Heirloom Confirmation Ring Lost in Pittsburg, CA…Found!!!
It was a routine day at my office where I’m a Project Manager for a steel erection company. In between writing up change order requests and preparing for an annual Quality and Safety Management Systems Audit I received a text message from the Dunmore Family in Pittsburg, CA. The text was requesting someone to locate a children’s ring lost in the backyard.
I promptly contacted the family on the phone for more details and to schedule a time for the search. I explained the service I could provide and the contract that would be required once I arrived to the site. Once a time was decided upon, I requested the family to confirm the appointment and their address via text message.
Arriving at the location, I was greeted by the family and we discussed more details about the missing ring and how it was lost. It was revealed that the ring was a gold heirloom “Confirmation” ring that was once a gift to the son who was preparing to pass it down to his son at an impending Confirmation Ceremony. The child was wearing the ring while playing with a soccer ball in the backyard when it flung from the youngsters hand. The family searched and the ring was not recovered.
Before I searched, I explained my process to the family and we had the child duplicate his actions and the location to the best of his ability. After approximately 15 minutes of being on site and maybe 6 minutes into the search…we made the recovery!!!
Dunmore Family Testimonial:
Thank you Brendon! Thirty years ago our son received a gold ring from his Godmother and was passing it down to his Son. We were all heartbroken when informed it had flown off his finger in the backyard. We searched without success when I googled how to find lost rings and came across “theringfinders.” Brendon responded promptly and showed up the next day and found the ring in minutes. He was timely and courteous and we appreciated the explanation of how he would search the yard and what the different metal detector sounds would mean. Thank you Brendon for finding the ring which will allow it to continue being passed down for generations.
