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.

Lost wedding ring returned in Kelowna BC

Sheri and her husband were working on their Low Maintenance, water saving yard. Throwing the large rocks around the area, her husband heard a ping and noticed his 14k white gold wedding band was missing, he stopped work and looked around for it. With no luck Sheri called her friend in Vancouver who gave her my phone number, and said give him a call, he will help you search for it with a metal detector. When she called, I told her that with a construction site, time is of the essence and I would be there the next day. With her husband at work, Sheri showed me the location they where working, and said she suspected that it had fallen down between the large rocks. I knew from past experience that the ping meant the ring had bounced away, so I started the search around the perimeter, Sheri convinced it was in the big rocks continued moving them away. After around 45 minutes of searching and still outside the rock pile I located the ring 30 feet away from the rock pile around the location that they were standing, this location was scheduled to be levelled off with a cat the next day. Sheri was delighted and called me a Superstar

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.

Spring had arrived in Kelowna BC Canada, and Yvette was cleaning out her back yard.

Once completed she realized she had lost her 14k Wedding ring and Engagement ring that were joined together, she was devastated and spent the whole day searching for it. Her Mother in Calgary found “The Ringfinders” website and sent me an email, I replied send me Yvette`s address and I will respond within the hour. I searched the whole yard and over the fence on the golf course to no avail, the only place left was the garden waste which Yvette and her husband had searched four times with a metal detector. Undaunted I dumped out all the contents and did a systematic search, at the bottom of the bin was the ring inside a discarded plant.

Christy had a party at her home during a recent snow fall. The party was in her back yard and a few of the partygoers were feeling no pain. One young lady fell in the snow and slid 50 yards down a slope finishing up in a blackberry patch, losing her prescription eyeglasses in the proccess. Christy found me on The Ringfinders website and requested my help in locating the glasses. I arrived and started my search in the yard, within minutes I found a pair of glasses, are these the ones I asked, the answer was no, they were lost last year. I continued my search all the way down the yard and eventually found the other pair in the blackberry patch.

Rental Car Key lost in Kelowna Snow.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Anastha was involved in a motor vehicle accident, so she was driving a courtesy vehicle. After removing snow from her driveway she realized that she had lost the key for the courtesy vehicle. Unable to find it she called the repair shop who where going to charge her $350 to replace and reprogram the replacement key. She remembered a fellow worker who had lost his wedding ring years earlier, she called him and asked him who assisted him with its recovery, he told her it was a member of The Ringfinder. She then called The Ringfinders, and I responded on her day off work. The snow was fairly deep so I did sweep and then removed a layer of snow, on the second sweep I located the key.

Ubit was heading for the morning bus, on the way he stopped to brush the snow off his clothes. He quickly realized that his ring was lost in the process. No problem he went back home and found a metal detector rental company, after a few hours of searching with no luck, he went around the neighbourhood and posted lots of distress posters. The ring was given to him by his mother, it was of extreme importance,  and it had a spiritual meaning to him.  He searched  the internet, here he found me on The Ringfinders site, I told him I would be there the next morning.  When I arrived he was not home, but his roommate showed me the location where he lost the ring. When he arrived home 10 minutes later he was surprised to see that I had found the ring.

A fresh Winter snow fall is a great time to play with your dog, that’s what Chris was doing on the holiday weekend when he lost his vehicle keys and fob. No problem he had a spare key, so off they go shopping. After shopping, on arriving back at the truck he opened the door and the alarm went off, not having the fob, he couldn’t switch it off. After a taxi ride home he pondered his problem, and tried to get an electrical company to assist him, no luck on the weekend. Next he googled The Ringfinders and sent me an email, I responded the next day and gridded his orchard area until I found the keys and fob. He called me his hero after I drove him to recover his truck.

Shawn was visiting his parents in Peachland B.C. for the Christmas holiday. We had a heavy snowfall the next day, so Shawn helped his parents move the snow from the backyard and the driveway. On the way home back to Vancouver driving on the mountain road, he had a panic attack when he realized he had lost his ring. The ring meant a lot to Shawn as it was his wedding ring, and his wife still lives in Thailand. When he arrived home his friend said to call The Ringfinders. I responded to his email and told him I would be there the next day. After checking the driveway, I moved out into the roadway and got a signal in the middle of the road. I scraped the snow with my boot and told his parents that I thought I saw a ring, on checking the kicked snow there was his 18k white gold wedding band. Mother was in tears and could not believe it, she immediately phoned her son with the good news. she told me I have have the most honourable job of anybody.

Kyle was installing fencing at a new home, and just for safety he put his 14k diamond wedding ring in his pocket so as not to lose it. On his way home he went to his pocket to put the ring back on, and it was missing. He checked out the W.W.W.  found The Ringfinders, and gave me a call, I responded within 30 minutes and found the ring 2 inches deep in the dirt by a fencepost. His concern was that it could have been anywhere on site, or even in the concrete around the post`s.  Another happy customer.
