Lost my rings in the snow! Surrey BC

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

The picture above is of a lady who lost both of her rings… diamond engagement ring and diamond wedding band, while shoveling snow off her mothers driveway in late December.

After 5 minutes or so of shoveling the driveway this young lady took off her gloves because they were soaked, 20 minutes later she looked down and noticed both rings were gone.

It became dark and cold, with her car lights aiming at the piles of snow, she spent the next few hours that evening searching for her beloved wedding rings.
She didn’t want to go home and tell her husband that she lost her rings.

Soaking wet and cold she finally pack it in and later that night when she got home she broke the sad news to her husband…
The next day they would search together for the rings, after digging and searching in the cold snow without any luck they gave up the search.

The evening before, her sister had heard of the lost rings and researched the internet for someone that could help.
She typed in the words… ”lost my ring in the snow” and found the number for a treasure hunter in Vancouver who has a service called… ”Finders”
I received the call and was on my way to help find the rings, when I got there I listened to her story and I was very confident that I would recover them for her.
It wasn’t a hard search as it only took me 5 minutes or so to find the diamond engagement ring.

This was the big diamond ring and they were very happy that was found first! It was the wedding band that would be the tough one to find.

After a search of the area the first ring was found in, it took almost 1 hour to find the wedding band, I found it close to my truck on the side of the road.

It was a good thing she called as that ring would have been found by someone after the snow melted or it could have been caught in someone’s car or truck tire and driven away.
I love my Job!

Lost Diamond Ring in Seattle… Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

I received an email from a young lady in Seattle WA. on Dec. 26 who was in a panic over losing her beautiful diamond engagement ring in the front yard of her parents place while playing in the snow with her family and husband to be.

After reading her email I could tell that this ring meant the world to her as it put her Christmas on hold while she and her family spent Christmas day searching for her ring that was lost some where in the yard under the snow.

I contacted her and told her I’d find a treasure hunter from her area to help find the ring… After a few hours searching my contacts list I couldn’t find anyone that would take on the challenge as it was Christmas holidays and people where with their family.

I called to discuss the loss of her ring and she told me that it was given to her in September 08 and they were planning on getting married in June 09.

Talking on the phone I could tell how heart broken she was as most people are in this situation. I discussed the lost ring with my wife and she suggested that we should go and find the ring for her, as she knows how much I enjoy the search.

The morning of Dec.27 I took my brother to the airport at 4 am then drove home to pick up my wife and my metal detectors and drove (3 1/2 hours) south of Vancouver to Seattle.

After the long drive we met up at a gas station close to her parents place were the ring was lost. I followed them to the location then I asked all my usual questions on the area she was throwing snowballs and sliding down the hill on the side of her yard. I took all the information and began my grid search.

After close to 1 1/2 hours and a complete cross grid of her front yard we had no ring…

Where could it be I thought to myself, maybe she threw a snowball up on the roof, or maybe the ring got caught on her Nephews jacket and walked away from the area…? Or did she even have the ring on? Some times people end up finding their ring in their house weeks later.

The thing is if you don’t see the ring fly off your finger, its a bit of a needle in a haystack…

As I was thinking to myself about where the ring could be I walked up to a short hedge by the front door. It was about five feet long and four feet high.

I detected the one side of the hedge then the top and I started to search the other side when I heard a faint signal.

I pushed the loop of the metal detector further into the hedge and out fell the diamond ring… The last place I checked… The ring was caught in the branches of the hedge and dislodged when I pushed the loop in.

This lady was so excited and overwhelmed by the discovery! She later told me that she couldn’t think of getting married in any other ring but that one… Can you blame her?

Gypsy-18th century diamond ring found in ocean…White Rock Beach

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

In late February 2008 last year I received a call from a young lady who needed help finding her lost ring. I listened to her story as she described the days events leading to the loss for her antique gypsy diamond engagement ring at White Rock beach, in South Surrey BC.

It was a heart felt story as this lady had lost two family members shortly before the day she lost her ring. When I heard her story I was determined to help find this ring and give her back a little happiness.

She told me on the day she lost her ring she had taken a walk on the White Rock pier to unwind and collect her thoughts. It was a cool day in early January as she sat down on a bench and took off her glove to get something out of her purse.

Just then as she pulled her glove off her ring went flying across the wooden pier floor, and fell through the cracks into the water below. After telling her husband about the lost ring, he went out with a rented metal detector, for two days at low tide to search for his wife’s engagement ring.

He did everything he could do to find the ring but was unsuccessful in his efforts… The ring was lost.

Close to 6 weeks later on CBC radio she heard a story about a treasure hunter who reunites people with their lost jewellery, with nothing to lose she called Finders. I listened as she described the location of her lost ring and I asked her if she could meet me to show the exact area the ring fell into the water.

She explained to me that the next day they were off to Hawaii for a vacation and wouldn’t be able to meet me. I asked lots of questions and took notes on the location and felt good about the search the next day.

The interesting thing about this search was that so much time had passed from the time the ring was lost, to the day I searched. There is always a chance another treasure hunter already found the ring or how far did the ring move with all the tides changes in that 6 week time frame.

When I arrive at the beach and found the location that she gave me over the phone, I realize the low tide wasn’t out far enough. This wasn’t going to stop me from searching, I took off my shoes and rolled up my pant legs and began my search.

Within 15 minutes and two frozen legs I found her ring! I get just as excited as the people I find it for, I just don’t show it. But that day because no one was with me, I shouted…Yah Hoo to myself.

Knowing they were on their way to Hawaii, I called and left a message that the ring was found. I received a call a few days later when she checked her messages, she sounded very excited.

When they got back in town I met her at her work, which was very close to my home and gave her back her ring. She gave me a very nice reward and I gave 50% to Charity.

After talking for a bit I explained how hard it is to make people aware of my ”Finders” service, you have to be a millionaire to advertise. I told her that there are so many people who could use this service but don’t know that I’m out there to help.

She told me that she knew a friend who writes for a local newspaper and that she’d get in touch with her… That call turned into 2 newspaper stories, 1 radio spot and 1 CTV News story. I’ve been very fortunate that the press likes to do a human interest story… on good news!

I love my Job!
