Roadside Assistance…..

……Came twice for Kristen. After dark on a rainy evening a few days ago she hit a pothole flattening her tire while leaving a family gathering. Assisting the person changing the tire, she was in and out of her vehicle. Back on the road and safely at home she noticed her rings were missing. Her and husband returned in the dark to search only finding themselves at a dead end. Fearing there was no outlet on this rough road we chatted for a few and agreed to proceed with caution this morning and search the area where she remembered being.

Turning on my MXT I quickly started a grid pattern up and down the side of the road, yielding but not being detoured by a few junk items below the frosty grass surface, up went the metal detectors discrimination with the attitude it’s my way or the highway. After 20 minutes or so I was closing in on the area in question and not far off the road I got a nice solid signal over a compressed section of grass where a vehicle was parked or where one drove off the road. Pinpointing the spot I pulled up the squashed grass and discovered Kristen’s gorgeous, 2 soldered rings pressed into the ground. Calling her over she reached down and lifted it out. I quickly checked for any damage with my jeweler’s loupe and saw none. She hit the road again and with the kids at play was totally thrilled that her ring was rescued and relieved that this incident passed with care.

Company Car Keys Lost in North Spokane,FOUND!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

On this very cold night, Carlton learned how Newton’s third law works when you slip on ice. Carlton was heading out the door to his car when the 90 degree turn in the side walk covered in ice, took his footing away. His feet continued to move forward while his body fell backwards. In his right hand was the keys to his company owned vehicle. As he tried stopping his fall the keys went flying into the sky. The keys flew about 50ft away from where he fell. After Carlton and his family made several attempts to locate the keys with no success they decided to look on the roof. After that failed attempt, Google was the next step. They found a few metal detector rental location but no one was open at 6pm on a Sunday. Then Google showed them The Ring Finders. I answered the phone, and quickly found out where Carlton was located and headed his way. I could see when I got to the house the snow had been raked where the family thought the keys might be. I searched there with on luck and expanded my grid pattern to accommodate the force at which Carlton may have hucked his keys. I made about five passes in my grid pattern and got a signal that was 0 inches in depth. The pinpointer beeped with excitement as the black key fob popped out of the snow. Carlton may have lost his company’s vehicle key and also the way he was getting home that night. But The Ring Finders are always ready to help and return what was lost.

lost Silver Ring lost in CDA Idaho….FOUND!!!

  • from Spokane (Washington, United States)
Contact:

Sometimes lost ring searches arrive in our lives in the most unique ways, regardless of how they may come, recovering lost rings is The Ring Finders purpose.

Alex and Sam had a problem today. Sam had a cup in her hand and that cup had it out for Sam. See, Sam walked outside with her cup in hand and right before she reached her car the handle of the cup got snagged on her silver ring and the ring flew off into the freshly fallen snow. The frantic couple raked the snow with no luck. After no one would rent them a metal detector, Alex posted on facebook that a ring had been lost. That’s where I came into the story. I sent Sam a text and then we had a brief chat about where and when. I loaded up my gear and headed off to Cda Idaho. After reaching the destination of the couple’s front yard, I relived the moment with Sam of how she lost her ring. I quickly scanned the area where they raked and right at the end of the rake marks in the snow I got a hit in the high 80s on the vdi scale. The signal was reading less then an inch in depth so I turned my pinpointer and made quick work of revealing Sam’s lost Silver. I have to say her silver ring was one of the most beautiful silver rings I’ve seen. It had a large opal stone with silver facets that streamed across the tops of it. See the pictures. Sam told me that her mom had given her that ring 7 years ago when she was in high school. The back story coupled with the beautiful ring made my trip well worth it and is what makes The Ring Finders the best directory ever created.

Gold Wedding Band Recovered and Returned in West Chester, PA!

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Boyd reached out to me after losing his beautiful, large gold wedding band while landscaping his backyard in West Chester, PA. He had been looking for it for a week with no luck and was about to give up when a friend of his referred him to to me and the Ringfinder directory. I had helped his friend find a lost phone with my metal detector the year before. Anyway, I agreed to meet Boyd at his house and he walked me through the facts surrounding the lost ring. He was 100% sure he had it on while he was raking leaves and cleaning up brush around his backyard. After losing it he spent hours looking with his eyes and raking around in case it was hiding underneath remaining leaves. As I always do I started by demonstrating my machine to Boyd…I throw my wedding band on the ground and let him hear how clearly my detector picks it up. Basically I want him to feel confident that if I swing the detector over it…I’m not going to miss it!!! and miss it I did not! About 10 minutes into the search I heard that satisfying surface gold signal with my metal detector! It was underneath some leaves and brush in an area where Boyd said he had searched several times. Boyd was very happy to have his ring back in his possession! I told him being a ringfinder is always a lot more fun when you’re able to return the missing item!

Sand and Gravel Quarry… Broken Equipment…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Chris Turner- Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP  Anytime   778-838-3463

 

Most of my searches are for lost rings, cell phones, car and house keys… Today I got a call to travel two hours to a rock quarry in Agassiz BC, Armstrong Sand and Gravel LTD, to look for a broken part of machinery. It was the finger from a backhoe that had broken off and was hiding somewhere in the rock and gravel, out of sight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was a huge concern for if it made its way into the rock crusher it would’ve destroyed it completely (weighs close to 200 pounds), not a good time as we are just dealing with disastrous floods in the area for the past week. I didn’t realize how important a rock quarry is and how essential this service is, as without them it would be impossible to rebuild infrastructure’s like roads and railroad tracks, This company was incredibly busy unlike any other year in their history, section of our highway were closed for close to a week and we have lost the use of the Coquihalla highway that is the “lifeline” between BC and the rest of Canada. Most likely to re-open in January, Abbotsford which suffered huge floods are said to have a two year recovery ahead of them to rebuild their infrastructure… The floods caused at least 450 million in damages. Local crops were contaminated, vegetable crops destroyed by floodwaters.

 

My search took approximately one hour and 30 minutes and I found it in the third location.  It was covered up and buried but not deep, they were very very happy that it was found and they can continue crushing rocks and getting trucks out to rebuild the infrastructure’s and help our roads get fixed.

Lost Gold Ring Found In Birmingham Michigan

Yardcore Daddy

The warmer than usual weather this week in the Detroit area was drawing people out for one last property cleanup effort. One of those people was Barrett. Barrett considers his yard a sacred place….a personal retreat and takes great pride in keeping his yard in pristine condition. Eager to get out of the house he approached the task of removing the leaves from under the bushes. Once in motion, moving around the bushes positioned the leaves ready to rake into the large pile. Once completed, he noticed his ring slipped off. This afternoon I turned on my MXT metal detector and scanned under the bushes. Nothing was detected in the loose dirt. I double checked the area with my Garrett carrot pin-pointer with the same result. Resuming the search with the MXT around the bushes and moving towards the leaf pile I got a metal signal in the range of where his ring should be on the detector meter. Pinpointing revealed the metal item was shallow and poking the pin-pointer into the thick ivy revealed his shiny gold wedding band! As I handed it to him he was thrilled it was found and now he could continue bagging up the leaves without worry and while enjoying the upcoming holidays, can look out the window at his grand designs.

Vancouver Ring Finder Chris Turner- Ring Recovery Specialist…Lost your ring?… Metal Detecting Service/Call ASAP  Anytime   778-838-3463

 

I received a call last night for help to find a lost Ring that went missing one day before he called me. He told me he was cleaning out the gutters when he felt his ring come off his finger, he knew the approximate area but couldn’t t find it. He found TheRingFinders online and gave me a call.

I came out the next morning and he showed me what he was doing and where suspected the ring would be, the only problem was it should’ve been pretty visible and easily spotted. The fact that it was white gold and there was a lot of rocks in the area it could easily hide there so I put on a north south east west great search of the area and after approximately two hours I did not find his ring.

The chances of making it to the road was slim but you have to look everywhere and think out of the box and to go to where it doesn’t make sense, guess what? That’s where I found it! On The Road for 2 days, lots of dog walkers passing by, run over a few times by cars so his ring has some battle scars but it’s back where it belongs! Out of all the years I have help people find rings it never really surprises me where I end up finding them, the only thing is you really have to push yourself away from where you believe it should be and sometimes that’s hard to do when you are so focussed on where these people believe it could be, if you know what I mean. Well the smile says it all…

Lost White Gold & Diamonds Engagement Ring at Aulani Resort…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)
Contact:


This Ring Find began when I was called by the Aulani Beach Team. They told me a guest lost her White Gold with Diamonds Engagement ring somewhere in the dry sand by their beach chairs. I told them I was doing a scuba hunt for a ring the next morning at the resort next door. Since I would be waiting for the sunrise I said I’d hunt for their ring first. The beach team gave me a 2nd row umbrella 4 location to start. When I arrived the next morning it was still dark so I moved all the location chairs out of the way first then I grabbed the Nox from my car and started the hunt. No ring in that box. Puzzled I noticed a guy sitting nearby drinking a cup of coffee intently watching me. I asked him if it was his wife that lost the ring and he said “No” but he saw the couple last night tearfully sifting sand looking for her lost ring. He was positive I was searching in the wrong spot. He was sure it was 3rd row umbrella 5. So I returned the other lounge chairs and cleared the new area. The gentleman walked away wishing me luck and as soon as he said that I got a nice tone on the Nox and in one scoop there was the ring. Thank you for having a messenger on the beach Lord! I informed the beach team of the successful recovery and they called the guest’s room. They said she burst into tears and that’s when I found out Shana from Ohio was only married one day and on her honeymoon when the ring fell off the lounge chair and disappeared. Shana and her husband were very grateful and obviously elated for the recovery. Honeymoon memories! Aloha to Shana!
