Lost Wedding Ring in Kelowna Returned

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Email received through Ringfinders.

I was so happy to come across your info online. We live in Kelowna and this past Monday,My Husband and I were playing football in the water at the beach. We were wrapping up the game to go dry off and I said….”okay last throw honey”. He went to catch the ball and his ring went flying off into the water as well. We looked for close to 2 hours. I went and borrowed a mask and snorkel and we did a grid, and had people helping us, but to no avail.I`m hoping your metal detector can help? We know the exact location it fell. We are only married just over 6 months and I`ve spent the last two days crying. The emotional value, With the engraving is so special and I hate thinking that its gone. We were in shallow water, Up to our knees standing, the ring is dark grey, tungsten carbide ring with the engraving “worth the wait”. Is there any way you can help? It would mean the World to me!! Feel to reply to my email or call me. Thank you Ken!! I am sure you can help. 

The returned Ring brought tears to the wifes eyes.

Lost Oyama Wedding Ring Found

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

The distress call came from Oyama B.C.                                                                      Logan was splitting firewood in his backyard, his wedding ring was getting in the way, so he removed it and placed on the splitting block as he stacked the wood. A while later he remembered the ring, only by this time a young boy had been in the yard and tipped over the block. Logan was unsure if the boy had moved the ring or not. He did a visual search of the yard with no success, so he searched the internet finding Ringfinders and requested my assistance. The ring was found quickly with my metal detector, it was in the grass and had been stepped on.

Lost Ring found in the Okanagan Snow

The horses water trough was frozen over, so Paul used his bare hands to remove the ice from the trough. After the ice was all removed and Paul was back in the warm house, he noticed that his 14k yellow gold wedding band was missing. He went back to the trough area and did a visual search, with no  luck. He went back indoors and googled the RingFinders, after contacting me, I told him I would be out the next morning with my metal detector to search for it.  It was a cold day with ice all around the trough area of the barn. Paul told me he shook his hands when they were cold and wet, so I did a search around the perimeter of the trough. Luckily it was soon found in the snowy area. Another happy customer.

I got a phone call late in the evening that Dena had lost her 18k gold ring in Okanagan Lake. After giving me a location, I told her I would be there in the morning to search for it. I searched for 3/12 hours with no luck, so I gave up. As I was walking up the beach, my hunting partner said he would check the beach for 1/2 hour, so I went back into the lake for another 1/2 hour. Wouldn`t you know it after 10 minutes I located the ring.  I went home and called Dena who was vacationing in Kelowna from Vancouver, she was delighted to have the ring that her mother had given her back.  It brought smiles to her face.

Ringfinders in the Snow

The first day of snow in Kelowna had Shawn Harrison and his wife Karen cleaning his car windshield of snow, once clean he shook his hands and drove away. When he arrived home he realized he had lost his wedding ring, he returned to the location with a metal detector to attempt to find his ring. It was hopeless too many signals to identify his ring, so he called myself at Ringfinders to assist him. On my arrival I found five people with propane torches and rakes searching the area, I joined the group with my detector and began searching, there were many signals but easy  for me to discriminate, after twenty minutes finding three coins and other deep good signals, I located the ring.

Another happy Ringfinders customer who says I saved his marriage.

On a sunny day in Salmon Arm BC, Mike & Kelly Wilson were taking a stroll along the walkway next to the river. As they stopped and leaned on the rail to take in the scenery, Kelly was twisting the ring on her finger when suddenly it slipped off her finger falling onto the rocks and bush below. No problem said Mike, I saw it bounce & we will walk down and pick it up. Well after a few hours of searching they could not locate the ring.The next day Mike went to the local store and purchased a metal detector to assist them with the search, with no success they considered making an insurance claim. Mike thinking that someone more proficient with a metal detector may be able to help them, found me on the internet and asked if I would be willing to assist them. I told him I would be only too happy to help him out. After a two hour drive to Salmon Arm from Kelowna, Kelly showed me the location that she was standing on the walkway, I procceded to search the area and removed various pieces of foil and bottle caps., when after a few minutes I got a good signal around some roots in the long grass. Unable to visually see the target, I probed around with my finger, I felt the shank of the ring and said that I thought I had found something,  much to Kelly`s excitement. I removed the ring and was shocked to see a large 14 karat yellow gold ring with 15 large diamonds that Mike had valued at over $15,000.  Kelly was now so excited she gave hugs all around and dashed off to show all her friends. Mike was more than happy to give me a large reward. Plus a feather in the cap for the “Ringfinders”

Lost Dental Retainer Returned.

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

My strangest Find on the Beach in Kelowna has to a youths Dental retainer. The retainer had a name embossed inside the resin. I checked the names in the local phone book, and started calling. The very first name I called I told them who I was an why I was calling. The lady on the other end was so excited and couldnt believe her luck. Her sons retainer was placed on the beach towel while he went for a swim. When leaving the beach, they forgot about the retainer and just grabbed the towel. They went back later and searched but could not find it. The following morning was when I detected the beach and found the unusual item. They tell me the wires in the retainers are platinum, sounds expensive to replace. Another happy customer.
