Its been a very hard week due to the loss of my wife’s father, we’ll miss him very much!I was away for the past week dealing with the preparations of the service and I had 3 calls and 2 that I passed on to others Ring Finders, after I arrived home late last night I was able to do a search for a diamond wedding ring that was lost on Spanish Banks Beach here in Vancouver.
I was extremely exhausted but looking very forward to getting away to the beach and and helping someone find their lost smile as this is more like relaxation for me.I met with Mary at 11pm and she showed me where her wife lost her ring and it took me a little over an hour to find it.
It would have been a quicker search but due to the fact that it was late and dark it took a while for Mary to put me in the correct area but when she did it only took minutes and we found the ring and I got to see her big smile!
Thank you very much for the generous reward Mary it helps me with my gas money and equipment and 15 % of the reward money goes to charity… Children’s Hospital
I love my job!
Lost something…Call ASAP!You can watch the video of the recovery on the link below…
Lost Men’s Platinum Wedding Ring in Richmond, Texas.
The caller Mr. King reported he had lost his wedding ring in his backyard while battling a swarm of honey bees. Mr. King reported a swarm of honey bees had been trying to set-up their new home at his new home, and while trying to evict them things went bad. Apparently the bees were not planning on cooperating and became aggressive and assaulted Mr. King. In the battle for his turf, Mr King managed to lose his ring while in the midst of the fight. The suspects (bees) were later taken into custody by a pest control specialist without further incident. No other injuries were reported.
Mr. King reported his new homes backyard was not sodded and it was extremely muddy due to recent rains, he suggested wearing boots due to the yards current condition.
With a new Minelab CTX 3030 in hand, I wadded through Mr. King’s backyard and found his ring buried in about 1″ of mud. The new CTX 3030 is off to a good start.
I read a story by Cliff Scott today, a member of the ring finders. The story was about helping Catherine find her beloved bracelet, so it motivated me to go back and finish a short story covering my last two recoveries. The first one I didn’t even get past the introductions and the ring was found. Fortunately a few questions and a strong suggestion saved the day. Like Cliff after hearing the story of a lost wedding ring I made a suggestion,“ Turn your daughters pockets inside out while looking for the ring” You see the 6 year old daughter was playing dress up with her big sisters wedding ring when it went missing. Mom said she had already gone in the pockets so with that done I began asking the daughters a series of questions and Mom went inside. After about five minutes mom came out smiling with a ring in her fingers. Turns out mom had previously only patted down her daughters clothes. Good deal and problem solved. You see there is a big difference between patting down your pockets and actually turning them inside out. I guess you could say, “A ring of a difference.”

“Rent a metal detector, buy a metal detector, or borrow a metal detector?” That was the question Michele and Joe, from Dunstable Massachusetts kept asking themselves. Dunstable is a community about 35 miles south of Nashua New Hampshire, where my shop is located. You see Joe lost his wedding ring at the end of the warm season in 2012 and a few attempts had already been made to find the ring. While investigating how to use a borrowed metal detector on you tube, the couple came across a video on The Ring Finders and that is how I got involved. After arriving at the home and meeting Michele I went through a series of questions and answers with her. Joe was out and not being able to interview Joe in person put me at a little disadvantage. At first the ring had to have been lost in the front yard or where the owner was dumping grass clippings. No real specific place was given where the ring came off and it was a big yard. You understand some people actually see or feel the exact moment a ring has left their finger. That was not the situation in this case. I still felt confident that if the ring was in the yard we would find it. Well, after 3 trips to the home and many hours later the ring had not turned up. I was starting to get a bad feeling, but then I realized I was veering from my typical search routine. Michele was extremely nice and very helpful, but I still had not been able to visit with Joe. When Joe arrived and we talked I discovered the ring could have been lost in the front, back, or side yard and also where the grass clippings were dumped, in one of three piles. With this expanded area to hunt I decided to start from scratch and follow a standard grid search. I identified targets in the ground and Paige, my daughter, investigated each one with my Pro Pointer. About 15 minutes after starting, over my right shoulder I heard a big Ah! The rest of the story was filled with emotion, smiles, and laughter. What a great experience for all involved. For personal reasons Michele and Joe chose not to be on camera, which is completely understandable. I can’t wait until my next phone call and the chance to reunite a ring with a smiling owner!
Dan R. was trimming some trees off his property and clearing some of his land and forgot he was wearing a gold bracelet until walking in the house and noticed it gone.
He went back out to where he thought he might have lost it and could not find it. He got on the computer and found www.theringfinders.com and located me through
the directory. I came out the next day with a friend, Dave, and attempted to look for it unsuccessfully in the rain. Dan paid for my gas to make the 82 mile round trip
and I told him “I will be back but this time on my dime”. A week later I came out with another detector friend, Larry, and with better weather was still unsuccessful
so I didn’t want to fail Dan and his wife so I told him I was coming back. The third time I came back with my brother Doug, we have been a very successful team
in hunting down these lost items. After about 30 minutes Doug came up with the gold bracelet just on the edge of the flower bed and the grass.
Another happy couple and in the words of our director, Chris Turner, “I love my job”.
1. Lost men’s Platinum wedding band in Houston, believed to have possibly been lost at a soccer field/baseball field. Searched the area for several hours confirming for the owner this was not the location of his lost ring.
2. Lost Gold Tennis Bracelet with 52 (1/4) diamonds, in College Station. The caller report the bracelet had been lost in either a horse stall or horse arena. The caller later reported while waiting for my available response, he rented a metal detector and tried finding the bracelet himself. He said they were having a lot of difficulty figuring out the metal detector and placed a gold ring in the horse stall for testing purposes. They lost the ring, and started a search on their hands and knees to find the ring, while searching for the ring, they accidentally found the bracelet. The also later found the ring in the stall as well.
3. Lost Men’s Citadel Class Ring in Galveston, the caller reported he had accidental dropped his ring over the edge of a pier while assisting a friend with his boat. The caller reported he believed the water was approximately 15 feet deep and felt pretty sure of its location. As, I was preparing gear for a water recovery, the caller contacted me and reported he had found his ring on the deck of the boat under some debris.
4. Training in a local park, keeping the dust off both the equipment and operator. (see pictures) a couple of nice sterling silver pieces, clad coin (modern day), and several pieces of trash.
Got a call about a lost Mason’s ring at a yacht club in 10-12ft of water. The person was securing his pontoon to the dock and the ring slipped off onto the abyss. He had worn the ring for the last 40 years and he planned to hand it down to his son in the future.
Joe searched on the internet in hopes of finding someone in the area that may be able to help find his lost ring from the lake bottom. He quickly found the Ring Finders site, and shortly after was on the phone with me, asking if I could help.
Made the arrangements, grabbed my dive gear out of storage, did some gear checks and got on the road to LaPorte.
Things were lookin bad right from the get go, really choppy conditions up top, and then who would have thought there would have been hundreds of unfired 22 and 357 rounds scattered everywhere under this boat slip, right in the core search area.
Since I never imagined so many targets in that small area, I didn’t bring my mesh finds bag, so after stuffing my wetsuit with the rounds, I was about to call it and arrange a future trip to try another recovery technique, but decided to try just a little longer… Good thing, literally on my last scan with the pinpointer I found the ring. Joe was a happy camper!
Last year I visited Sandy after she called me about her lost silver necklace in the blueberry patch. I had success in finding it. I gave Sandy my card incase she needed my services again. Well I got a call from Sandy yesterday telling me she lost her garage door opener while cutting her grass and dumping the clippings in some tall weeds to the side of her garage. She and a friend looked for it the day she lost it but didn’t have any luck. I told Sandy I would be out around 1pm the next day but gave her a call this morning and asked if I could come out earlier due to a pending storm, she said come on over. My detector friend Dave and myself headed over for the 12 mile trip and started to look for the opener. Sandy had to go get her dog and would return in about an hour. She was hardly out of the drive when Dave’s detector went off and there it was. I gave the opener to her husband who is recouping from hip surgery and he said “thank you” and told me Sandy would send me a check. Another great adventure doing a job I love to do.
The call came in Saturday afternoon and the young man said that his wife had lost her wedding ring at Stanley Park while taking wedding photos. He asked if I could come out and take a look and I said that I could be there in two hours as I was visiting my dad who lives a good hour plus from Vancouver.
I grabbed my detector and headed for the park and when I got there I received a call from the young man who I thought was going to meet me there to show me the area but as we talked I realized he was the groom and it was his bride that lost the ring.
They were at the reception celebrating and he told me over the phone where he knew the ring was lost and I thought I was in the right area but not 100% sure. After 3 1/2 hours I packed it up until the next morning when I received a call from her bridesmaid.
We met up and she was able to show me the area that they were taking pictures and she told me the story about the ring that was lost…It was the brides great-grandmothers ring that was handed down to the brides grandmother then past on to the brides mother and her mother gave it to her on her wedding day.
This would make the ring extremely sentimental and to lose it on that special day just broke her heart. After getting good directions of where they were and what they were doing I was able to utilize my process of elimination and shortly after three hours I found her great-grandmothers wedding ring.
I have the greatest Job in the world… I get to make people smile!
Thank you so much for reading my blogs, until the next one.
