Leah was enjoying a hot day on the beach in Kelowna B.C., she took off her rings so as not to lose them. Usually she puts them in her wallet for safe keeping, but her wallet was not handy so she put them in the chairs cup holder. At the end of the day her husband picked up the chairs and they went back to the hotel. When washing her hands Leah realized the loss of the rings, they went back to the beach to search for them, to no avail, Leah`s husband said they are gone someone has picked them up. Distraught leah searched the internet for help, finding The Ringfinders she gave me a call, I told he I would meet her at 6am on the beach. I arrived at the beach at 5am to beat the beach grooming machine, I noticed where they had searched on the sand and found the rings easily. When Leah arrived, I told her to give me a hug, then I handed her the rings, needless to say she was delighted, she told me she had not slept all night worrying about the loss. Another happy customer.

 

Charlie was having a great day on the beach with most of his family. On July 8th in Kelowna the temperature was in the high 30`s so the lake was a good place to cool off. Unfortunately for Charlie his 14k wedding ring came off in the water, the whole family searched for it with no success. Charle`s uncle found me on The Ringfinders website and called me, I responded within the hour and his family were still in the water. Its difficult to pinpoint the location but they were close and within 30 minutes I had the ring in my scoop, much to the delight of all the onlookers. It was hugs and kisses from the family and a big smile from Charlie and his wife.

 

 

 

 

 

Over the Christmas Holidays, Dave was enjoying the recent six to eight inches of snow on the hills in Kelowna, with his son. Like most of us Dave took a few spills, only to realize when he arrived home that he had lost his iPhone. he looked up the lost location on icloud and went back to do a search with no luck. Two weeks later he found me on The Ringfinders website and gave me a call, I responded the next day and we went to the site, the phone was soon located and returned to Dave, another happy customer.

 

 

After retrieving 2 cell phones in the morning, I get a call in the afternoon from Timothy`s father telling me his son lost his cell phone at the University condo parking. I told him I would be there in a couple of hours. Timothy was outside waiting for me to show me where he lost his cell phone. he thought it was by the curbside, I located it 8 feet out in the roadway, he was lucky nobody had driven over it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the snow is on the ground is the time people lose items. Dawn called me to say she had lost her cell phone in her yard and could not find it with a rented metal detector. I told her I would rent her a detector that I guaranteed would do the job, the cell phone was found quickly with my easy to operate detector. The second call came from Wayne who lost his cell phone while walking the dogs in his Orchard. I arrived and surveyed the area, I asked him where he suspected his loss occurred. he showed me where he walked the dogs and suspected it was along the fenceline. After half an hour of searching with many junk targets and irrigation pipes interfering, I scraped the snow and there was his cell phone. The cell phone was his business phone and he had 14 clients emails waiting for him so he was very happy to have it found quickly.

 

 

Karen was playing ball with her granddaughter when she noticed her 14k gold ring was gone. The ring was promised to be given to the granddaughter, she spent one hour on her hands and knees in the grass searching for it, with no luck. She tearfully called me and I responded right away, I told her I would find it, in the grass and knowing the location would make it easy.  Within 10 minutes she had the ring back on her finger.

 

Heidi and her family from Victoria were spending the Canada Day weekend in Penticton. The weather was hot and perfect for a swim in Okanagan Lake, which is what Heidi and her family did. Heidi reached out to her son and was filled with terror as she realized her wedding ring an 18k yellow gold, marquee diamond was missing. The marquee in the centre of the ring was her grandmothers and the smaller diamonds were her mother`s, all the kids on the beach joined in the treasure hunt, to no avail. Heidi contacted me on the Saturday evening, so I responded at 5am the next morning. Usually there is no wind in the mornings, this day the wind was blowing towards the beach and made it difficult, I did not find it that day. I had gone out as far as I could and also swept the whole beach with no success. I knew the ring had to be there so I planned to return when the wind died down. I returned on Tuesday morning in my wetsuit to complete the deeper water. Once I got a hit, I knew it had to be the ring, and success I had the ring in my scoop. Heidi went through tears of sorrow to tears of joy.

Paul and his girlfriend were walking his dog in a small park. On throwing the ball for the dog the girlfriend heard  a metallic ping down the roadway, she asked Paul if he had lost his ring, sure enough it was missing. They searched along the roadway fence in the grass, old leaves and some plants to no avail, they quickly realized it was like a needle in a haystack. He found my email on the internet and I responded the next morning, his girlfriend gave me the best clue on where to search and within 30 minutes I had the ring. I told him he should thank his girlfriend for being so alert.
