While detecting a local park, I found a 2018 Grad Ring. It had a date, the school initials, a first name and initials. I called the ring company and the school and neither were able to help. In the end, I connected with some students that attended the school at that time and was able to find out who the ring belonged to and in turn, I was able to contact her through Facebook. Here is that return video.

I received a text message the other night in regards to a lost ring at Spanish Banks Beach, in the ocean. The message asked if there would still be a chance to find it the next day as we were being hit with some high winds. I text back and said absolutely worth a shot, so we set up a time to meet the next morning, when I met this young man I could tell how much this really meant to him and his wife. He went on to tell me that he was only married for a little over a year and the ring meant the world to him and I could tell how much he loved his wife and didn’t want to upset her with the news that evening. He waited to tell her the next morning and he said she was very upset and he was in the doghouse for a little while, but after telling her he had asked me to come out and help that put her mind to rest a little bit.
He told me it was dark when he entered the water so I got him to mark off an area for me to search, I also knew because it was dark he may be off the mark by who knows 10, 20, 30 yards?. He had to get to work so I got down to business and started searching the area where the high title line met the dry line. He told me he was only 10 feet below the high tide line, of course I would search much further down for the what if factor. I was pretty confident his ring was going to bed down pretty quickly in the sand due to the weight of his ring.
After close to 6 1/2 hours (17,961 steps) unfortunately I did not find his ring, I reached out to let him know, I could tell he was very disappointed, I told him I was going back the next day to extend the search area. That night I laid in bed thinking what I could have done differently, was there something I didn’t do or somewhere I didn’t look? I knew because it was dark he could be off the mark, I did overextend my grid search but it wasn’t until the next morning when I saw where the high tide line was on the beach that changed everything.
When I got there the first day and looked for the high tide line and knowing it was a 14.74 high tide I was confident I was looking at the right line and started my search from there down. The next day I saw the high tide line I was working the day before and I saw my grid lines more than 20 feet down…Game changer! That told me the high tide ling wasn’t that high up, there was a seaweed line across the beach where the high tide was and I started my search from there and down and about 40 yards east out of my grid I found his ring!
Makes me so happy when I can find and continue these beautiful stories for people! The ring was close to a foot down and in a few days it may have been too deep to detect.

Kathleen reached out to me 3 weeks ago after finding me in the Ring Finders Directory. She lives in the Fairmont section of Philadelphia with her husband Eric. She was quite stressed and anxious as she conveyed to me that her beautiful custom-made white gold diamond engagement ring had gone missing. Over the phone she did a great job explaining the details surrounding the lost ring….she keeps both her rings(diamond & band) in a bowl on the kitchen counter…the bowl is shared also by her and Eric’s car keys. They were moving both their cars in and out of driveway and garage so they could start their day. Next thing she knows her band is in the bowl…but no diamond ring! She and Eric turn the inside and outside of the house upside down looking for the ring figuring when one of them grabbed their keys from the bowl they accidently grabbed the ring too…or possibly the ring was stuck on one of the keys. After hours searching the kitchen, cars, stairs, outside steps, driveway and garage…No luck. So she calls me….I’m happy to talk to her and give her advice but I’m really thinking my metal detector really won’t help much because if the ring fell….it would most likely be on the floor, driveway, stairs or someplace that she would see without the aid of a metal detector. I always like to manage expectations and I do not like to ask someone for a call-out fee when it’s unlikely I’m going to be successful. She does mention this narrow garden bed that runs downward along their front stairs to the driveway. She tells me its a very small area with not a lot of plants/shrubs. I recommended that she thoroughly search the entire area again…including that garden bed just with her eyes and maybe a flashlight. I told her if she still wants me to come out she can call me back. 3 weeks later!!!!!….she calls me and says she would like me to come and search with my metal detector. I admire her refusal to give up!!!!
I got there today and met both Kathleen and Eric. As I arrived and was walking up the steps I saw the little garden bed she was talking about…a small area jammed solid with low junipers. No way I’m able to sweep my detector in that bed….happy I brought my 6-inch coil! I met them in the kitchen and she went through again the details of how the ring came up missing. I’m still thinking based on everything she tells me it’s either in one of the cars or on the driveway or stairs. We go outside and I quickly scan the driveway and garage area…no luck. I then start working my metal detector down the stairs in and out of the garden bed with the juniper shrubs. I’m pushing junipers up while shoving my detector underneath and sweeping my detector the best I can in the tight space. I was getting some signals on and off again from a cable that was running through the bed….but no signals suggestive of a gold ring. Eric and Kathleen were looking down on me from the top of the stairs. I found out later Eric had just suggested to his wife that they may have to accept the fact the ring is gone forever when I got an amazing signal from my machine…I was under a juniper shrub 3/4 of the way down the steps. I pushed the shrub out of the way…and was crazy surprised to see this beautiful white gold diamond ring sitting there amongst the leaves and roots. I took a closer look to make sure what I was seeing….when I was sure it was, in fact, a diamond ring I looked upward to Kathleen and Eric with a big smile and nodded my head yes. I think they were stunned and confused….So I nodded my head again indicating yes…I think I heard “no way…you found it?”. I then reached under the shrub picked up the ring and handed it to Kathleen. She screamed and ran into the house with it to share the news! I found out soon after that the ring was custom made with diamonds that were from generations past and the sentimental value of the ring was close to priceless to them. As a Ring FInder sometimes you go on a job and you expect a good result and recovery…I had my doubts about this one. Have to give Kathleen credit for never giving up! I was very happy over being able to reunite this nice couple with their beautiful ring!!!

He lost his fifth generation ring while walking/playing with his dog. After giving me the boundaries I went to work. It wasn’t until we expanded the boundaries that the ring was found. Watch the video below for the full story.
Here is a testimonial regarding this search.
My husband Mykal received a very special ring from his father, on our wedding day last year. It was in the family for 5 generations. Sometime in May of this year, we were playing in the backyard with our German Shepherd. He was throwing the ball to Max as he normally did. At the end of the night, he took Max out in front of the house for a quick walk, as it was dark. That night before bed, he realized the ring was no longer on his finger. The next day we spent the entire day looking for it, both in the back and front yard, with no success. Every so often, thereafter, we would walk with our eyes directed towards the grass, hoping to catch a shimmer of the ring against the green background. Mykal almost gave up searching. He kept saying that somebody probably found it. Since we don’t live on a busy street, I thought that possibility was less likely. I was convinced we would find it at some point, we just had to keep searching. At the end of September, Mykals’ parents came over and asked about the ring. Mykal replied that it was not with him (it technically wasn’t a lie). Mykal knew that it was only a matter of time before his father would ask to see it, or encourage him further, to see him wearing it, at least on special occasions. I decided to take it upon myself to do about of searching. Not in the backyards, but on the internet. If the ring was out there, I knew a metal detector would pick it up. We were going to buy one from the store. Since most people that buy metal detectors to find a ring, end up reselling it once they have found their lost item or after they have given up the search, I figured we should look into purchasing a used one before we go to the store. I have never been on the Kijiji site before but knew of it and thought that it would be a good place to start. I typed in ‘used metal detectors’ in the search bar’. The first two posts were actual metal detectors (I was praying they included instructional manuals!). The third post was titled, “TheCalgaryRingFinder.” I was intrigued and curious so I clicked on the link and the brief description mentioned Evan and the service he was offering. He would come to the place where you thought you lost the item, and he would search for it. His reward for finding it, if he found it, was whatever you thought the value was for finding said lost item. I thought this was an awesome deal! I spoke to Mykal and we called him right away. Like a detective, Evan asked a series of questions relating to the ring; where we last saw it, how long ago, the approximate area where we thought this ring could be located in. He explained the process and told us he would come over around 5pm that same evening. We were so excited! Both at the possibility of finding the ring, but also at putting our minds to ease if we didn’t find it, knowing we did everything possible. Evan arrived and went straight to work, after Mykal gave him an outline of the area where the ring could be. Anxiously, I cleaned our home, waiting. The sun started setting and the hope of the ring being found was slimmer and slimmer. As it became completely dark, I was surprised Evan was still searching for the ring. Mykal and I sat down in the living room and we said a prayer to St. Anthony (the patron saint of lost things). We thanked God for everything we had our lives, especially each other and said that whatever God’s will is whether the ring should be found or not, we will accept it. We are thankful and happy for our health and everything God has already given us. Two minutes later the phone rang and Evan asked to see Mykal out back. I started washing dishes and was hoping that Evan would say he would come back to continue his search when it would be light out again. Mykal walked back into the house and said to me, “It’s too dark now and Evan is going home.” At this point he waves his hand and shows off the ring and the biggest smile. I nearly fainted and started jumping up and down in excitement. I could not believe my eyes! I was so happy for Mykal and for Evan and for all of us! I went outside to thank Evan. No words can express the kind deed that Evan did for us; the time he took out of his day to search so diligently for something that meant so much to us. The next weekend, we went to Mykal’s parents home for a Barbq and Mykal proudly wore his ring. His dad put his arms around him and said, “The ring looks great on you. I almost started to think that you lost it.” Mykal just smiled and gave him a big hug.
These are such special moments in life. We shared this story with many neighbors, family and friends. We hope to share this story with Mykals parents…sometime next year.
Thank you again Evan for all of your help and for helping other people. You are an angel and we will always pray for you that God will guide you to lost items if it is His will that they ought to be reunited with the owners.
Thank you.
Mary sent me a message about a lost wedding band. She explained that her husband Kyle was washing the cars and his wedding ring had disappeared. He searched the cars, flower beds by the hose, and all around in the grass. They even tried with a metal detector and had no luck. I arranged to meet at the house after work the next day. After talking with Kyle about where the ring could possibly be, he went inside and told me to just ring the bell. He barley had closed the door when my machine gave a tone that was without a doubt his ring. I rang the bell and the look on his face was priceless. Later on after the recovery I found out Kyle and I share the same birthday, Happy Birthday Kyle, this was a great day for sure.

I got a phone call from a young man who lost a special pendant with his name on it, he lost it at a picture and put golf course at Central Park in Burnaby. His gold chain got caught on his golf bag and broke the clasp and he lost a gold cross and his gold pendant. He remembered this happen at the 14th hole but didn’t realize it had broken until he got to the 16th hole when he felt his chain fall off his neck, he looked around and went back to the 15th hole where he teed off and found his gold cross by a bench but he couldn’t find the pendant with the name ”Marshall” on it.
He search for a while but it was getting too dark so he packed it up went home, he remembered seeing a story about John Cryer who lost his ring here in Vancouver and that’s how he found TheRingFinders. We talked about the chances of finding this pendent but he couldn’t meet me there in the morning to show me his movements because he had to work. I knew it was three holes 14,15 and 16 so I got out there first thing in the morning and walked around to see if I could eyeball the gold pendent, I felt it should’ve just set up somewhere and easily been spotted. However two hours grid searching and I could not find his pendant.
I packed it up reached out to Marshall and asked if we can meet the next day, he arranged to meet me after his work this way I was able to see exactly what he could remember and where he may have been off the course. That being said I was very curious to search the area with my Metal Detector where he found the gold cross, as it made sense to me if one fell the other one should be close bye. After a few minutes at the 15th hole I got a 4-5 in a bit of loose dirt and grass I moved it with my foot inside a beautiful colour of gold and his name. I was able to surprise marsha and so happy to get back that pendant that was a gift from his late grandmother. These are such sentimental items that can never be replaced and it was an honour to be able to help continue that story for the showman.

Jack sent me a text message early Saturday morning asking if I could help find his lost ring. Jack explained to me he was body surfing Wednesday afternoon when the ring slid off of his finger. He felt the tide was High during that time and the ring would be found in the wet sand. Upon arrival, Jack led me to the beach and pointed out the boundaries he believed the ring was within and the search began parallel to the water from high to low. After a few passes, only 1 dime was found. I eventually made it to where the surf was rolling in over the beach. This isn’t much of a problem, it just slows the search process. Finally, I received a strong signal on my metal detector and my deep & wide scoop went to work and pulled out a large amount of sand containing Jack’s ring. Jack was working on the other side of the home and didn’t understand why I returned so soon. He and his family couldn’t believe his ring was found so quickly.
Venturing out to Marina Beach Park in Ventura post-Hurricane Kay, I embarked on a mission to recover a lost ring for a client. Amidst the shifting sands left in the storm’s wake, optimism coursed through me, hopeful for a successful retrieval. Yet, fate had a different plan in store.
As my metal detector signaled amidst the wash at the tide line, anticipation peaked, only to unveil not a ring, but a Medic Alert bracelet bearing the name “Kellen,” a beacon of hope for those facing medical emergencies, particularly for individuals like Kellen living with Diabetes. With a determination to reunite the bracelet with its rightful owner, I embarked on a quest to trace Kellen’s identity.
Utilizing social media platforms, I tracked down both Twitter and Instagram accounts associated with the name inscribed on the bracelet. Armed with newfound leads, I reached out via direct message, hopeful for a response.
In a stroke of serendipity, my efforts bore fruit within 24 hours as Kellen himself acknowledged the discovery of his lost lifeline. Plans were swiftly made to reunite Kellen with his Medic Alert bracelet, a moment of profound gratitude and relief for its lifesaving potential.
Jewelry often serves as a symbol of beauty, but in this instance, it held far greater significance as a vital tool for preserving life. I was humbled to play a part in restoring hope and security to Kellen.

I was on my computer early this morning when I got a text message from a young lady at approximately 7:20 AM asking if I could help find her ring. I called her right away and we set up a time to meet in 45 minutes at Kits Beach, where she lost the ring. When I arrived at the beach I met the young lady and she showed me the approximate area where she believed she lost her ring’s. That’s right rings, she had lost two rings not just one but there was one ring with a Pearl that meant the world to her. I asked her if she could tell me the story about the ring but I could tell she was a little uncomfortable and I didn’t want to force it.
I set up my grid search and had no luck for the first hour and a half but I kept on expanding my search area and close to two hours mark I found both of her rings! I was able to surprise her with the rings and see how it made her feel to have them back on her finger. I got to hear the story about why the pearl ring meant to her, she told me a few years back she had a tough battle with depression and she bought that ring to celebrate hanging on and she did. You can only imagine with that ring meant to her to get it back, I was so honoured to be able to find it and hand it back to her and see how it made her feel.
I know I said this before and I’ll say it again, I am so proud of ”TheRingFinders” and all the members who have joined to help people in their towns & city’s. This is a very needed service and we have reached 10,000 recorded recoveries this month.
