This is a result of the JC Effect and Global News…

Another recovery thanks to Global News results in a ring being found over a year later at an Airbnb in Agassiz, BC. I got an email a few weeks back in regards to a ring that was lost at an Airbnb possibly under the patio in the backyard. When I talked to the Alison I found out that the ring had fallen off her husband’s finger while they were sitting outside enjoying the evening, they heard it hit the patio and that was the end of it, the wood slats of the patio had enough of a gap for a ring to fall through. The owner of the property had removed four planks and looked under the patio but did not see the ring.

When I arrived in Agassiz, I met Alison and her girlfriend Kelly and she took me around back to show me the patio, it was an older patio not very big and I was very hopeful we would find the ring, I also knew that it could’ve bounced off the patio into the grass so my first place to check was the grass around the patio, that would make it a much easier search if I had found it in the grass, unfortunately, no such luck.

With the help of Alison, we began to pull the wood planks away from the patio, we pulled off six at a time and I searched in the area, after I search the area we put the planks back and remove another six, we did this three times with no luck. The last chance I had was removing three planks attached to the stairs closest to the house, I knew this would be a hard one to do but I would’ve been stupid not to do it.

After close to three hours of searching, taking off planks, and putting them back, in the last place I checked along the side of the house under a board I found this young lady’s husband’s ring that had been missing for over a year. I love my job, her reaction was absolutely priceless when I showed her the ring!

Lost Ring in North Burnaby found after 3 years.

This is a result of the JC Effect and Global News…

Soon after Global News did a story in regards to a ring I found for actor Jon Cryer from Two and a Half Men, the phone started ringing. One call I got was from Fernando, he told me that his wife Serafina had lost her wedding band three years ago and was hoping maybe I could help them find it. We set up a day and time where to meet to start the search for this lost ring. When we met I had my series of questions I had to ask in order to figure out more about the search area and what the potential would be for recovery.

I learned that Fernando and his wife were married for 51 years Serafina had the ring on her finger for 48 years before she lost her symbol of love due to an accident that found her being taken away in an ambulance, they were walking through a trail and Fernando slipped down the slope and Serafina went to to help her husband and she too slipped down the hill cracking her pelvis bone and hurting her tailbone.

I had a really good feeling that this ring was still there as I knew not many people would be metal detecting in this area, after 30 minutes Fernando and Serafina went home to leave me to my work, not long after I found her beautiful gold wedding band that was hiding for three years just 1 inch in the dirt. I was able to contact Fernando and we set it up so we could surprise Serafina with the return of her ring. Something that was very interesting was that Serafina said that she had dreamt the night before her son had contacted her telling her about my service that she was going to find the ring.

The hardest part of what we do is not finding what I’m looking for but the best part is seeing the smiles we can find for people, this was a beautiful story with a beautiful ending for a beautiful couple!

Making Applesauce in Sand Lake, Michigan

  • from Manistee (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

I got a call today from Jeff S. who lost his wedding ring yesterday between an apple tree, 2 mile walk on a trail and somewhere near his house in the woods. I told him I would be out searching in a couple hours.

We met at the place where he was gathering apples that fell to the ground under an apple tree along the road by his house. I did a grid search in an area 20 feet by 10 feet and then directly under the tree in some long grass. I didn’t find the ring there so anticipating the 2 mile walk along a leafy trail we went to his house first. I searched his apple barrel while he went through his pants he wore yesterday, no ring yet. We walked a path into the woods by his house, detecting along the way, where he concocted an applesauce for his animals, made up of sugar beets, apples and molasses. I searched the area with my Fisher F75 detector and swung it like a wand over the pile of apples and got a hit. After moving the mess around there was the gold ring that was his dads old wedding ring, dripping in molasses. I took a picture of the ring and a big Smile of Jeff holding it for my Book of Smiles. I hope his animals enjoy the applesauce as much as Jeff enjoyed the ring back on his finger.

How to find a Lost Ring in the Snow in Calgary

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Received a call from Perry, a metal detecting friend of mine. He was contacted by a gentleman asking to rent his detector. Instead of renting it, he called me up and invited my to join him on a hunt. Together we arrived at the location. A quick description let us know that the ring came off, bounced off his truck’s running board (he heard it) and disappeared! With that information we had the location narrowed down to a very small area. Perry fired up his machine and in a matter of moments heard the sound he was looking for. A quick bit of pinpointing and the ring was soon in the hands of one very happy owner.  I just realized that being a part of the find is just as good as being the finder. The smile on his face makes it all worth while.

Lost Diamond Ring Fort Langley… Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Call ASAP  Anytime   778-838-3463

This is a result of the JC Effect and Global News…

Thursday around 3 pm I received a call from a slightly frantic young lady who told me that she had lost her diamond wedding ring in Fort Langley at a park. After talking to her and her husband in regards to the location the ring was lost I decided to go early in the morning knowing that in a couple of hours it would already be dark and no one would be able to find it. Also knowing not many people are at Park at this time of year when it’s so cold out, We set a time for 8 AM the next morning to search for her diamond ring.

I was already heading out in that direction to do a search for a lost wedding band in Agassiz so I stopped in Fort Langley first and got there at 7 AM, as I drove up another car was pulling in and the young man said hello Chris he saw my videos and knew it was me. They got there early as well probably just to do a walkabout and search before I got there. After talking for a little bit and understanding where she had been that day and what she was doing I started my grid search in the area they believe the ring was lost.

After about 40 minutes I started grid searching outside of the area where she did not expect the ring to be found, most times that’s the case, it’s where people don’t think it could be, and I’m happy to say that’s what happened here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You have to think outside of the box and go with your gut instinct and grid search until you find what you’re looking for because if you don’t, you could be walking away from a smile. The story that surrounded this ring was beautiful and it was an honor to be able to help continue that story.

I have the best job in the world and I love doing this more than anything I’ve done in my lifetime. I get to make people smile, I get to hear their stories of what the ring means to them and how happy they are when I’m lucky enough to find it.

Ring Lost Deep in the Fall Leaves

  • from Barre (Vermont, United States)
Contact:

11/8/20
Got a message last night from a woman who had lost her wedding ring.

She was walking a forest trail in a local park with her toddler on her back and her young dog on a leash. Coming down a steep trail covered with fresh fallen oak leaves, she stepped over a fallen tree trunk, while her energetic dog decided to go airborne over it. The leash gave a hard yank on her hand and miraculously she felt her wedding ring break and fall off. She was able to see where a piece of the ring fell, so she carefully searched through the deep leaves and found that piece. Unfortunately, she didn’t see where the bigger piece had fallen, the section containing the diamonds.

This ring had a very sentimental history behind it. It had been worn by four generations of brides in the family, originating in the country of Poland. Needless to say, she was heartbroken and desperate to find it. She searched through the deep blanket of leaves for a long time, clearing a large area down to the soil, with no luck.

She went online later to try to find a place to rent a metal detector when she found my ad. Deciding to call me instead of trying to figure out how to run a detector. So we made plans to meet at 8:00 this morning, because I never know if a search is going to be a few minutes or all day.

I met her, her husband, their toddler son and their dog at the park. The little kid was fun to watch, he loved to show us how he could go up and down the banks, even with those tiny feet! She took me to the area where the mishap had taken place and I got started. I worked my detector coil methodically, pushing it side to side under the leaves. Got some signals from minerals in the rocks and from some old shotgun shell brass. Then I got a scratchy faint signal and dug my fingers in to search for the target. Under all the leaves and pushed 1/2” into the soil I saw something sparkle. There it was! She knelt down, picked it up and broke down with happy tears. Very nice ending! I have found hundreds of rings, but this one was probably the nost delicate ring I have ever found, very few metal detectors would’ve been able to find this one!

I love this hobby! Please click on my name above for more stories and contact information.

Ring recovered on Lake Michigan beach south of South Haven.

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
Contact:

Received a call from Leah at about 3:30 this afternoon saying that her husband, Dan, had just dropped his wedding band in the sand and they could not find it.  Today  was a beautiful fall day in west Michigan, sunny with the temperature in the 70s (rare in November) so a good day for a road trip to Lake Michigan.  But with Daylight Savings Time over, we knew it would be dark by 6:00 and we didn’t have time to waste.  With my wife and the dog I jumped in the car and we headed out for the one hour trip to a nature preserve I hadn’t known existed.  Arriving around 4:30 we met Leah at the trail head and she guided us on the 1/4 mile trail through the woods to the beach where Dan was guarding the area where the ring disappeared.  I had Dan mark off the area where he thought his ring was lost, and I was impressed that he identified an area of only about 6 feet by 6 feet.  He then specified “about in this spot right here.”  I dropped the coil on that spot and hit the target immediately.  Immediately!  I set the detector down and gently started to brush the sand away with the palm of my hand until the outline of the ring came into view.  Dan stood there in amazement until he reached down and retrieved his ring.  They had searched carefully, but sand has a sneaky way about it.  This may have been my quickest search time ever for me to find a ring, but it was still very satisfying to make two nice people so happy.

SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call ASAP 206-618-8194

Julie called and explained that she had been golfing with a lot of friends just a few weeks prior when she lost three precious wedding rings. She ask me if I would be willing to assist them as they were lost at Desert Canyon Golf Resort near Chelan, WA three hours over the mountain pass. She went further to explain that they no longer live in Washington state and had already planned a return visit to the Seattle area and had set aside one day to make the three hour drive to the golf course to look. She said they were planning on getting some metal detectors and seeing what they could do when a friend suggested they go online and find a metal detecting recovery specialist. A quick search online directed them to TheRingFinders where she found my offering of service for the Pacific North West Washington area.  

She went on to explain that she had played a full eighteen holes of golf on that Saturday and Sunday. I asked for more details and learned that just prior to playing on Saturday she took both rings off. She placed them in one of the pockets of her golf pullover windbreaker and zipped it up thinking that would keep them secure. Well unfortunately after nineteen holes of golf when she went to retrieve her precious wedding rings they were gone. The pocket was still zipped up and her pullover was with her the whole time. She had lost a very precious wedding set consisting of her yellow gold diamond wedding band soldered to her yellow gold wedding band that had been custom made in a matching design of her husbands wedding ring. A second white gold wedding band with seven channel set diamonds that was given to her on her 20th wedding anniversary was also lost. 

She told me she had found a small hole in the seam of the pocket that allowed both rings to slip to the inside lining of the jacket. At this point I began asking myself where do we even start searching if these rings just fell out of her clothing anywhere along the golf course. She went on to explain that the inside lining was not stitched at the top edge so it was like a bigger internal pocket. Her idea was that the rings most likely spilled out when she was taking the pullover on and off several times while playing nineteen holes of golf. She remembered only taking the pullover off near her golf cart. However exact details of where these actions took place were not so clear as she had played that course two days consecutively and detailed memories started to blur together.

She confirmed she had already made arrangements with the Desert Canyon Golf Resort management and they welcomed her to come back to search the course for her lost rings. She explained that her and her husband, Keith, already had travel plans set to arrive in Seattle on a Wednesday night and were planning to drive out to the golf course that next Thursday morning irregardless of anything else. 

It didn’t take long for me to be fully on board to support this mission. I explained to her that Thursday was wide open in my schedule and not to worry about getting additional metal detectors. I explained to her this would be a very challenging search due to the large distance traveled over nineteen holes of golf and not having witnessed the area where the rings were lost. I told her not to worry as I would bring some additional metal detectors for her and Keith to use. Knowing what a large search area we had the more machines the better especially as this site was at distance over the mountain pass it would be more challenging for a revisit so I knew we had to take every advantage of this opportunity. 

As planned each of us made the three hour drive over the mountain pass for an early tee time only today we would be swinging metal detectors not clubs. The Desert Canyon staff and local community was amazing. Everyone had been actively searching for the lost wedding rings for the past nineteen days yet to no avail.  Our first order of business was heading directly into the pro shop to speak with Rob the manager. It was at this point I learned that one of Julie’s friends had taken several photos of the group throughout that day of golf. Julie had Rob review the photos as she took notes as he did his best to identify what holes were associated with each photo. When he finished reviewing the photos he slid two golf cart keys across the counter and wished us the best. 

The weather was typical for Eastern Washington at this time of the year. It was cold and windy but the Lord blessed us by holding back the rain and frost so there was no delays in getting started with the search. I allowed Julie and Keith to lead the way as she best knew key areas of the course where she may have taken the pullover off or put it back on. Still there was not definite spots leaving a lot of unknown possibilities over such an expansive search area involving a lot of active movements while playing golf! Never the less we pressed on starting our search on the front nine holes. After completing the front nine and still no rings we took a lunch break to warm up and refuel. Our search continued on with the back nine as the wind started to pickup and the temperature started to drop. As with many long searches even experienced recovery specialist like myself need to push back the doubt and remain in the game to the very end. Around hole five I began to wonder where these rings were hiding knowing that only a few more holes remained and our search would soon be over.

After four hours of actively searching we reached the 6th hole and with in just a few minutes I had a strong target with excellent numbers on my metal detector. As I started to work the ground with my pin-pointer Keith strutted to get excited as this was the only hole from the set of photos that showed her wearing the pullover at the tee box and no jacket on the green. This meant that Julie absolutely took her pullover off somewhere on this hole. As I worked the ground I pulled her yellow gold wedding set from the thick luscious grass and asked how would you like to have this back. At this point all three of us erupt with excitement and disbelief. Julie is overcome with emotion and so very happy to have her wedding rings back. At this point we all took a few steps back as I continued to work the area for her white gold 20th anniversary ring. Within a minute I pulled her second ring from the thick grass to everyones surprise.

Of all the holes she lost her rings on Desert Canyon’s Signature Hole 6. All who visit this hole are blessed with a breath taking view of thick green golf course grass contrasted with the dried out stubble of the rolling hills sides with the Columbia River below and silver lined cloudy skies above. This beautiful creation in nature is an absolute testimony of how God’s hand prepared a path for us free of obstacles allowing us to experience a successful recovery. These rings representing twenty-five years of marriage, love and memories were recovered and will continue with Julie as a reminder that good things still happen and not to loose faith and hope ever.

Please take the time to watch, like, share and subscribe to this story on my YouTube channel. In doing so others will learn of TheRingFinders and know when the time comes there is a specialist nearby that can offer them some experienced support in getting their precious items of value back!

Cheers,

Rose Shaped Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring Lost in the Sand at Huntington Beach…Found and joyously Returned.

I got a call from Roman about a lost ring. He and his wife had been at the beach the night before, and when they were ready to leave his wife Evelin realized her engagement ring was missing. It was dark, and very hard to see as they searched for it. They were unsuccessful in their search, and called me the next day. From what they told me, it seemed as though the county beach cleaning machines had not come through this day, so I felt there was a good chance of a recovery. They told me they would not be able to meet me, but provided a Google Earth shot showing where the loss occurred, and I let them know I was going immediately.

When I got to the area, I lined myself up with the landmarks, and began my search, only to look up as I was being hailed by a young couple waking towards me, “Are you Steve?” I let them know that I was, and Roman and Evelin let me know they were able to work it out for them to come to let me know where to look. It was a good thing, as I was off by about 4o feet. I began my search where Evelin thought she might have lost the ring by shaking sand off their gear. She also showed me another possible area to search, which I would get to as soon as I finished where I was looking already. At that point they left, I believe to go and get some lunch. I did not find her ring in the first area, and began to work my way over to the other area. It was when I reached the spot she was standing when she introduced the second spot I received a nice gold signal, dug, and had a beautiful ring in my scoop. I called to let them know I found the ring, they were so surprised. They had been married for a year and a half, and this ring meant a lot to them. A very blessed experience indeed!

Brittany had been surfing, and had left her car key in her sandals on her towel when she went into the water. When She left, she picked everything up, and then went on what seemed like a bit of a trek to finally get back to her car. When she arrived she realized the key was gone. The stretch of sand from the bike path to the is quite expansive, and as Brittany made the walk back to do the search, it seemed like an experiment in futility. I let her know I would come immediately.

When I got to the beach Brittany found me, and explained what had happened. I surmised that the most likely place to begin was where she had been originally, and then search from there. I started my search going over all of the area that she had gridded with her feet first with no luck. When she said that it might be the whole expanse we might have to search, I asked that she would walk an exact a path as she did when she left. She then took me on a unique trek. I expected a bee line, but she had gone sideways, then doubled back, then off to the bike path. We went slow, while I dug every signal, finding much trash metal, but no key. We got to the bike path, and I asked if she thought we covered the path as close as possible, and she did. She then decided to leave. I told her that I was going to retrace our steps off to each side in order to make sure we did not miss anything, and would call her if I found the key. I went all the way back with nothing, and then began my way back to the bike path. Where she doubled back, about 5 feet from our first walk I got a very strong signal, dug, and had her key. You have to make sure all possibilities are explored, and this time it paid off. I called her and asked her to come and get her key; she was so surprised and happy to get it back. What fun!

 

Don’t let the County beach cleaning machines take your lost valuable, call as soon as possible!
