LOST 14K GOLD RING RECOVERED IN RALEIGH, N.C. ON 12/9/2012
On the afternoon of 12/9/2012 I recieved a phone call from a gentleman by the name of ( Mr. Joe D ). who explained that his father, ( Mr. Tom D. ) lost a 14K gold ring while working in his yard a week earlier.. After speakin with ( Mr. Joe D.) , I then called his father , ( Mr. Tom D. ) to speak to him and he explained the story of losing the ring as well.. I then agreed to meet them about a hour later and when I got there, I had ( Mr. Tom D. ) walk me through what he was doing when he lost his ring.. He explained that he had searched for it with no luck and even had the neighbor help.. He told me that it could be in one of the many bags of rakings or around the bushes which is where he was when he lost it.. Rather than go through all the bags and dump out all the leaves etc which would be alot more work to clean them up again, I got out my Long Range Metal Detector / Electroscope and proceded to scope the area around the Bushes where he was when he lost the ring.. Instantly I was able lock onto a target by the bushes where he was working using my Long Range Metal Detector and in under ten minutes I was able to recover his lost ring for him.. I am so glad I was able to help him.. I hope they have a Merry Christmas and wish them a very Happy Holidays.. In the pictures you with see the ring and me holding my long range metal detector standing beside Mr. Tom D.

Sloan from College Station.
Good morning John,
Last night I got a phone call from Kelly Walker, she found her ring. Some how, her ring had ended up in her couch, and as near as I could understand, her phone was breaking up, for some reason, they were shaking the couch and her ring fell out. Just wanted to let you know about the happy ending.

Lost Class Ring in College Station, Texas
I was recently contacted by Ms. Walker from College Station, Texas regarding a lost 2011 Texas A&M class ring. Ms. Walker was not exactly sure of where she lost her ring, but knew it was missing after an exhaustive search of her home and car.
Ms. Walker felt there could be a slight possibility that it may have fallen of her hand somewhere in her front yard, but was clearly unsure.
I was able to assist Ms. Walker in contacting a fellow Detectorist Bill Sloan in College Station. Mr. Sloan was able to assist Ms. Walker in a metal detection search of both her front and back yards.
The ring remains unrecovered at this time and has been reported to the College Station Police Department.
The ring is described as a ladies 10K Texas A&M class ring with inscription Kelly E.B. Walker. If this ring should cross your path it’s looking to go home.
The following is an e-mail sent by Ms. Walker
Thank you Mr. Volek,
I really appreciate all your help and your connecting me to Mr. Sloan. He was incredibly kind and patient with me throughout our dealings.
He wouldnt even let me pay him for gas. I know he was from the area but I still found it surprising. He made clear that he was simply doing it to help, as you did.
You’ve both made a painful process much easier and I really appreciate it.
My next step is to have a friend of mine take apart the dash on my car. I heard a metal object sliding around when I made a particularly sharp turn yesterday and my heart stopped. I have no idea if it’s my ring or not, but a girl can hope.
Take care, Mr. Volek. I’ll keep you updated if I find it.
Thanks and Gig ’em,
Kelly Walker

Calgary Ringfinder Kevin Niefer CTV News Lost Ring Stanley Park
Lost Wedding Ring Stanley Park Calgary
CTV Calgary Published Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012 11:58AM MDT Last Updated Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012 7:37PM MDT
Losing a wedding ring is a sickening feeling for anyone that’s misplaced the piece of sentimental jewelry.
A local metal detector specialist, known as ‘The Ringfinder’, is doing his part to end the emotional pain.
Kevin Niefer has been metal detecting for the last 25 years.
In 2011, Niefer joined the Ring Finders Network, and is the group’s representative here in Calgary.
Niefer says he’s been quite successful helping people find their lost rings.
He’s currently helping Alicia Tropak locate her lost wedding ring. She misplaced her ring on September 23, 2012, somewhere near Stanley Park.
Tropak is expecting her first child at the end of the month, and says her fingers swell sometimes. She took her ring off, put it in her pocket, and lost it somewhere along her walk.
Niefer is hopeful he can find the ring using his metal detector which has a history of locating all kinds of hidden treasures.
“And that could be jewelry or old relics like pins or chauffeurs badges, or coins,” says Niefer. “You never know what you’re going to dig up, and when you dig it up, it’s thrilling.”
“Or it might be a bottle cap.”
Niefer and Tropak were unable to find the ring on this day, but will return to expand the search.

CBC NEWS CALGARY RING FINDER KEVIN NIEFER
This year alone, he has helped reunite nine couples with their rings.

Just last week, Niefer got a call from a Calgary couple that would lead him to his toughest assignment to date.
Will Hoff had lost his wedding ring in the Waiparous River near Cochrane. After about an hour of searching in the fast-moving rocky river, Niefer was able to find the ring.
“Are you freaking kidding me?” Hoff exclaimed moments after Niefer plucked his ring out of the water.
Niefer says he isn’t in it for the money. Although couples often compensate him for his efforts, he doesn’t charged them a set amount.
“When you find it and people go ‘Oh no! I can’t believe you found it!,’ That’s pretty exciting, right? And to be able to return something that sentimental — that’s the biggest reward,” Niefer said.

Lost ring Calgary Groom out of the doghouse
- Kevin searching the mud puddle
A lost TUNGSTEN WEDDING RING WITH 3 DIAMONDS was found west of Sundre, Alberta Canada by Kevin Niefer the TV METAL DETECTIVE. They were up in the foothills where people go 4 wheel driving and ride on quads. The Bride and Groom were having a mud fight for their wedding photos and the groom lost his ring in a large mud puddle. Everyone in the wedding party tried looking for it. The ring wasn’t found even after six people put in about six hours. They even rented their own metal detector with no luck. I was able to find it in 20 minutes. This made two people very happy. Now the groom was out of the doghouse and their lives full of wedded bliss could begin……..
