail onto the side of the path where most people won’t be able to see it.

Asking a few more questions I found out I was looking for a Gold Cartier love bracelet that was for a Canadian Olympic gold medallist who lives here in Vancouver, her name is Madison Mailey she won gold medal in last Olympics in Tokyo for rowing. Her husband I met came 10th in the world at the same Olympics also for rolling. His name is  Maxwell Lattimer. Amazing!!

When I met Matt, he told me the story behind the Gold Cartier bracelet and how it was engraved with ”Olympic Champion”  and that she had purchased that from her podium money they received when they won the gold. A commemorative bracelet, a reminder of the hard work and dedication, something to look at and remember that moment in her life that she won gold for herself her team and her Country.

OK back to the search in my mind the only chance we had is if this brace landed on the side of the path where the path was the narrowest, I told Max that we would walk it first to see if we can eyeball it and then I’d detect on the way back, I wanted to know approximately where she realized it was missing and where she came off her bike looking for it.

We got to the narrow part of the bike path and I just finished saying this is where we’re gonna find it. Max looked down and found the first piece, shortly after I found the second piece. It was a beautiful moment that I’m sure he’ll remember for a long time as will  his wife. I’m so honoured to be a part of this story and reconnecting them with Beautiful car love bracelet and the amazing story attached to it.

I Love My Job!!!

 

 

 

Vancouver, Metal Detector Guy

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

lost your Ring/keys/cell phones don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7 service Chris 778-838-3463

I received a call late last night around 10:45 PM from a young man who said his brother-in-law lost his wedding band and they were devastated. He asked if I could come out right away to help, but unfortunately, Vancouver has their celebration of light fireworks display attracts hundreds of thousands of people and they called right when it ended.

There was no chance I was going to be able to drive to the city to get to that beach so I decided to drive around the city. It only took approximately 40 minutes and I was there meeting the young man and his family and friends.

It turned out to be a pretty big area because they weren’t 100% sure where the rain came off they were playing football and volleyball. I had to start my grid search in two directions north south east west and within 2 1/2 hours I found that beautiful ring.!!! I get just as happy to people who have lost it to see that in my sand scoop. I was able to surprise everybody,  the reactions were priceless. I love my job.!
