Lost Diamond Ring at Vancouver Park / Playground…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I had a early morning search in a lake at Whistler, BC that took me 1 hour & 45 minutes each way. I arrived 7am to find out the the ring was lost in water that was over my head…I still tried by standing on a log near the dock and trying to detect around the area but after 2 hours I packed it up and called a diver from my directory to come out and find it.

Just 20 minutes away from home I got a call from a young lady who asked if I could help find her diamond ring that was lost at a playground. She found TheRingFinders.com online and called…I was on my way!

I met with the family and she showed me the areas the ring could have been lost then she took a cab to work while her husband & kids stayed behind. The crazy thing was that she put her rings in her pocket and when she went to put them back on all she had was her wedding band…Some how the engagement ring disappeared.

I searched the most likely areas like the swing and slide but no ring? I then started a grid from where they parked to where they sat on the ground and after 2 lines of the grid there was the ring slightly covered by grass.

Lost diamond ring at Spanish Banks Beach…Found after 2 days!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I was at work when I got a call from a young lady who asked if I could help her find her lost diamond ring. I asked where it was lost and when it was lost and she told me it was lost at Spanish Banks beach and that it was lost for 2 days and that she’d cried for 2 days.

She said that she happened to read a story online about a member of TheRingFinders and thought that she had to reach out and give it a shot.

I explained that there was a chance that the beach machine could have scooped it up or another detectorist could have found it as it was lost for 2 days.

That being said I was excited to go to the beach after working a 14 hour day because for me this is what relaxes me the most…A good treasure hunt!!

It was 11 PM and the young lady sent me a google earth map of the location where she’d lost the ring.

She said it was in front of the volley ball court # 3 or #4 I started my search and after searching all of court 3 & 4 I had no ring…Could have someone already found it? maybe or maybe she was a little off with her directions.

I expanded my search to court 5 & 6 and I found the ring minutes later in front of court 6 where she was sitting.

Lost wedding band at Sunset Beach, Vancouver…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I got a call mid day asking if I could help find a lost ring at the beach, I asked my normal questions in regards to where it was lost and there was two places it could be… one was the volleyball court and the second place was the ocean. It was a hot day so I kinda was hoping it was in the ocean so I could cool down but after 30 minutes or so I found the ring in the volleyball court!

I love the reaction when the young man and his wife when I found the ring! He told me he was in the dog house for loosing his ring after only being married for 3 weeks so he was very happy to have it back!

Unfortunately I lost the footage of this recovery and I’m so bummed as they were so happy to get the ring back and their reactions were priceless…Something I’ll never forget.

I love the stories of the rings I find for people and how much it means to them to find it. I have the greatest job of all I get to make people smile!

 

I love my job! Lost your ring…Call a member of TheRingFinders.com nearest you!

Thanks for reading my story!

Found 4 Gold Rings at Jericho Beach, Vancouver.

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I’m at work and the phone rings I was thinking maybe its a ring call…It was but not your normal ring call…The lady who is French Canada and visiting Vancouver with her family had a horrible experience at one of our local beaches…

She lost all 4 of her rings! How? She like others took them off to put suntan lotion on herself and her children, she put the rings on her towel. Hours later forgetting she did that she lifted up the towel and walked away.

Could you imagine the gut wrenching feeling she must’ve had when she looked down and saw no rings on her fingers!  As you could imagine she was devastated!

Her and her husband went right back to the area they had  spent the day and searched in the sand for over an hour but had no luck finding the 4 rings.

Not giving up, 2 days later she got online and found me on TheRingFinders.com she couldn’t believer her eyes as she & her husband never thought there was such a service.

A phone call later and a late night search vpervided a successful recovery of all 4 rings! What an amazing feeling for me and an emotional one for her!

Lost BVLGARI Ring…Found at Jericho Beach!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

The call came in from a young lady who lost her ring that her mother gave her many years ago, she lost it at Jericho Beach in Vancouver…The young lady found TheRingFinders.com because the lifeguard told them about me.

She went on to explained that they knew the area where the ring came off but just couldn’t find it. Amazing how fast the sand can hide your ring and how hard it is too find.

I grabbed my detector and headed for beach which was about 40 minuts from my house, when I got there it only took 5 minutes or so to locate the beautiful ring…

She was very happy to see her ring again her boyfriend went to the lifeguards to thank them for telling them about TheRingFinnders.com

Lost Engagement Ring Found at Crescent Beach.

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Last night around 8pm I was getting ready to go out and search the Vancouver beaches after the sunny hot day we had, and we haven’t had many!  Just before I left I received a call from a young lady asking if I can help her find her lost ring.  Of course I dropped everything I was doing and started on my way to Crescent Beach to help her.

After 6 hours of searching for the diamond engagement ring Jen & her husband went online to search for help and that’s when they found me on TheRingFinders.com. They said that they were a little concerned about having someone they didn’t know come out and search for the ring but after seeing the website and reading the testimonials and see all the smiles they felt more comfortable with the idea.

When I arrived I met  Jenn and her husband and they show me the area that they had searched, they told me a lady stopped and helped them and she recovered the wedding band.

This was good news because I knew that meant the other ring was close! That being said they didn’t mark the area where the other ring was found so it took a little while to find what I was looking for… but I did!

Garrett AT Gold… Finds A Lost Diamond Ring In Port Moddy, BC

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I received an early wake up call at 7:40 AM on Saturday morning from a distort young lady who was in need of help finding her diamond ring.

Nicole told me she lost it the other day and she couldn’t sleep worrieing about it. She also said that it could be in 2 places as she remembered it on when she went to school to pick up her daughter and just before she walked into her home she saw the ring was gone…???

These searches can be difficult because of the search area involved and the what if factor. Well I met Nicole at her place and searched the area she thought it could be…No Ring, I asked if she checked her truck and she said yes.

Off to the school where we searched the play ground and no luck, then a little walk in the gravel and on my very last grid line and the last signal I got a 47-48 on my AT Gold and low and behold there it was in just inches in the gravel.

That even surprised me! Funny where they show up! I so was thinking I was going to search and find it in her truck.

I love my job and I feel as good as the person who lost their ring…when I find it !!

Here’s the video of the search…

Lost Hearing Aid in Chilliwack, BC…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I just got home from the diamond pendant search and made a late lunch when the phone rang, I answered it and a lady said is this TheRingFinders and I said yes  and she said could you find a hearing aid? I said its very difficult because its pretty much all plastic and a tiny battery, but yes I believe it could be found.

She said she lost it on her property up in Chilliwack, I said we have a member who lives close to that location have you called him and she said no. I said to her that it was a 2 hour drive or longer for me due to rush hour traffic and that she should try the member closer to her location. She said that she’d call him,  I said if you can’t get him call me back as it was going to rain the next day and I’d come out if she couldn’t reach him.

Five minutes later she told me she got the answering machine, so I was on my way! When we met I found out it was her baby daughters hearing aid and she has two and lost the one , I was able to test the one she had with my Whites PI and it got a good signal so I was confident I’d find it…

After 30 minutes and no hearing aid I asked her If I could test it with my detector again and this time… not a signal??? I got the AT Gold with the sipper coil and no signal???My bad! The first time we tested I didn’t check the ground before testing and there must have been a piece of metal in the area(LessonLearned) I had a sick feeling in my stomach and my last chance was the Garrett Carrot and it got a great signal on the hearing aid…Off I went on my but like a dog with worms sliding up and back on a grid and 25 minutes later…Bingo! I found out that just one hearing aid cost over $1000 so you could imagine how good it felt to find it before the rain came!

I love my job! If you’ve lost something and need it found please contact a metal detecting expert nearest your location at www.TheRingFinders.com

Lost Gold & Diamond Pendant in Cloverdale, BC…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

I got an email asking if I could help find a lost pendent the other day so I replied yes I can…We later take on the phone and arranged a time and place to search for the lost diamond pendant.

I showed up to a lovely neighbourhood and met the husband (Howard) of the lady who lost the pendant. He showed me the location and it wasn’t big but had its challenges due to the beautiful flowers and plants in the garden.

When this happens I use the detector in the area but not close to the plants then I come in with the pin pointer to search around the plants and bingo! There it was under a plant in only 1 inch or so in the earth. I love this job because its the best job in the world to be able to find peoples lost smiles!

I asked how he found me and he said while he was looking for a way to search for the ring himself online he found TheRingFinders Directory and thought he’d give it a try.
