Received a text message from a young lady that was joining her Family to go trick-or-treating in Brampton, Ontario.
When she arrived back home, she froze as she noticed her diamond setting was missing off her engagement ring.
Met with her and her Husband and Family, asked a ton of questions and decided to start from the inside of the house and work outward to the path taken trick-or-treating on Halloween night.
We pulled apart the couch and incredibly there was her diamond setting in between the two sections of couch to everyone’s surprise and relief!

Joe, his Wife and Mother decided to go for a late afternoon Jetski ride in Georgian Bay, Ontario.
Joe has not locked the dash compartment fully where he stored his wallet and cell phone.
Once the third person mounted the Jetski, the vessel tipped over sending everyone overboard along with the wallet and cell phone!
Shaun, the Jetski rental owner called me immediately and I made arrangements to head up to help Joe out!
After gearing up with my Dive BLU3 “Nomad” 30’ hosed floating battery operated air supply system and a dive light it made quick work finding Joe’s wallet and cell phone!
Thank you Joe for your donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation!
Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation ‘Pink Sista’ Beth had contacted me because her husband lost his wedding band in the waters or around their cottage on Lake Baptiste in Bancroft, Hastings Highlands, Haliburton, Ontario.
I thought it would be a good idea to put a flyer out on the lake as it was almost 4 hour drive up from my home and maybe others had last something!
I had a few people reach out about their lost items and one was from Carol Anne & Larry.
Their Son-in-law Jeff has been visiting the cottage with the kids.Jeff was playing in the water with his kids and lost his wedding band! The area was extremely silty with very poor visibility.
I proceeded into the general area and with the help of my Minelab Manticore underwater detector and a pin pointer, I recovered Jeff’s precious wedding band in roughly 5 minutes.
I headed back to the dock and handed the wedding band to Larry with tears in my eyes. Carol Anne & Larry’s Daughter Terry Anne had passed away in 2020 after a very short illness with cancer.
Jeff was extremely grateful to receive his wedding ring back as he stated ‘how a chunk of shiny metal held so many memories and a replacement band just wasn’t the same’!
I am truly honoured to meet and help Carol Anne & Larry find their Son-in-Law Jeff’s precious and cherished wedding band! I look forward to visiting them when I return to Lake Baptiste this summer 2024!
Davide and Maria were up at the cottage in the beautiful Tiny Township area on the shores of Georgian Bay, Simcoe County, Ontario.
Davide was in the water with his sons, throwing around frisbees and having a great time! He noticed that his wedding band was missing and called me for help!
I arrived that day with beautiful weather and a little bit of wave action.David did not know where his wedding band came off! It was quite a large area, so I proceeded to start a grid search pattern from the shoreline out. The area was approximately 80 feet wide by 80 feet from shore.
Within an hour or so, I finally had a solid target closer to shore and managed to recovery his beautiful 18k gold ring!
I knew they were gonna hurry to get back to the city, so it was a quick surprise! Davide & Maria were extremely happy, especially because it was their 15th wedding anniversary!!
It was a pleasure helping Davide and Maria! I am thankful and grateful for their generous donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation on behalf of my work!

Eric headed north from Hamilton to see his Family in North Bay, Ontario.
He decided to go for a canoe paddle but unfortunately the canoe capsized and Eric’s ring slipped off his finger into 5′ of water near the Sunset Beach boat launch.
Eric contacted me and I went up on a beautiful sunny day as I was off on holidays. I managed to ask two complete strangers Don & Barb local North Bay residents to be my safety spotters while I search for the lost ring.
A few items were found such as a fishing lure, a Medic Alert bracelet (which I tried to return) a number of trash items and after an hour and a half I finally had a beautiful solid tone on my underwater metal detector!
Thankfully, this was Eric’s 14k gold wedding band with the identifying marks of a MAPLE LEAF.
Don, Barb and I then proceeded to FaceTime Eric to surprise him with the good news!
Thank you to the completed wonderful strangers North Bay residents Don & Barb for agreeing to be my safety spotters. Also, thank you to the ring owner Eric and his Wife Megan for your generous donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation! My reward goes to this amazing charity which I have been involved in for 15 years.

Laura had received a beautiful 18th Birthday gift of her Great Grandmother’s ring which dated back to the 1940’s ear a couple of years ago.
Laura and her dog was visited the dog beach portion at Wasaga Beach Provincial Park the day prior. Her dog was running off into the water with leash attached and she felt that the ring must have slipped off as her finger as it was catching the leash.
After starting the search, our first find was a small ring. Unfortunately, this was not Lauren’s ring. Hopefully we can get that ring back to the owner through social media posts.
The next target was a pull tab and finally the next target was the beautiful 1940’s amethyst gold heirloom ring!
Lauren and her Mother both saw the glimpse of gold and we all shouted with excitement and relief.
The key to this successful ring recovery was getting the the location as soon as possible after it was lost and the strict tight grid search!
Thank you so very much Lee & Lauren for your generous donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation.

A call out came in from Lisa for an extremely sentimental 18k Mother Mary medallion which was lost in a Brampton, Ontario backyard over a year ago.
Lisa’s Nephew Matthew had searched googled and came across the global directory for TheRingFinders!
I met up with Lisa after work. Lisa explained she was picking pears in her backyard when the wasps came out of the hive. She ran away and somehow broke her gold chain with two medallions on it. Matthew was able to find one of her medallions but not the other.
I started my grid search in her backyard with my new Minelab Manticore metal detector. It took a while digging out every signal as I was not use to my new machine.
I managed to locate the medallion 4” down approximately 7’ over from where her Nephew found the first medallion.
Here is the video of the recovery. Please like & subscribe 💞
Lisa was very happy to receive the gifted Mother Mary medallion back as it was a treasured gift that belonged to her late Cousin.
Amanda and her Husband Andrew were gardening in their front yard. Amanda had to remove her wedding rings because they were digging into her skin inside her gloves.
At one point Amanda and Andrew had company stop by and Amanda was playing with their dog. She soon realized she lost her rings and they purchased a metal detector with no luck!
I ended down to London after work. Did my introduction video interview.
I then started in the front yard where they were cleaning weeds out of a rock garden area. Shortly after starting the grid search with my Minelab Manticore machine, I stopped and decided to go back to my car for my Minelab Equinox 800 as it had the small sniper coil on it.
As I headed back to my car I spotted with my eagle eyes both her rings sitting in the grass!
I was about to re-start the grid search and proceeded to show them how the hand held pin pointer works and SURPRISE… I pulled the rings from the grass!!
The surprise was absolutely priceless from her shock, to feeling I’ll, to extreme happiness!!
I love ‘quickies’ but I absolutely love the ‘shock and awwww’ moments!!
HAPPY ENDINGS!

Emily was visiting The waters of Georgian Bay at Wasaga Beach 1 for the day with Friends.
She was way out by the buoy’s about 500’ from shore in floaty rafts! A wave came from behind and toppled her over and unfortunately her purple iPhone 12 was dropped.
She contacted me and we met up at beach 1. The depth was 7’ to 9’ but due to rough conditions and a bit of an undertow the DIVE BLU3 Nemo couldn’t be used. I then decided to grid search best I could for 5-6 hours but had no luck!
Seven, YES SEVEN weeks later I was searching for a young man’s 22k gold ring and came across a strong wonky signal with the new Nokia Legend metal detector!
*B*A*M* second scoop and one foot down and there’s Emily’s purple iPhone 12!!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes but also the location was 400’ east and only 150’ of the shore line!!!!
When I finished detecting for the day I had a bag of rice in my car and immediately put her iPhone in and hoping for the best!
Two days later, I FaceTimed Emily to surprise her! She was shocked to say the least! I proceeded with her permission to plug it in and it worked!! Best part… it was confirmed her iPhone!!
Check out the video;
Not only did Emily back up her iPhone on a weekly basis but she had AppleCare for a full free replacement!!
Thank you Emily for your kind donation to the Kelly Shires breast Cancer Foundation and it was a please to help you!!!
