I received a phone call from Shayna on Wednesday evening (August 18, 2021) stating that she had lost her engagement ring on Monday while walking in her yard in Ashville, Alabama. Shayna and her fiancé tried looking for it with a metal detector, but were unable to find it. I was off on Friday, so we arranged for a search that morning.
I arrived at their home in Ashville, AL on Friday, August 20, 2021. Shayna showed me the area in her yard where she thought the ring had slid off her finger. She told me that the ring was 10k rose gold with diamonds. It was her fiancé’s grandmother’s ring. I began a grid search with my Minelab Equinox 800. After clearing the general area Shayna told me that the ring should be in, I expanded my grid search. Soon after, Shayna told me that she had to be honest and that it was actually a ring toss. She said that she had immediately regretted throwing the ring. This happens a lot; people have disagreements and sometimes rings go flying. We’re all human.
With this new information, I had Shayna show me exactly where she was walking and how she tossed the ring. It was a sideways toss. I also had her fiancé show me where he remembered her standing when it happened. Her fiancé said that she was about 5-10 feet further than Shayna remembered, which was in an area I hadn’t searched yet. I expanded my grid search in that direction and soon after I found Shayna’s ring! The grass was on the taller side, so it easily hid that beautiful 10 karat rose gold engagement ring. Both Shayna and her fiancé were relieved and glad to have it back!

I got a call about a lost platinum ring with a large diamond. It was lost at night close to high tide in the water. I knew low tide was coming up and it would probably be dry in that area when I arrived. My friend Gene was already down there and he helped me search for the ring. After 2 hours I got a hit in the range I thought it would be. BAM! The video will be on Gigmaster on youtube!

My day job consists of mostly 13 hour days and it’s rare to get time off but luckily this week, I had two days off where I was able to recover two items for two very happy customers. The universe works in wonderful ways for this story because this couple were ending a beautiful 10 day vacation in the Sunshine Coast, unfortunately they lost a very special ring.
They went online and found TheRingFinders directory and gave me a call that evening, they told me they were returning back to Toronto the next day and luckily I was off work that day so we arranged to meet in at 12 noon at Davis Bay.
After a 3 hour wait at the ferry terminal, 40 minute ferry ride and a 40 minute drive, I arrived at Davis Bay, I heard the story about how the ring was lost and the couple showed me where they lost the ring on the beach, remember it’s a big beach and what seems to be a small area could always turn out to be an extremely large area and as you know it’s a game of inches and you have to go over the ring to find it. The difficulties of this search was that it wasn’t lost in the sand it was lost in fist size rocks, making it slippery and difficult to search the area properly.
After listening to their story and where they believe the ring came off I started my search, I knew I was under a bit of pressure because the sooner I could find this ring the sooner they can start getting ready to make their way back to Vancouver to fly out to Toronto that evening.
After approximately 40 minutes of searching I found his beautiful ring! I was so relieved and happy to find it so quickly knowing that they could comfortably take a ferry back over to Vancouver and drive to the airport and catch their connecting flight to Toronto. Success!

I have the best job in the world, I love helping people more than anything I’ve ever done in my lifetime. I get to make people smile, I get to hear their stories of what their ring means to them, and how happy they are when I find it.
Rob was sitting near the ocean and lost his wedding ring. The couple searched frantically trying to find it. They even went to Walmart and Best Buy trying to find a metal detector. They ended up ordering one through Amazon. His wife Lauren started searching the internet for help and came across Theringfinders.com! I got a text and I immediately called them and got more info on where the ring was lost and headed down. After 2 grid searches I found it and asked them to come down and surprised them with the return. Check out Gigmaster on Youtube!

I received a phone call from a very distraught Lynn on Wednesday afternoon (August 4, 2021). Lynn told me that she had lost all 3 of her very special rings (2 white gold and 1 platinum) she received from her husband of 40 years, Peter, for their engagement and anniversaries. I could hear how much these rings meant to her as she explained the details of the loss. The day prior, Lynn was about to go to the store, so she went through her normal routine of putting on lotion and 3 rings on her left pinky. Before Lynn left, she decided to water the plants and refill the olla’s outside of her home in Nashville, TN. She noticed a few weeds and did a few other minor chores outside. By the time she was done, an hour and a half had passed. Finishing up the yard work, Lynn was reaching for a tomato she had picked and noticed that all 3 rings were gone! She told me that she knew she had the rings on when she started and could show me exactly what she did and retrace every spot she was at. Lynn and Peter had spent numerous hours looking and even tried searching with a metal detector. I reassured Lynn and told her that if the rings were there, I would find them.
We arranged for a search on Friday morning (August 6, 2021). After I arrived, Lynn re-enacted everything she had done on Tuesday in great detail. I started a very thorough search, checking every square inch of the plants and yard where she was pulling out weeds. I cleared the side of the house and front yard. I began searching the front shrubs and planter on the front walkway. I pulled out my Garrett “Carrot” pinpointer to search the plant. When I parted the plant on the left side I couldn’t believe my eyes with what was staring back at me! Wow…3 beautiful rings just lying there in the planter!!!
I was able to snap a few pictures. Peter then stepped out to see how the search was going. I told him that I had just found Lynn’s rings. He could hardly believe it. I quickly showed him the rings sitting in the planter. I told him that we should surprise Lynn. Peter went in the house and told her that I needed to ask her a question. Lynn stepped outside and I asked her to re-confirm what she was doing in the front and if she watered that plant. She showed me that she had filled up a wine bottle with water and flipped it down into a terracotta spike on the right side. I asked if she worked on the left side where the rings were. She caught that first glimpse and just lost it! I’m not the best at surprise reveals, but this was one of the best reactions I’ve ever seen. Tears of joy, happiness, and relief! This is why we do what we do! We determined that Lynn’s rings came off when she was reaching in to feel for the spike to replace the bottle. They must’ve snagged on the vegetation, but she never felt them slip off.
This search only took about 20 minutes, but I stayed afterwards and chatted with Lynn for about 2 hours. I really enjoyed this adventure, and it was an absolute pleasure meeting Lynn, Peter, and their dog, Jim! I give all glory to God. I have to say that it’s truly a blessing being a member of The Ring Finders.

I received a text message on Tuesday afternoon (August 3, 2021) from a younger gentleman stating that his father, Michael, lost his ring while laying mulch near his house in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I was able to take off from work early and was on my way. My nephew, Sean, came along for this adventure. He graduated from High School in June and had recently moved down to Alabama about a week prior. Sean was excited to come along as he’d been looking forward to helping me with my next ring search.
After we arrived at Michael’s home in Murfreesboro, we were shown the area where the mulch was freshly placed earlier in the day. I noticed a large trash bag and trashcan full of clippings. I was told that the landscaper had done all that work. Michael only laid the mulch, and he knew for sure that he had the platinum Tiffany & Co. ring on his finger before he started. The ring was given to him by his grandmother many years ago and had a special Steam America ship design that is no longer made.
I turned on my Minelab Equinox 800 and got to work. The area where the mulch was placed wasn’t very large. I carefully searched all spots around the trees and shrubs. About 15 minutes into the search and ¾ of the way through, I received a shallow and very promising 7-8 on the Nox. Using my Garrett “Carrot” pinpointer, I searched through the mulch and located Michael’s missing platinum Tiffany & Co. ring!
Michael wasn’t home at the time we found his ring. He arrived a few minutes later and was told the great news! Michael was overcome with joy and relief as he was handed back his very special ring! I’m always happy to help and blessed to be a member of The Ring Finders!

I received a call from Bailey about her lost her Apple watch in Avalon NJ yesterday evening. Bailey said that she had been sitting in the sand when the magnetic wristband unknowingly came apart.
She was unable to find it after searching the next morning, so she contacted me after seeing a friend’s Facebook post. Shortly after my arrival to the beach she used her iPhone GPS to find the approximate location.
I then started a grid search of the area, and within a few minutes the Apple watch was found!
