Ringfinders in the Snow

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

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.

Lost Ring in Wood Lake

  • from Kelowna (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

 

Newly married Kyle was playing in 4 feet of water at Wood Lake, Winfield when he saw his white Gold wedding band fly off his finger, Both him and his wife searched the area with scoops, but were unable to find the ring.Four days later I  was contacted through Ringfinders to assist him in the search. Luckily for me he had marked the location in the lake with a mound of stones, it didn’t take long and we had the Ring back on his finger.It pays to know the exact location of a loss in the water.

Lost Rudder Lake Minnetonka Minnesota

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Joe called and asked if we could dive to find his sailboat rudder that had accidently dropped off as he was getting his boat out of  the water for the year. This was in 12 feet of water with pure muck and weeds. It was too tough with the thick weeds and muck to use a detector. We used a wooden rod to poke down into the muck and “feel” for it……after 40 minutes or so we found it. Here’s to great sailing next year!!!

Lost ring Downers Grove IL found

  • from Las Vegas (Nevada, United States)
Contact:

Received a call about a lost gold wedding band. Apparently, while throwing a football to his young son, his wedding ring flew off. They had searched for a day using a metal detector, but to no avail. I drove out to their house did a search in the backyard for about an hour. I found the ring and united it with the owner. Both the husband and the wife were very happy. I spent about another half hour showing his 3 children how to use my detector and all three found Pennies. It’s a great hobby for kids and I always try to encourage kids to try metal detecting.

Holland, Mi Lost wedding ring found

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

                                                                  

 

 

 

While searching the Lost and Found ads I came across a ” lost ring”  in Holland or Hudsonville so I gave them a call. I talked to Jim Davis and asked him several questions and we decided that the ring might be lost in the lawn while his wife was doing some clipping of the fall plants. She thought she might have lost it at a store in Holland or in Hudsonville but after I heard she was not using gloves to cut the plants I knew it had to be around the yard. Jim showed my brother and I where she was cutting plants both in the back and front yard. After about 30 minutes and going through the flower beds we pretty much gave up and stood by the drive asking questions about where they have looked already. With our detectors still on my brother, Doug, swung the detector over some grass next to the flower bed where we were standing and there it was. Jim’s eyes lite up and gave Doug a big hug then me a hug then a handshake to both of us then another smile. It’s going to take weeks to wipe the smile off his face. I asked him to have someone take a picture of his wife when he showed it to her. I would love to be a fly on the wall. Jim wasn’t sure how he would break the news to her yet.

Jim was apprehensive at first about asking someone he didn’t know to check out his yard but I had him read an article that was in the Grand Rapids Press by Tom Rademacher about my metal detecting service and he felt better when we came out to his house.

Another happy couple reunited with a ring that sealed their marriage 31 years ago. Rosanne, I haven’t met you but I would encourage you to wear gloves when gardening the next time. Congratulations!

Shakopee Minnesota lost platinum wedding band

  • from Twin Cities Metro (Minnesota, United States)
Contact:

Bill was playing with his kids in the Corn Bin, a play area filled with corn about 25 yards long 10 yards wide and 3 feet deep. While pushing his hands into the corn his platinum wedding ring slipped off and the corn being like quicksand , it disappeared. Bill found Theringfinders.com on an internet search and gave me a call. I talked with the owner of the area and he was happy to let us come in and search before they opened the next day. After a 15 minute search, Bill had his Wedding band back on his hand. We also found a Tiffany’s wedding band and 2 Gold rings that had been lost a few weeks earlier. The owner called (from their lost and found) and all the rings, and a bracelet found their way back to the rightful owners! What a great day. Congrats to all who thought their priceless items were lost forever.

Platinum wedding band found in Denver, Colorado yard

Mark very happy to be holding his ring once again

Mark Rubinstein was hanging out in his back yard having a couple of brews with a buddy on a cool September evening. Guys being guys they ended up in a friendly slapping match, the kind where it is all fun and games till somebody loses their wedding ring. The pair searched in earnest that evening trying to find Mark’s platinum wedding band without any luck. The next day mark searched the area one more time on his hands and knees pulling the grass apart and visuallysearching, again no luck. A couple of weeks went by with sporadic but intense searches yet still the searches were fruitless.

Mark sent me an email regarding my services and explained that the ring was lost in him back yard. I assured him that if the ring was truly in his back yard I stood a very good chance of recovering it. But I also made no promises about the rings recovery as I have made searches that were not successful.

Another week went by and I did not hear from Mark so I sent him another email and also left him a message on his cell phone.  After a couple more days Mark sent me an email and we arranged for me to come to look for his ring the following day at 1:00 pm.

I arrived at the address Mark gave me at the prescribed time, Mark was in his car taking care of some business on his cell phone. He showed me to the back yard and explained what had occurred the night that he lost his wedding ring. I readied my Whites XLT with my Bigfoot coil and prepared to search.

Mark needed to take care of a bit more business so he excused himself and left me to my search. Within 10 minutes of starting I had recovered Mark’s ring. The ring was well hidden by the grass and not visible to the naked eye, but the ring was quite visible to a metal detector. By the time Mark made his way back I had already taken close-up photos of his ring and was just hanging out on the deck.

Mark was elated that I had found his ring as he thought that it could possibly be gone for good.

Ring recovered October 21, 2011.

Metal Detecting…Night Hunt for lost Gold at Locarno Beach, Vancouver

I received a call from Chris who lost his wedding band while setting up his camera to take some pictures of the city from Locarno Beach in Vancouver. The thing was he didn’t know when the ring came off, this makes it hard to locate the ring as the area could be huge.

After talking to Chris on the phone he new he had it on when he left his car and when he got back to his car it was gone. He sent me a google map of the area as he couldn’t meet me, this was a great way to get a feel for the search area and I felt confident I could find the ring.

 20 minutes after a started my search I found his ring at 3:30 am near the top of the search area on the picture above…I love it when I get lucky and pick the right area to start the grid search. It could have been a much longer search!

 

I love my job!

Lost something?

Call me ASAP

Best, Chris Turner
