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

Just a heads up to let you know that you’ll be seeing a story from a member of TheRingFinders who was called out to search for stolen jewelry that was dumped in a swamp after the burglar was chased by police. Our member of TRF found 200 pieces of jewelry! Amazing!!
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!
I love my job! I wish I could help people all day & everyday!

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 !!
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
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.

I had a call the other day for a ring search at Jericho Beach, a young couple from Germany told me that they were enjoying the sunny day and playing some volleyball and the young lady who’d only been married for 4 months lost her platinum diamond ring.
I meet with them and we talked about the search and I knew it would be a quick recovery due to the fact that she knew where the ring came off. Also her and her husband went to Home Depot and bought a rake and raked the area for over 2 hours in hopes that they could find the ring.
I could tell they were very sad and most likely thought I’d have no chance in finding it…Good news was it only took a couple of minutes to see their smiles!

I got a call from a young man who told me that he lost his gold ring and found me on TheRingFinders Directory. He went on to explain that he was power washing his front driveway & his back concrete patio. I met him that day and we walked the area and after asking him how he held the sprayer my first concern was that if you hold it with two hands how will your ring come off? In my mind it wasn’t lost where he thought it might be but I still searched a bit in the back for 5 minutes then we talked a bit more and I asked him if he was dirty after the clean up and he replied yes!
My next question was where did you was up? He said in the basement sink…I asked him to check the sink just in case it came of there as he told me he lost 14 lbs and his ring was fitting lose. less then 20 seconds and he came out smiling and holding up his ring!
Some times we have to ask a lot of questions and try to narrow down the search area. I could have spent hours searching the area he was power spraying but my instincts told me to check the obvious area first. This saved me loads of time!
Even though I didn’t locate this with my detector it was the questions asked that lead us to the ring and the smile!
I love my job! Thanks for reading and the video will be added soon. If you need your lost ring found…Contact a member of TheRingFinders.com nearest you.
I’m at work when I get a call from Darrell, he tells me that his son lost his grandfathers ring…(Darrell’s late Fathers Ring) you can imagine how distraught both father and son were in regards to this loss. His son Brad told me he couldn’t sleep at night he was so upset.
They told me it was a very big search area the ring could’ve been lost in and unfortunately the son didn’t know when the ring came off his finger. This makes for an extremely difficult search. As most Ring Finders know you have to be a good detective and ask a lot of questions in order to narrow down the search area… And that’s what I did.
I started walking the trail in the park searching on the left side of the trail after determining the angle of his throw and where the ring could possibly end up. I was preparing to go back after I saw the whole search area and extend the grid search further into the brush. Fortunately at the end of the trail in a very flat grassy opening where he threw three pinecones and show me the direction he was throwing, this was going to be the easiest part of the search to finish before I got invested into that very difficult trail area with all the brush and stumps.
After only four gridlines up & down I got a good signal, I look down into the grass with my pin pointer and saw his beautiful gold ring! Darrell and his son Brad were off in another location checking out a stump where he was playing. I was able to surprise them with the ring when they came back.
I believe this was one of the best reactions I’ve seen in many many years when I held up the ring and they both saw it… You have to watch the video it’s priceless!
I have to say this is the best job I’ve ever had in my life! I get to make people happy, I get to see their smiles and witness their joy & happiness for finding something so precious. I have personally found over 400 lost rings to date. Every ring I’ve ever found has an amazing story attached to it and I’m so honoured to be so lucky to help continue that story… More people deserve to know about TheRingFinders.com so they can have a second chance to find what they thought was lost forever… Please tell your friends!
Watch the Epic Reaction to the discovery of the young mans ring below.
I received and email yesterday afternoon in regards to a lost gold ring by a bus stop in Richmond. I called the person and we discussed the search and decided to meet at 8 PM.
When we met I learned what happen and how he lost his late fathers ring that was a gift…He was whipping the rain off his paints and the ing went flying. He remember hearing the ring hit the metal seats in the covered area of the bus stop. The way he showed me what he was doing made sense to us that the ring could have gone under the seats and out the back in the long grass.
What made this ring so special to the young man was it was a gift from his late father and the gold nuggets that wrapped all the way around the ring was nuggets that his father had panned in Alaska.
1/12 hours later it was found in the last spot I checked near the bus stop where I was having problems with interference from the rebar in the concrete and all the garbage in the area…I found it using my hand held Pin pointer.
The ring had been lost for 4 days and now its back where it belongs!
Thanks for reading my blog…I love my job!
