Fall Festival – Jillians Platinum Diamond Wedding Ring Recovered.

 

Metal Detecting Grouse Mountain Ski Resort for a lost Gold Wedding Band…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

Friday afternoon I got a call from a young man who was visiting from Columbia, he told me he lost his gold wedding band while he and his wife were up at Grouse Mountain Ski Resort checking out the snow that has arrived early this year.

I was at work when he called and I know he was hoping I could come out that afternoon to help find his wedding band but I couldn’t get to him till the next day. We set a time to meet (8:45am) for Saturday and off we went to the top of the mountain.

When we got up there he showed me the area were the ring was lost in the snow,  it wasn’t that deep. However there was lots of nails all around and that makes it a bit of a tough search! I just eliminated the possibilities and in less then 30 minutes in about 5 inches of snow I found his gold wedding band.

 

I love my job! As soon as I showed him the ring I could tell that they both were so happy! When I handed it to him he kissed his wife!

 

It was nice meeting you both today! Thank you for the kind reward! And I hope you enjoy Vancouver.

Lost something? Call Me ASAP!

Lost Ring St. Paul Minnesota Metal Detector Recovery

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

Hans was out raking leaves along the boulevard of his St.Paul home and after bagging up 3 large bags of leaves; he noticed his Platinum wedding band was not on his finger. He searched the web and found the ring finders. Hans called and we set up a meeting to recover the ring. He thought the logical place to look first would be the bags of leaves, I agreed and he pulled the 3 bags out of the garage. This is an older neighbor hood and it took me a little while to find a “clean” area of grass not filled with coins people lost over the years, so I could check the bags. The first two bags were clean, then I got a faint sound in the 3rd one. We opened it up and using my Sun Ray probe I searched in the densely packed leaves. The further in the bag I pushed my prob the louder my detector sounded off. I switched to pin point and heard that great screaming sound of  a Platinum ring. Glad I was able to help you out Hans!

Take Care.

Lost Ring Recovery Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)

Amanda called to ask for help searching for her White Gold Diamond Engagement Ring. She lost it while playing in a corn pit at a local fall festival. I met Amanda and her family down at the festival at closing time to search. The pit is around 3 feet deep of corn and metal detectors only have a range of 12 to 15 inches for an item as small as a ring. I searched the area where the ring came off to no avail, Amanda and her family shoveled corn so I could get down deeper with my detector. We all searched for a couple hours and could not find it. I could see Amanda was heart broken at the loss and I told her not to give up hope – I will try again. I went home that night and called another Ring Finder in my area – Scott Juusola <- This is the guy who got me started in Metal Detecting around 25 years ago. Scott & I brainstormed on how to get down deeper into the corn with our detectors. We came up with a couple of ideas and a few days later, we set out to the corn pit for another search. We put both of our ideas to work and 15 minutes into the search, we recovered Amanda’s ring. What a great feeling to call Amanda and let her know that her precious ring was found. I truly believe the satisfaction we get from returning that special item that people thought was lost forever; gives us the determination to never give up! Congrats Amanda and Thanks to your Mom for her kind e-mail.

Take Care

Brian Bierenga with ring back on finger

I received an email today from a  friend, Vickie J. ,who works where I used to work. She  knew that I metal detected and retired just to go detecting.  A co-worker mentioned to her that her husband had lost a lot of weight and was doing some yard work and lost his wedding ring as it was very loose. She told Rhiannon B. about me. I called Vickie after receiving the email and then decided to message Rhiannon on FB. Before you know it between 2:30PM when I received the email and 5:30PM when I went to their home, the ring was back on Brian’s finger.

Brian had bagged three big bags of leaves to be thrown out the next day. When I messaged them on FB I told them not to throw out any bags until I check them. I got out my Bounty Hunter metal detector and check bag one and two with no alerts, checking bag three I got a great signal then emptied a few leaves and there it was.

Brian is a teacher at Mattawan High School and I’m sure will have some good news for his students tomorrow.

 

Shannon’s Husband Wedding Ring Lost now Found!

  • from Dallas (Texas, United States)
Contact:

        

Ellen & I got a call from our “The Ring Finders” website.  It as about 8pm on Sunday evening.  Shannon said that she and her husband had been at the local recreation center playground.  Her husband took off his wedding ring and put it in his pocket so he would not scratch it while working out using the playground equipment as a gym.

Upon returning home he realized his ring was gone.  He and Shannon searched for 6 days looking for the ring.  She found us on the web and called. I told her I would come on on Monday morning after 9am, but after hearing her voice and talking to my wife.  My wife convinced me to go do our 1st night search. We had our headlamps and our flashlight and the playground was in a nice area of town, so we decided to give it a try.

After 20 minutes of searching in the dark I hit something strong and thought to myself, I got it… but no it was a child’s charm bracelet.  I stood up and got another hit just 2 feet from the bracelet.  I bent down using my pinpointer and light and there was the ring.  I had to use the flashlight to be sure I had Shannon’s husband’s ring.  It was.

I called Shannon at 9:30pm and she seemed concerned when she realized it was me,  I said hello and ask her if she would like to come up to the park playground and pick up her husband’s ring.  She was estastic.  She said she would be right down.   She arrived in 15 minutes and was extremely grateful.  This is my favorite part of this hobby, seeing the smiles, seeing the relief, it is a win, win moment for everyone.

Now I thought this adventure was over, but on Monday I received a very special text message from Shannon.  I have pasted the text in below…

 “” Thank you again sooo much, Don!! I surprised Aaron with his ring when he got home from work last night…. I sat him down and proposed to him :).  Luckily he said yes 🙂 We are both so happy to have his ring back. You and your wife are so wonderful! It was an honor meeting you two! “”

Another successful NIGHT find for The Ring Finders”

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.
