Hi. My name is Larry Fluckiger.
I joined The Ring Finders to help people find their lost wedding rings and other jewelry in Provo, and all of north and central Utah. I would love to bring my metal detecting equipment to find your lost items. You only pay me what you think my service is worth. Give me a call so we can work out a time for me to come.
I understand how devastating it is to lose a prized wedding ring. I’d love to help you find yours.
I look forward to hearing from you.
I received a call about a lost ring in the snow. She was cleaning off her car of snow, then removed her glove to flicked her hand to get the rest of the snow off. Then moments later she noticed that her ring was missing from her hand. After her husband and herself searched in the snow with no luck. They gave me call to help. Within an hour I was there to help them and started searching. After eliminating many buried items in the frozen ground, there was the ring. He and she was very happy to have the ring back.

Having been frozen out of the ocean by cold temperatures, high winds, and blizzards, I welcomed the challenge to find a lost engagement ring.
When I arrived at the Preschool location, I was intimidated by the seven foot high piles of snow and did not know exactly where to start my search. I was about an hour early. So I started the search correcting my equipment for the railings and re-bar in the walkways and concrete benches. The first hour yielded only one L.L.Bean button and a few pieces of tinfoil.
The school janitor came out to see what I was doing. It was good luck for me as he had searched for the ring two days previously. When he searched, there was two inches less snow that had fallen and been removed from the walkways. He told me where the wedding band was found, about ten feet from were I was searching at the time.
Lesley showed up right on time and told the same story so I knew I was in the correct area. After moving what felt like a ton of snow and detecting each shovel full I started detecting in harder to reach area and moving more snow. While reaching over a railing, I was shoveling snow from a five foot high snow pile that was between two pillars only 10 inched apart, an area too small to swing my detector.
I was detecting the third pile of removed snow and heard my detector sing out the sweet note of gold. I moved the pile a bit and saw the ring with its diamond sparking amongst the frozen ice crystals.
The rest is history: My first 2015 Ring Return search ended with Smiles and hugs all around and a Thank You card that I will cherish for years to come.

I was contacted this morning by Cordell regarding assistance in locating the post tension cables in a concrete foundation. Cordell advised his daughters home was under renovation, and he was needing to confirm the location and existence of the post tension cables in the foundation.
I met with Cordell an hour later and observed the renovations of his daughters home in progress. Cordell said the foundation was being fixed-leveled and his was wanting to confirm the location of the existing post tension cables.
Once the first horizontal cable was located, pin-pointing the remaining horizontal and vertical cables at five foot intervals was quite easy.
A handheld TRX pin-pointer performed this function with ease.

Vanessa was out on the playground supervising the preschool children during recess. As kids will do they were running around and having a good time chasing each other. Vanessa knelt down and one of the children run up to her and gave her a big hug. She stood up and moved to another location to keep an eye on some of the other children. Sensing something was amiss, she reached up to her ear and felt something hit her hand. She looked down and there was the back to her Diamond earring. She frantically looked for the earring and asked the rest of the staff and children to help her look. They found nothing. Vanessa went to a store and purchased an inexpensive metal detector and soon discovered that she didn’t know how to operate it. She searched the internet for help and found SRARC, She made contact with Mike Miller and he put together a team which included Rick Magyar, Ed Osmar, Chris Duerden, and Tom Jones. They searched that afternoon until the rain ran them out. The next day they returned and hunted for another hour and all of a sudden Mike got lucky. We are so happy that we were able to find and return Vanessa’s Diamond Stud and she was nothing but smiles when we dropped it into her hand. The kicker is that in the process of hunting we found a ring and pendant that had been lost by other staff members and were able to return them as well. Great Job Team!!!!!!
New Years Eve I received a call from Milton’s father, Mr. Mark, asking if he could borrow my metal detector to find his son’s lost ring?!! I explained that I normally do not loan out my detector but I would be more than willing to come over and look for his son’s ring. It took just a few minutes to walk over to Mr. Mark’s apartment and their I met Milton and his little family and listened to his story.
Milton said his ring was sort of loose to start with and he normally does not wear it, but since they were on vacation he decided to leave it on. It was a beautiful warm day (compared to the rest of the country!) and Milton was on the driveway playing ball with his two kids. At one point he began throwing the ball straight up, with two hands, and on his final and hardest throw he felt his ring go flying just as he released the ball. He did not hear it hit the concrete so figured it must have landed somewhere in the grass. So they began to search all the grass along the driveway and even used a rake hoping to expose the ring.
As I listened to Milton explain the details I felt very confident that we could find his ring somewhere in the grass. So I began grid searching.
After an hour or so and no ring I began to think maybe the ring landed on the roof and rolled off in another area. Still no luck. It was getting dark so I assured them that I would be back the next day.
Later that evening I remembered what Chris Turner said about using a test ring to narrow down the search area. So in my collection of old rings I have an assortment of copper rings used for plumbing that work great for test throws. Very similar to rings in size and weight.
So, New Years Day I met Milton and we did a few test throws. Sure enough the first throw landed in the grass and then the 2nd throw landed further and closer to the building. There were 3 foot high bushes along the front so I did a very thorough search of each bush and sure enough, there hiding at the base of one of the bushes was Milton’s ring!
Have something hiding that you just cannot find? Maybe I can help!

Sarah and her husband had spent the day at Laguna Beach. The weather has been awesome, sunny and temperatures in the mid 80’s. They left about 2pm to get on the road before traffic got too bad. Thirty minutes down the road Sarah realiz
ed she did not have her wedding ring set. Two very special rings that she has worn for over 25 years. Her and her husband had recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary last week. She knew that she had put the rings in the cup holder of her beach chair while putting on sunscreen. There was a possibility that the rings were in the sand where they had been sitting. Returning to the beach and sifting through the sand with their fingers with no success . Sarah Google searched “how to find a ring in the sand” . Up popped a link to TheRingFinders with my contact information. I was in my car about 8 miles away, but it took about 20 – 25 minutes to get to her location. Just as I pulled up Sarah’s husband found the larger ring. I was able to locate the smaller ring after a few swings of my CTX3030 minelab metal detector. It was a weak signal which may have been because it was in a vertical position. It may have been buried a little deeper because they had been moving around a lot of sand doing their search. What’s most important is Sarah has both of her very special rings back on her finger, hopefully for another 25 years. Sarah commented how her smart phone and the internet worked to bring us together. I agree, I have the metal detecting equipment and know how to use them, but the smart phones and internet makes these recoveries happen.
Adam and his wife Lori had just moved to sunny Tampa from rainy Oregon and we’re taking in a gorgeous February day with relatives at the beach. During a game of volleyball Adam spiked the ball and then watched as his ring flew off his finger into the deep sand. Quick thinking and a Google search lead him to our SRARC ring finders sight. Lori spoke with team member Tom Jones who gave Stan Flack a call to see if he could give it a go. Fortunately for Adam he saw exactly where it went in to the sand. A 30 second sweep by Stan and bingo. Welcome to Florida Adam and Lori. Go Ducks.
Very nice article run in the Wisconsin State Journal about a recent find, as well as some other past finds.
