Washed Away the Soap and the Sparkle

  • from Kilgore (Texas, United States)
Contact:

On Saturday Tori decided her German Shepherd needed a bath. As she finished she noticed her wedding rings were gone. She immediately started backtracking. Did it come off while using the hose or the blower drying her dog? With no luck finding her rings her husband bought a metal detector on his way home from work. He read the instructions and watched a few YouTube videos. They both search until midnight with no luck. Tori decided to try a search online and came across The Ring Finders website and texted me. Just so happens I was off and with in one hour of receiving her text I was headed to try and find her rings. After arriving we spent a few minutes going over where the washing took place. To our surprise I found her rings in less then fifteen minutes. A day with so much anxiety ended on a high note.

Lost Ring South Surry, BC…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)

24/7 Metal Detecting Service/ If you have lost something don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP- Chris 778-838-3463

I got a text message in regards to a lost gold wedding band in South Surrey at a rugby field. After talking to the young man on the phone it turned out I wasn’t going to have to search a whole rugby field because he handed the ring to his coach to hold and unfortunately during the first half the ring is no longer in his coaches pocket…

His coach did not tell his player he had lost the ring until after the game. The coach spent the whole second half looking all over the sidelines for the ring, but unfortunately could not find it. He had to break the news to the player after the game. The whole team got together, joined arms and grid searched the area where his coach had spent most of this time during the first half.

Unfortunately, no luck, someone had mentioned to call TheRingFinders and he did.  After talking to the player and asking all my questions and setting up a time to meet the coach the next morning so he could show me all the areas to search. This became a huge challenge, unfortunately, he spent some time on half of one field warming up the team, then the other half of on the game field, along the sidelines behind the uprights and on the other side.

He did not know where the ring came out or when it came out of his pocket, but we did know it would’ve been when he pulled out his phone because it was in the same pocket. He told me he had pulled his phone out many times checking how much time was left in the game so this made the search area huge.

I spent 8 1/2 hours the first day grid searching areas he had showed me, but no luck, fortunately the caretakers for the rugby house came out and asked what I was doing, I told him I was looking for a lost ring for a rugby player. He asked what time his game was and I said I believe it was the last game of the day,  he told me that they have recorded footage of all the game and said maybe I should ask the coach or player to check the game footage and see where the coach was during the first half, and when he pulled his phone out.

This was a tremendous help as it put me in an area the coach forgot he was in, the next day after one and a half hours of searching bingo! I found his beautiful ring and helped continue this beautiful story of what it meant to him to get it back. I contacted his coach and I could tell he was so relieved and happy. I can only imagine how gutted he must’ve felt even though technically it wasn’t his fault. Things happens!

I love my job!

Lost diamond ring while hand feeding tarpons

  • from Miami (Florida, United States)
Contact:

This was one of my most interesting recoveries to date.  I received a call from a woman who was down on vacation and went to Robbie’s in the Florida Keys.  It’s a tourist destination and marina.  They have a section where you can feed the tarpon.  You can actually see them in some of the photos circling around me.  She had lost her ring while feeding the fish. They jump out of the water and take the fish right out of your had.  The ring was there for a couple days. I knew it was gonna be a hard recovery because that marina has been there forever and I’m sure there was 50 years worth of garbage there. But after about two hours, I was able to find it.  It made for some great pictures.

So if you’ve lost any type of jewelry anywhere, give me a call and I’ll help you find it. Call/text louis at (305) 608-1870

Lost Diamond Earring, North Vancouver…Found

Lost your Ring/Jewellery/Cell Phone/Keys… A Trusted Service Since 1987- Call ASAP Chris 778-838-3463   24/7 Service

I received a call in regards to a lost diamond earring in a park, after asking a few questions it sounded like we’d have success finding this as long as someone else didn’t beat us to it.

I blasted off to the location and met the ladies husband who showed me the precise area where she believed the earring had come off  due to her granddaughter accidentally pulling it off while she was holding her.

I did my first passover of the area with no success. I cross grid and still no success. The young man called his wife, I could hear him disappointed thinking it wasn’t there, but this is a very small item and you have to be patient. It took about 10 minutes and I found her beautiful diamond earring.

I understand Metal Detecting because I’ve been doing it for over 50 years. Miss it by an inch miss it by a mile, you gotta go low and slow, and you have to exhaust the area. It was so nice to see his smile and hear the story of what that earring meant to his wife. I love my job.

Lost, Tiffany and Company, Silver Bracelet Lacorno Beach Vancouver

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Lost your engagement ring/ wedding band/cell phone/keys- Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP Chris 778-838-3463

I was enjoying a bit of a break up in the Okanogan when I got a call about a Lost silver Tiffany and Company bracelet in a volleyball court in Vancouver. Listening to the story I told the young lady I wouldn’t be back for at least a week but told her she could rent a Metal Detector and take a look for it and she did but unfortunately, she did not find it.

When I arrived back in Vancouver I reached out to see if she had any luck, she sadly said no… I went to the location and within five minutes, I found her beautiful Tiffany and Company silver bracelet, in memory of her grandfather..

This was surprising even to me, knowing it had been there for almost a week on a popular beach that could’ve easily been found by someone else.

The gods were with us! I love my job!!

Lost Drum Key in Skaha Lake…Found

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

If you’ve lost your ring or any jewelry, car keys, cell phones, Call ASAP 24/7  Service- Chris 778-838-3463

Taking a break up in the Okanogan and Detecting some beautiful lakes, I happen to be at Skaha Lake when a young man came up to me and asked me if my metal detector could find a stainless steel key. I replied yes and got him to tell me the story about this particular key that was lost in waste deep water two weeks ago.

He told me it was a drum key and that he owned it for 40 years and used it to tune up his drums at his events/gigs.

I thought maybe somebody had already found it because these beaches get detected a lot, I told him to show me the exact area where he believed it was lost and I’d take a look…within five minutes he had his drum key back. Not your typical diamond engagement ring or wedding band, but for him this was very sentimental. He was a professional drummer, and this was like losing a ring for him.

I could tell how happy he was to get it back. I love my job. Sometimes it’s just serendipity how we come in contact with people, he lived across the street and he’d been looking for the last couple weeks every day in hope that he might find it. I happened to be at that beach at the same he was there… Timing is everything!

 

I love my Job!

Lost Rolex Watch in Whistler BC…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Lost your Rolex Watch or any Jewelry/Cell Phone/Car Keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7  Chris-778-838-3463

I get a call from a young man who told me he lost a very important watch, right away my thought was Rolex.  I was only partially right it was a Rolex but what made it so important was it was a gift from his late grandfather. He told me it was lost in the lake up to his chin in water. He said he knew exactly where it fell in so I felt I was in good shape to go out and hopefully find this but one doesn’t know until they get there and see the conditions.

When I arrive to the lake in Whistler, William showed me where the watch fell into the water. One thing for sure the water was very cold as this was a glacier fed lake and it was cold, but it was a nice day and I was up for the challenge. When I got into the water, the rocks were big and awkward making this a very difficult search because I wouldn’t be able to scoop up the watch, also the water had zero visibility so it would make it very difficult to dive down and find it.

I began my search, got up to my chin in water hanging onto the dock. I was able to stretch my detector out to deeper water and get a signal. Fortunately, there wasn’t many signals in this area so I was confident this was his Rolex watch. I spent four hours in that water, I also found a leech on my arm not to say it was very cold. I started cramping up near the end, but I wasn’t gonna give up easy.

We built a bit of a ramp for me with some bigger rocks, so I could stand there and get leverage to try to scoop the watch out of the area, but it was too difficult with the rocks. I then thought of getting a big stump sticking it in the water very close to where I was getting the signal and have William dive down with my Metal Detector pin pointer as I thought this would be the only chance he’d  have in retrieving his watch. He was all for it because earlier that day somebody came up and asked if you were looking for a Rolex… the word had gotten out and more people knew about his watch and that was frightening for him, as you could imagine.

William brave the water and within 15 minutes came up with the watch in his hand. He didn’t even know until I let out a scream!  I was so excited for him to get that beautiful watch back where it belonged. I love my job!

Lost Ring in Pitt Lake…Found!

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Lost your wedding ring or any jewelry/cell phone/car keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7  Chris-778-838-3463

I got a call from a young man who told me that his wife had lost her diamond engagement ring in Pitt Lake. He went on to tell me that we would have to kayak to the location, this would be a first for me as I’ve never been in a kayak before, but I’m always up for an adventure. I met Rob he showed me how to use the kayak and he told me he could get me to the location where the ring was lost. We kayak for about 25 minutes across the lake to the spot and when I saw the spot I was in shock. How in the world would be able to get me even close to where the Ring was lost because it was over 200 yards from shore.

Robert assured me he could get me close because he had marked two locations, a side location where there was a stump and a tree growing out of it about 200 yards offshore and 100 yards away from where he believed the ring was, he use that as a side marker and he focussed on a front marker close to shore, which was a log sticking out of the mud.

Talk about a needle in a haystack, we marched out at low tide at this lake and close to 200 yards out we were only waste deep in water, he told me where to look and put two markers down for me, within 30 minutes if you can believe it, I found his wife’s beautiful diamond engagement ring.

This will always remain a shocker to me. I have done so many different types of searches over the years and this one should’ve been impossible. The fact that Rob was so good at marking the location it saved his wife’s ring from forever being lost in this lake. I enjoyed the kayak ride! Who knows what I’ll do next maybe a hot air balloon to the next location lol

I love my job!

Found Ring in Richmond, BC

  • from Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada)
Contact:

Lost your wedding ring or any jewelry/cell phone/car keys… Don’t wait until it’s too late. Call ASAP 24/7  Chris-778-838-3463

I received a text message in regards to a Lost Ring at a beach in Richmond and if I would be able to help. Of course I called right away and discussed the search to get more details. I was informed the ring was lost three days before and that she actually lost two rings and came back the next day and with her nephew and his Metal Detector they were able to locate the wedding band. I think that’s absolutely incredible the young man found the wedding band, I’ve known quite a few clients that had bought or rented metal detectors and spent day searching with no luck and I come in and find it in minutes. A big shout out to the young ladies nephew who came in and found one of the two rings… Well done young man.!!!

I was also informed that the Park Ranger had a Metal Detector and tried finding it for her, but could not locate the engagement ring. Is a matter of fact he sent over a link to my website and said you might wanna call this man shout out to the park Ranger thank you for the plug, much appreciated.

I showed up the young lady showed me the area where her nephew found the wedding band. It took me five minutes to find her beautiful diamond engagement ring. She was very happy to say the least as was I that nobody else had found it before me. I love my job.!!
