testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2024)

“I lost my wedding ring while I was doing yard work and could not find it after searching for hours.

Luckily, I was able to do some research and find Jonathan who responded extremely quickly. He even texted me the next morning and offered to move up his appointment even sooner which I happily accepted.

He was able to find my wedding ring extremely fast and could not have been a bigger help. I will be recommending his services to anyone I know in a similar situation and cannot thank him enough for helping me out.”

Seriously thank you again, I’m very grateful for your help.

testimonial for Simon Cox (2024)

YOU’RE THE MAN, WARREN!!!

testimonial for Warren Cook (2024)

I was referred to Warren Cook by another Ring Finder that was having some health issues. After calling Warren, who lives about 70 miles away, and giving him the details on where I lost my wedding band, he did not hesitate to help me. You really don’t know how much this mean to me, it feels like a part of me has been lost and now reconnected. YOU’RE THE MAN, WARREN!!!

Once you started the search it was obvious that you were destine to find it, you showed just as much excitement as I did when you plucked my ring from the dirt. Thanks again Warren, and I believe you will make so many more people as happy as I am.

With gratitude, Athen.

Thank you again and would highly recommend Steve to find anything lost!

testimonial for Steve LaForce (2024)

Thank you Steve for finding my ring so quickly! If it wasnt for you, I’d still be searching for it in that field! After roughly 7 hours of searching, I got ahold of Steve and after 2 tries and only a few hours, he found it nowhere near where i was searching! Thank you again and would highly recommend Steve to find anything lost!

testimonial for Christina McCree (2024)

A needle in a haystack! I lost my wedding ring while canoeing on the Buffalo River. This ring wasn't just any ring; it was my grandmother's engagement ring and my husband's grandmother's wedding band soldered together. I was devastated when I lost it. By the grace of God, I stumbled upon Ringfinders and found Christina McCree. She responded immediately and was ready to help me find it! She traveled and went on an 8-mile kayak trip to help me find it in freezing cold water. She was patient and kind, and like a superhero, she found my ring!!! It was truly an answered prayer. I highly recommend reaching out to her if you're a fool like me and accidentally lose your wedding ring!

Bill, you are so professional, incredibly kind...

testimonial for Bill Leasure (2024)

Absolutely true story!!

Bill, you are so professional, incredibly kind~ i am truly so appreciative!

I pray I don’t lose anything ever again, but i can guarantee that if i do, Bill will be my first call!

We are truly indebted to Dave and would highly recommend you call The Ring Finders. They are like magic!

testimonial for David Mac Donald (2024)

My husband recently lost weight and had been noticing his rings were fitting less tightly than before but didn’t think they were in danger of falling off. After a date in Ventura, we stopped at Solimar beach and played fetch with our dog,

Poppy, enjoying the beautiful day by the water. When we returned home, Bryn was dismayed to discover his wedding ring was gone. We searched everywhere, digging through piles of dirty clothes and under car seats, but to no avail.

We were sure we’d lost it forever and were truly heartbroken as this was a custom ring that was filled with sentimental value. Crestfallen, I tossed and turned one night until 2 am, frantically googling “lost rings in Ventura” praying that someone had located it and turned it in. Suddenly, an advertisement for the ring finders in Ventura popped up and I clicked on it.

Completely sure that the ring could not be recovered but still hopeful, we reached out the following morning. Dave answered our call and found our ring in about an hour, despite the ring being lost for several days at this point. Dave was caring, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to bring this priceless ring home to us. When my husband picked up the ring, Dave went a step further, praying over my husband and blessing him with his spiritual counsel.

We are truly indebted to Dave and would highly recommend you call The Ring Finders. They are like magic!

My wife and I are so thankful to Sean Kelly for recovering my wedding ring...

testimonial for Sean Kelly (2024)

Hi Sean,

I wanted to thank you again for locating and recovering my lost wedding ring. I would like to offer a small gesture of my appreciation by leaving a review testimonial for other future unfortunate people that lose something special, that are fortunate to come across your information on Ring Finders.

A annual summer 4th of July party at my wife's best friend's parent's lake house on Bunganut Lake in Lyman ME went from an awesome celebration, to a nightmare. After applying sunblock on my kids and swimming for a couple hours, I was sitting on the dock and realized my wedding ring was gone. I never felt it come off so it could be anywhere in the area surrounding the dock that I had been swimming in. With no goggles, the search was a bust.

After a sleepless night running the entire afternoon through my head tracing every spot I swam and rock I sat on, I knew I had to go back and search again. So I gathered goggles, snorkel, fins, and purchased underwater flashlights. Being over 2.5 hours away the next opportunity to return was a month later. I free dived down and searched around until I was blue in the face, with no luck.

Our friend's father informed me that the lake dam is opened the end of the Fall and the water level drops a couple of feet so I had hope to return once more and give it a final go. In preparing for it I realized the water temp would be very cold and be an issue. I realized I needed a better plan if there was a chance of getting my wedding ring back. I searched for metal detecting and scuba diving and found the Ring Finders website. This was the turning point of my luck!

I reached out to Sean Kelly and he called me right back. We realized he was 115 miles away, but he said it didn't matter and would come out anyway and even offered to go out right away. I mentioned we were planning to go up there the following Sunday and that I could better explain the area I swam and the higher probability areas. Sean was able to come and meet us there that Sunday to search. I could tell Sean was a nice guy that was passionate about searching for treasure and the joy of reuniting people with their lost, cherished items.

Sean pulled up two minutes after we arrived with all of his scuba gear and top of the line metal detecting equipment. I was very optimistic of the search and showed Sean the dock and whereabouts of my swimming area. We soon realized one difficulty in this search was the lower section of the floating dock had already been taken in for the season, so gauging the locations was now compromised in addition to now murkier water. Sean pointed out another complication which was the very large boulders and rocks that could allow the ring to slide into a crevice at the bottom and be difficult to not only get a reading with the detector, but also having to potentially move the big boulders. Sean ensured me that we would move these boulders one way or another if we had to, and I could tell he was serious.

Sean got geared up and jumped right in. After over an hour of canvasing a grid pattern of the areas I was pointing out and giving reference to, Sean came to the dock needing to replace his air tank. He maintained hope and perseverance. As we approached the second hour Sean was going back over the areas a 2nd and 3rd time and was probing around all of the boulders with his smaller handheld detector to get into tighter areas that his larger precision detector couldn't access. Just as I was beginning to lose hope and was going to tell Sean that he gave a valiant effort and that I didn't want him to waste any more of his time and oxygen tank continuing, knowing he had a long drive back home. I know he wouldn't have gave up however, as he was determined to find it. He then got a hit under the edge of a massive 5 ft boulder, It turned out to just be a piece of wire. But his detector continued to ping on something, he searched and probed around further and bingo, he pulled out my wedding ring!

Sean never gave up on the search, and was determined to find my ring. Afterwards we relaxed for a little and ate some pizza and I got to know Sean more. Sean is a genuinely kind and friendly person. He is the sort of person that goes out of his way to help a stranger out, as that is exactly what he did for me. Giving up an entire Sunday to come and help out a stranger. He isn't doing it for money as he doesn't charge anything more than gas money to come out. He is simply passionate about metal detecting and being able to help people out. His experience and detecting skills is evident with my ring back on my finger. Sean's character and helping nature is top tier. My wife and I are so thankful to Sean Kelly for recovering my wedding ring. I know exactly who to call if something like this ever happens to me and anyone I know.

Thank you so much again Sean!

Your kindness and professionalism turned a stressful situation into a positive story we’ll always remember...

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2024)

Thank you so much for finding and returning my ring! Your quick response and dedication were truly remarkable, especially given the challenging circumstances. Your efforts in recovering the ring, despite the metal trash and difficult conditions at Waimanalo Beach, went above and beyond what we could have hoped for.

When my son Jonathan got stung by a Portuguese Man-O-War, it was a hectic moment, and losing the ring added to our stress. We were incredibly relieved and grateful when you found it. Your persistence, even extending beyond the initial search grid, made all the difference.

We can’t thank you enough for your help. Your kindness and professionalism turned a stressful situation into a positive story we’ll always remember. Aloha and heartfelt thanks to you!

Warmest regards, Novi, Josh, and Jonathan

Highly recommend Ed if you ever lose a ring or any other piece of jewellery you care about!

testimonial for Edward Trapper (2024)

I can’t say enough good things about Edward! He was kind, responsive and thorough and - most importantly - found my engagement ring!

I spent the morning at a pumpkin patch with my three kids and ended the day playing in a massive cornpit (filled with millions of corn kernels) for an hour. About an hour after I left I realized I didn’t have my engagement ring.

As I laid in bed at night thinking about the ring I found NJ Ring Finder and am so lucky I did!  He responded immediately even late at night and agreed to come out first thing in the morning before the farm opened. Within 30 min he found the ring and it was amazing!

Thank you so much for finding a needle in a haystack and being so helpful and kind in the process! Highly recommend Ed if you ever lose a ring or any other piece of jewellery you care about!

He is so kind and caring, he made the whole experience very positive. He is our Ring Hero!"

He searched tirelessly for an entire hour, employing various methods without showing any sign of giving up. His commitment and perseverance were truly impressive. Beyond his skills, Brian's joyful and kind demeanor made the experience even more pleasant. It was clear that he genuinely enjoys helping people, which made working with him a delight.

Professional and very courteous experience. Mahalo again Joe!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2024)

Joe is the real deal! He was very responsive and quick to coordinate with me to help find my ring that I lost in the ocean during my visit to Oahu. My ring was lost on the shore for almost 48 hours, and through using his equipment and checking tide patterns, Joe found my ring in under one minute! I was truly amazed at how quickly it was found and instantly so relieved. He was very fair when it came to pricing, and he helped to turn a quite unfortunate situation to a great story and memory that I will have for life! For those in my shoes thinking of using his services- please do! You will not regret it! Professional and very courteous experience. Mahalo again Joe!

I had the good fortune of finding Brendon here at The Ring Finders...

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2024)

"I had the good fortune of finding Brendon here at The Ring Finders right after loosing my ring in the lake. I was in good hands from the moment I got in touch.

I was worried we might not find it amidst other noise in the lake, or that when it slipped off my finger it may have landed in an even deeper part of the water. Thankfully, Brendon got its signal and I got the opportunity to help do some diving and scooping around until we retrieved the ring from the water.

Thanks again for getting it back for me, it was a great experience watching you do your thing!"

If you’ve lost a Ring and need help finding it, Jeff is your man!”

testimonial for Jeffrey Levy (2024)

“I lost my grandfathers gold ring on Saturday afternoon while I was playing with my daughter in the breakwater at Venice Beach. Later that night I found Jeff’s number and gave him a call. He didn’t pick up but texted me back immediately since he was in a movie. He called me back right after he finished the movie. Jeff was kind enough to go out of his way to grab the right metal detectors meet me at Venice Beach over an hour away from where he lives the next morning at low tide to look for my ring.

We met Jeff in the parking lot and pointed him in the right direction. After 20 minutes or so Jeff took a couple scoops out of the sand and FOUND the ring.

We were so happy we were able to get such a treasured family heirloom back and Jeff was perfect for the job.

If you’ve lost a Ring and need help finding it, Jeff is your man!”

I highly recommend his services!”

testimonial for Jeffrey Levy (2024)

“I cannot express how grateful I am to Jeffery Levy for finding my wedding ring! While hiking on a trail, my ring slipped off as I was cleaning up after my dog, and I didn’t notice until I reached the end of the trail. After two extensive searches on my own with no luck, I was heartbroken. The following Saturday, I reached out to Jeffery through theringfinders.com, and he was incredibly responsive and kind. Within just twenty minutes of searching, he found my ring! It was such a relief to have my precious ring back, and I am so thankful that there are wonderful people like Jeffery who dedicate their time and effort to help others in need. I highly recommend his services!”

This was a perfect family vacation in Harwich Port, only marred by the loss of the precious ring. Rick worked his magic to return the ring which now always will have a great story to make it even more special!

Thanks from Sylvia’s Grandma!

YOU FOUND MY BEAUTIFUL RINGS and saved our vacation.

testimonial for Jim Wren (2024)

I don’t have enough words to adequately say THANK YOU to you Jim and your son!!! I was afraid I’d never find the ring and yes we had used little shovels to dig around to try and find it.

Mark was the savior I needed when I lost my wedding ring

testimonial for Marks Detecting (2024)

Mark was the savior I needed when I lost my wedding ring in the softball field. He was patient, thorough, and determined to help me find what I had absentmindedly dropped out of my pocket. After searching for two and a half hours in the summer sun he called me over to show my ring nestled in the thick grass. I am so grateful to have had his help. Thank you thank you thank you!

You brought so much joy to my parents during dad’s final days...

testimonial for Don Wilson (2024)

Dear Don and Ellen,

Daddy passed on Sept. 11. We really want you to know what your gift of service meant to our family. You brought so much joy to my parents during dad’s final days. We love the video that your wife made and watch it often:). We will treasure this memory and the smile that you brought to their faces.

Every day, I look at my ring and am grateful to Alison...

testimonial for Alison Walker (2024)

Every day, I look at my ring and am grateful to Alison. It was very cold and damp the day she searched and after 3 1/2 hours of looking, I was convinced it wouldn’t be found. She remained positive and steadfast. What a woman! My heart almost stopped when she held up the ring. I will never forget that moment.

Hire Brian if you've lost your ring/valuable. Just do it...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2024)

"Hire Brian if you've lost your ring/valuable. Just do it. I was fairly positive that there was almost no chance that Brian would be able to locate my very loved engagement ring that had somehow fallen out of my pocket while traipsing all over the massive 30+ acre park next to my home. Brian was professional, very responsive, thorough, courteous, and wonderfully kind and positive about the whole horrible scenario. I really appreciated him being upfront and honest with me when he told me there was roughly only a 35% chance he would recover the ring over such a large area. Brian went above and beyond when he spent extra hours (of his own time) searching for the ring. Against all odds, and to our utter shock, Brian located the ring (on his 4th visit to the site, 8 days after I lost it) when he looked in an area we hadn't even thought to have him search originally. I truly can't ever thank him enough for what he did. My still baffled husband said after the ring was returned to us - "Wow! You really are the Ring Hero!""

Brendon, it was great to meet you and also just to know that people like you exist. Thanks to you and the Ring Finders for bringing my ring back to me. I’ll never forget you!

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2024)

My name is Debra and I recently spent time with family at Baker beach. It was a fantastic day and couldn’t have been more perfect. We gathered up our things and headed home, and it wasn’t until later that evening that I realized my ring finger was bare. My heart sank. I knew it had to be lost at the beach and would probably never be found (at least not by me).

A few days later, my husband and I returned to Baker Beach with a metal detector in hand, hoping to find my lost ring. Despite our best efforts, we only managed to uncover some debris. Disheartened, we headed back home, and I began to accept the fact that I may never see my ring again.

I made one more attempt and put a lost & found ad on Craigslist. Soon after I made my post, I was contacted by Brendon. He explained that he was with Ring Finders and that he’d be happy to go search for my ring. I took him up on his offer. I knew he would be more skilled at finding it than we were. He said he would go search Saturday morning and would be in touch.

On Saturday morning, we spoke during his search and he hadn’t found anything yet, but said he would continue searching for a bit longer. You can probably imagine my shock when I got a call from Brendon saying to check my texts. I could not believe my eyes! There it was! A photo of my ring! I’m still in complete disbelief (along with my entire family) that he found it and that it is now back on my finger. This ring has been with me for almost 25 years, through good and bad, and now it’s back where it belongs.

I’m beyond grateful to Brendon for going out of his way to do such an incredible thing. I’m still on Cloud 9 over the whole thing, honestly.

Brendon, it was great to meet you and also just to know that people like you exist. Thanks to you and the Ring Finders for bringing my ring back to me. I’ll never forget you!

Gratefully,

Debra

I never thought something like this could be possible and come together like it did. But it did with TheRingFinders and Michael Dewey!

testimonial for Michael Dewey (2024)

When my son called me from Lake Tahoe saying he had lost the ring that I had given him I was sure it was gone for good.

The ring had been my father’s, mine, and now his. The ring being also one of my son’s high school graduation gifts as he had recently graduated.

I had remembered hearing something about people who find jewelry. I looked online and found The Ringfinders. I chose to call Michael Dewey as he appeared to live close.

I called Michael and frantically rattled off the circumstances my son was in. Turns out I had interrupted his lunch and time he had been planning to spend with his own children. Michael was still ok with all of this and said reassuringly no problem, I can help!

O.K. So I just interrupted a man having lunch who I had never met, living states away from me who is putting his plans on hold to help me.

What is the location Michael asked. I told him Lake Tahoe. Evidently what looked close to me on a map was an hour and a half each way across the desert for Michael!

I thought for sure this wasn’t going to work. Again Michael said no problem!

Michael told me when he could be there the next day.I told him my son is leaving in the afternoon with his friends to come back home. He won’t be there. Again Michael says no problem!

I am thinking this is crazy! You can’t even get emergency assistance for home repairs this quickly most the time!

Michael met my son at the promised time. Within a short period of time he was able to locate my son’s ring!

I never thought something like this could be possible and come together like it did. But it did with TheRingFinders and Michael Dewey!

Thank you so much for finding my son’s lost ring. Hopefully he will be able to pass it onto a 4th generation someday!

I can’t say enough good things...

testimonial for Edward Trapper (2024)

Wowwwww I can’t say enough good things, super fairly priced, down to earth, and worked relentlessly for an hour and a half to find my gold chain about 8-12 feet deep in an LBI inlet behind our rental house, thought it was as good as gone! My man found it, and the price was super fair in my opinion, a small up front fee for expenses and then whatever you feel is fair for the value of the recovered item!!! Can’t recommend them enough!

Thank you, Jeff! And thank you RingFinders for having such an amazing service to the people in need!

testimonial for Jeffrey Levy (2024)

I cannot express how grateful we are to Jeff Levy for his incredible help in finding my ring at the beach, or more specifically into the low tide of the ocean! After realizing it was missing soon after it was pulled off by my wifes sudden grasp of my hand, I felt a wave (pun intended) of despair wash over me. After countless hours searching with my family, we came to terms it was gone forever....only until we spoke with Jeff from TheRingFinders. The early morning had arrived to meet with Jeff, and as he arrived with his metal detector, hope was restored. His expertise and determination were evident as he meticulously scanned the area before my arrival.

Within 30 minutes of our arrival and to our amazement he had found the ring, which holds sentimental value of course. Jeff’s kindness and willingness to assist made this experience not only successful but also very memorable. We are truly thankful for his support and highly recommend his services to anyone in need. Remind you his service is an offering and should always be met with great gratitude.

Thank you, Jeff! And thank you RingFinders for having such an amazing service to the people in need!

Sincerely,

Billy & Daisy

Dedicated professional! Truly, truly grateful!

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2024)

I was in total shock after losing my wedding ring, and just one month after the big day! I spent hours searching that lake and wandering the property; a whole long weekend stuck in panic mode. Finding Stephan, not the ring, was what I needed to do! As soon as I got off the phone with him, I felt instantly relaxed for the first time in days. He knew all the right questions to ask in helping me retrace my steps, and I was confident he would be able to help. And did he ever come through! He arrived the next day and was so proficient at finding the ring. He is also just a lovely human being who is so passionate to help reunite people with their irreplaceables. A lesson learned for me that weekend, and a metal detector souvenir as reminder. I’m beyond grateful to Stephan for his help.

Steve is the absolute best thing that has happened to this planet...

testimonial for Steve Smith (2024)

Steve is the absolute best thing that has happened to this planet. I went into an absolute panic when I could not find my diamond ring at the beach. Worst part is, it was already getting dark. I went back, spent 2 hours looking for it, digging in the sand, tearing apart our car, and I just could not find it. I was crying my eyes out because the ring has so much sentimental value and this incident was truly going to wreck my month, if not year!

Meanwhile my fiancé was messaging Steve and asked him if he would be able to find it. Steve immediately responded and hopped in his car straight away. He drove over 40 minutes just to meet us and arrived with a smile and ready to save the day! He was so kind and immediately went to the scene of the crime. And within less than 10 minutes, he pulled out my ring from the sand! It was truly magical!

I cannot thank Steve enough. He is truly incredible! I could not have found someone better!

You’re a lifesaver...

He gave us hope and did an amazing job!

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2024)

Thank you Mark! You are a life saver. Both my wife and I never thought we would see that ring again. Now we have an amazing story to go with it. Such selfless service to someone you don’t even know. You immediately text back and went out in the middle of the night to find it for me. Pretty epic! I 100 percent suggest Mark for anyone who has had this type of unfortunate thing happen to them. He gave us hope and did an amazing job! I am very appreciative of his efforts- and he dropped it off to me? It doesn’t get better. Thank you very much!

There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude.

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2024)

Mark thank you so much for your willingness to search for my necklace. This was a gift from my Mom and I’ve had it for over 20 years. I was devastated when it went missing. I had posted about it online, but didn’t know if I would ever be able to find it. When I contacted you Mark, you were immediately available and had a plan to help me get my necklace back. I was absolutely stunned when I got the voicemail that you had found it so quickly. I feel like the luckiest person in the world getting it back. Thanks for your work Mark, I will never forget that low tide night at La Jolla Shores with one of your luckiest finds. There aren’t enough words to express my gratitude.

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2024)

Mark is amazing!! I am so lucky to have found him through the ring finders. I had given up all hope of my husband’s ring being found, but Mark miraculously found it without me even showing him where we were when the ring was lost. He used pictures and maps to get an idea of where we were, and after hours of searching he sent a text letting me know that he had found it. So awesome!! Thank you so much!!

Ed, I can’t thank you enough.

testimonial for Edward Duffey (2024)

Ed, I can’t thank you enough. I knew when I posted it to the Facebook page it was a long shot and then you came along and it didn’t take long at all to have his ring back on his finger. It’s his comfort zone and calms him during stress! Ed found it right in time for our 1st year anniversary! We greatly appreciate you Ed and you really go above and beyond! I feel it lifts your spirits to lift others and in such a positive way as wedding rings symbolize much more than just being a ring! Thank you Ed for everything!!!

Thanks to you I feel I am really able to help my aunts memory live on.

testimonial for Steve Smith (2024)

Thank you so much again for your time and services! I truly appreciate you. Thanks to you I feel I am really able to help my aunts memory live on. Below is my testimonial!

I lost my three rings and earrings on a Huntington Beach day - two of the rings were from my late aunt. I found out about Ring Finders through Reddit and knew I had to give this service a shot after I realized I would not be able to replace these rings readily and easily - one of them was a particular black opal and I felt there was no way I could find another like it. I called Steve and he sprang into action - my boyfriend said he was like Jason Bourne! Steve drove out to Huntington Beach within the hour and was able to find all of my jewelry that same night. Steve is an absolute hero and a gem (like all of the gems he helps find). Highly recommend relying on him and his services.

Thank you!

Within 25 minutes he found my ring...

testimonial for Ron Forster (2024)

I lost my wedding ring in the backyard on Friday night. After several extensive visual searches that evening and Saturday, I was still unable to find my ring. Ron’s name appeared in his blog, under lost rings and also on, “The Ring Finders” website. I called Ron and he was able to meet early the next morning to do a metal detecting search for my wedding ring. Ron took a moment and showed me how his metal detector worked. Within 25 minutes he found my ring and placed it in my hand. What a feeling of relief . Thanks very much Ron.

Jim went above and beyond in finding my ring...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2024)

Jim went above and beyond in finding my ring. I had already let 2 days go by and given up on finding it. Then I started searching on my phone, late on our last night, and decided to give it one more try. Someone had posted about theringfinders.com when I was looking for local lost and found postings. I read about Jim’s successes and he agreed to give it a try, knowing that I wasn’t even really sure I had lost it on the beach. I gave him a fairly large area to search as well. Wes and my 2 girls had picked out my ring together so it held a special meaning for us.

We never expected Jim to go out and search a second day and we were truly grateful that he cared so much to take the extra time, especially in the July heat! I highly recommend him!!

Rick, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

testimonial for Richard Browne (2024)

Rick, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ll try and add a little more color to the story, although you pretty much summed it up well.

We have been going to a beach at Sheep Pond for the last 20 years, while my parents owned a house nearby. My children grew up going there, and one day while playing catch with my son, I looked down and noticed my ring had gotten knocked off. Despite our best efforts to find the ring that day, we were unsuccessful. It never dawned on me that there were people who were able to find items like this. I just assumed it was gone forever.

Flash forward 11 years, my parents have sold the house, so we aren’t able to get there as much as we used to, but it is still one of our favorite places on the Cape. We were on the Cape this last week, and were able to spend an afternoon at Sheep, as we were packing up to leave for the day, I saw Rick and his friend walk into the water with their metal detectors. I immediately thought to ask them if they had ever found a platinum ring there, and Rick almost immediately said, “I think I have your ring”

I don’t think there is much more I can add to Rick’s story, other than to say thank you for holding onto the ring all these years.

Joe did an amazing job!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2024)

Joe did an amazing job! Sarah picked this ring only 2 months ago for our 20 year anniversary. Losing something with such special meaning in the middle of a vacation can cause unexpected stress. Losing it in the sand is like finding a needle in a haystack. The second I contacted Joe, he headed straight to the rescue. He had the equipment and skills to put our hearts and minds at ease within minutes! Thank you so much!!!

. Leave it to the professional!

testimonial for Paul Humphreys (2024)

Totally amazing, we looked forever. Leave it to the professional! Great work.

The title “The Ring Hero” may seem like a superlative, but that is truly what Brian Rudolph is.

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2024)

"So, you know when you get into one of those desperate situations where you feel like your only option is to call a professional, but you have no idea if it will be worth the cost or if it will even work out if you do so? That was the situation I was in yesterday after losing my wedding ring in a volleyball match. Immediately when I lost the ring me, my team, and the opposing team (7 people total) all got on our hands and knees to comb through the grass in hopes of finding it. After about 20 minutes or so of not being able to find anything, I frantically searched to find a store nearby that had a metal detector in stock. I got the only one I could find and spent another 3 frustrating hours searching with the metal detector while dealing with lots of false positives until it was dark (while my teammates also stuck around searching by eye), and then continued for another hour by myself trying to use a flashlight to see if I could see the reflection of the ring.

After all of this I turned to the internet once again and found a Reddit post mentioning THE RING FINDERS network, which in turn led me to finding Brian Rudolph’s contact info. I messaged him to see if he was available to help. I was still a little frantic, but Brian responded relatively quickly to my message, called me up right away to get more details on the when, where, and how I lost my ring, and then we scheduled to meet up near the volleyball court the next morning.

I must admit I was skeptical. It was kind of a last act of desperation to get my ring back and I wasn’t fully convinced he could find it. After all, multiple people spending multiple hours searching for it could not find it. Well, I met up with Brian right when he agreed to be on site (he was actually earlier than me). He talked me through how he was going to search for it. I was hopeful but somewhat questioning as Brian said he would start sweeping the outer perimeter of the court, far beyond where I was (center court) when I lost the ring, and then work his way into the center. After maybe 40 minutes Brian had finished his search of the outer perimeter and center court without finding anything. I was pretty disheartened at this point, but Brian was optimistic and said he would try searching even farther out than the initial sweep, on the opposite side of the court that I was on. I figured there was no chance of him finding it there, but figured why not, let him try. I had nothing to lose. Not ten minutes later was Brian shouting out to me to come over. He had found the ring about 45 feet from where I lost it, in less time than all the other people who tried to help find it.

The title “The Ring Hero” may seem like a superlative, but that is truly what Brian Rudolph is. I cannot believe how quickly and easily he found the ring. More than that, he was incredibly optimistic the entire time, great at talking me through the process, and congratulatory when the ring was found. Throughout the entire process I did not feel pressured at all about pricing; Brian only asked for a small travel fee to cover him coming out and then a reward payment (whatever I thought was reasonable, he did not dictate how much or question the amount I suggested) that would only have to be paid if the ring was found. I really cannot recommend his services enough. I would have been fine losing the ring from a financial / materialistic aspect, it is after all just a thing that can be replaced, but the sentimental value associated with it is priceless and Brian was able to recover it for me. I am eternally grateful for that. If you lose something valuable, save yourself the headache and call Brian right away. He is worth every penny and a great guy in general."

Jim, I truly believe words cannot express my gratitude to you for finding my wedding ring.

testimonial for Jim Wren (2024)

Jim,

I truly believe words cannot express my gratitude to you for finding my wedding ring. But, I’ll give it my best shot.

Matt and I met 7 years ago and knew immediately it was meant to be. He is my rock, my soulmate, my best friend. He and I have been through some wonderful times and some hard times. The birth of our daughter, Olivia, was one of those wonderful times. She is now four, and this was her very first trip to the beach. As we made our way into the surf, she was apprehensive and grasped my hand tightly. The waves that day were a bit rough, as I think you mentioned. I held her hand tight as I could, and we went in about calves-deep. One bigger-than-expected wave knocked her down, and ‘mama bear’ kicked in. I wasn’t thinking about anything else at that moment, I scooped her up, and we went back to our towels to dry off. A few minutes later I felt something was “off” and I glanced down at my left ring finger, which was now bare. My heart sank, I told Matt what happened, and we both cried. I thought back to our wedding day, the beautiful ceremony where we promised to love each other “til death do us part”, and my grandfather walking me down the aisle. My grandfather was more “dad” than grandpa, and one of my last memories with him in good health was him walking me down the aisle on my wedding day. It was only a year or so later that we lost him. I was so excited when you found my ring I didn’t even remember to tell you, but you remind me so much of my grandfather. He is my guardian angel, and I like to think he might have been helping us that day (or at least put in a good word with the man upstairs, haha). I just couldn’t believe the time and effort you put in, hours in the heat searching and searching. Many would have given up, but you didn’t. Thank you so much for your kindness and selflessness that day; you will always hold a special place in my heart.

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................

We were spectators watching this entire event unfold. We saw you arrive and begin working. After a few hours I had little hope of her ring being found. We were sitting in front of Kayla and Matt on the beach and my husband actually saw you the moment you found that ring. It was a very happy ending! I can imagine the relief she felt. Thank you for what you do!

I’m very grateful to Mr Parker...

testimonial for Jim Parker (2024)

I’m very grateful to Mr Parker (FredMo lost treasure) for finding my diamond ring that I had lost a few weeks prior doing yard work.

My family & I looked for several days. I was to the point…it’s gone.

We tried our grandkids metal detector they use to play with at the beach….

Nothing but nails. lol

My husband googled jewelry or treasure finder… Mr Parker’s name came up, we called & made an appointment for Mr Parker to come out.

I showed him the area I was in, retracing my steps to him & ONE HOUR LATER HE FOUND IT!!! I was so happy I’m in tears!

I told my husband & boys afterwards they were so happy for me.

We are very happy for the service he provided.

Thank you so much Mr Parker…..

Jeff from The Ring Finders came out to my dad’s home as my dad had lost his wedding ring while gardening in the yard. Jeff was so kind and considerate, came to my dad’s home the first chance he had and within 10 minutes of searching found my dad's wedding ring! Although the ring was not expensive pricewise, it meant so much to my dad and the rest of us to have it back. I definitely have kept Jeff’s number in case anyone I speak with loses an item. We are also grateful! THANK YOU Ring Finders!!!

testimonial for Edward Trapper (2024)

I'm not one to post on social media, but I want to recognize and give credit where credit is due. I was in the water at Surf City Bay Beach and my wedding band fell off while playing with my kids. I was fairly certain it was a goner. I found Ed Trapper @ NJ Ring Finder through this page. He called immediately after I texted and met with us shortly after making contact.

Within an hour of getting in the water, he found the ring. Great guy who is determined and looks forward to getting his clients a positive outcome. Very much appreciated!

Thanks for saving our July 4th Brian!

testimonial for Brian Tucholke (2024)

Brian spared no effort in his search —I was incredibly impressed by his tenacity. While I was distressed about the ring, I was able to enjoy my day on the beach knowing that someone with experience was doing everything he could to locate it. Even when I was ready to give up, Brian was not! After 26 years of marriage, that ring held great significance to me and I don’t know what I would’ve done if it wasn’t recovered! Thanks for saving our July 4th Brian!

Enthusiastically recommend Jim.

If you look up Angel up on Wikipedia, Joe’s picture would appear I’m sure of it! I am VERY thankful for Joe’s services and his kind heart...

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2024)

If you look up Angel up on Wikipedia, Joe’s picture would appear I’m sure of it! I am VERY thankful for Joe’s services and his kind heart, but most importantly, his persistence as he kept me hopeful with the details during the process of his search. As Joe mentioned from his storyline, I pointed a measurable (if you want to call it that) area I “thought” I lost the rings. Almost 2 hours in, no rings, but to Joe’s expertise, there were signs that indicated no one else could have search within the areas I pointed out. He asked again if I were sure of the exact location, how deep I was in, what my exact movement were as I lost the rings. Joe took as much details as I could remember and let me tell you, at the state of panic, it could have made any memory murky.

Defeated by humidity and populated tourist along the shoreline of the beach, it dawn to my partner that Joe could be searching in the wrong area.

Luckily, my partner pointed out an area he recalled that could have been the exact spot. Within 15-20 mins, Joe made eye contact with me, held up what looked like a very small circular coin, and smiled a huge smile I could never forget. It was the first ring I lost- the sapphire/diamond! 10 mins later, to Joe’s exhaustion, he made the same gesture from when he found my first ring, walked back to the shores as I ran from where I was watching. He gave me the courtesy of picking out my wedding band through the mix of rocks from his metal scooper. Behold, there it was as shiny as the day I received it. I couldn’t help but hug Joe tightly???? Thank you so much again Joe, your interest in this hobby sure has made a lot of people grateful as am I.

I wanted to write an email to note just how professional, attentive, and selfless Steve Smith is as a ringfinder.

testimonial for Steve Smith (2024)

Hello,

I wanted to write an email to note just how professional, attentive, and selfless Steve Smith is as a ringfinder.

I lost my wedding ring on Ocean Park Beach in Santa Monica on Sunday. After an hour of scrounging through the sand, I was resigned to the fact that it was lost for good. A few hours later, I was pulling out my insurance documents when I had the 11th hour idea to Google similar stories, mostly to find commiseration in other unlucky ring-wearers who suffered the same fate as me.

Luckily, I came across a Reddit post that mentioned TheRingFinders. Steve's profile was the first I saw. I noticed that he stayed current on his page and figured, why not give it a try? Steve responded to my text about 10 minutes later as he was sitting down for dinner and offered to meet me two hours later.

What I didn't know at the time was that Steve lives in Palos Verdes, about an hour away. What I learned later was that Steve had just returned from jobs in Glendale and Will Rogers Beach. Still, after a busy day of searching and driving, he made himself available on a Sunday night. Within five minutes of being on the beach, Steve miraculously found the ring on a dark beach.

While this is just a ring and there are much more important things in the world, it carries great meaning to me and my wife. Steve was responsive, warm, and highly determined to help locate this ring. We'll be toasting his efforts for years to come (and I'll never wear my ring to the beach again). We are endlessly grateful for his time and efforts.

If I ever hear anybody - friend, family, or stranger - lose something at a beach or park, I will be singing Steve and the Ringfinder network's praises.

With many thanks,

Rob Harrington

Nice ring good catch.

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2024)

Nice ring good catch. I was snorkling off a very popular Maui Brach years age. As soon as I popped my head out of the water a young girl/new Bride called me over to her. She told me that her Husbands new wedding ring had fallen off his finger. Right around where she was standing. So I went on the hunt. Within lass then30 seconds I fund the ring and put it on my right hand index finger. Kept my head in the water below and lett my finger with the ring ascend oyut of the water. Just like Lady of the Lake did with King Arthurs Sword. I was so happy to help and they were thrilled. Sunscreenwas/is part of the problem with rings sliding off as wellas water retention durinf Filying.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Steve for finding my missing wedding ring set..

testimonial for Steve Smith (2024)

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Steve for finding my missing wedding ring set. On my last day in California, I was enjoying a day at the beach with my sister, and as we packed up to leave, I realized my rings were missing. Despite our efforts to find them, we left the beach empty-handed. However, my sister found 'The Ring Finders' online, and we connected with Steve, who searched the beach for four hours and found my engagement band. This community is filled with kind and selfless people like Steve, who go above and beyond to help others. Thank you so much, Steve!

We are so grateful for your expertise – we couldn’t have recovered it without you!

testimonial for Dennis Burlingame (2024)

I am forever grateful to Dennis for helping me recover my rings of 30 years that symbolized not only my marriage but my family and whole life. Thank you!! Thank you!! God guided Dennis to where my rings were and he found them after 48 hours of being lost in beautiful Belmar beach. He gave me little hope because Belmar is one of the most sought after for “treasurer hunters” but you can never give up on faith and a person willing to help like Dennis. May God bless you and guide you to always bring happiness to the one that seek your help.

You’re incredible at what you do and the services you provide to help complete strangers goes to show how kind and selfless you are. Thanks again, Brian.

I highly recommend reaching out to Edward. His service is nothing short of miraculous!

testimonial for Edward Trapper (2024)

I cannot express enough gratitude to Edward for his extraordinary ring-finding service! My family and I were at the beach when we lost a cherished ring. We spent hours scouring the sand, growing increasingly frustrated and worried that it was gone for good. Just when we were about to give up, we found Edward's service and decided to give it a try.

Edward arrived within an hour of our call, bringing both professionalism and a ray of hope. He was incredibly understanding and reassuring, which instantly put us at ease. Watching him work with his metal detector was impressive, and within a surprisingly short time, he located my ring buried in the sand.

Edward's swift and expert help turned a potential vacation disaster into a memorable story with a happy ending. He is not just a skilled professional but a true lifesaver. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to Edward. His service is nothing short of miraculous!

I simply can’t Thank You enough Allen!! You are an answer to my prayers !

testimonial for Allen Zenker (2024)

Thank you so much Allen!!

I lost my wedding band on Sunday. I looked for what seemed like hours in the sun with no luck. I was completely devastated.

Someone suggested I post on a facebook group that the locals use to see if someone found it.

I figure my ring was a lost cause. It was Thursday and still no luck. My ring was simply gone. With all the messages I received on the post, someone tagged Allen with Ring finders. I thought “It wouldn’t hurt to ask” . After sending a message, Allen immediately called me. We spoke about the area and he said he would go out right away. Less than 3 hours later he called me with great news!!!

He found my ring!!!

I simply can’t Thank You enough Allen!! You are an answer to my prayers !

I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone searching for lost valuables!

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2024)

I lost my wedding ring that has some family history while mowing the lawn a week ago, and I searched for hours, coming up empty. It could've been anywhere, but it sat in my lawn for a few days before I got in contact with Jonathan. He came out to my house the next morning, and found it within an hour in a spot that I probably looked at dozens of times. Fantastic guy providing prompt service, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone searching for lost valuables!

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2024)

Brian found my ring!! I was hopefully optimistic, but I was honestly worried my rings would never be found. We have very extensive landscaping and they fell out of my pocket while doing yard work. After several days of searching on our own with borrowed metal detectors, my husband did a Google search for THE RING FINDERS. He was able to come promptly and searched for 2 hours. I was shocked Brian actually found it. I'm beyond relieved!"

This man is a gem, and I'm so appreciative of the work he does..

testimonial for Allen Zenker (2024)

I thought my great-grandfather's ring was lost to the Atlantic forever. It is irreplaceable, and I was devastated. We thought maybe one day, years from now, someone with a metal detector may find it and we could keep an eye online if we saw it posted - but we knew this was highly unlikely. However, when searching online we found Al on TheRingFinders. Again, we gave him the information and thought he may just keep it in mind next time he searched this area; however, he met us the next morning and found my ring in what seemed like under ten minutes! We were astonished and so incredibly thankful. This man is a gem, and I'm so appreciative of the work he does. Now the ring will continue to be passed down by our family with another little story to go along with it. Thank you!!

We are so blessed people like you exist...

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2024)

Aloha Joe! Thank you so much for the work you do! We are so blessed people like you exist. Our love story would have had a different story line with our lost wedding band. You restored to us what was lost & our love story has deeper meaning with my husband’s wedding band being found. It turns out after looking closely at Eli’s finger with the wedding band on again, he lost some weight recently and the ring fits slightly too loose. The weight loss combined with the slippery sunscreen was a recipe for disaster as he played in the lagoon with our kids. We will never forget you & will tell our children this story! Our 2 kids have been telling everyone who will listen. We will sing your high praises and send others your way if they ever find themselves in a situation like ours. After knowing your name we found your blog this morning & saw other articles written about you. Wow! You guys are amazing! Thank you so so so so much! We will continue to pray over you and your teams safety as you work to recover other items in the elements of Hawaii and worldwide.

So glad Emily’s ring was found...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2024)

So glad Emily’s ring was found. We live at Sunset and I told her to give you a call as you have great success. We were leaving the beach when you were walking down to the beach. Thanks for all you do for so many!

I am so happy and extremely grateful you found my rings...

testimonial for Ron Forster (2024)

I lost 2 rings at a soccer field and after searching the field a couple of times, I was not able to locate my lost rings. I called Ron on Saturday evening, who is listed on, "The Ring Finders" and he agreed to meet me at the park at 10:00 am the next day. I showed Ron the area where I believed the 2 rings were lost. He started metal detecting in search of the rings and within a half and hour Ron had found my 2 rings. Ron, I am so happy and extremely grateful you found my rings. Thank you so much Ron.

"Hire Brian Rudolph - THE RING HERO!

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2024)

"Hire Brian Rudolph - THE RING HERO! I tried finding my platinum wedding ring with a metal detector but I wasn't successful. Then, I planned to rent a better metal detector but after talking with Brian, I decided to acquire his true professional metal detecting services! Brian came out, scanned my property, and then he used his experience to search beyond my lawn onto the other side of the fence! Brian continued metal detecting and without giving up he successfully recovered my irreplaceable ring 35 feet beyond my second story deck, beyond the fence, over on the adjacent lawn and down the hill! Amazing! My wife and I are beyond excited and extremely grateful for Brian's expertise and passion to help people like us retain something as important as my special wedding band! Call him! He'll most likely end up being your RING HERO too!"

I can’t recommend Brendon enough. Don’t give up hope! Give Brendon a call!

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2024)

Madison here! I am beyond thankful for Brendon’s help finding my wedding ring. As he said, I lost it on busy Memorial Day at the lake and spent the better part of an hour diving down to look to no avail. I texted Brendon that afternoon and received a call a few hours later. He was so courteous and told me what to expect and the steps he would have to take to get permission to go metal detecting in the later at a regional park.

Two days later we met up there after agreeing on a time that worked for us both. As soon as I rolled up, he excited said, “Are you ready to get this ring back?” I was hopeful and never once questioned his enthusiasm or skill, but there was a part of me that was skeptical that *anyone* could find my ring in the water after 72 hours and so much foot traffic.

We both went into the water and he explained his methodology; first conducting a “hasty search” based on my memory of where I dropped it, and then moving on to a more structured grid search. Brendon never lost his enthusiasm, and I could tell he lived for this sort of thing. After about an hour and a few course corrections, he walked up to me and asked, “Did it look like this?” He was holding my ring! I was shocked and elated and gave him a hearty hug. The lifeguards on the beach that day were excited to hear that he had made the recovery, but no one was happier than me that afternoon.

After me we made the recovery we took some time to just chat and soak in the scenery that afternoon. Brendon is an East Bay native and had lots of good stories about the area. We found out that we’re both history buffs and we swapped stories and anecdotes for the better part of an hour. The only thing missing was a couple beers. Beers (and BBQ) are on me when we meet again, Brendon.

If you’ve lost something valuable (even if it’s only valuable to you) I can’t recommend Brendon enough. Don’t give up hope! Give Brendon a call!

Ron, thanks again for finding my wedding ring...

testimonial for Ron Forster (2024)

I lost my wedding ring in my backyard last night while cleaning yard waste and throwing the waste over the fence. It was after cleaning that I had noticed my wedding ring was gone. I searched the area that I thought my ring could have been, but couldn't find it. I located Ron's name, on-line, in his Ring Finders blog and called him that night. Ron replied to my call that night and agreed to come to do a ring search the next morning. Ron found my ring in about an hour. It was in an area about 45 feet away

from where I originally thought it was and searched. Ron, thanks again for finding my wedding ring this morning. I greatly appreciated your fast response. Thank you, Tim.

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2024)

"Brian Rudolph promptly arrived at my house at 7am as promised. I showed him the area where I lost my wedding band a few days before. Within 10 minutes of searching with his metal detector he found my ring. He was a super nice guy from the 1st time I spoke to him on the phone up until the end when he left. He was very professional and was just as excited as me to find the ring. I highly recommend Brian for any of your lost sentimental items and am fully confident he can find whatever you are looking for. A job well done!"

After hours of searching the prior day for my lost ring, I stumbled onto ringfinders. Who knew services like this existed! Messaged Bill the next morning and within a couple of hours he arrived and was out scouring the woods. The search area has alot of black soil (same color as ring) and covered in a thick layer of leaves.

I was pretty skeptical that the ring would be found but in 45 min Bill came up with the prize.

Thanks for finding the inpossible Bill!

the right equipment and expertise makes A HUGE the difference...

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2024)

Wonderful story and an amazing ending! For those that are skeptical, I would say that having the right equipment and expertise makes A HUGE the difference.

In the past 34 years, I've only taken my wedding band off for cleaning a handful of times. But recently while working in the yard, my ring came off and was lost.

Thank you Dennis. I had heard about my mother losing her ring years ago when I ordered mine while attending TA. Although I didn’t make the “ring returning party”, it was great to see what the ring actually looked like. Thank you again!

Highly recommended.

testimonial for Jim Wren (2024)

Jim was very quick to respond and show up to help find a gold necklace pendant that had fell off the chain. Highly recommended.

I would hire him again in a heartbeat if it happened again. He's 100% legit and worth every penny. I am so grateful for his service and can't thank him enough!

testimonial for Keith Wille (2024)

"Rarely do I leave a review, but I was so impressed with Keith's quick find. Took him 30 mins to find 3 rings I had lost in the snow. I was out sledding with my kid after a fresh set of snow and of course, didn't think to wear gloves. It wasn't until much later that I noticed my rings missing, and after going through photos, we narrowed it down to a small timeframe. We bought a metal detector and searched out in the snow to no avail. I emailed Keith, and he got back to me early next morning with news that he could come in a few days as he was booked. Due to the snow, it seemed like it was a busy time. He came that Sunday and gave me a 2-hour window with an approximate eta. He showed up on time with a very serious metal detector and went straight to work after asking a few questions. He's a really nice guy with a warm but professional demeanor, and I would hire him again in a heartbeat if it happened again. He's 100% legit and worth every penny. I am so grateful for his service and can't thank him enough! Thanks, Keith!"

He was professional and efficient. He found the ring in less than an hour!”

testimonial for Keith Wille (2024)

I lost my wedding band and spent several hours, over several days, searching for it. I knew exactly where it was and even bought a metal detector to try and find it. When all hope was lost, I turned to Keith. It was more of a process than I thought, but not more than the ring was worth to me so, in the end, absolutely the best decision. He was professional and efficient. He found the ring in less than an hour!”

I am profoundly grateful for his help...

testimonial for Keith Wille (2024)

Having lost an heirloom (four generations back) wedding band in my yard, I was very anxious to find it. Hours of searching on my hands and knees and with a borrowed metal detector was fruitless. Keith and his wife came in and found it in about 15 minutes. I am profoundly grateful for his help. As with so many things in life, there is no substitute in this field for skill/experience and having the right equipment + knowing how to use it, and Keith ticks all these boxes. If you've lost something metal and have been unable to find it yourself, don't despair - get Keith involved.

Greatly appreciate his service, and would use him again if the need arose!”

testimonial for Keith Wille (2024)

“Can’t say how thankful I am to Keith for his service in finding my wedding ring after it slipped off my wet hand while finishing some work around my pool. Like a lot of folks, I took a quick look, didn’t find it, then headed to Walmart to look for a metal detector. In the world of “you get what you pay for”, this is especially true. After about 4 hours of working with that, I realized it was time to call in a professional. Keith was able to show up several days later, since it wasn’t urgent due to being on private property, and after about an hour; found my ring. Greatly appreciate his service, and would use him again if the need arose!”

I highly recommend Steve.

testimonial for Steve LaForce (2024)

I can’s say how much i appreciate Steve. He was professional, called me back when he felt weather was best to find mom’s ring and showed up when he said he would. I had given up hope when I lost it back in the field 6-8 months ago. Many people had tried to find it so i had given up hope when i ran accross ringfinders. I highly recommend Steve.

he was kind, trustworthy and a wonderful soul...

This is Megan the girl above and I can’t tell you enough how truly incredible Ron was. I honestly had zero expectations but not only did he find my ring he was kind, trustworthy and a wonderful soul. Forever my new friend Ron!

Henry Lucero is one of the angels that God puts on earth to help us all get through those moments which we can’t understand but that happened.

testimonial for Henry Lucero (2024)

Ring Finder Glory

Henry Lucero is one of the angels that God puts on earth to help us all get through those moments which we can’t understand but that happened. After 40 years I lost my ring. I cannot tell you how important that Ring was because that would take days if not, if not years. it was my wedding ring and it meant a great deal to me from a sentimental standpoint. I called Henry and I let him know what happened. He took the time to listen and question me so that the moment that he got here he could go to work and find my ring. it was lost in the backyard, but large backyard with grass and flowerbeds and a very large garden. I watched him take out the technology that he had but I also watched him with his eyes and his mind working the land. One minute turn to 10 and 10 to 20 I began to think that it would not be found . I saw a smile come across his face I saw his hand open. I saw shiny golden ring that he had found my emotions took the best of me as I grabbed Henry and hugged him, and the tears began to come down my face. He is so good. He is so talented. he is so respectful of understanding how important a lost item like a ring could be. I recommend him to anyone who has lost something important in their lives as he will find it. I’m headed this morning to get the ring resized so we don’t go through this again , but before I do, I wanted to share this moment with all of you about Henry Lucero. Lucero rhymes with hero and that’s what he is to us.

I would not have found my ring had it not been for Greg and Ring Finders.

testimonial for Greg Lewis (2024)

Thank you soooo much Greg! People should know that in 10 minutes, JUST 10 MINUTES! You found my wedding ring. Easy as that but with great skill. Having previously spent hours over several weeks looking in the same area, trying to find it myself, I was simply amazed.

But the real find is Greg. He is friendly, easy to talk to, highly skilled and a man of high integrity. I would not have found my ring had it not been for Greg and Ring Finders.

Thanks Ron for your concern and kindness shown and quick response.

testimonial for Ron Forster (2024)

I lost my VW (2012) key fob in the ice and deep snow while visiting my Sister’s animal farm to help her with some farm maintenance. I lost the other key fob some year ago, so I was not able to drive the car home. I rented a metal detector but was still not able to find my key fob, not to mention how I felt in the extremely cold weather we experienced last week. I thought it was a lost cause. I searched the internet and noticed Ron’s name on the Ring Finders web-site. I called him Wednesday night and he returned my call immediately. He assured me that he could come the next day (Thursday) to search for my key fob. Fortunately, Ron found my key fob in about 2 hours, as mentioned, in extremely cold weather. I can’t tell you how it felt when Ron handed me the VW key fob. Thanks Ron for your concern and kindness shown and quick response.

Sincerely,

Tonia

I highly recommend his services!

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2024)

I was cleaning snow off my car in the dark and later while picking up dinner I noticed I didn't have my wedding ring on my finger anymore. My wife and I spent a couple hours searching in the snow for it with no luck. After giving up hope finding it myself, I placed a call to Jonathan and he came out a couple hours later. He ended up finding it in under 5 minutes! I am so grateful for his ability to locate my ring so quickly. If you lose your ring or any other metal valuables, I highly recommend you give Jonathan a call!

I cannot thank Pete enough and highly recommend him for jewellery recoveries

testimonial for Pete McGhee (2024)

I cannot thank Pete enough and highly recommend him for jewellery recoveries.

I lost both my ring and necklace that were very sentimental in the surf at Taupo bay and had lost all hope after groups of us searching. After being recommended on the local Facebook page I rang Pete the next day and he said he was able to come that night. After marking where I lost my jewellery Pete set off searching. He was extremely thorough and asked many questions to try his best to locate it. After a while of searching, I was starting to lose hope, as were those who had gathered to watch him. Pete started digging and held up my ring, a few minutes later he held up the pendant to my necklace. The relief I felt in that moment was amazing. Pete is incredible, very kind and thorough. I cannot recommend or thank him enough!

I found Steve on TheRingfinders.com and he responded promptly and came out to my house the next day. I know I wouldn’t have been able to find the ring without his help as I had tried for hours during that day and at night with a flashlight, no luck. The ring flew off my finger into my the flower garden in my front yard that is filled with dense foliage and thorny roses. Steve was not deterred by the thorns and went to work…in only 25 minutes he had found my ring!! I cannot thank him enough and I’m amazed that there are people like Steve that offer this service. I will be singing his praises and telling everyone I know that there’s no need for despair if you lose a ring…it can be found by The Ringfinders!

We are so very grateful for your hard work Pete...

testimonial for Pete McGhee (2024)

My 81 year old Mum decided to do some weeding at the bach on Tokerau Beach. She threw some weeds into a nearby clump of flax bushes. Later in the day she realised she’d lost both her diamond engagement ring and her emerald and diamond eternity ring!!!

We scoured the whole property but couldn’t find it. I’d seen a post a few days earlier on the Karikari peninsula page about someone who had lost a bangle on the beach. I searched the page and found Northland Jewellery Recoveries and contacted them. Pete was very quick to respond and came out the next day. After a very professional and thorough search Pete found BOTH of mum’s rings within 45 minutes in the flax!!! We are so very grateful for your hard work Pete. You certainly made not only Mum cry, but you made her day. Thank you so much.

You’re my hero! I highly (times infinity) recommend him!!!!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2024)

I am sooooooo thankful to Joe! I was so sad to lose my ring and that night and the following day my brother Kevin and his girlfriend London spent hours walking back and forth on the beach and digging in the sand. We even spent money renting cheap metal detectors and found nothing. I was so brokenhearted! I saw Joe’s page and gave him a message. He immediately called back and the next day went out with us to Makua Beach and 10 minutes later found my wedding ring! I gave him a big hug and felt so relieved! He was very professional and kind and took my sadness seriously as he searched for my ring! Joe! You’re my hero! I highly (times infinity) recommend him!!!!

A saviour. Pete didn’t give up.

testimonial for Pete McGhee (2024)

A saviour. Pete didn’t give up.

I lost the ring at Long Beach, Russell.

I contacted Pete and sent him a photo, marking the location, which was slightly off to one side of where we actually had been.

Pete went to the site twice, locating it on the second go.

I can’t recommend Northland Jewellery Recoveries enough.

Brian Rudolph is truly my Ring Hero!!!"

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2024)

"I was just gifted with a ring upgrade for our ten year anniversary/ push gift. I took off my ring and placed it on the dashboard and it was just my luck that I knocked it deep inside the car's internal parts. I couldn't reach it nor see it. I began googling how to dismantle my dashboard and sadly realized that was not a job for me. While on YouTube watching videos of the impossible I saw the Seattle Ring Hunter finding lost rings in vehicles and I almost cried because he was so far away....until I came across theringfinders.com!!! I entered my zip code and found Brian Rudolph, The Ring Hero! Brian responded immediately and explained the process. He worked with my difficult work schedule , met me at my job and even continued the search when I had to leave him to begin work! I held my breath when my phone rang and it was

Brian almost 2 hours after the beginning of the search. He exclaimed he had retrieved my precious ring !! He saved me thousands of dollars and never gave up searching when things became difficult as if it were his own sentimental piece of jewelry !!! Brian Rudolph is truly my Ring Hero!!!"

He has high grade professional equipment and is very methodical. He set up a physical grid and painstakingly searched every square inch of the park for multiple hours to find my ring.

We were swimming at Tokerau this afternoon when my daughters gold bangle came off in the ocean. It’s a sentimental piece that she got for her First Christmas last year and I was so upset .

My partner Scott was quick to call Pete and he was on his way !!

I had marked a spot on the bank of where we had walked down from and off he went.

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2023)

My name is Hannah and I am from Anchorage, Alaska. My family and I came to Ko Olina for a family Christmas vacation. We were all enjoying the beach today playing in the sand, snorkeling, and playing water ball games, when I looked down and realized my ring was missing. My grandmother gave me this ring and it had been passed down from her grandmother before her, so it is very special to me. We had been looking for hours, and finally my boyfriend, who is in Alaska still, called the Ko Olina front desk, who recommended we called Joe to come help. It had already been missing for around 4 hours when we called him and he showed up so quickly. After giving him a giant box to search for in the dry sand, Joe found it two hours later not even on the beach it was buried in the ocean! I am so grateful for him and his kindness to help a stranger in need. There was no way we would have been able to find it without him and I am so thankful for that!

Lost something valuable? Do not hesistant to call or text Rich!

testimonial for Rich Hageney (2023)

Lost something valuable? Do not hesistant to call or text Rich! I reached out to him being distraught with losing my diamond engagement ring while bagging and raking leaves. He immediately calmed me down and was confident that we were going to find my ring. He was able to come out the next day to start our search. As soon as he arrived we started our search. He had wonderful ideas and was determined we would find it. I couldn’t thank him enough and highly recommend!!! – Liana

I would definitely recommend you. Thanks for what you Do. You are the best.

testimonial for John Favano (2023)

The Ring Finder is awesome. He found my friends nephew’s hearing aid. He is a great guy and didn’t give up the search until he found it. Keep up the good work - you are wonderful for doing what you do. I would definitely recommend you. Thanks for what you Do. You are the best.

If you’re looking for a lost treasure please don’t hesitate to call Mike or the Ring Finders organization, they are angels in disguise.

testimonial for Michael Limberg (2023)

First I cannot thank Mike or the Ring Finders organization enough. What he didn’t say was that I was in a mild state of panic. This ring represents 45 year of marriage, and is a symbol of so many memories we’ve built over the years. For sentimentality alone it’s priceless and irreplaceable. That being said, I really need to expand on what Mike and other Ring Finders are about. I asked the fee for the service, the reply was “I don’t charge. I get pleasure by returning lost and precious items to people”. In today’s world this selfishness is practically unheard of. They do accept “whatever you feel you’d like to offer, but there is never a fee”. With the holiday close I thought I’d be lucky to get anyone to help before winter. He was at our home in a matter of hours and drove 50 miles to get here! Then calmly assured me if I was confident of where I lost my ring he was confident he’d find it. 40 minutes later he brought it back to me, hugged my while I cried and then spent some time with us telling stories of other finds. We have a new friend, and look forward to seeing him again.

If you’re looking for a lost treasure please don’t hesitate to call Mike or the Ring Finders organization, they are angels in disguise.

He can literally find a ring in an acre of haystack!! Very nice guy, extremely professional. Cannot say enough!

testimonial for Shawn Sherrill (2023)

I cannot thank you enough for finding my ring! Our back yard is 1 acre of pine straw making it with a rock creek and bridge and some intricate decking. I was installing the yard lights I had ordered and after walking all around the yard I went back inside and my ring was gone. We got cheap metal detectors and spent 10 hours one day and 14 the next with no luck. Found this web site and my hopes weren’t high. But 10 seconds later he held out my ring. Unbelievable!! My husband and had looked in that spot about 20 times each. He can literally find a ring in an acre of haystack!! Very nice guy, extremely professional. Cannot say enough!

We are so beyond grateful to Curtis for helping us find this ring.

testimonial for Curtis Cox (2023)

We are so beyond grateful to Curtis for helping us find this ring. We have so much emotional attachment to it and were about to lose hope that we’d find it but Curtis was able to find it under a massive bed of wood chips. It was amazing and one of the best feelings ever. Curtis is so kind and helpful. He told us if the ring was at the playground then he would find it, and sure enough he did! Couldn’t recommend him more.

I would definitely recommend Ron if you ever lose a ring...

testimonial for Ron Forster (2023)

I lost my ring while digging a new garden. I dug all the new plants I planted back up and still couldn't find my ring. I borrowed a metal detector from my neighbour and still didn't find my ring. I thought it was a lost cause but called Ron as a last ditch effort. He got back to me right away, arrived the next day and within 15 min. of showing up to my door, the ring was in my hands! And, he was friendly and polite on top of it all. I would definitely recommend Ron if you ever lose a ring. I should have called him earlier. I'm so grateful. Thanks again Ron.

Gabe saved our vacation and he's a wonderful human being!

testimonial for Gabe Valencia (2023)

Minutes after I popped the question, we got up to leave from a sand dune in the dead of night and my fiancée's one of a kind ring slipped off her finger. There was no way we could find it and after calling the hotel and the non emergency police line, we texted Gabe on the off chance he could help. Not only did he help, but he graciously drove to Seaside where we were around midnight and found our ring within 15 minutes even after we had dug around in the sand hopelessly while crying. I cannot overstate how grateful I am to him, Gabe saved our vacation and he's a wonderful human being! - Leah and Tabbie

I’m telling all my friends about him!

testimonial for Norm Peters (2023)

I am sooooo happy to have recovered my rings. I wouldn’t have if I hadn’t called Norm and asked him to look for them with his metal detector. A friend reminded me that my car might be sold or scrapped soon, since I have approximately 400,000 kms on it. The rings would have gone with it. So grateful I called Norm. What a nice and interesting man; so many metal-detecting stories. And I called him Friday morning and he came over that afternoon. I’m telling all my friends about him!

Thank you so much Mark!!! My husband was very upset losing his ring. But glad you found it!! Can’t wait to surprise him. I truly appreciate it. It means a lot. Take care!

He gave me hope!!!

testimonial for Casey Davis (2023)

WOW! I was overwhelmed with happiness when I saw Casey holding the ring in his hand! When I contacted Casey, I was unsure if we were going to find the ring. In fact, I gave him the option to say no, but he was up for the challenge. He gave me hope!!! We both climbed into the attic, walked to the location where the ring could be and Casey went to work. He grabbed handfuls of insulation and used his pointer to scan each handful then placed it in a bag. After about 15-20 minutes of rummaging through endless amounts of insulation with his pointer, Casey found the ring. Impressive!! I hope this never happens again, but if it does, I will definitely call Casey!!!

I'm so glad I trusted you in finding my ring ...

I'm so glad I trusted you in finding my ring without me being there AND waiting for me at the location to pick it up. A special thank you as well to all the Ring Finders who guided me in your direction.

With heartfelt thanks,

Saedah

testimonial for Scott Foss (2023)

Once I realized that our garden was too filled with bark and loose dirt to find the ring, I did an online search and found Scott’s name and phone, He promptly called me back and we scheduled a time for him to do his magic. And a kind of magic it is! My ring is a very special heirloom and I was stricken to find it off my finger. Scott did a masterful job of recovering it, and on top of that is caring, compassionate, highly skilled and just a great guy. Thank you so much, Scott.

Thank you so much mr joe you really made our weekend end on a great note and lifted so much guilt on my part.

My son lost his necklace while playing football at school and was extremely upset when he discovered that it was missing. My son and I searched for it but couldn't find it. We went on the internet and Ron Forster's name appeared under metal detecting and we then searched for Ron on The Ring Finders site and called him on Monday at 5:50 pm. and we met at the football field at 6:30pm. At 7:00pm I was very moved when Ron found and brought my Son's necklace to me and place it in my hand. My Son is so relieved his necklace was found. Thank you Ron for your quick response and the kindness you showed.

John is a miracle worker...

testimonial for John Favano (2023)

I lost my 1962 heirloom wedding ring in the sand while surfing in Wildwood. I had to catch the ferry back to DE and had to leave. I didn’t know what to do, then I got recommended to John by a Facebook group. He was amazing from start to finish. I gave him a rough area of where the ring may be. He worked his magic and round it in hours.

This ring means so much to my family and I, John is a miracle worker in the flesh! Can't express how cool of a person and thing he does to help people that are in need.

Thanks again from the Turners.

If you’ve lost something and need help, I’d highly recommend Jonathan...

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2023)

Jonathan came and helped us in our hour of need. We’d lost our engagement ring in our yard and after the hours searching through the long grass we turned to desperation. A friend referred us to Jonathan and after reaching out he came the next day. He was responsive and understanding. He found our ring literally within an hour. If you’ve lost something and need help, I’d highly recommend Jonathan. We’re forever grateful. Thank you for finding the symbol of our engagement!!

Best,

Derek

Absolutely fantastic service from Chris!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2023)

Absolutely fantastic service from Chris!

I'll start by saying I had lost hope of finding my wedding ring. It had flown off my finger while we were swimming on a fine Saturday at Alouette Lake, and I figured there was no way I could find it. I returned home, distraught, and broke the news to my wife of just 5 months. Needless to say, I was in the dog house! Until my friend called me up saying he had reached out to TheRingFinders. My initial thought was ok, just send me the details I'll think about it. But, after seeing all the YouTube videos and stories of success, I suddenly felt the flicker of hope. I called Chris up, and he was more eager than me to get out there and find my ring! So we met him at the lake on Monday. After an hour of great conversation and Chris wading through cold water with a smile on his face, the ring appeared! Thankfully, I'm out of the dog house now and it just means so much as this ring is unique in its origin and story having traveled thousands of miles for our wedding. I could not recommend

TheRingFinders more and if they provided any other services I would recommend them for that too. Simply amazing.

Thank you, Brendan (and sons!) for your help locating this precious family jewelry...

I couldn’t recommend a better ring finder because he is the best! Thank you again John!

My husband lost his wedding ring swimming in the lake in Poland, Maine. We tried to find it ourselves but quickly realized we needed professional help.

So grateful for Stephane for going and making the effort to find my wedding band even after a week had gone by. I honestly didn’t think I’d get it back after losing it that day. I’m still amazed at how it was found and how quick Stephane was in having it returned to me. Life is indeed good. It was nothing short of a miracle for Amir and I! Thanks again!

You captured this experience perfectly!

There are no words. We honestly thought there was no way we would ever get this ring back. I cant thank Jim enough, we went from tears of sadness to disbelief to absolute joy!! All thanks to Jim, the ring finder.

Let’s see what finding that ring meant to my family…. everything. Memories of a lifetime. From my parents dating and living the “easy” life to a marriage of 42 years! From the fights to the hugs, from the late nights out to the late nights up with kids. It’s a symbol of strength and promise. A promise that your life will not go unseen because I’ll be by your side through it all. So, to some it may be a ring, but it is so much more of family life wrapped in that ring.”

Kadie

On top of being incredibly kind throughout the process, he is also very skilled and instinctive which makes him a master at what he does.

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2023)

I texted Brendon one Sunday evening, after a failed day long search of my engagement ring. He called me back within 30 mins and planned to make his visit on Tuesday afternoon. He was our last hope as we already scoured the entire front yards of these two houses (or so we thought). The only place we couldn’t search through was a massive and dense juniper bush, so I told Brendon to focus on that first.

Brendon was kind enough to drive by the site on Monday, and I told him the direction it could have possibly went. Finally he arrived to do the job on Tuesday, and I had knots in my stomach the whole time. He gave me an update to say that he wasn’t sure it was in the juniper bush, but we would keep looking around in other areas. Finally, I got the call I was waiting to hear. My ring was hidden on the base of a different bush, with flowers that almost exactly matched the colors of my sapphire! He told me afterwards that he was sorry he couldn’t get to see the look on my face after making the recovery, but I hope my voice bursting into tears was enough.

Before this incident, I had no idea such services existed and I’m just so grateful that I called Brendon. On top of being incredibly kind throughout the process, he is also very skilled and instinctive which makes him a master at what he does. This experience was a tough one, but I’m happy that people like Brendon help make the lesson learned a lot less painful.

Brian is outstanding gentlemen who goes above and beyond to find your ring!

testimonial for Brian Tucholke (2023)

What can you say about Brian the Ring Finder? He saved the day for me! It felt like my world sank when my wedding ring slipped off my finger. I’m Old Silver Beach in the middle of the water over waist deep. I was sure there would be one way to find it, that was when I found Brian at Ring Finder Falmouth. Brian gave me confidence we would find the ring the moment I heard of him. When I heard his voice, I was confident he had been doing this for a long time. simply, for the love of the joy he sees people get when they get there ring back! Brian is outstanding gentlemen who goes above and beyond to find your ring!

So thank you so so much again you have no idea how we appreciate your time and dedication of helping people I want to thank this man Dennis Boothby.

testimonial for Dennis Boothby (2023)

I would like to thank you so very much. The day the ring was lost I never seen two sad people as sad as they were. We looked and looked and we were ready to leave for the day. And as I was talking to people they were talking about people that metal detect in the morning on the beach. So as I was talking to Brandon I said we will wake up early in the morning and we will go down to the beach in hopes of finding someone that did metal detecting. As we were walking along the beach searching figured it would be way under the Sand by then. As we were ready to call it quits we saw a man with a metal detector walking. I had approached the man and was talking to him about it and I called Brandon over and he described it to the gentleman. I have never seen anyone so eager to help someone in need. As we were back at our Airbnb just talking with everybody he gets a phone call from Dennis. And then he sends a picture of the Ring to Brandon. I’ve never seen faces light up like Brandon and Larissa’s after they got back to show the ring to us their luck and smiles were priceless. I just want to thank you!! You made a day so special for them. So thank you so so much again you have no idea how we appreciate your time and dedication of helping people

I want to thank this man Dennis Boothby.

After looking and looking the day before and getting up early to go look for this ring. Honestly I didn’t think there was hope. After talking the day before to people they said there are people that metal detect the shore in the early hours. Brandon and I (his father) got up early in hopes of finding someone that metal detects. We were not seeing anyone detecting. We were about to call it quits. Along comes a man metal detector. So I had approached him to talk to him. I don’t think I have seen the willingness of anybody that was eager to help. I just want to say from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! To see them be so down on a vacation, and when Brandon got the call the look on his face and Larissa’s faces when they came back was priceless. I know it made my day. And again thank you so much!!

One of our friends had sent us a website called the https://theringfinders.com. That’s where I contacted Dave.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2023)

“Ben and I had a much needed weekend getaway! The main reason for our weekend trip though was to get my wedding rings back. About a month ago, we went to the beach with our family and friends. While I was in the ocean throwing the football with Ben, the football hit my left hand and my engagement ring and wedding band went flying through the air into the ocean. We looked for it forever. We had even random people from the beach trying to help us find it, but no luck. I had seen where someone with an underwater metal detector had found someone’s engagement ring in the water so I went back to where I had lost it and saved my coordinates hoping I could find someone with an underwater metal detector. One of our friends had sent us a website called the https://theringfinders.com. That’s where I contacted Dave. He went out there 4 days after I had lost my rings and didn’t find just one ring, but both! I was so excited and Ben was in disbelief because he said there wasn’t anyway that guy was going to be able to find it ????. So if you are ever in my situation, save your coordinates and contact Pensacola Ring Finders

What a terrific organization. Who knew...

testimonial for Dennis Burlingame (2023)

I heard this story last night. What a terrific organization. Who knew. I’ve been coming to the Jersey shore for over 60 years and had no idea about these do gooders. Apparently, unbeknownst to the 17 year old badge checker as well who wouldn’t let him on the beach. Thanks to the police officer who suggested she look you up. Otherwise, it may have been lost for ever.

Jim, I’m convinced you’re an angel on earth. Thank you for dedicating your life to improving the lives of others!!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2023)

When I googled “ring finder Carolina Beach” in desperation, I was sure my search would be a waste of time, especially after buying my own metal detector and scavenging the beach myself at 4 AM. Jim showed up, and I just had a feeling. With blue eyes and a smile that could rival Paul Newman’s, he promised me his afternoon but was hopeful it wouldn’t take that long. Turns out, he was right. Both wedding rings were back on my finger within 20 minutes. I’m sure my other ring wasn’t pure gold because I know he would’ve found it.

Jim, I’m convinced you’re an angel on earth. Thank you for dedicating your life to improving the lives of others!!

legendary “Ringfinder Jim”!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2023)

Thanks so much Jim. You should know that all the guys at the bachelor party are now referring to you as the legendary “Ringfinder Jim”! Couldn’t be more grateful for your help.

Steve is a literal angel on earth...

testimonial for Steven Andrews (2023)

Steve is a literal angel on earth.

This is Ali, Mark’s wife, and Steve isn’t kidding when he says we were grateful for his help (really, that’s a wild understatement!). I found the Ring Finder site on a whim after running some google searches for what to do if you lost a ring. Steve works in the Virginia Beach area so I texted him having zero expectations (and mild skepticism over this process!). Steve texted me back right away and we had a call to talk through what happened, and he came up first thing the next morning to help. Meeting Steve you can see that he’s genuine and truly there to help (seriously), which put us right at ease. Steve was out in the ocean for over two hours with us, never giving up (even when we were losing hope!). We were in shock when he actually found it! The ring is so important to us; it felt like a miracle.

Steve is kind, hard working, and gifted with the detector. We truly couldn’t be more grateful to him. If you’ve lost something metal in the ocean in Virginia Beach area (and it’s reasonably close to shore), don’t hesitate to contact Steve. He’s a hero.

Thank you so much Luke, you are our hero...

testimonial for Luke Schlining (2023)

Thank you so much Luke, you are our hero, you are good kind soul, words can’t express our appreciation. You helped us to retrieve something so special to our lives and our family.

If you have lost something, I cannot recommend John enough! While he found my ring in a short time, the fact that he was prepared to go back and look several times if he hadn't been successful told me a lot about his character...

testimonial for John Favano (2023)

My wife and I had an amazing wedding, every aspect of it was storybook. The day after the wedding we were at Ocean City with family and friends and no sooner than I came out of the water I noticed my ring had come off. Everyone's wedding band is special but this one was my late father's. Not only that, but my mom had made it for him. It's a one of a kind and means a lot to my family and me, we were all devastated that it had been lost.

As soon as we left the beach and I had internet service, I did a Google search and Ring Finders of South Jersey was at the top of the list. It was late Friday evening but I noticed they were open 24 hours a day so I took a chance and called. John answered, we talked and came up with a plan to meet the next day at low tide. I wasn't confident that John would find it but I was hopeful after talking with him and that definitely made it easier to sleep that night.

We met up on Saturday morning, reviewed events of the previous day, and identified the general area where I most likely was when I lost the ring. At that point he went to work with his equipment. He said to me before he started, "don't get excited if you see me digging". Within 10-15 minutes of searching, he had located something in the wash area and started digging. After the 2nd scoop, he started to walk my way and asked if I could describe the ring. I was overwhelmed, he had found it.

If you have lost something, I cannot recommend John enough! While he found my ring in a short time, the fact that he was prepared to go back and look several times if he hadn't been successful told me a lot about his character and that he cares about helping people. Thank you, John and God Bless!!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding her wedding band and for searching tirelessly for her engagement ring!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2023)

Jim, there are no words to express our gratitude to you and your friends for trying so hard to find her engagement ring. You don’t know us that well, yet you worked like we were your own family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding her wedding band and for searching tirelessly for her engagement ring!

Even though it wasn’t the best circumstances, meeting you was a highlight on our trip and we will never forget you!

My sister Judy googled and @james wren with RINGFINDERS.com

testimonial for Jim Wren (2023)

Today I was playing in the shallow water with Jojo. I reached down to splash and watched my ring slip off my finger and into the ocean. I tried to find but it was lost, gone.

When my son got to the water he put his goggles on and looked. I fought tears. The emerald was my grandmothers ring. It was gifted to her when she cared for my Godparents after they were in a terrible accident. It went to my mom when my grandmother passed. When mom passed we were going through her jewelry box and found it.

Sometimes when our loved ones pass in our grief trying to hold on to memories arguments happen about who should have what. Not my sybs. The ring was to go my sister Jeanne. She said no you should have it.

I treasured the ring but could not wear it for years because it was loose in the setting.

Recently I was able to have it reset in a gorgeous spoon ring.

Then today it was gone

I had to remind myself it was just a thing.

My sister Judy googled and @james wren with RINGFINDERS.com showed up.

He looked and couldn’t find but he didn’t give up even when a wave almost rocked him off his feet.

He came back at low tide and tried again. Jake Mcmasters sat with me at the beach til about 6:15.

I headed home and Jim continued to look, I had dampened hopes.

I prayed. I remembered he cares about my green beans and my ring

Made dinner, took shower, and then glanced at my phone and read

BOOM

I’m glad he got in touch with you!

testimonial for Richard Browne (2023)

Thank you so much for helping my husband! He was so happy to get his ring back. I’m glad he got in touch with you!

Dave felt like an angel to me...

testimonial for Dave Boyer (2023)

Dave felt like an angel to me. It is a very special ring to me. Though had been married for 5 years but my husband got me this ring when we were still dating 8 years back. Felt real sad losing it. I searched for the ring for like 2 hrs in the marked area again and again and had almost lost hope when we got the idea of taking help from a ring finder(This is the first time for us and we had no clue that they are real). I was in disbelief till he found my ring. So much happy. He saved me from a ruined vacation. Thanks a ton Dave.

Luke is one heck of a ring finder!

testimonial for Luke Schlining (2023)

Luke is one heck of a ring finder! He showed kindness, patience, understanding, and unrelenting perseverance! He loves reuniting people with their treasured items and has a knack for it. 5/5 stars to this small town hero!!

Glad we found you, and it felt like a miracle to have the ring back...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2023)

Thanks again for finding our ring, Jim! I’m a sentimental guy, so the ring meant a lot to me. I spent two days constantly peering into the sand every time we went to the beach. I’d given up hope that it would be found.

Glad we found you, and it felt like a miracle to have the ring back on my hand again!

God is Good!

testimonial for Eric Cowen (2023)

What a day! After almost 6 weeks lost, Eric and his wife found my wedding band at Lake Lanier. What I liked the most was his professionalism and his knowledge. From the get go he said, we will find it. Within a hour of searching he did, shinier than ever. God is Good!

He had a process and got the job done flawlessly!

testimonial for Leighton Harrington (2023)

Sent a text Leighton at 8 am, he called me within 30 minutes and was there at low tide at 12:30pm same day. He had a process and got the job done flawlessly! L

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will forever be grateful!

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2023)

“ Dave and Tom both are true blessings! I still feel like this isn't even reality. I knew nothing about the ring finders however desperately put in the Google search bar "people who find lost jewelry in the ocean Gulf Shores Al", as a result I find Pensacola ring finders! Tom answered first as Dave was on a search at that time but not far from me in Orange Beach believe it or not! Tom had such a calming chat with me and his wife even spoke up in the background to assure I would be taken care of. My heart was shattered as I knew there would be a slim chance in seeing it again but something in Tom's voice truly helped ease things. Dave later called back and he also had the same calmness and confidence in his voice, might I add that NEVER faded even when the search was coming to an end, it was truly amazing! I can't begin to put into words how blessed I am to have my husband who while I was panicking immediately found land markers, friends with us that helped us search for hours before hand, then Dave who rescued the situation when I thought the ring was now with the ocean forever! This ring could not have been replaced as it was my original wedding ring with our 10 year anniversary wrap on it, not with the sentimental value anyway. I have only really ever taken my ring off to have it cleaned and inspected. Lesson definitely learned as I am one lucky and blessed woman to still have it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will forever be grateful! (Please disregard how I look, I had been crying and worried all day but beyond happy to have a chance to take a pic regardless!)”

Jason and Jeni are heroes...

testimonial for Jason Scanlan (2023)

Where do we begin to thank them enough! ???? Our family and friends have said Jason and Jeni are heroes. They really are, with the dedication and commitment to EMS and firefighting, first and foremost. My husband and I just happened to be super lucky, they even have time for a hobby as well! They are obviously genuine ,honest people who care for others in so many facets. They took their time and weekend to help us when they could be doing anything else. When they said they were heading back out to look for our ring the next day, my husband and I knew they really would! I had a great visit with Jeni and got to hear about their son Jordan, and how proud they are of him! Our 2 kids have the same birthday, and I learned, this was Jeni’s birthday too! We will forever be grateful for the people they are . They give so freely of their time to community or strangers in need of help. It is truly amazing after 22 days of our ring in the water, their partnership and thinking came through. We are so blessed to have met them and we hope for many more success stories!

Mike was a life saver!

testimonial for Michael Limberg (2023)

Mike was a life saver! He was easy to work with and I know was almost as excited as I was that he was able to find it and reunite me with my ring. I had lost all hope after searching the area a few times. His expertise and commitment were what was needed. I am forever grateful.

We are absolutely amazed you found it ...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2023)

Wow, Jim and Lisa! We hoped for the best during our search last night, but thought there’d be a slim chance of finding the ring since it was lost in the ocean.

testimonial for Robert Lyman (2023)

I am SO SO thankful and grateful I was able to find Rob to help locate my ring. I will forever recommend him to anyone needing help locating a lost item. I could not be happier! You are amazing!

We cannot thank him enough...

testimonial for Matthew Fry (2023)

While we were at the beach, we contacted ring finders near garden city. One did not respond, one came out same day but had no luck. By chance, I posted in a Carolina’s seasheller group on Facebook, where I was referred to Jim Wren. Jim referred me to Matt, who called me within 5 minutes of my call with Jim and was out looking within the hour. A gut feeling told me to send a photo of the general area we were sitting and where my husband may have lost his ring. Jim sent me a photo of my husband’s ring shortly after. We cannot thank him enough for the good news!

I would recommend Norm to anyone and everyone!

testimonial for Norm Peters (2023)

I couldn’t be happier with Norm and his services! We looked for 2 days and even bought a metal detector to try and find my ring. Thankfully my husband found Norm online and gave him a call. He immediately headed out to help us. Norm managed to find my ring in less than 2 hours! I would recommend Norm to anyone and everyone!

Calling you was the best decision I could have made!

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2023)

I once again would like to thank you for finding my cross! It is a family heirloom that has been passed down through the generations. It was made in the 1830s and even blessed by the Pope! I was so worried when the chain broke and the cross fell into the lake. I tried searching for it and even borrowed a metal detector to no avail. Calling you was the best decision I could have made! You were quick to respond and come out to the lake. When you found the cross just off the dock I was so excited! I don’t know what I would’ve done without you. I would recommend anyone that needs something found to come to you. Thanks again and wish you all the best in your future treasure hunting!

Thanks,

Brandon Burlage

testimonial for Don Marshall (2023)

Gail here.

I can’t thank Don enough. This was my great-grandmother’s band and had only been on my hand 24 hours since my grandmother had passed away. I was sick with the thought of losing it so soon.

Don’s equipment is much more sophisticated than anything I would have purchased and I learned there’s quite the knack to interpreting the readings and sounds. Calling in the professional was definitely the way to go!

I came across TheRingFinders and found Mark...

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2023)

It was a pleasure to meet Mark and his wife Denise.

The morning after I found out I lost 1 of 2 rings that I hid in that pocket, I did a search online hoping someone had found it and posted it online. I came across TheRingFinders and found Mark . I immediately called and in the afternoon Mark had already found the ring.

Thank you Mark, for your prompt response! I don’t hope to lose a valuable item soon but at least I’ll find comfort that it can definitely be found by amazing people like you!

I was so happy I found Ed. I first rented a metal detector ourselves and still could not find it...

testimonial for Edward Trapper (2023)

I was so happy I found Ed. I first rented a metal detector ourselves and still could not find it. Three of us were searching in the grass with this ring for hours. I did not want to give up and decided to go online and search to rent a better metal detector and came across New Jersey Ring Finder. I placed a call and Ed was ready to come out within the hour. He searched for about 45 minutes and came up short and then finally we decided to search the area where we did not think it was and YAY. He found it.

today you gave someone hope, and a piece of their heart and soul back

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2023)

Thank you so much for finding my ring. I’m in tears again reading this. You have no idea what you did for my family and I. We will forever be grateful. On the outside it may seem that you just “find rings”…….. but today you gave someone hope, and a piece of their heart and soul back

Thank God for Ed!

testimonial for Edward Trapper (2023)

I am so grateful to Ed Trapper from Ring Finders. My husband bought our son a caduceus ring for his graduation from medical school. My husband recently died so losing this ring in over 5 feet of ocean water crushed both my son and I. Thank God for Ed! He went into the ocean hours later and retrieved the ring. Ed brought back happiness to our family. XOXO

We are so thankful for Mike!

John is a true savior. I had completely given up hope of finding my engagement ring that flew off my finger into the sand at a beach bar and John was nothing short of an absolute hero. He was extremely patient and kind and refused to give up. He came to meet us at the bar at 1AM and found my ring just before closing. I can not express my gratitude enough and recommend him to anyone!

Louis was incredible!

testimonial for Louis Vasquez (2023)

Louis was incredible! We messaged and within a short time Louis replied saying when to meet! We couldn’t believe it when Louis found it!!!! What an incredible thing. Thank you thank you!!

the real lesson is to cherish the things that matter to us and to be thankful for people like Brendon!

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2023)

Where do I begin…I am the grateful fellow pictured above.

New to the Bay Area, my wife and I dove in with both feet (literally) into everything SF, hoping to soak up as much of the city and the experience of living in California as we could, having moved from Canada where temperatures are decidedly colder and swimming in the ocean is not a year round possibility.

It was one such jaunt that led me to calling Brendon. I had taken two strokes in the water when I felt the otherwise tight ring slip off my finger and devastation came over me. My wife and I looked down in the murky water with horror knowing what had happened while I stayed firmly planted so as to not lose my place. Friends and strangers came to our aid, shuffling their feet in the sand, hoping to touch it with their toes but nothing came of it.

I took a shower shortly after as I had begun to feel hypothermic after ~40 minutes of searching, all the while staring down at the indent on my finger where the ring had been only an hour prior. My dad’s ring. Only one week removed from celebrating our first anniversary. Devastated.

In a last ditch effort, I called a “RingFinder” who referred me to Brendon. When he answered, immediately his quiet confidence gave me hope. Less than an hour later he was there with his equipment, telling me he would forgo his wetsuit to “save time” as we were quickly losing light.

He spent a cold 30 minutes in the water until he was successful. I will never forget him or be able to thank him enough. I know he is an amazing person by the few moments I shared with him and I will tell the story for the rest of my life.

I told Brendon that I learned my lesson through all of this — that I can be as reckless as I want with the ring, knowing he will always be able to find it for me, but, of course, the real lesson is to cherish the things that matter to us and to be thankful for people like Brendon!

Jim Wren is amazing...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2023)

Jim Wren is amazing. When I called Jim on his cell phone, he said he would be at our condo in 15 minutes. He was there in about 12 minutes. He told me on the phone that finding my granddaughter’s lost heirloom ring would be a “piece of cake”. It was. It took Jim less than 2 minutes to find it.

You know Jim is special when he gives 10% of his gratuities to the “Saint Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Thank you, Jim, for what you did.

Oh Jim, you’ll never comprehend how grateful we all are for your perseverance!!!

Oh Jim, you’ll never comprehend how grateful we all are for your perseverance!!! Especially Tom and Cristina, aka Cris.

Keep doing what you’re doing!! You were meant for helping others find their lost treasures!!! You need to thank your wife for buying you that Christmas gift 5 years ago!! Brunswick County Beach peeps: Jim is your guy for finding what you think you have lost forever…. He will NOT give up!!!

Forever grateful, Jill, Steve, Tom and Cristina

You were absolutely amazing!! We are so thankful we found you and you were able to come so quickly! We were feeling hopeless until you showed up.

Jim is absolutely the best guy for this kind of job, not to mention how kind he is and had made us feel like we’d known him for years. It was so nice to meet you Jim, I wish it was possible to express how grateful we are! Thank you so much for saving the day!

I highly recommend you and the RingFinders to anyone else in a similar situation.

testimonial for Robert Lyman (2023)

My amazing wife Kim had lost her wedding ring several days ago, doing 8-10 hours of weeding and various yardwork at our place. Anyone who has been to our place knows what kind of an area she might have covered in that amount of time. Acres.

Thank you both so, so much Rob and Nelson for taking on the challenge. I truly believe you both have a gift from God for that to work out like it did. That was a one in a million chance for it to be found that fast. Unbelievable! Kim is so happy to have her ring back. It was very interesting visiting with you and learning a little about metal detecting. It looks like a lot of fun.

I highly recommend you and the RingFinders to anyone else in a similar situation.

I commend Dave and what he does and will be forever grateful of this experience ????????

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2023)

“I lost my dad’s wedding band that I had resized to fit my hand while swimming in the Gulf on Saturday. When I reached out to Dave, it was really just a last-ditch-effort to get a better night’s sleep after having such a soul crushing day.

For the sake of brevity— my family has this thing with dimes. We use them as a sign from our loved ones who have moved on from Earth that they are still here with us. This started when my grandfather passed in 2014 with a request from my grandma to “drop a dime” that he was okay. Dimes started appearing for my whole family. The stories continued over the years. My grandmother passed on 4/12/23 and she dropped dimes for my cousin and I within hours of her passing.

Now back to the main story: I received a response immediately and was blown away by the sincerity and attentiveness to the situation. We met the following morning at the spot I lost my ring. Nearly an hour and a half into searching, Dave alerted me he found something!! With slightly somber tone, he told me “Oh. It’s just a dime.” Every hair on my body stood up! I immediately said “Omg no way grandma” and within 60 seconds….. Dave pulled my ring from the Gulf. I simply have no words. To not only have such a sentimental piece back in my hands that I thought was gone forever, but just exactly how the story came to be. You can’t make this up. I commend Dave and what he does and will be forever grateful of this experience ????????

Words can not describe how grateful I am for Jim Wren from ring finders!!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2023)

Words can not describe how grateful I am for Jim Wren from ring finders!! This morning, I lost my engagement ring at Wrightsville Beach. When we finally noticed it was gone in the afternoon, we went back to look for it with no luck.

*Side note- Thank you to everyone who helped me look for my ring. I'm sorry I interrupted your beach time with me looking around and ugly crying, but I truly appreciate our care and concern.*

I then stumbled upon Jim's page on ringfinders.com and gave him a call. He drove an hour and a half just to help me. I thought we were going to be at the beach until sundown, but WITHIN 5 MINUTES, my ring was found!!! More crying was involved on my end.

This man not only loves what he does, but he went out of his way out of the goodness of his heart to help me find something that means so much to m

It started out as a beautiful Memorial Day morning...

testimonial for John Favano (2023)

It started out as a beautiful Memorial Day morning. The wind finally backed off and the waves were semi-clean and the water was warm. Just what the doctor ordered...

So I'm headed down to 11th street with the key wrapped in my NEON GREEN TOWEL. I put it as I always do where I can keep an eye on it while I'm in the water. I paddle out, catch a few fun ones, then I see the tractor headed toward my towel.. thinking to myself "this guy sees my NEON GREEN BEACH TOWEL right?" After a little while he was done and I could see my towel so I decided to head back grab a coffee. I walk up to my NEON GREEN BEACH TOWEL and ##$%#?? Key is gone. Cellphone locked in the car. St Anthony St Anthony please come around... no luck, so we wind up calling John..

Long story made short, he shows up with his equipment and gets to work..

After an hour or so he finally calls us tells us to come down to the beach. I'm thinking shlt, at least he tried.. I walk up, he has a bummed look on his face like 'I'm really sorry', then pulls the key out of his pocket.. Surprise! Great acting job John!

Your perseverance, honesty and skill really shine through..

we all screamed like little girls who won the lottery...

testimonial for Matthew Fry (2023)

What a relief!! I was apart of the girls trip & the one who called you late Sunday night. Lol. When we got the call on our way home that he found the ring, we all screamed like little girls who won the lottery. Thank you so much for taking the time. It’s very much appreciated.

I appreciate the timely response and help upon arrival...

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2023)

I was really starting to think I wouldn’t find my ring and am very grateful my friend came across this page. Things took an unexpected turn yesterday and I appreciate the timely response and help upon arrival. Thank you again for everything!

My advice – trust Dave. If he says he can find it, he can! I can’t thank you enough, Dave!!

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2023)

Dave is awesome! My husband lost his ring in the ocean while playing football with my brother in law. I was standing a few feet away and my heart DROPPED when my husband turned to me and said “I lost my wedding band.” My whole family spent the rest of the afternoon searching the water for the ring with no luck. My husband and I were devastated thinking we were never going to see his ring again. We’re both sentimental and hated the idea of having to replace it. My mom, wanting to help us, found Dave and his awesome reviews on the Navarre beach Facebook page and quickly messaged him asking if he could help. Dave was immediately willing to make the drive out to help us, but he was delayed by mine and my husband’s indecision. Despite Dave’s confidence, we didn’t think it was possible to find the ring in the water after so many hours. Finally, my mom and Dave managed to convince us to give it a try. He came out the next morning. After getting all the information on where we were and how we lost it, he told us we could start to be optimistic – but I still couldn’t let myself. I sat on the shore watching him go back and forth in the area, my heart racing, convincing myself there was no way he was going to find it. 15-20min later – he stopped, dug around, and looked over at us grinning. Sure enough – he had the ring! My advice – trust Dave. If he says he can find it, he can! I can’t thank you enough, Dave!!

Dave is an absolute professional, and I am incredibly blessed to have met these amazing people and watch Dave use his gift to help save Mother’s Day. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Dave and Jeanie!

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2023)

First and foremost, Dave and Jeanie are some of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. When I called about “Saving Mother’s Day,” Dave jumped and was ready to go by the morning. He was/is the perfect person for the job. I met Dave and Jeanie at the beach, and we were off to search the sand. The desperate plea of finding two rings buried in the sand quickly turned into an Indiana Jones-type adventure. We searched the sand for about an hour before finding the two rings! During that time, we discussed everything from their careers and family to 7-foot stingrays and nails from the 1800s. When he finally pulled the rings from the sand, there was nothing but smiles all around. As the post said, he made my Mom burst into tears and take a victory lap around the house. She was absolutely amazed. Those rings meant the world to her, and Dave and Jeanie made it their mission to get them back to their proper place.

They taught me so much, and I am eternally grateful. The little conversations and energy they held when searching for the rings meant the world to me, and they served to keep the mood light. Dave is an absolute professional, and I am incredibly blessed to have met these amazing people and watch Dave use his gift to help save Mother’s Day. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Dave and Jeanie! My mother and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did for us.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I didn’t know what to do when I lost my wedding band in the lake. So thankful for Jim. I called him and he was here super quick. He was even a good sport about having to get in the cold water to search under our pier at the lake. Didn’t take 30 seconds before he pulled the basket out of the water with my ring. Can’t say enough good things about Jim and the team of Ringfinders. They truly help you when you need to retrieve something priceless.

We cannot thank Michael enough for finding my husbands ring!

testimonial for Michael Limberg (2023)

We cannot thank Michael enough for finding my husbands ring! He was so responsive to my call, text messages and was willing to come back out and give it another look once the weather was nicer! Accidents happen, but after searching and searching on our own after Michael left after his first attempt we had lost hope of finding it…& then after less than an hour he found it! We are so so happy!

Thanks Don – my marriage is back on now.

testimonial for Don Marshall (2023)

Don was fantastic! Gets the lay of the land, and starts the search. Just after I begin to believe it might be lost, he rounds the corner with a smile. Right then I knew he found it! Turns out I wouldn’t have spotted it anyway, as it had fallen deeper into the lawn. Thanks Don – my marriage is back on now.

He did not leave any stone or avenue uncovered and went above and beyond in helping me search. He is extremely empathetic and I felt like he cared just as much as I did to help me find my rings which meant so much to me!

Dave – You are a lifesaver!

Dave – You are a lifesaver! I could not have imagined going back home without my wedding rings that I have had for over a decade! Thank you sooo much!!!

If anyone is in the Orange Beach area and loses a ring in the water, don’t waste time, just call Dave!

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2023)

Dave, hi. This is Josh Anderson, you found my ring in Orange Beach.

I just wanted to say how thankful I was for everything you did.

When I first noticed the ring was missing it was about midnight and I was sick about it. All I could think was that it had slipped off when I stuck my hand in the water trying to save the plastic cover that fell off the boat. I went down to the dock in case it had fallen on there and not in the water but to no avail. When my mother in law told me the following day that she had called a diver I was overjoyed.

I told my wife I felt like Isildur when the ring left him and sank to the bottom of the water. Luckily orcs weren’t shooting me with arrows.

This ring was very special. It had been my father’s wedding ring. I had to get it back.

The day came and Dave showed up with his gear. I gave him the rundown on what happened and where I suspected the ring to be. Dave explained everything he was about to do and assured me that I shouldn’t worry. If the ring fell in here he would find it. After a good bit of searching Dave came up with the ring on his finger! It was back!

Dave told me this was his 80th dive. I was born in 1980 so it seemed very fitting Dave’s 80th dive was a raging success.

If anyone is in the Orange Beach area and loses a ring in the water, don’t waste time, just call Dave!

Thank you so much man.

I don’t know what I would have done without his help! Thank you so much Ron!

WONDERFUL guy to work with and would definitely recommend him.

testimonial for Brian Carpenter (2023)

I have an AMAZING story about Brian and his metal detector business. I lost my keys yesterday and my friend and I looked ALL OVER for them.

Thank you,

Brendan, I cannot express my gratitude enough for your exceptional skills and tireless dedication to reuniting wayward rings with their rightful owners. You are the Sherlock Holmes of lost jewelry

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2023)

I must admit, when I first lost my wedding ring amidst the squelching mud and twisted roots of that treacherous hiking trail, I felt like Frodo Baggins on a journey to Mordor, except without the assurance of a happy ending. The look on my spouse’s face only confirmed the direness of my predicament.

But then, you emerged like a knight in shining armor, armed with your trusty metal detector, and I knew there was hope. You swooped into action, your detector beeping like R2-D2 on a mission, and the mud stood no chance against your extraordinary ring-finding prowess.

With unyielding determination, you waded through the muck, like an eager truffle pig, except instead of fungi, you sought out precious metal. And lo and behold, you unearthed my precious ring, transforming my tale of woe into a comedic triumph!

Brendan, I cannot express my gratitude enough for your exceptional skills and tireless dedication to reuniting wayward rings with their rightful owners. You are the Sherlock Holmes of lost jewelry, and I am forever indebted to your remarkable talents.

Please accept this testimonial as a small token of my appreciation. I will be singing your praises far and wide, spreading the legend of Brendan, the Ring Whisperer. May your metal detector never falter and may the rings you find forever sparkle in the sun.

Thanks Chris for the great service and coming out asap to help me find my ring. Awesome work and greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2023)

Thanks to Chris, I have my wedding ring back.

I was at hockey last night and lost my ring in the parking lot. I thought I had lost in and an ivy covered garden area, which was also under snow. A friend and I searched for a half hour in the dark and snow, but couldn’t find it. I went home discouraged, but then looked online and found Chris. I sent him a text and he responded right away. He said he would be out in the morning to find my ring for me. His confidence put my mind at ease.

It’s not a super expensive ring, but it was the ring that was part of our wedding ceremony, so for that reason it’s irreplaceable. After searching the area for a while, and digging out many beer cans and other trash, Chris found my ring in a different location than where I thought it was. I could have looked forever and I don’t think I would have found it. It had made its way to the road, and if left, could have been driven over or scraped up with a snow plow. Thanks Chris for the great service and coming out asap to help me find my ring. Awesome work and greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!!

Thanks again,

Colin

"Many thanks to THE RING FINDER’S Ring Hero, Brian Rudolph!

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2023)

"Many thanks to THE RING FINDER’S Ring Hero, Brian Rudolph! When filling up fifteen recycling yard waste bags with autumn leaves, I thought my wedding ring fell into one of them. Actually, I was certain of that fact. Rather than empty out each bag and visually search for the ring, I contacted Brian. He was thorough and methodological in searching each and every bag with three kinds of metal detectors. He also searched all of the areas I had been at during my leaf work. On the fifteenth bag, we got a definite hit, but upon emptying the bag we only found a piece of aluminum foil. Quite disappointing! Continuing with endless optimism, Brian rechecked all of the bags. Still, no ring. I had given up hope by that point and I began packing up my shovel and tarp. Meanwhile, Brian started running the detector over areas where I didn't even recall having been. Boy, was I shocked and surprised when he found my ring! I'll definitely be more careful in the future, but if by chance I lose it again, I know who to call to get someone as eager as I am to find my wedding ring!"

HE FOUND THE RING! My husband and I were in shock. Genuine joy filled my heart.

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2023)

"On a blustery day in November, I told my husband to give me his wedding band before he went to a medical appointment where he wasn’t allowed to wear jewelry. I said, “I won’t lose it.” Well…I lost it! I put it on my index finger for safe keeping, and with it being cold out, wouldn’t you know it, it just slipped right off somewhere in the hustle and bustle of dropping kids off at school. I scoured the places it might have been. My sister borrowed a metal detector from a friend and searched for hours. A whole class of kindergarteners were tasked to find the ring! Still, after a day of looking, no one could locate the ring under the piles of leaves covering the ground.

I got a tip about The Ring Finders on Facebook, and thankfully got in touch with Brian Rudolph. He was immediately on the case! I called him around dinner time, and he came out the next morning at 8 am to meet with me and go through the series of events. We traveled to few different locations to assess the details of the search, and then he set up his special equipment and got to work.

As the search went on, I started to lose hope. I eventually left to go back home and tend to my children, but Brian continued searching. At around 2 pm, he called me. By this point, I had already accepted that the ring was gone. Brian spoke with me about the details of his search and I nodded along ready to say “ok, well, thanks anyway!”

Then my doorbell rang. I was still on the phone with Brian, headed for the front door, when I heard him say the words, “…and that’s where I found your ring!” I looked out the front door and there was Brian, holding my husband’s wedding band out in front of him! HE FOUND THE RING! My husband and I were in shock. Genuine joy filled my heart.

From start to finish, Brian made this sad loss a fun experience. Finding the ring was icing on the cake. Even if he hadn’t found it, I had already told my family how much fun I’d had with Brian. He made the whole search feel like an exciting and optimistic treasure hunt, and I suppose the reason Brian is so successful at what he does is because he has such a passion for finding lost treasures and returning them to their rightful places."

Thank you Dave Cartee for finding my University of Alabama class ring. This is the second time I have called him to find the same ring.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2023)

Thank you Dave Cartee for finding my University of Alabama class ring. This is the second time I have called him to find the same ring. Both times I was putting down pine straw around shrubbery in my yard. Two years ago, Dave found this ring within 20 minutes. February of this year, he found it within 2 minutes. In both cases, the ring had been pressed into the ground beneath the pine straw. I am very happy that he was able to locate something that means a lot to me. Thank you, Dave!

Thank you again, Mike! We were indeed all quite disbelieving with the quick find. But we are all especially heartened to know there are people who do this kind of thing for others out of generosity and the joy they get from seeing other people happy and relieved. Thank you for your time (driving and meeting us) and lending your skill as a detectorist to me. I am so glad I stumbled upon ring-finders while searching for a rental. I’d maybe still be out there searching.

I am very grateful for his hard work in finding my ring...

It's really impossible to express our appreciation of you and Ring Finders. You are a wonderful resource for people and we thank you so much for your help!

testimonial for Marks Detecting (2023)

Hi Mark,

I apologize for the delay in following up to thank you but I wanted to take the time needed to convey our sincere appreciation for you and Ring Finders. Both my husband and I know that I would not have my diamond ring and wedding band back if it were not for you and Ring Finders!

2023 started out on such a sad note after our New Year's getaway. We left the motel trying to come to terms with the idea that, despite our lengthy search, we could not find the rings anywhere in the room. I was terribly sad to lose my wedding band, but the diamond ring that has my husband's grandmother's and great-grandmother's diamonds, is obviously a deeply sentimental piece and was irreplaceable.

I decided to google and see if there was a place online where people could post about lost jewelry in case they turned up somewhere and that is how I found Ring Finders. When I reached out to you, you were so kind and understanding. You took a significant amount of time to listen and ask me questions, paying close attention to all of the details. I was amazed that for the cost of gas, you would go to the motel with us to help us search and a reward for finding an item was optional.

Because of you, we went back to the hotel, and because of your detailed, careful approach to the search, we found the rings - which had gotten swept off the dresser into the bottom of the garbage. We had searched the garbage before we left the room, but they were hidden so we needed another search with fresh eyes.

It's really impossible to express our appreciation of you and Ring Finders. You are a wonderful resource for people and we thank you so much for your help!

Thank you again!

The whole experience in dealing with Brian was unbelievable and life changing for me...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2023)

"I cannot thank Brian Rudolph enough for the work he did in finding my wedding ring. The whole experience in dealing with Brian was unbelievable and life changing for me. His level of service and dedication are the best I have seen in any industry in my life. I did not even know this type of service existed until one day after I lost my ring. A lucky search on Google brought me to The Ring Finders site and then to Brian's contact information. I immediately contacted Brian and his service was professional , optimistic , empathetic and he gave me peace of mind that he could find the ring. Brian traveled through a storm at night and in traffic to meet me. We went to the beach where the ring was lost at night during a storm to go over the reference points. He waited until the morning in his vehicle for the storm to pass in order to begin the search and found my ring by the morning. The world needs more people like Brian Rudolph. If you lost something of value or importance it is a no brainer to contact Brian. I am sure glad I did."

Was doing some ridiculous acrobatics on the property this week and managed to lose my watch in the grass, after searching for three days and racking my brain, I decided to contact Pete to come by with his Metal detector and scour the property.

I wasn’t very hopeful, since all four of us had been heavily searching the area, after one hour pete told me to come for a walk with him, and low and behold!!!! Right there! In the grass! What a gem.

Can’t even put into words how happy I am, such quick, kind efficient service. Totally would recommend!

Brian is amazing and truly a blessing of a human being. Thank you so much!

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2023)

"I unfortunately lost my wedding ring in the Atlantic Ocean in Dewey Beach near Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Needless to say I was devastated. In nearly 16 years of marriage I have never taken it off other than for a couple of minutes to do something I feared may damage it.

Over the last several months I have lost a significant amount of weight (approximately 60 lbs) and therefore my fingers have shrunken some. Not realizing this, while holding my 4 year old daughter, it somehow slid off in the water. I was sick to my stomach and although I know it can be replaced, the sentimental value cannot. Trying to put on a happy face for my wife and two kids for the remainder of our vacation was not easy (we immediately packed the car up and headed back home to Philadelphia).

Three days passed and on Thursday my wife saw the recommendation to check out “The Ring Finders”. That is how we found Brian Rudolph. Brian was nothing short of amazing from the very first call my wife made.

He traveled several hours to meet my mother (we had returned home to Pennsylvania at this point) at the section of beach where we were that dreadful day. Despite severe weather conditions rolling through that day he was still determined to get the search started. Brian sectioned off a portion of the beach and began searching in the water. Shortly after, I received a FaceTime call from my mom’s phone.

They were calling from the beach to verify a few things. After asking me several questions about how far in the ocean I was and my location out there in the water that day, Brian asked me how much the ring meant to me. My reply was simple! EVERYTHING!

He then held it up in camera view and exclaimed “Well I found it!!!” I immediately burst into tears in disbelief. I could not believe Brian had found my ring that I thought for sure was gone forever after three days of being in the ocean.

I can’t thank Brian enough for his determination and kindness. While I sincerely hope no one “needs” to utilize his services, I assure you that if you do, you are receiving top notch service from someone who genuinely wants to help. Brian is amazing and truly a blessing of a human being. Thank you so much!"

I can’t put into words how thankful I am for contacting Brian at THE RING FINDERS...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2023)

"I can’t put into words how thankful I am for contacting Brian at THE RING FINDERS. The experience with him was bordering a miracle! We were in the midst of readying our home for showings and I had lost my four rings four days before. I kept thinking they’d turn up for a few days but when we looked around at our decluttered show-ready house it almost seemed hopeless. My husband went through our outdoor trash can (God bless him), scoured our cars, etc, etc. With the rings missing for nearly a week, Josh told me that he had put a call out to this ring finder guy. Brian spent well over an hour on the phone with me asking questions about my routine, where I’ve looked etc. I was searching as I was on the phone with him getting ideas for places, guided by the questions he was asking. He really got me thinking about the week prior. As we got off the phone at some point he told me that he hoped I would call him with “tears of joy” by the end of the week when we had decided that we would have him come out to look for the rings at our house, if they hadn’t been found by then. Brian never pushed the envelope trying to get the finders fee (so to speak); he is genuinely interested in helping you find your rings. Later that night I was able to do just as Brian hoped I would - I cried tears of JOY! I found my rings in a fleece jacket that I threw on going down the stairs while being late for daycare drop off. And since there are four rings and they take a few seconds to put on, I thought I’d save the time and do it while walking. I never got to meet Brian but he seems like an amazing person and the perfect kind of guy for this job. It was an incredibly emotional experience and I could feel his genuine want to help as well as the joy we all experienced over the phone once I found the rings! Thank you so much Brian!"

I texted him the day after I lost my ring and he called me right away and asked if I wanted him to come to my house that night! He drove almost 3 hours to find my ring in the dark and was very successful at finding it deep in the grass outside of my house. He is such a blessing to be able to help us after we started giving up hope. I truly believe this happened for a reason and will help to strengthen our relationship. Thank you so much, Brian! I definitely recommend this service for anyone who has lost their jewelry!"

We thank Brian again for giving us the experience of a lifetime in him finding (at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay, might I add) a ring that meant so much to us.

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

Brian was paramount to locating my two rings -- one of them a three-day-old engagement ring. He was highly communicative throughout the entire process, from understanding where the ring was to actually showing up on site and doing the work. Although I was devastated at the loss of my rings in the Chesapeake Bay, I was comforted by his stories and experience with very similar losses. He made time and prioritized finding our rings in what I can expect was an incredibly "busy" season for ring finders. I cannot recommend his services enough. The fact that he was so knowledgeable, not only about the location where it was lost, but also the tools utilized to retrieve the rings, makes me confident that he can find any ring, in any condition! Don't hesitate in calling Brian for any of your lost jewelry!

We thank Brian again for giving us the experience of a lifetime in him finding (at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay, might I add) a ring that meant so much to us. We are REALLY looked forward to seeing the YouTube video of our experience and we'll continue to follow his channel for updates -- we love his videos!"

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

"There was this inherited sadness that came along when I lost my wedding ring. It was a simple ring, but it signified so much to me and meant a lot to my wife. I tried hard looking for it without any success. Then desperation kicked in. I lost hope that I could find it. When someone suggested Brian Rudolph, a member of THE RING FINDERS directory, I was hesitant. Would he be able to find it? Is it worth it to go through the hustle? Well, I thought it wouldn't hurt to try. From my very first interaction with Brian I knew that something good was going to come out of it. Brian was very professional, sensitive, and encouraging. He didn't pressure me about anything, but allowed me to make decisions along the way. He also explained the process and he was very confident about his service. I started gaining confidence that he would find my ring. Brian's expertise and professionalism was very evident to my friend and co-worker who was there with me. The best part was finding my ring. When I lost the ring and thought I wasn't going to find it, I started to minimize its value. But when Brian found it, there was surreal joy. As a result, I discovered again the value and significance of my wedding ring! Brian thank you! You are my ring hero! Go "TheRingFinders"!"

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

It has taken me a little while to truely find the words to write this. I lost one of the most treasured items I own while doing my most treasured family traditions. I lost the ring my past Father gave me, that was also my wedding ring, while cutting down our family Christmas tree.

I noticed it was gone while we were walking back to our truck with our tree. It turned one of the best most magical days I'd had all year, into one of the saddest. I was absolutely devastated, as was my whole family for me. My husband borrowed a metal detector, and we went back and searched to no avail. I had lost a ring in an acre of trees in 5 inches of snow. I was hopeless. Chris from The Ring Finders was recommended to me by a stranger on a Facebook Lost and Found Page. On a whim I reached out. An hour after I send my text message, Chris contacted me. He was so friendly, sincere, and full of so much confidence that I had hope for the first time. He met my husband and myself at the Tree Farm the very next morning. He used his skills of interviewing to recreate and help me retrace my day. Then he got to work, and before I knew what was happening, he was handing me the ring I never thought I would see again! I am still absolutely amazed and forever greatful as I was sure it would have been impossible to find, without him. So one million times over Chris, Thank you. The work you do is truly the work of creating hope and happiness. I will be forever greatful to you.

incredible 10/10 experience regarding Jeff Morgan The Seattle Ring Hunter!!!

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2022)

I wanted to share my incredible 10/10 experience regarding Jeff Morgan The Seattle Ring Hunter!!! I recently lost 3 very expensive rings in my deep backyard (1 engagement ring, 1 wedding band, and 1 jewelry ring). These rings had deep sentimental importance and were also valued at over $160K. . . . . . I knew they were lost in the deep woods of my large 10 acre property that was very sloped and difficult to even get through. Jeff has tremendous experience and ingenuity in developing a very strategic system to map out the yard and locate the ring(s) using intense attention to detail and various metal-detection equipment. The first 2 days there was no luck, but on the 3rd day 2 rings were found, and on the 4th day the 3rd and final ring was also found!!! It was one of the happiest moments of our lives, and we can't thank Jeff enough for his persistence, professionalism, determination, and positivity throughout the process. He is definitely a "People Person" with a warm personality and awesome communication skills. It is obvious he takes great pride in his work, and literally he changes people's lives where many have lost all hope and are in a very bad place. We whole-heartedly recommend and endorse Jeff Morgan The Seattle Ring Hunter!!! He is the best.

testimonial for Sharon Nelson (2022)

Hi Sharon and Mike! It was such a great find and a great moment, this will be a story I will tell everyone forever. The ring was passed down from grandmother and to my mother after. My mother gave this ring to me for my wedding ring so I felt I have to one day pass it on to our family and you gave that chance again. You have brought so much back to me, my wife and my family. As soon as I saw my ring in your hands I knew it was it. We will always remember this moment and be grateful to you two! You have the best job in the world and hope you continue to make other people smile! Thank you from me and my wife and family.

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2022)

Joe!!! A much belated post and thank you again for finding my husband’s ring. We were just laying in bed and I caught his hand, to run my hand over his ring, which I’ve done thousands of times during our 12 years of marriage. We are so exceedingly grateful for your skill and grace in recovering Mike’s last tangible memory of his dad. You gave us both a sense of hope days before you recovered the ring, and you truly saved our vacation. A thousand thank yous is not enough! Hope you’re enjoying safe, happy, healthy holidays with your family.

Highly recommend Shane and TheRingFinders!

testimonial for Shane McNally (2022)

If you need metal detecting services, call Shane! True expert in his field. I lost my Apple iPhone 12 Pro while 4-wheeling in a wooded area. I was not sure where to begin to look for it, as I travelled quite a bit through the woods. Shane set up a time that was convenient and came onsite to perform the search. I showed him the area where I had riden and the boundaries of the property. I left Shane go to work. He found my phone on a 1-2 acre area within 1 and a half hours. I was truly impressed! The device itself didn't mean that much, however the data it held is priceless to me, and compensated him accordingly for recovering it. Highly recommend Shane and TheRingFinders!"

We are relieved and extremely grateful for Luke’s help. HIGHLY RECOMMENED.

hire a professional, don't be afraid to pay and support a genuine professional who truly loves reconnecting folks with their lost jewelry

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

"Brian Rudolph, a member of The Ring Finders is my Pendant Hero! I am still in shock, in awe and overflowing with joy! I initially spoke with Mr. Rudolph about 1.5 hours after misplacing my grandmom’s gold custom "E" pendant! He was kind, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, all the while managing my expectations that we were up for some serious hide-n-go-seek! Mr. Rudolph gave me very specific instructions about how to mark my location. He also advised that he would meet me at the 23rd block of Ocean City’s Boardwalk at 2:56am, and he did just that! We identified the sand location of the lost pendant, marked off the area with stakes and he used his top-notch equipment to diligently scan every foot of it! We covered 75% of the sand location and he prepared me for the possibility of Mr. Rudolph having to go into the water next to search the water location! Then...Bang! Boom! Beep Beep! He got a hit! Within 30 seconds of digging, the tears started flowing, as a man I never met before gave me his word that we would go the distance to find grandmom’s pendant! And Mr. Rudolph truly delivered on his word! This meant the world to me because I couldn't bear to have another part of my grandmom lost. She passed away in April 2020 from COVID, and she actually gave me the pendant at Thanksgiving 2019! We rejoiced together, prayed together and (of course) I cried! I could go on for days! But I'll end by saying, hire a professional, don't be afraid to pay and support a genuine professional who truly loves reconnecting folks with their lost jewelry (or whatever lost)!

Matthew is a great guy with genuine positive energy and an obvious knack for finding stuff with a metal detector.

testimonial for Matthew Harding (2022)

After looking high, low and everywhere in between for nearly a week in search of my wedding band, we came up empty handed. I was almost certain I’d lost it while my wife and I were bagging leaves in our front yard the previous Saturday.

A neighbor suggested that we rent a metal detector from the local tool rental, and so we did. No luck. Easier said than done. The last-ditch effort was a Google search for “detectorist in my area” which led me to this site[theringfinders.com] where I found a link to Matthew’s profile.

I texted him and he called me within an hour to arrange a time to search the property. He came out on a Saturday morning and actually spent three hours searching. About an hour and a half in I thought maybe I’d sent him on a wild goose chase.

He was pretty confident though and ultimately found the ring in a spot that was at least 50' from the area I originally thought I’d lost it in. Matthew is a great guy with genuine positive energy and an obvious knack for finding stuff with a metal detector.

If you’ve lost something of value in your yard, a park, etc., and have a reasonable(or not so reasonable) idea of where it is, chances are pretty good this guy will find it.

If there’s anyone who is going to find your missing jewelry, it’s The Ring Hero!!!"

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

"I made this ring myself when I was 16 years old out of sheet metal at a blacksmithing workshop. I had worn it every day since I was about 17 (about 3-4 years) and I had taken it to several countries with me.

When I was wading out into the water at a beach, it flew off my finger and I spent about 20 minutes searching for it in about 3-4 feet of water with no luck. My heart sank. Although the ring does not have much intrinsic value, it is one of a kind and has tremendous personal value to me.

I located one ring finder about 40 minutes away who referred me to Brian who does water recoveries and lived much farther away. I really liked Brian’s "can-do" spirit and optimism. He was sure he could help me find my ring.

He looked up tide charts and drove almost 3 hours to where I had lost it. After looking for about 2 hours, he slept in his car to catch the low tide early the next day. With all of his hi-tech equipment, determination and enthusiasm, Brian was able to locate my ring an hour and a half into Day 2 of his search, which I thought I would never see again. If there’s anyone who is going to find your missing jewelry, it’s The Ring Hero!!!"

testimonial for Adam Greenburg (2022)

I just wanted to thank you again. My visit to the beach at our The Lodge & Club on 10/7/22 was one of my worst days because I lost my diamond wedding band.

When I saw you with your metal detector on the following Sunday, I had no idea your talent when I approached you just to ask if you equipment could find a lost ring. Our conversation gave me a glimmer of hope. When you texted me on Monday 10/10/22 with a picture of my ring, I was literally in tears that you had found my wedding band.

It is truly a miracle. I am without words that express my gratitude. Adam, you are my hero! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I would recommend Brian Carpenter to everyone. He is the best...

testimonial for Brian Carpenter (2022)

I would recommend Brian Carpenter to everyone. He is the best, most thorough and nicest ring finder ever. He came to my house the day after I lost my gold wedding band while cleaning up the garden for the coming winter season and found it after a thorough search. He smiled as wide as me after finding it!

He clearly knows what he is doing and is an expert at locating lost jewelry...

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2022)

My fiance accidentally flung her engagement ring into a thick, brushy area in our front yard while trying to remove it. At first, we thought it would be easy to find, but after several hours of searching without success, it felt like a hopeless cause.

While searching for ideas on the Internet in desperation, I happened to stumble across theringfinders.com and saw that Brendon was their local operative for our area. When I contacted Brendon, he was very willing and eager to help!

It was very easy to set up an appointment, and he was at our house looking for the ring within a couple of days. When he arrived, he was able to find the ring in about 10 minutes!!

He clearly knows what he is doing and is an expert at locating lost jewelry. Before contacting Brendon, we were just about to purchase a replacement ring that wouldn't have had the same sentimental value as the original. I'm so glad, we found Brendon instead! THANK YOU, BRENDON!

Thank you Steve! You are a honest upright hardworking thorough professional!

Kati was awesome. Very professional and asked me the right questions before she got started. Though the ring was not found directly using her equipment, she was very dedicated and structured about the way she went about the task.

I recommend Brian’s services to anyone that loses a ring, pendant, cross etc.

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

“More than a week has passed since Brian found my cross and I'm still talking to all of my friends about how he found it! I’m especially sharing with all of the soccer players that were with me when I lost the cross and they were all unsuccessful in finding the pendant after hours of searching. They just can’t believe that Brian found it! I honestly value the sincerity of Brian’s words when we arrived at the soccer field where I lost the cross. I didn't know him but he was always so very positive and Brian was so sure that he was going to find the cross. His positivity was contagious. With the passing of many hours, I saw the methodical process Brian used to mark all of the areas that he searched so he didn't miss any places. It was really an experience to see this and even when he didn't find it in the first 4 days searching, averaging 4 hours a day, Brian didn't lose hope and he kept encouraging me to stay hopeful. Every time he encouraged me to not give up, I would say to Brian, “IF YOU STILL HAVE HOPE BRIAN, I WILL FOLLOW YOU”. I recommend Brian’s services to anyone that loses a ring, pendant, cross etc. I personally didn't even know this type of service existed until I searched Google and found THE RING FINDERS and Brian’s name. Brian, thank you very much for finding my cross. I honestly will never forget this!”

Ron was so kind and professional. We are so thankful. God bless you Ron!

testimonial for Ron Wilton (2022)

Lost my ring tossing it up and playing with it walking in a park on a walk with my wife. Pretty stupid way to lose a ring, I know. My wife and I bought a metal detector and searched for a few hours (also after the park lawn was mowed, which brought me really down) but we didn't really know what we were doing. We didn't have any luck. So I found Ron on theringfinders.com from a quick Google search, and I texted him and he replied immediately. He came out the next morning and I showed him the area I dropped my ring and no joke, he found the ring in less than 2 minutes with his equipment while we were standing there! I was so hopeless before and really didn't think he would find it so fast! Ron was so kind and professional. We are so thankful. God bless you Ron!

So thankful for the recovering of my family heirloom.

Finding my ring was truly an act of persistence and passion. Thank you so much!

testimonial for Richard Browne (2022)

Thank you Rick.

Your dedication to finding lost items is incredible. Your stories of the things you’ve found, both for others and as part of your passion for “hunting” for objects both lost and left behind could easily fill a book.

Finding my ring was truly an act of persistence and passion. Thank you so much!

But watch out… I’ve told many people (already) about my experience. Everyone makes the same comment, “I had no idea there was a service such as “theringfinders.com”… if only I’d know when I lost my…

I will recommended Brian to absolutely anyone within ear shot forever. A true good fella who came through in the clutch...

testimonial for Brian Carpenter (2022)

After searching for my grandfather's ring for months, wasting money on metal detectors, hours and hours of time searching on my own, shredding my neighbors backyard (they approved), and asking for volunteers to help me, I decided to contact a real professional here. And man oh man did I find a gem in Brian! He came to my house exactly on time after driving 90 minutes to me in the city, asked me a bit more about what exactly happened, and while studying the possible trajectory of the lost ring this man got to work. Grade A+ equipment and knowledge of his work. He started to look for that ring like a detective and true professional. Great guy with a big heart who truly enjoys what he does and holds a great conversation too. It felt like hanging out with an old friend. After combing the area for over an hour (he didn't miss an inch) we still had not found it. I could tell he was a competitive man and passionate about getting the job done. I told him no hard feelings either way and sat down to give him more space while he wrapped a coil around the metal detector. 10 minutes later, he yelled out that he had found it under some pine needles and handed me the ring with the most genuine smile I had seen in quite some time. I hugged him and my fiancee even heard us celebrating from the 3rd floor of the house. I am not a big jewelry guy but this ring means the world to me as my grandfather and his story has inspired me my whole life. I will recommended Brian to absolutely anyone within ear shot forever. A true good fella who came through in the clutch. I know my grandfather was looking down and smiling at the both of us. Thank you Brian!!

So grateful and thankful for his help, I 100% recommend his services…

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

John was very prompt and communicated well! I had lost my wedding ring in the sand while packing up chairs and umbrellas. Within 15 mins of John starting his search, he was able to locate it! So grateful and thankful for his help, I 100% recommend his services if you are ever in need!!

I had totally given up hope, but thanks to your skill, persistence, and passion for finding lost valuables, you reunited me with my sentimental jewelry...

testimonial for Leighton Harrington (2022)

Leighton, I cannot thank you enough for this MIRACLE. When Sean and I realized my jewelry had fallen out of his pocket that sunny day at the beach, our hearts sank. Our carefree Saturday turned sour in an instant. My parents were there too, and the four of us scoured the area. I gave up hope pretty quickly, convincing myself that one of the many beach goers that day saw some valuable, sparkly jewelry on the ground and took it for themselves.

My mom persuaded me into posting a picture of my lost jewelry onto a Facebook Fairhaven group page in case someone found them. I asked my brother if anyone had returned my jewelry to the police station (he’s an officer in town), and he said no luck, but did file a report for me.

The folks on Facebook were so kind. A couple even went out with metal detectors, but could not find the jewelry. At that point, I really lost hope, and that’s when you reached out. I thought “oh no this guy should really not waste his time”.

It was surprising to me that you kept reaching out. I honestly felt a little bad! The rings were a purchase I made in Maine with one of my best friends as a “friendship bracelet” type thing and the necklace was a birthday gift one of my other best friends gave me. I knew the friend who bought me the necklace would be devastated, so I was stalling and trying to figure out a way to tell her eventually.

Fast forward two months, and I get a message from you to call you on the phone. I’m thinking “oh boy, this guy really doesn’t give up.” We talk on the phone for a bit, going over all the details. Then you say, “I found your rings”. I couldn’t believe my ears – after a few seconds all I could manage was “you WHAT!?”. ???? I was (and still am) in disbelief! I had totally given up hope, but thanks to your skill, persistence, and passion for finding lost valuables, you reunited me with my sentimental jewelry.

From my perspective, you represent the good of humanity and the “fellow neighbor”. As a writer I tend to think in terms of story, and this one began with a pessimistic, distrusting outlook on people. I had convinced myself that someone stole my rings and necklace the second they dropped from my boyfriend’s pocket. Not only have you given us the great gift of finding what was lost, you have changed and brightened my view by showing me that there are indeed honest, kind people in this world who use their talents and determination to help others.

Oh, and you saved Sean’s behind.

THANK YOU!!

I was beyond happy that he had found it. It meant so much to me and I am so very thankful!!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

My friends and I decided to take advantage of a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon and decided to go play a round of golf at Central Park Pitch and Putt in Burnaby.

I had a back pack with me and after teeing off at the 14th hole, I grabbed my back pack and put it over my right shoulder and noticed that the strap had caught on to my necklace. I asked my friend to untangle it and he did, and we went on our way.

We got to the 16th hole and teed off. I hit the ball to the right of the green. We all walked ahead and then I chipped my ball on to the green. I was about to putt when I felt my necklace fall from my neck. I gave my shirt a shake and my necklace fell to the ground. However, I noticed the 2 pendants I had on it were not there. Panic started to set in as these were two very valuable and sentimental things. One of the pendants was my name in gold. The other pendant was a gold cross with diamonds on the cross. The cross was a gift from my late grandmother, Tara, or Nana as we would call her. The pendant with my name on it was given to me by my mom, however after telling her I had lost it, she mentioned that it too was a gift from late grandmother.

My friends and I walked back and forth from the green at the 16th hole to the tee off box at the 14th hole 3 times. It was on the 2nd walk back that I found the cross pendant at the tee off box of hole #15. It was getting dark and reality started to set in. My other pendant was lost forever but at least I found 1 of the 2.

We all went and grabbed a bite to eat at a local restaurant. While waiting for a table, I remembered seeing a video on Facebook regarding actor Jon Cryor and him losing his wedding ring but finding it with the help of someone. I did a quick Google search and found The Ring Finders. I gave Chris a text and he called me back shortly after. We talked on the phone for about 10 mins and he got as much information from me as he could.

The following day, Chris called me and told me he went in the morning to the course before it got busy to check it out and see if he could find it, but didn't have any luck. He texted me back and we decided to meet up on Tuesday afternoon.

Chris and I walked to the 16th hole first and checked out places I could remember going. Then we walked to the 15th hole and then to the tee box for the 15th hole. Chris asked me where I found my cross and I pointed to the area. We looked around and around. Finally Chris told me that he forgot to do an opening interview. He pulled out his phone and asked me what exactly it was that I lost and was looking for. I told him, and then he kicked the dirt underneath him, reached down, and pulled out the pendant that I was missing! I was beyond happy that he had found it. It meant so much to me and I am so very thankful!!

Thank you Chris once again for finding this special piece of jewelry for not only me, but my grandmother as well!

These guys really know what they are doing and take pleasure in putting a smile back on your face. Way to go Jim!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2022)

After realizing my 6 month old labradoodle had swallowed my ring as confirmed by an X-ray, I wasn't too worried because I knew I would find it in a couple days.

Well. I went out of town and my husband and mother didn't find it. Now what? We borrowed a metal detector and went to work. Months later and afterpainting a grid on our yard ( a couple acres worth). Still no ring. Finally the grass started growing and we had to start mowing. That first time I cringed hoping I didn't hear a big noise.

As summer passed I gave up hope of ever finding it. Then one day my mom saw the ad for ring finders and called me. My best friend also saw it and messaged me. I figured it was worth a try even though I really didn't hold out hope.

I messaged Jim and a few minutes later he called. I figured when I told him I had a farm and my dog has the run of 2-3 acres he would say forget it! But he instead said how about I come out in the morning.

So the next morning as planned Jim showed up. After some discussion about what happened and where she liked to do her business, he got to work. After only a couple hours I walked around the house to see what was happening and he handed me my ring!

I was so stunned I didn't know what to say! I told him he was a miracle worker. I just knew that ring would be found in 50 years when someone developed this land or some such thing! I will highly recommend this service to anyone who is parted from something meaningful to them.

These guys really know what they are doing and take pleasure in putting a smile back on your face. Way to go Jim!

Hi, this is Rose. I could not believe that my mother’s ring was found. I never thought I would see that ring again. I believe we are here on this planet to make a difference in each other’s lives.

When their time on earth is done, they will know that their lives have been worth living and have meant so much to all the people they have helped so unselfishly.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2022)

“If you've lost your ring and it means the world to you, do yourself a favor and call Dave right away!

While vacationing in Gulf Shores, I lost my ring in about 4 feet of water and a minefield of shell fragments, sand, seaweed and jellyfish. Although I was certain I knew where it was, hours of searching by sight and feel was a lost cause. Still, the thought of leaving the ring my wife gave me on our wedding day sitting on the bottom of the gulf 1200 miles behind me, knowing it was within reach and I just couldn't see it, was unbearable. Dave had both the tools and the skills to do what I couldn't. All I had to do was show him where I thought I had lost it, and in a matter of moments he found my ring in a spot I had searched numerous times over several hours.

When you lose something as precious as a wedding ring, you want to do everything possible to find it. Do not settle for losing it forever if you haven't asked Dave for help.”

I was in total shock when he called and had found my ring...

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2022)

We stopped at the Cobourg beach on our road trip to stretch our legs and give my one year old daughter a break from the car. While loading the car back up I noticed my engagement ring was no longer on my finger.

My heart sank and I was devastated. We looked for hours but had no luck. That night we came across theringfinders and the next day I contacted Stephane. He answered right away and was ready to spring into action to look for my ring.

I had lost almost all hope but he assured me if the ring was there he would find it and would take as long as he needed to search the area. I was in total shock when he called and had found my ring in the sand at the beach. I couldn’t believe it! I really thought it would be impossible to find. Stephane even went out of his way to meet us close to an exit on the 401 when we were driving home to give us back the ring. We can’t thank Stephane enough!

I cannot thank Jim enough. Truly a lifesaver!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2022)

I can’t even begin to describe the panic and anxiety I was feeling when my ring slipped into the sand and disappeared. He saved our vacation from a sad ending and my nerves from completely being worn out. I was amazed at how quickly he arrived and found it, literally within 30 seconds. I cannot thank Jim enough. Truly a lifesaver!

Don’t waste your time, give yourself peace of mind and call him.

I lost my wedding band, fishing the bay on my Wife’s birthday. After searching for 6 days with multiple family members’ help, with multiple detectors, I called Jarrod. He went out an hour later that day after speaking with me and found it. We are extremely grateful. Anyone who has lost a wedding band knows the feeling. Don’t waste your time, give yourself peace of mind and call him. The fact he went down that night to start looking was greatly appreciated. Thank you!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2022)

Jim, thanks so much for being the hero of our vacation! You were quick and efficient with the find, and provided some comic relief in the process. We appreciate you and all that you do so much!

Thanks again Stephane!! Clearly ‘never give up’ is your motto.

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2022)

Success story!! Thanks again Stephane!! Clearly ‘never give up’ is your motto. I thought for sure after the first dive we would not see that phone again, but a few days later and FOUND!! SUCCESS!!

All your help with this is very much appreciated!

Jim Parker is Fantastic!

testimonial for Jim Parker (2022)

Jim Parker is Fantastic! He diligently responded to my inquiry about needing some help to find my lost wedding ring. I gave him the parameters that I had lost it playing sports on a soccer field. It seemed like it was going to be a daunting task as I had already searched for 3 plus hours on my own to find my ring. He agreed to meet before his work and moved things around in his schedule to accommodate me and met me early the next day I contacted him. We spent over and hour with no results. As my hope was starting to wane, he began to search a spot I felt like I had gone over a bunch of times because it was where I had felt that I lost the ring initially. With his great knowledge and understanding he used his metal detector and scanned a spot that he felt might be something.. he lifted up the grass and there was my ring! I was beyond ecstatic! I just thought id never find it again! It means a lot to both my wife and I. It was made in my hometown in Hawaii. If you lose a ring and need some help! ASK Jim! He will help you!

I am glad that I contacted right person for this retrive.

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2022)

This was one of the great moment for me. I dropped my phone in the water on Sunday and contact immediately Stephane to help me. He is very friendly and take your lost very serious and try his best as much as he can. I am so happy to find my phone. He just dive in and found my phone in 5 minutes. I am glad that I contacted right person for this retrive.

Thank you, Chris, for bringing the rings back into my life, but further for showing me that good people willing to help a stranger do exist.

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

I had gone to the beach to practice yoga, and set my rings on my bunny hug, assuring myself they would be safe while I practiced. Yet, when the time came – I threw my bunny hug on carelessly having a moment of amnesia that my rings were delicately resting on top. I realized my error about 5 minutes into my walk home and turned around immediately. I searched for an hour with no luck and walked home in a haze.

I couldn’t sleep, I just kept thinking about how there must be something I haven’t thought of yet to fix my mistake. After googling techniques on how to sift through sand, I came across one of Chris’s videos of him finding a ring for a couple at Kitsilano beach.

I figured I may as well try texting him – he called back immediately. I told him my situation, and he said he was on his way, and it would take him 45 minutes to get there. I was shocked by his professionalism and questioned if I had dreamt the phone call. When I met Chris, he was full of hope and positivity – he assured me that he would find the rings; truly I felt that in this moment he was an angel.

He searched on the beach for nearly two hours, and I sat nearby trying to visualize the ring. While we were on the beach, I took note of how kind and friendly he was to each passerby inquiring onto the situation and what he was searching for. I never once sensed a lack of hope from him, and I thought to myself that even if he can’t find my ring – I will be assured in knowing that both Chris and I have tried our hardest.

Then to my surprise, he found the rings and I cried with joy. I told Chris that the ring was a symbol of my commitment to myself to persevere through the hard times, like my previous battle with depression.

I almost can’t fathom how empathetic, thoughtful, and respectful he was while I told my story. I think that Chris might be an earth angel. I hope one day to be able to share love and hope the way he does with the world.

Thank you, Chris, for bringing the rings back into my life, but further for showing me that good people willing to help a stranger do exist. I wish you and your wife many blessings in your future.

We are incredibly grateful for Chris in finding our ring and his strong passion in helping people! Chris is a true gem and I highly recommend him!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

My wife and I were incredibly happy meeting you yesterday and receiving our ring back.

To catch the tail-end of summer, my wife and I decided to go on a day trip at a local lake to swim.

Prior to going into the water, I contemplated whether I should wear my ring or not. I had gone ahead and wore my ring since I didn’t want to leave my ring unattended at the beach tent we had set up.

I ended up losing my ring well within 20 minutes of our swim then spent the next hour trying to search for it underwater. The water was murky due to other swimmers kicking up dust nearby so it made the search task very difficult.

What was supposed to have been a day of fun and relaxation turned out to be disappointing and uneasy.

Several days later, I discovered TheRingFinders (Chris) and he immediately sprung into action by deploying to the lake.

The lake’s parking lot was closed due to over capacity of beach goers so Chris ended up having to park much further away and hike 2km! With his dedication and professional skills, Chris was able to find our ring and we were absolutely stunned!

We are incredibly grateful for Chris in finding our ring and his strong passion in helping people! Chris is a true gem and I highly recommend him!

I have now followed you on YouTube and Facebook and will be watching lots of your videos and content. Your website has been bookmarked as well.

Thanks again!

Alan

We are forever thankful to Chris. If it can be found, he will find it!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

A blissful dip in Alouette Lake was saddened when my husband's ring slipped off his finger. We figured it was gone for good, until a curious google search led me to TheRingFinders website. Chris got back to me and made plans to search for it the very next day. With doubts of finding it, and plans for a multi week search, Chris' expertise and experience persevered and he found the ring! We won't be swimming with our rings on anymore, but if we do we know who we're going to call.

We are forever thankful to Chris. If it can be found, he will find it!

-Amanda

Very blessed to have my ring back on my finger and forever grateful!!!

testimonial for Matthew Fry (2022)

Wow!!! If you ever lost a ring, you know the sentimental value being lost is the most heartbreaking thing. I was on vacation with family in North Myrtle Beach and coming out of the water noticed my wedding ring gone.

Really thought it was a lost cause and I don’t know what I was expecting when I googled “lost ring in ocean” but when I saw The Ring Finders I became hopeful. Talk about great customer service, they responded to my call in minutes. Jim was out of town so Matt was covering his turf. What a dynamic duo!

Matt is a true detective, pulling up tide charts and asking for specific details. I could tell this guy knew his stuff and after finding my ring we were amazed by the stories of his other finds. Very blessed to have my ring back on my finger and forever grateful!!! Thanks so much guys!

We appreciate your promptness and kindness!

testimonial for Michael Fuson (2022)

Thank you so much Michael!

You found my pendant quickly and was so interested in its story.

We appreciate your promptness and kindness!

I highly recommend Brandon – he is AWESOME!!

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2022)

While we had not lost hope to find the ring we were losing steam and feeling defeated. We found Brandon, extremely courteous and eager to help. He knew time was of the essence and fit us in same day to literally dig through the trash. It was gross, grimy and smelly, but he was on a mission. We were going to find that ring and boy, he sure did!! There were screams, tears, laughs and tons of high fives – to say that the owners were happy is an extreme understatement. There was obvious disbelief, which made the find that much sweeter. Brandon is AMAZING and has tons of experience and great tools to help. He never showed irritation with digging through yucky trash, was extremely positive, very easy going and super fun. Brandon will always be the one I call for trash digging for my owners and anyone else that asks. I highly recommend Brandon – he is AWESOME!!

I would recommend mark night and day to anyone...

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2022)

Mark is an extremely knowledgeable individual that holds a calming demeanor while working hard during a stressful situation. My boyfriend lost his Dads ring and we looked for 75 minutes in the water and thought all hope was lost.

I contacted Mark through a search on google and I could not be more thankful that my search lead me to him. He was professional, friendly, and calm. It was getting a little dark out so I didn’t think he would find it, but after about 30-45 min he came out (I was expecting bad news) he asked us to describe the ring. After he heard the description he said “well this might be it!” And blew my mind when he pulled Brandon’s fathers ring out. I would recommend mark night and day to anyone. Hope is not lost if you get this amazing man to search!

John is phenomenal!

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

After returning home to Delaware from a day in Ocean City, I realized I had lost my wedding band, engagement ring, and an accent ring. I searched the internet and found an article that mentioned John. I reached out to him via text and he immediately called me. We discussed the details of the situation and concluded the conversation around 11pm. 4:15 am, I received a text message with a picture of my rings. Not only did he find my jewelry, but I didn't even have to go back to Jersey to retrieve them. He met me in Delaware.

John is phenomenal!

We are so appreciative of John’s amazing accuracy of his expertise!

Truly, you saved our day and made our hearts feel complete peace again! We can’t thank Steve

testimonial for Steven Ray (2022)

Just two short months ago we got married. Life had been busy, and we decided to take a mini vacation to Pine Knoll shores to visit my parents for the holiday weekend. After a beautiful and relaxing afternoon at the beach, we noticed my husband had lost his wedding ring, after taking a swim in the ocean.

Our hearts felt immediately broken, when we realized the ring was missing at the beach. After hours of searching ourselves, we sadly left the beach and just couldn’t accept the ring was forever lost. My husband contacted Steve later that night.

Very early the next morning, Crystal Coast Ring Finders came to our rescue. We gathered at the exact beach spot we lost the ring. They had a grid from the information we provided and started searching the sand and then the surrounding ocean.

As we watched the beautiful sunrise, and the two talented men trying to find our ring, I kept praying. The truth is, I was up most of night before praying they would find the wedding ring. We both couldn’t sleep, anticipating the ring rescue! With God, their very skilled expertise and good hearts, my husband had his ring back in 45 or so minutes.

Steve found it in the ocean, where it had landed when it fell off. We had so much emotion when he located our wedding band. Our ring has an extended story now, and is even more treasured.

There were tears and hugs and we will never forget this day. We are so thankful for Crystal Coast Ring Finders! Truly, you saved our day and made our hearts feel complete peace again! We can’t thank Steve and his associate enough.

John is amazing, he found my sister-in-law’s lost rings IN the ocean!!!

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

John is amazing, he found my sister-in-law’s lost rings IN the ocean!!!

The rings, which had sentimental value, fell off her finger while in the ocean, and he came with his metal detectors and found both of them within an hour. We were stunned.

Huge thank you to Brian for doing what I thought was impossible and re-uniting me with the ring.

testimonial for Brian Tucholke (2022)

I lost my gold wedding band and got in touch with Brian late in the evening to see if he would take the job. He said yes, but there was a huge storm overnight and I was only able to meet him the following morning to give him a search area on land and in the water before I had to leave for home.

He took in all the info, made judgements about where it was most likely to be and got to work. As we left he was in the ocean working back and forth in his search grid. When I got an email later that day that he found it I was flabbergasted. I couldn’t stop smiling. Huge thank you to Brian for doing what I thought was impossible and re-uniting me with the ring.

Joe is our hero. Saved the day, saved the ring, saved our celebration...

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2022)

Joe saved the day. He incredulously found my husband’s wedding band in waist deep water at Kamana Beach buried deep in the sand. The ring that was on Bob’s finger for 50 years and this was our 50th wedding anniversary celebration. People at the beach became aware of the loss and the search. When it was found people cheered and clapped. The ring is back on Bob’s finger and Joe is our hero. Saved the day, saved the ring, saved our celebration. Forever grateful, Chris and Bob

10/10 highly recommend...

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2022)

To say I’m grateful is a complete understatement. You were beyond friendly and so prompt in responding to the texts as well as getting out and searching. 10/10 highly recommend if you are ever in the same situation I found myself in.

We are so grateful for Donald and his willingness to drive from San Juan to Rio Grande to look for my ring. He was a pleasure to work with and we couldn't be more happy...

testimonial for Donald OReilly (2022)

This was our 4th night in Puerto Rico, we had spent the day in El Yunque National Forest. It was around 5:30 in the evening and we wanted to enjoy the ocean a bit before getting supper. My son and I were in waist deep water right in front of our resort. It was very windy and the surf was pretty brutal. That's why we were only waist deep. My son was horsing around trying to pull me under. He grabbed my shoulder and pulled on my arm. His hand slid down my arm and onto my hand pulling my ring off as his hand left my hand.

My son is a lifeguard and immediately started trying to find the ring. We searched and searched until the sun went down and had no luck. We searched several more times during our stay in Puerto Rico. We had no luck and figured the ring was gone. My son felt terrible.

When we got back to Wisconsin, my lovely wife had the idea to look on-line to see if there were any ring search websites in Puerto Rico. The thought being we couldn't be the only family that had lost a ring. My wife found the theringfinders.com site and we found Donald's name. I called on a Sunday and Donald found it the very next day. A week later, the ring was back on my finger.

We are so grateful for Donald and his willingness to drive from San Juan to Rio Grande to look for my ring. He was a pleasure to work with and we couldn't be more happy.

Thanks again Donald for your help

Mike was a hero!

testimonial for Michael Bussard (2022)

Mike was a hero! I lost my wedding ring swimming in Hagg Lake, in a spot where the bottom was very silty. I called him the next morning & he agreed to come out, even though it was over a 100 mile drive. He & his friend Mike set up and started looking. Two hours later he’d found a collection of beer caps, coins, and fishing sinkers. It was getting late & I suggested we call it a day. But Mike said he felt like he was getting close, and wanted to keep looking until sunset, an hour later. With about ten minutes to go, he picked up something he’d found out of his sifter. “What’s that?” I asked. “I think it’s your ring,” he said.

Later he told me if I’d left at sunset, he would have kept going with a headlamp. But we’re both glad it didn’t come to that!

God truly sent Tracy to us and answered all of our prayers!!! We could not be more thankful!! Call Tracy if you need help...

testimonial for Tracy Santee (2022)

If you have lost a ring, CALL TRACY!! I lost my engagement ring in a thick bush at a hotel, we were to be checking out the day after and I did not want to leave without finding the ring. After searching for hours and exhausting every effort, I called Tracy and he had returned my phone call within the hour, and with the understanding that we were to be heading home and not staying another night at the hotel, he made his way to us ASAP!

Tracy brought his mother, Judy, along with him, and they are a great family duo! Right away I could tell that they were very determined and hopeful to find the ring! Which restored a lot of confidence and faith back into me. Tracy had brought all the right equipment for the bush he would be searching through. And let me tell you, this was not an easy bush to search through AND Tracy even had a cast on his foot! Tracy worked hard and within 15-20min he had found the ring!!! He and Judy celebrated with me and were just as happy as we were!!

God truly sent Tracy to us and answered all of our prayers!!! We could not be more thankful!! Call Tracy if you need help, he will never give up and stay determined and I can almost guarantee that he won’t let you down!!

It was an unprecedented pleasure to meet someone like Chris who has sincere desire to spread kindness.

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

Literally the first time I've ever used the word "Kismet" was for this situation.

I don't think a more perfect person could have shown up randomly to solve such a specific problem.

My partner and I had shown up on the beach that morning with a borrowed metal detector to try and find my engagement ring I had lost while swimming the day before. We had been aimlessly waving the thing around for about an hour before spotting Chris off in the distance (with a monster truck version of a metal detector and additional equipment). I approached him to let him know what we were looking for and to our amazement, finding rings is a specialty.

He had a process, marked areas, scanned, asked questions, then scanned again. He was genuinely kind, unshakably optimistic, and clearly loved everything about this. Hours later about 20 minutes before the tide would've eaten up that exact area he found it!! The unbelievable odds that Chris showed up added a sense of perfect magic to what could've been a devastating situation.

It was an unprecedented pleasure to meet someone like Chris who has sincere desire to spread kindness.

If you've lost something it is an absolute treat to contact The Ring Finders

You were our miracle and we are so grateful to you and your passion for wanting to help people...

testimonial for Brian Tucholke (2022)

Dear Brian,

Thank you so much for finding my husband’s wedding ring. As I said when we spoke on the phone after you found it, I knew you were the one that was going to find it.

We had both been heartbroken over the loss of this sentimental piece of jewelry all week but were hopeful that somehow, someway it could be found.

You were our miracle and we are so grateful to you and your passion for wanting to help people find their lost treasures.

he's so nice and helpful! thank you so much!

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

I lost my ring and necklace on the beach and he came out in 10 minutes to find it! he's so nice and helpful! thank you so much!

Thank you so, so much Rick and Leighton!

testimonial for Leighton Harrington (2022)

We called Cape Cod Metal Detectors to possibly rent a metal detector. The woman told us $35/day. We asked if it went underwater and she laughed and said “call Rick.” We asked how much his services would cost and she said free. We were disbelieving and a little shocked. The thought of not trying to find it again after already spending hours looking seemed like giving up, and we didn’t want that! Rick was so pleasant on the phone and clearly loves what he does. He said he was born to do this. I asked about his success rate and he said 85%. I was sold and had to hold back my excitement. Leighton and Rick were at the beach when we arrived. We went out to the spot as best we could remember. We were in knee to thigh-high water. We were instructed to stay put which wasn’t always easy because we still wanted to look. We were very cold as it was overcast and rainy and didn’t have anything more than our swimsuits that we brought on vacation. I took a break when my feet went numb and went to shore for my rain jacket, Soon after I went back out and Leighton worked his way over, I knew from his face when he found it. He was so close to me. It was absolutely amazing and shocking. I couldn’t believe it was really happening. We are eternally grateful to these wonderful men who can apparently find needles in haystacks. They had all the best equipment ($2500 metal detector!) and enthusiasm, even in terrible weather! “We’re going to get wet anyway” Leighton said. I really didn’t think we’d see the ring again. I think we’re still in shock. We’ve told the story, sometimes multiple times, to family members and all were silent for a moment in disbelief. These men make the impossible possible. Complete game-changers. Thank you so, so much Rick and Leighton!

We highly recommend Brian if you've lost any jewelry!"

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

"Brian Rudolph truly is our RING HERO! I lost my husband's wedding band while planting a large garden bed at a friend’s house and we truly thought it was lost forever.

He was methodical and thorough in searching for the ring, explaining everything he was doing along the way. We highly recommend Brian if you've lost any jewelry!"

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

John saved our night!! He arrived very quickly after we called, was very professional and got right to work.

He was literally in the water one minute , heard a sound, shoveled....and pulled my husbands ring up , very first try! He was just shaking his head and couldn't believe it!

I’m so grateful to Allen for finding my ring, I lost it one night while swimming in Sanibel Island. It was mid afternoon and I spent hours trying to find it until I gave up, the next morning I found him on google and ringfinders (I didn’t even know that existed) I called him and he came right away, I pointed out the location. He told me he had to wait until tide was low to try, but made me feel so hopeful, it wasn’t until a couple of weeks after that he send me the pictures telling me found my ring! I couldn’t believe it. Thank you Allen for finding my ring and not giving up. Thank you for your honesty. God bless you always.

I wanted to say thank you so much...

testimonial for Steve Smith (2022)

Hi Steve!

Joe here. You found my wedding band almost two weeks ago now down in Redondo Beach.

I wanted to say thank you so much. From the day I lost my ring bodyboarding to the time I called you was about a 3-day difference.

You hopped on it right away that same night, and found it before midnight!! I can’t thank you enough for finding this ring for me. It means the world to me, and I now know never to wear it again in these kinds of activities. I always thought it would never get lost, until it slid right off my finger without me knowing.

Thank you again Steve!

Best,

Joe Elias

I still can’t believe I have the ring back on my finger! And Rene was fantastic...

testimonial for Rene Mills (2022)

18 years ago, I designed a ring for my future wife and carried it in a backpack all over the Grand Staircase Escalante and Capitol Reef National Monuments while we camped and hiked for almost a week. I had learned that she had a diamond from her grandmother that would be the centerpiece for her wedding ring so I wanted to create something special when I proposed to her.

We had recently hiked to the top of Greys and Torreys, two 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado. And we had hiked to the base of Diamond Face at Long’s Peak, another 14er. So, I found a custom jeweler in British Columbia who could take my design concept and make it into a ring. A white gold band with yellow gold inlays of Greys and Torreys on one side of a sun with a diamond chip and Diamond Face at Long’s Peak on the other side. After carrying it around in my backpack for a week, I gave this ring to her when I asked her to marry me.

After she said Yes, I took this design to a local jeweler with her grandmother’s diamond and asked them to create the same concept: White gold with a yellow gold inlay of Greys and Torrey’s on one side, Diamond Face from Long’s Peak on the other, and her grandmother’s diamond taking the place of the sun. This was coupled with a matching wedding band with several small channel diamonds in a gold band.

On our wedding day, she wore her grandmother’s diamond in this setting as her engagement ring and I put the wedding band on her finger while she put the original engagement ring (slightly resized) on my hand. So, when I put this wedding band in my pocket while helping a friend do some brush clearing at his new house last week, I was dismayed to find out that I had put the ring in a pocket that had a small hole in it.

After several days of searching the back yard, the front yard, and even inside the house, it was clear that the ring was “hiding” somewhere. I contacted Renee on Ring Finders and showed her where the ring was most likely to be while adding that we might be searching along a path and into the front yard. I walked away to check some areas that I hadn’t searched because I hadn’t thought I had walked there “just in case” when, comically, I heard Renee five seconds later say, “I found it.”

There it was. Tucked in the grass as we suspected, exactly where I thought it might be.

I still can’t believe I have the ring back on my finger! And Rene was fantastic showing my kids how metal detectors work!

Don’t hesitate to contact Steve...

testimonial for Steve Pacifico (2022)

Steve was so amazing at responding to my initial message. He called me back immediately and we set a date and time to meet. He asked us some questions that helped him to pinpoint the exact location. He found the anklet in 5 min. Don’t hesitate to contact Steve even if you think it will be impossible to find your jewelry.

Ory, you are a hero, and one of the kindest most humble humans I have ever met. Thank you for who you are and what you do. I am forever grateful.

testimonial for Ory Schuman (2022)

I flew out to Sacramento from NY for a fishing trip with my dad, and on the day of depart I lost my ring in the lake behind my parents house. The weeds were knee high, and I quickly realized that without an underwater metal detector and some serious scuba gear, this task would be impossible. I was torn, do I delay the fishing trip and spend the day (or days) looking for my ring and miss out on time with my dad, or head out for my trip and hope to find it upon my return in the day before my departure. Neither option was great – I was between a rock and a hard place, so I did what I do best, I went to the internet to search for advice. I quickly found theringfinders.com (great SEO!) and after searching my local area, found the Godsend known as Ory. After a brief chat, Ory assured me he would find my ring and urged me to enjoy the fishing trip with my dad and he would work with my mom (the fishing trip was a guy trip) to swing by the house with his gear and search for the ring.

Noted as one of his most challenging search’s, Ory not only succeeded in find my wedding ring, but did so in only a couple hours! He found the ring about 6 inches under the lake floor, but with expert skill and determination he found it!

I can still remember the text of success as well as the call with Ory and my mom.

Ory, you are a hero, and one of the kindest most humble humans I have ever met. Thank you for who you are and what you do. I am forever grateful.”

Once again, many Thanks!

testimonial for Richard Higham (2022)

Many Thanks Richard for coming out and locating the ring. I was totally surprised that you managed to find it still under all that water! But as you said at the time, remembering the exact moment I lost it and recalling details accurately definitely helped in the search. Once again, many Thanks!

We had already looked so hard. But I guess it just takes a professional!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

Thanks so much Chris. Loosing this ring on my wedding night! Wow I was very disappointed to say the least and so was my wife…. Other than that the wedding was perfect but having lost the ring we made our vows too made a bit of a shadow on everything. We had family and friends and my self searching for hours. Even one buddy of mine came over with a metal detector and spent a couple hours of his time helping me to no avail. Hearing about “the ring finders” was my last hope. But honestly I thought it was gone. We had already looked so hard. But I guess it just takes a professional! I was so excited when I got your FaceTime! I only wish I could of been there, but at the end of the day I got my ring back and my new wife Taylor and I can feel fully relaxed starting our new marriage. Thanks so much Chris for your kind personality and professional service!

He’s amazing and my husband (and our little grandsons) could not be happier!

testimonial for Louis Sarkas (2022)

We were so thrilled that we found a site for lost rings but had no idea how amazing it really was until we found there was a person in the next town from Dennis (Yarmouth). I called the number and Lou answered. He came to the beach we were at within a half hour. The waves were crazy but he kept at it for a couple of hours. He left but assured me he’d keep trying until he found it. He went back in the early early morning with no luck so of course he went back again and he found it! He’s amazing and my husband (and our little grandsons) could not be happier!

the experience of finding it after being lost for almost 5 days!!! Priceless

testimonial for Donald OReilly (2022)

I had the right amount of hope and luck to find Donald by searching for metal detectors in San Juan! He was able to swing by in less than 30 mins and found the ring in less than 5mins! This is a gift from my father so even more valuable than the gold itself! But the experience of finding it after being lost for almost 5 days!!! Priceless

Highly recommend Stephane!

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2022)

Thank you Stephane! I knew right away when I did a Google search to see who could go in and find my phone in the water and came across you and Ring Finders. You basically texted me back within 39 minutes and then called to see how you could help. I really appreciate that you did what you could to become available to drive up to the area (about an hour and a half from home) to come and recover my phone. You geared up and headed out in the direction I showed you where I lost my phone. Luckily for me it’s so heavy that it didn’t float away, but still made it 10-15 feet from where I believed I dropped it. We searched for an hour and a half before giving up because of the dark weeds. Highly recommend Stephane!

Jeff! Our knight in shining metal detector equipment.

testimonial for Jeffrey Levy (2022)

“Jeff! Our knight in shining metal detector equipment. What started as a perfect beach day ended up taking a scary turn when my ring went missing in the sand. After failed attempts by our group to retrace the steps and try to eye it in the endless sand or even try to get our own metal detector, it seemed hopeless. However, thanks to some quick thinking by my sister-in-law, the internet gods led us to a Jeff! As we patiently waited for his arrival (he was so kind and dropped everything he was doing to come to Santa Monica immediately), we read more and more of his testimonials and we’re in awe of people’s stories. It helped keep us hopeful. When Jeff arrived he said “it often takes me longer to put on my equipment than it does to find the jewelry” and that was no exaggeration. Within a minute, I turned my back and heard the ding and saw him scoop my ring deep within the sand. My fiancé and I are so thankful to Jeff!!! He was kind, patient and giving. I don’t know what would have happened if we didn’t get it back. While I hope I never have to call Jeff again for any sand mishaps, I know he’d be my first call if something terrible were to happen. I highly recommend him if you’re in a terrible situation like we were, to give Jeff a call asap!! He’s your guy. Thank you Jeff!! I can never say it enough. “

Thank you Jim! You are a hero!!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2022)

Jim is incredible. I am still so amazed at how fast everything happened. After a very hard long day of my trying to find my ring, I spent literally all day looking for it, I got a really bad sunburn and my back hurts so much. I even borrowed a metal detector from the store and I had people helping me to look and we just couldn't find it. I was defeated. My last idea was to Google "what to do when you lose your wedding ring" and there was this website "Theringfinders.com", I didn't have much hope to be honest but I had to give it a try. It was too good to be true. Less than an hour later I had my wedding ring with me thanks to Jim! I think what he does is amazing. He is not only very skilled and has the coolest equipment, he helps people like me, who made a big bad decision to find my wedding ring which has so much emotional value. Thank you Jim! You are a hero!! It was so great to meet you.

Not all hero's wears capes. Dave is my superman for this. I still can't believe that he found my wife's wedding ring.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2022)

Kaylee (wife)

DAVE IS A HERO! This was my ring he was able to find after the ocean tried to steal it. I am still in shock and awe at the small miracle he performed on the beach. There are no words for what a wonderful person he truly is. Not many people are willing to use their talents for such a good thing but I’m so grateful he does. We are a few months away from having our first baby and having the ring my husband gave me on my hand, where it belongs, brings me indescribable happiness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are a blessing to all of those you help.

Felix (husband)

Not all hero's wears capes. Dave is my superman for this. I still can't believe that he found my wife's wedding ring. I was thinking that the ocean had won and took away something truly special for my wife and I. I lost hope and felt so sad for my pregnant wife. Dave turned this story into pure joy!!! I legit did run full spirit to hug this man. You only hear these kind of stories in movies and he turned it into reality. I recommend him to anybody who needs help finding missing jewelry. 11/10 stars from this family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will never forget this.

I was so grateful and I definitely would recommend his services!!! I’ve been smiling all night.

testimonial for Richard Archer (2022)

The last thing I needed was more bad news, it seems like our family had been hit with a string of bad luck for the past month.

On Monday 8/1 while bathing my pups in my backyard I lost my wedding ring. I was devastated!! I searched for 3 days and even bought a metal detector! On day 3 after searching and failing, I decided to seek professional help.

I am so glad I came across The RingFinders! Mr. Archer was very pleasant to work with, responded to my text for help in a timely manner, and came right out the same day. Within 15 mins he found my ring!!!

I'm telling you I had put in at least 10 hours of searching on my own. I was so grateful and I definitely would recommend his services!!! I’ve been smiling all night.

I give 5 stars! He loves what he does and it shows.

testimonial for Jim Wren (2022)

"Give Him a ring, he'll find yours! Jim Wren was a delight. He loves the service he provides and it shows. He has a confidence about him that immediately removes your angst when you meet him. He has a smile that lights up the world topped only by his ability. I was impressed by his meticulous grid work and in two hours stopped only once for water. I can tell you unequivocally Jim Wren is your BEST choice when hoping to once again hold your precious lost item in you hand. He and the service he provides, I give 5 stars! He loves what he does and it shows. Thank you from the bottom of your tear filled ocean and my heart."

I would never in a million years be able to have my ring with me right now if it wasn’t for Jeff.

testimonial for Jeffrey Levy (2022)

I was at Crystal cove Saturday and I lost a ring that is very valuable, it has a diamond and sapphires and anyone that found it would make a lot of money. It is invaluable to me because it is a ring from my grandmothers diamond that my mother designed and wore all through my childhood. It has my favorite color (blue), and my Mom is my favorite person so I’ve always loved it. Two years ago my Mother gifted this ring to me at Christmas.

So when I noticed that my ring was missing at 8 o’clock at night I was distraught. You don’t have a lot of options in those scenarios. You can search, and hope for the best from strangers that find it, you can call the police but the best you can hope for from them is a claim for insurance if you have it. I posted on Reddit because I knew that there were some people with metal detectors in the group and I wanted to say that if anyone found it to please let me know. I was then directed to Jeff.

I text Jeff at 10 pm Saturday night. I didn’t expect to hear back because it was so late, but I had to do something.

At 3:45 I got a text from Jeff saying that he was available and would head my way from a pretty far distance.

He followed up an hour later, but I was still asleep and had not responded.

At 5 am I woke up and we coordinated to meet at the beach.

He was incredible, so kind and helpful and committed to helping me find my ring. He told me that we might not find it today but not to give up. And he walked me through exactly where I was and what I was doing. When we ended at a bench I sat on we found the ring buried in the dirt. I was so happy I cried a bit and asked Jeff if he was an angel.

I would never in a million years be able to have my ring with me right now if it wasn’t for Jeff. He is seriously a life saver and I am so thankful that I got his number.

I highly recommend Mark to help you if you lost something….

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2022)

We are so incredibly thankful that we found Mark Rubey to help us find an extremely important sentimental piece of jewelry that could never be replaced. When I spoke with Mark by phone, he was compassionate and sympathetic about what happened and was eager to help us. I never imagined that he would drop what he was doing at 8:30 at night and help us find a ring in the pitch black darkness without hesitation. In literally less than 5 minutes, my heart-break turned into heart being full! My son was over the moon and I was so happy and grateful I didn’t give Mark a chance to say it’s okay if I hugged him….I just did! (3 times:) He does his job very well and is a truly kind man. I highly recommend Mark to help you if you lost something….he has now been added to our personal address book under ring finder! Thank you again Mark, we are forever grateful ????!

I was impressed with your attention to detail and methodical searching...

testimonial for Brian Tucholke (2022)

Dear Brian,

Wow! I’m so grateful you found it. I felt such a fool for losing my wedding ring in the sea. Jo and I were realistic that the chance of you discovering it was slim, especially considering the size of the search area in 5ft deep water.

You were so kind to come quickly and meet me at the beach and I was impressed with your attention to detail and methodical searching. I was thrilled when you called the next day to tell me you had rescued my ring from the depths of Cape Cod waters.

I’m so grateful to you and Ringfinders. Your perseverance and genius with a metal detector has inspired us to buy one for our family.

Thank you again!

John is the real deal! Came out on a Friday night and worked his magic...

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

I knew who to call when my friend lost her ring on the beach in OCNJ because of others' posts on Facebook. John is the real deal! Came out on a Friday night and worked his magic. Prompt, nice and reasonable! Hope my story gives you hope too if you've lost your ring or other valuables.

Thank you again from all of us! You will be one our heroes always.

testimonial for Thomas LeDew (2022)

Thomas, thank you for your kindness and persistence in finding my grand-daughter-in-law’s wedding ring! Our whole family is happy about this, and we are so thankful that their vacation has a memorable best ending. By all accounts, your search took a long time, and I am sure seemed hopeless at times. Thank you again from all of us! You will be one our heroes always.

I am so thankful to Steve for the selfless service that he provides to make people happy!

testimonial for Steve Smith (2022)

Jewlery is about many things, not just about a monetary value of it. Most often, it signifies important moments in our lives, and treasured memories, that mean to us more than just a price tag.

I am so thankful to Steve for the selfless service that he provides to make people happy! He found my ring, that meant a lot to me, and interestingly enough, now memory of his help is a part of this ring story as well…

Thank you so much for rescuing my little treasure, and all the best to you!

Igor A. Len

you also restored my faith that good people still exist in this world...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

Where to even begin. I am still in shock and amazement that my rings were found! It felt like such a hopeless search, not even knowing for sure where I lost them, so to have them back on my hand is just unreal. Six days of ups and downs, searches and sadness, and it all ended with a smile so big my face hurts. I am SO GLAD I CALLED YOU. It felt like a long shot at the time, but I had nothing else to lose, and knew I needed to try everything before giving up. When I talked to you on the phone, previous to meeting for the search, I knew I had picked the right guy to help me out. Truly, you are a special soul. I just keep telling everyone what a kind human you are. Not only did you bring my rings back to me, (in a matter of minutes!), but you also restored my faith that good people still exist in this world. Your kindness and integrity shine through in your personality, and in your business. I am forever grateful to you. Not only for the recovery of my wedding rings, but also just for reminding me of the good people out there; the helpers. I am so happy to have them back! A midsummer miracle. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

~ Lindsay

Thank you John!!

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

I lost my wedding rings on beach in Ocean City and John was able to find it for me. So professional. I am sharing his contact information with everyone I know in case they ever lose jewelry on the beach. Thank you John!!

I highly recommend him to anyone!! He was also the nicest guy!

testimonial for Luke Schlining (2022)

I can’t explain how thankful I am for you finding my ring. He did an amazing job and the fact that he wasn’t giving up on us and came back for a second round to look for it! I highly recommend him to anyone!! He was also the nicest guy!

Our family will never forget you. You made our summer!

testimonial for Brian Tucholke (2022)

Thank you very much for finding and returning our ring Brian. When the ring was lost back in 2018 my wife and I thought it was gone forever. We searched the beach for days with no luck. When Laura saw your Facebook post, 4 years later, she was speechless. It seemed too good to be true but within an hour the ring was back on my finger.

Our family will never forget you. You made our summer!

Dave is the guy to go to if you lose a ring in the Gulf Shores/ Pensacola area. Super nice guy that loves what he does.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2022)

When I lost my wedding ring that Friday afternoon it honestly ruined my whole day. All I could think about was the ring and how I would probably never see it again.

My wife was honestly less upset about it than I was. After doing a quick google search for “ring finders” I ran across Dave’s profile. After talking on the phone with him he gave me more confidence that there was a chance I could get the ring back.

The next morning when Dave got to our condo he was confident that he would have no problems finding my ring, and boy was he right. No exaggeration, it took him 5 minutes to run across it in the gulf.

It took him longer to unload and get his gear down to the beach than it did to actually find the ring. I was shocked at how easily he had found it. Needless to say, Dave is the guy to go to if you lose a ring in the Gulf Shores/ Pensacola area. Super nice guy that loves what he does. Thanks again Dave for saving my vacation!

I will be recommending you to everyone in the area!

testimonial for Alan Seeney (2022)

Thank you so much, Alan! I am so glad you scanned the area again, and took measures to ensure my ring was not only found, but mailed to me safely and quickly. You displayed great, communication, care, and responsibility. I will be recommending you to everyone in the area!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you and I pray God blesses you! : )

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

My daughter lost her ring and we were so thankful that John was able to find it very quickly! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you and I pray God blesses you! : )

We are so grateful to Tim and Jennifer. They were so kind, helpful, and determined to do all they could in finding the ring

testimonial for Tim Blank (2022)

A huge thank you to Tim and his wife, Jennifer, for finding my husband’s wedding ring that had slipped off while at the local Rib Festival. We had a ton of people helping search the grounds, put posts on social media, and had a report with police as well as the festival lost/found, but no ring was found. My husband feared it may have fallen into a paper towel while washing his hands and ended in the trash, or someone found it and kept it since there were hundreds of people at the fest. He was pretty certain he was never going to see it again.

The ring was lost on Saturday, and come Sunday night we still had no luck finding it. My Dad found TheRingFinders.com, and suggested I call. Monday morning, I secured permission to have a metal detector search of the area, and then I contacted Tim. My husband and I were hopeful, but knew the likelihood of the ring being found was very small. We were completely shocked and overjoyed when Tim texted me a photo of my husband’s FOUND ring!! It had been pushed into the ground and there was no way we would have seen it.

We are so grateful to Tim and Jennifer. They were so kind, helpful, and determined to do all they could in finding the ring. My husband and I had previously searched the grounds for hours and Tim and Jennifer were able to find the ring in minutes! I am so grateful I made the call.

Thank you, Ring Finder, for reuniting my in-laws again.

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

My mother-in-law passed away right after their 45th anniversary. Since than my father-in-law wore her wedding ring and cross on a necklace around his neck. Thinking he was keeping it safe he put it in his beach bag while we were down the shore this week.

When he reached for a towel from the bag he must’ve inadvertently knocked the necklace out. We didn’t discover this until we had gotten home. Needless to say he was devastated. I remembered seeing a post a month ago about the Ring Finders and quickly looked John up.

Within 2 hours he was here searching for the ring. Less than an hour later my father-in-law was reunited with his most cherished possession. Thank you, Ring Finder, for reuniting my in-laws again.

I appreciate John’s passion for detecting AND his kindness AND willingness to simply help someone who needed it!

testimonial for John Snyder (2022)

?John found my ring right away! I went down to the beach for a walk while my husband was shelling. I took my ring off and put it in my pocket while I put lotion on my face, and promptly forgot to put them back on my hand. I was quite upset when I realized it!

I contacted John and he came out a week later and found it! I was able to show him some landmarks and he found it within moments of searching. I couldn’t believe it-I was sure it was lost forever! I appreciate John’s passion for detecting AND his kindness AND willingness to simply help someone who needed it! Thank

Couldn’t recommend him enough as he was super easy to work with and an absolute lifesaver!

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2022)

We got to the beach at 5:20am to get set up for the Blue Angels show. After a LONG day at the beach we went to unpack all of our beach gear and realized Hunter’s ring wasn’t anywhere to be found.

Panicked we went back later that afternoon to see if it might have been on the surface. However, with all the beach traffic and a storm coming in it was nowhere to be seen. I contacted Dave as he was recommended through Facebook hoping for a miracle.

Well he was just that. Without him Hunter’s ring would have been gone forever. We just got married in May of this year. Couldn’t recommend him enough as he was super easy to work with and an absolute lifesaver!

Adam was absolutely outstanding!

testimonial for Adam Greenburg (2022)

What started off as a fun 4th of July at Little Talbot Island Beach, quickly turned into panic when I realized my wedding ring and band came off of my finger in the water. Immediately we began to search the beach with no luck. I felt hopeless and I thought my last resort was informing the park rangers of the lost item and pray someone would stumble across it and return it. I left the beach knowing likely I would never see it again.

Shortly after returning home, my husband’s aunt sent me some information on steps to follow when you have lost a ring. She also came across the ringfinder.com site and sent it to me in case it could be helpful.

I checked it out and searched our local area and came across Adam Greenburg. Not only did his solid experience and testimonies from other clients stand out to me but his personal values did as well. I felt confident if I had any shot at all of seeing my ring again it would be with some one like Adam.

I contacted Adam on 4th of July, a couple hours after I left the beach. Even on a holiday he was kind enough to take my call, review details related to time the ring was lost, location, and even satellite imaging to get an approximate location. He checked tides and determined the best tide and time would be the following morning to start the search.

Adam arrived to Talbot before opening and began his search immediately. He kept me up to date the entire search and ended up spending over 4 hours covering over three miles searching tirelessly for my rings. He informed me that he didn’t come across them but would continue his search and that I shouldn’t give up hope and that tides would be working in our favor the next couple days. I thanked him for his time and efforts and had peace knowing we gave it our best shot.

On Thursday morning, 7/8 - to my surprise I received a picture from Adam of my ring and he said never lost faith! I immediately got tears in my eyes, I couldn’t believe it, he found not only my wedding ring but my band!!!

All I can say from first contact to the ring being found, Adam was absolutely outstanding! This was not just luck that the rings were found, this was a direct result of Adam’s quick response and search efforts, his knowledge of his craft, knowledge of tides/ weather conditions, and his determination. Adam truly cared and understood how sentimental these rings were to me. As said from Adam “never lost faith”!

My Fiancé got Chris‘s number from a lifeguar who says he's a professional, turned out he is...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

I take the ring off while I was applying sunscreen and then I leave it behind.

We checked everywhere on the beach but failed. My Fiancé got Chris‘s number from a lifeguard who says he's a professional turned out he is...It takes only 10 minutes for him to find my ring! It’s such a miracle! In Chinese culture?lost engagement ring is a bad sign for marriage, so we would like to express our deepest gratitude?thank you Chris What an amazing day!

Thank you so much. You are a hero.”

testimonial for Jim Wren (2022)

“This is Ron’s wife, Melanie. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are sure a special person and an Angel. Thank you so much. You are a hero.”

I was amazed, and I honestly can speak highly enough of both Steve and his work. He’s a true gentleman and very skilled.

testimonial for Steve Smith (2022)

I was out celebrating the Independence day weekend with my new wife of two months and friends on the beach. A beautiful day was had enjoying the wonderful weather. Only once sat at home and about to start a film did I realise my wedding band had come off my fingers. A small breakdown and copious amounts of anxiety ensued and the following morning, frantic messages to social media were posted. A kindly neighbour posted about Steve the ring finders and I called him up. Despite it being July the 4th he kindly agreed to meet that evening due to time being of the essence.

We met at 10 pm once all the fireworks had died down, and Steve got to work. He was meticulous and methodical and to my utter amazement, he found my band. Need to mention again this was all in the PITCH DARK. I was amazed, and I honestly can speak highly enough of both Steve and his work. He’s a true gentleman and very skilled. I sit here typing this testimonial with not only my ring on my finger, but a smile on my face. Steve, you legend.

Nick

Very friendly and quick to respond. In 20 minutes, he found it. He’s amazing!

testimonial for Craig Marten (2022)

“While playing w my 4 yo daughter at Hallandale Beach, I noticed I lost my wedding band in The water. I returned later that Monday night as the tide was low to see if I could locate it. Nothing.

By Wednesday, I was losing hope and was praying someone found it and posted it online. That’s how I found The Ring Finders. I contacted Craig and he made time in his schedule to look Friday.

Very friendly and quick to respond.

In 20 minutes, he found it. He’s amazing!

Just incredible.

Thank you again so much Craig!”

I would highly recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in dire straits, on your hands and knees, desperately searching for your lost jewelry.”

testimonial for Steve Smith (2022)

“It was the Fourth of July, and as I sat back in beach chair I came to the realization that my 1 month old wedding ring was gone. I spent the next hour searching the sand in the immediate area to no avail. A google search for metal detecting services led me to Steve, who would turn out to be my savior.

A quick text and Steve was on his way to keep me out of the doghouse. Steve was polite, prompt, and found my ring in less than five minutes (realistically probably less than two minutes). I was ecstatic. I could not have asked for a better solution. Steve and I ruminated on lost jewelry and surfing, and then went our separate ways. I would highly recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in dire straits, on your hands and knees, desperately searching for your lost jewelry.”

Best,

Brock

Chuck saved the day and I am incredibly grateful to him...

testimonial for Chuck Raison (2022)

My family and I drove to Higgins Lake (Michigan) for a beach day. While playing catch with a football in South Higgins Lake, I lost my engagement ring. The beach area is large but the water depth is around 3ft. We tried to look for the ring but failed. Once we got back to our cabin, I created a post on Facebook about the lost ring. I stumbled upon Ring Finders and as luck would have it, I found Chuck Raison's contact information. I texted him a little before 6pm on July 3rd and he responded immediately. He drove two hours to meet me at South Higgins Lake! When Chuck arrived, we walked out to the area where I thought I lost it. In about 20 minutes, Chuck had found my ring! It was a miracle! I thought all hope was lost but Chuck saved the day and I am incredibly grateful to him for his help and willingness to try.

Eva Y.

If you are ever in need of his service, Do not hesitate. I cannot recommend him enough. Make the call! It will be worth it.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2022)

To say I am grateful for the side-job this man does is an understatement. I was literally 14 days away from getting married and at the beach celebrating with my friends.

We had a great day by the water and decided to go wash the sand off from the day. Against my better judgement l, I walked into the ocean with my ring on. I knew better, but we all make mistakes. I walked into the ocean with my fiancé's grandmothers diamond on that she brought from Germany with her when her family immigrated to the US... Even though we have ring insurance, the diamond on this ring is irreplaceable.

Long story short, I lost my ring in the ocean. Thankfully, I was only a few feet deep. I was devastated to call my fiance and tell him. While I was biting the bullet, my friend had the bright idea to search social media to find help and she was referred to Dave's page. And thank the good Lord she was. I called him the next day and bless his soul he came out to our condo at 7AM on July 4th!! Who does that?!?!

A great man is who! I told him about where I thought I lost it and after a short joke or 2 at my expense he got to work. I lost my ring almost 48 hrs ago and he found it in less than 1 hour! 1 hour!! I was truly blessed to have been put in contact with him! Not only does he provide an amazing service, he is a genuinely grateful guy.

I am from Mississippi and was raised on "stranger danger". I never once got that vibe. In fact, in the hour I met him, I thanked him for being a decent human and thanked his wife for allowing him to come to spend part of their holiday making my wedding day a HUGE success.

If you are ever in need of his service, Do not hesitate. I cannot recommend him enough. Make the call! It will be worth it.

Dave, You are the reason I will have a nice wedding. When I told my fiance about your service he said "let's do it so you have peace of mind you did everything possible to find it." His words were "you will love me on our wedding day but you won't fully enjoy it without the ring". He knew.

He supported it but wasn't optimistic and when I called him to tell him you found it, he laughed with excitement. He was overjoyed for so many reasons. That I would enjoy our wedding day, that I didn't lose a family heirloom and most importantly you found his/my ring in an ocean!!

Thank you again for finding the ring! We are all in awe of your dedication and talent!

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

Hi John. It's Teri. Thank you again for finding the ring! We are all in awe of your dedication and talent! Here is the back story to help you... My son, Patch, was digging in the sand and decided to take off his grandfather's WWII ring. He put it in the cup holder of a beach chair for safe keeping. Unknowingly his cousin, Cameron, packed up the chair and went to the water to clean up beach toys with the chair on her back. When we realized the ring had fallen out before leaving the beach, my whole family did a mad search in the sand. We figured if it was in the water, it was lost forever. I resigned myself to the prospect that the ring was lost at sea where my father's ashes were spread. My dad was a Merchant Marine and always had a love of the sea, so it seemed a fitting place, although it was a tough loss especially for my son. That evening I thought I might put it out there on Facebook. It was a Longshot, but thought it couldn't hurt. Almost immediately people were commenting about John, the ring finder...

He is an Angel and I am so happy I got to thank him in person.

testimonial for Steve Smith (2022)

Hello!

He found my Wedding Ring AND band on the Beach! Steve was absolutely amazing!! My husband came across his page on "The Knot" and I am so happy I did! I went to the beach late at night and in the morning my ring came off my hand it was gone. I was devastated especially because we just got married a month ago.. I texted steve and he got back to me within minutes. I described where I was on the beach and within 30 minutes he took a selfie on the beach of where I was and he got to work. He kept me updated and I am so happy he did. Then he found my rings! It was an absolute miracle and I am forever debted to this man. The amazing part is he even came to my home and dropped it off in Torrance which he did not need to do. He is an Angel and I am so happy I got to thank him in person. I hope this does not happen to you but if it does, Steve is the man to call!

Thank you again! You are the best!!

I'm really beside myself with the level of dedication he has to helping people...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

"I was out in the yard playing with my dog - somehow my wedding band flew off of my finger and disappeared into the grass. I felt it immediately and marked the area where I was standing in and began searching. An hour later I had bought a metal detector and spent the next two hours searching in and around the area in question. I ended up finding THE RING FINDERS and specifically Brian and left him a voicemail and a text message. He called back within an hour, let me know he was on another search, and if I was okay with it he'd be over the same night. He showed up at 10:30pm, set up his gear within 10 minutes and found the ring within 2 minutes, making my absolute day! I had spent the last 2 hours outside with a black light and a flash light scanning everything. I'm really beside myself with the level of dedication he has to helping people overcome potentially losing something so impactful. He ended our initial conversation with "I will find you're ring, and you'll be wearing it tonight" and said it with such confidence that I actually hoped to believe him. Hope wasn't necessary. Brian - good for you on being dedicated to your craft. I will refer you to anyone who needs you."

It was such a relief and we can't thank Jonathan enough!

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2022)

I couldn't believe that after 44 years I had actually lost my wedding ring. I thought I lost it either somewhere outside my office or at the gas station. My wife and I searched everywhere with no success. I felt just terrible about it.

As soon-to-be newlyweds with very little money in 1978, the ring was not particularly expensive, but the sentimental value was immeasurable.

I asked Jonathan Hamill for his help. He brought his equipment and within a few minutes he had found my ring in the grass outside my office! We couldn't believe it. I know we looked in that area before, but the ring just blended right in and we had overlooked it.

We were absolutely thrilled when Jonathan walked into the office holding my ring! There were a lot of hugs and some happy tears from everyone in the office, especially my wife!

It was such a relief and we can't thank Jonathan enough!

Cannot recommend John more. If you ever lose anything on the beach or even in shallow water give him a call

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

John met my wife within an hour of calling him and he found her rings that we thought were lost in the sand forever. Cannot recommend John more. If you ever lose anything on the beach or even in shallow water give him a call.

I could do nothing but shout, dance and thank God for you Brian! You are truly the best!"

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

"I have to first give praise to God for the blessing of meeting Brian. I was praying for the recovery of my Range Rover key when I decided to google this random number I came across which was Brian who specializes in the recovery of lost items. Brian was so nice and pleasant and he had told me to look at his reviews. Once I did check out his testimonials online, I had full confidence in him on the recovery of my key that was missing for nearly 4 weeks. Just when I was about to throw in the towel and spend $600 on a replacement fob, Brian came back in with the key after spending so much time searching on the outside and inside of the house! But to God be the glory, just when all hope failed, Brian had the key in his hand! I could do nothing but shout, dance and thank God for you Brian! You are truly the best!"

Strongly recommend Chris for any jewelry you may have lost...

Found Chris online when I lost my wedding ring on a beach. Chris picked up immediately and showed instant investment in getting my ring back.

Sure enough, Chris did find my ring the next day which was surprising. Strongly recommend Chris for any jewelry you may have lost in the lower mainland. The man knew his stuff and was very kind and professional. Thank you.

I can’t overstate Luke’s efficiency and professionalism – he found the ring...

testimonial for Luke Schlining (2022)

Luke is better than advertised. He graciously offered to come over on his day off and was over 90 minutes after we reached out, despite being an hour drive away.

I can’t overstate Luke’s efficiency and professionalism – he found the ring in an area I thought I had previously scoured. Luke should be the first call for any lost metal item.

He is the best and highly recommend him...

I can't thank you enough, Steve!

testimonial for Steven Ray (2022)

Steve and his sidekick, Justin, are amazingly wonderful! I lost my mother's diamond wedding ring in the surf on Topsail while fishing.

My boyfriend posted on a local metal detecting page, asking for help. They IMMEDIATELY sprung into action! Literally, within 10 minutes of arriving at the beach, Steve located it! I had been absolutely devastated at the thought of losing that ring!

My father gave it to me after my mom's passing. She'd worn it for the 54 years they were married and I'd always loved it. Thanks to Steve, it's back on my finger! (But I'll never wear it to the beach again!) I can't thank you enough, Steve!

BLESS YOU and the work you do, Steve Smith...

testimonial for Steve Smith (2022)

My daughter lost her wedding rings at Huntington Beach Monday night. We dug for over 4 hours with no luck. We ended up going home long after the sun had gone down, defeated, sore from digging and crying. As I was about to sleep, I Googled “what to do when you lose your ring at the beach” and I came across the RingFinders website. At first I was going to dismiss the option because the initial testimonials were from North Carolina/east coast area, but I did eventually see there were services in Southern California. I decided to call in the morning (now I know to call ASAP, meaning *immediately* even if it’s 11 p.m.). I texted Mr. Smith the next (mid) morning and after some who/what/when/where questions and info, he was on the hunt for the rings. I honestly was not optimistic because there were 4 of us looking for over 4 hours, digging digging digging with zero luck, but I just had to try because the rings have such deep sentimental value. The rings were my engagement/wedding rings from my husband who passed away in 2016, and I had just recently resized them for my daughter. My daughter and son-in-law (who is a Marine) decided to have a quick civil ceremony due to his military schedule not being amenable to planning the wedding they want anytime in the near future. I offered them my wedding rings for the civil ceremony since my daughter would inherit them eventually anyway. They had just gotten married the Friday before. 11 minutes. Upon arriving at the lifeguard station where the rings were last seen, Mr. Smith found the rings in 11 minutes. I can’t begin to put into words all the motions that engulfed me as soon as I saw the text: “I found your rings” with the subsequent pictures of the actual rings in the sand. BLESS YOU and the work you do, Steve Smith. Not many people know about this site, but they will now! I’m telling anyone and everyone this story and about this service!

God is great and he works in mysterious ways!! Thank you so much Jim! God bless you.

testimonial for Jim Wren (2022)

im, I can’t thank you enough for finding my wedding ring! I watched it slide off of my finger and drop into the ocean and immediately dove down but had no luck.

Pretty quickly we had 11 people from my family combing the ocean and beach but we couldn’t find it. Kim called and you came over within an hour. My sons were amazed at your approach.

After you left I thought about my mom’s prayers. She said Lord if it’s your will, wouldn’t it glorify you if we had a miracle. She was half joking when she said Lord wouldn’t it be great if a bird delivered the ring to us.

I’m still mind blown thinking about you saying I’m Jim. My last name is Wren like the bird…. That is the honest truth!! God is great and he works in mysterious ways!! Thank you so much Jim! God bless you. Jeff

I highly recommend Brendon, and the others who helped me find him…The Ring Finders site

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2022)

Brendan’s willingness and promptness to drive more than an hour to the site, through traffic (valley folks heading to the beach for cooler temps in addition to afternoon traffic) his detective skills and tools, and most importantly his kindness and generosity of time and effort with no guarantees of success. The ring was lost the afternoon before. Thankfully we were able to bless him for his efforts, skills, time and gas. I enjoyed our visit as we waited for Hilary and Fernandes to arrive after their works, to thank him in person . I highly recommend Brendon, and the others who helped me find him…The Ring Finders site, Marshall, and Jes.

Thanks so much, highly recommended.

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

Super lucky to have had such a quick response from you! So friendly and helpful, I was grateful to have my phone and wallet found after less than 30 min on an entire beach!! Thanks so much, highly recommended.

I am very happy and extremely grateful to Denis, he is a true professional!

testimonial for Denis Korzun (2022)

Had a vacation in the Dominican Republic. On the third day on the beach a wave hit my back and I lost a ring that my father gave me. We asked for assistance from Denis on this website. They answered me, and after 3 hours I was already at the beach. The waves were big, which made the ring pretty hard to find. Denis searched for 40 minutes, and eventually showed me my ring in his hands. I am very happy and extremely grateful to Denis, he is a true professional!

I will forever be grateful for Jim! After realizing I lost my engagement and wedding band, my husband took action and googled ring finders. Luckily for us, we came across Jim Wren. As soon as we called him, he immediately drop what he was doing to come to the rescue. I really appreciate this, especially during a stressful situation. Jim asked us a few questions and gave us and ETA. He arrived early, was helpful, and very friendly. After just 2 minutes of searching, he gave me a look, and began scooping the sand. Sure enough he found my engagement ring then shortly after my wedding band! I had faith that Jim would find both my rings and he did! I will forever be grateful for him! I highly recommend Jim to everyone who looses jewelry at the beach.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for returning that to me.

testimonial for Stephane Philippe (2022)

To Stephane and Eric,

Thank you very much for finding my ring. It holds much sentimental value to me. As my son is so young, and as I have no intention of missing his formative years I am currently unable to travel as extensively as I would like. This ring, a souvenir brought back from Cappadocia by my younger brother, represents my ability to travel vicariously.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for returning that to me.

Most sincerely,

Rainer A. Roberts

Ed came through in a big, big way! Cannot recommend him enough.

testimonial for Edward Duffey (2022)

"My husband lost his wedding band in the ocean (Nags Head, NC) where the waves break earlier this week. 24 hours later, I was referred to Ed Duffy. I thought it was a long shot, especially being the next day but decided it was worth a try. Ed came right out on the beach within 30 minutes of me calling him. It wasn’t 30 minutes after he had arrived on the beach that he found the ring - in the waves, buried about 10” deep in the sand! Needless to say we were all shocked and thrilled! We thought his ring was certainly lost in the ocean for good but Ed came through in a big, big way! Cannot recommend him enough."

I really appreciate the massive effort that Chris put into finding the cross...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

The cross that I lost was my grandfather’s, who was my namesake, therefore it was of extreme sentimental value. I really appreciate the massive effort that Chris put into finding the cross, he was determined to find it and was digging under the confined structure for hours until he finally found it. Thanks Chris for retrieving the cross, now I can continue to pass down this family heirloom to my future children and grandchildren.

Many Thanks!

We are so thankful for Adam and we are elated to know that there are still great people in the world!

testimonial for Adam Greenburg (2022)

During Memorial Day Weekend, Me, my Brother and his kids, and my mom all went to the beach for some Sunday fun..After taking a quick dip in the ocean before leaving the beach, I looked down and saw that the worse thing that could ever happened had happened! My ring was missing! A Newlywed’s worse nightmare!!

Me and my mom couldn’t sleep that night, we even tried waking up early the next morning and purchased a medal detector lol After spending hours on the beach and almost giving up. That’s when I googled “Ring Finders near me” or “Help I lost my ring in the sand” and I came across Adam!

After reaching out, Adam responded swiftly and of course he came to the rescue! The very next morning, Adam met my mom at the spot and eventually Adam was able to find the ring for me! We are so thankful for Adam and we are elated to know that there are still great people in the world! Thank you again Adam! ????????

Look no further than John Favano metal detection.

testimonial for John Favano (2022)

I called John after losing my wedding ring in the sand 4-5 hours prior. He told me that he would be at my location within 1.5 hours and arrived even faster than his stated time. I could tell by his confidence that we we going to find my ring and that is exactly what happened.

Within two minutes of getting to the approximate location, John used his metal detector equipment and bucket to pull the ring from the grips of the deep sand. Look no further than John Favano metal detection.

I am so grateful for Stan. Thank You!!

testimonial for Stan Ross (2022)

The stars aligned for me at Newport Beach today. I dropped my wedding rings in the sand. I though I knew the area where they’d fallen but didn’t want to disturb the sand. While I was figuring what to do the family next to me told us about the “Metal Detector Man” who found their missing ring. I contacted him Stan and he quickly came. He found my rings in less than a minute. I am so grateful for Stan. Thank You!!

Thank you So much Ron!

testimonial for Ron Forster (2022)

Dear Ron,

I lost a very special gold necklace and medallion (given to me over 60 years ago) while looking after my son’s dog. So, I really wasn’t sure where I lost it…in my backyard or on her walks. But, I decided to call Ron Forster. Ron responded as soon as I called him. Sure enough, Ron was able to locate it in my back yard! I could not believe it! It truly brought me to tears! Thank you So much Ron!

Sincerely, Barb B.

From beginning to end, Dave was incredible and I am forever grateful my mom found his information.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2022)

I wish I could find the words to explain how grateful I am for Dave and his wife. He answered the phone at 7am and managed to make me believe right off the bat that I made the right decision to trust him to find my ring. When we got to the beach I really didn’t know what to expect, especially because my husband and I couldn’t remember exactly where we were when I lost it and the tide had risen significantly in that area but after an hour of searching with nothing I texted my mom and said “I’m starting to lose faith” and I said one last prayer and told myself to be content no matter the circumstance or outcome. Literally 30 seconds later Dave starts walking towards us, and by the grace of God he had found my ring. Needless to say, I was in disbelief. From beginning to end, Dave was incredible and I am forever grateful my mom found his information. This is definitely an experience I’ll never forget!

testimonial for Stan Ross (2022)

I lost my ring at the beach on Wednesday and looked for a couple hours and had to leave and were so discouraged. We reached out to Stan on Saturday (4 days later) and met him out on the sand. He assured us he was the best and if it was out there he would find it. Sure enough he started looking and I kid you not, he found it in about 45 seconds!!! We were absolutely blown away and are thankful that we got in touch with Stan. If you’ve lost any sort of jewelry it is definitely worth it to give him a call!

testimonial for Keith Wille (2022)

Keith Wille came to my family's house to uncover hidden treasure. Once we completed the assignment, Keith's natural curiosity asked if he could see my father's other hiding places. I shared with him the kitchen pantry, and told him my dad's letter said: "he took it out." Also, I had looked there myself with a step stool and didn't find anything. Within a matter of minutes, Keith handed me a small neatly folded silver foil packet and I opened it. To my surprise, there was $1,000.00 cash - 10 $100 bills. I told Keith, I would have never found that money, many thanks.

Jeronimo was our hero!

testimonial for Jeronimo Barrera (2022)

Jeronimo Barrera – Brilliant Expert, Great Guy

Jeronimo! Jeronimo! Jeronimo! I chanted after 4 hours of exhaustive search. Jeronimo, my husband and I had been looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack… a diamond earring that I lost somewhere between 2 acres of park and the parking lot when running after my toddler at his “soccer practice” one Saturday afternoon.

I was not willing to accept losing this earring as it was a gift from my siblings on my 30th birthday with strong sentimental value. I wear them every day and have screwbacks to ensure they would never fall out.??When I realized that I had lost the earring on the way home from the park, I immediately returned to it and remained there on my hands and knees scouring the grounds for hours. When my search failed, we borrowed a friend’s metal detector but the metal on the back of my earring was too insignificant to be detected by the device. My husband then dropped me home with the kids to put them to bed and returned to the park on his own with various flashlights to try and catch a glimmer… still nothing. Yet I was resolved to find it. But, at this point, I knew we needed an expert. ??When I found Jeronimo Barrera through the Ring Finders website, I knew that if anyone would be able to find this earring, it would be Jeronimo. Jeronimo’s search started during our first call. He asked that I send him pictures of the one earring still in my possession to determine whether his new “state of the art” machine would be able to pick up the signal. If any device would be able to do it, it would be this machine, he assured me. Upon review of my photos, Jeronimo confirmed that his machine was up for the task, as was he. We made a date to meet the following day.??Our search spanned an entire afternoon (which I believe was longer than Jeronimo had to spare that day) and every step of the way, Jeronimo methodically combed the field pursuing the clues my husband and I provided. Jeronimo also continually reassured us that while this was a particularly difficult search given the VERY large area, we would find the earring if it was indeed within the large perimeter we had outlined. Jeronimo also assured that we need not revisit any zone he had been over—an inclination that is hard to combat--as we could trust he had meticulously searched it. As you spend time with Jeronimo, you come to realize you can and should trust what he advises. Indeed, it was Jeronimo’s confidence and expert craft that led us full circle near our starting point after an exhaustive search of the entire canvas for 4 hours. ??I was close to giving up hope but Jeronimo insisted that I give him the sequence of events again. Like a first grade detective collecting clues, Jeronimo pieced together the case and zoned in on an area near where we began but had not yet searched… and hurrah! There it was, sparkling in the waning sunlight, my diamond studded earring. Jeronimo was our hero!

Thank you Brendon for finding the ring which will allow it to continue being passed down for generations.

testimonial for Brendon Chapman (2022)

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.

We are BEYOND blessed to have met you and so thankful that you found our ring!

Ray!! You’re a godsend. Thank you so much for your patience and tenacity in finding my earring.

I know it is not the most precious item you’ve ever found - but it is seriously sentimental to me since it’s the first really nice piece of jewelry I bought myself and a sort of symbol of success. Anyway - you saved our trip. We were feeling so sad about losing it and your eagle eye and determination really were amazing.

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

"Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made me feel calm right away and confident that he would be able to retrieve my ring. He showed up the same afternoon I called and worked quickly and efficiently, while still being so friendly and kind to our family (especially my kids who thought meeting a real life treasure hunter was the coolest thing ever!). I’m so grateful I contacted him and didn’t spend days worrying and fruitlessly searching. He’s a professional and an expert. Save yourself the time and the stress and call Brian!"

Chris is a super nice guy. I am so glad that I had called him...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2022)

I already accepted the fact that I have lost my wedding band, but then I learned about Chris and decided to give him a call. I explained to him all the places I could have lost my ring, and despite the chances, he still offered to help me do a closure search of the beach. He only asked me to cover his travel expenses and immediately met up with me at the beach. I sat hopelessly as he searched. Next, he stopped to asks me more questions regarding the ring and as I was talking, he slowly revealed my ring! Even after finding my ring, he would not take more than what I could afford. Chris is a super nice guy. I am so glad that I had called him. He loves his job very much. Do not be afraid to give him a call. Thank you again for your help!

Thank you again!

Kind regards,

Leo

He was very kind and patient. We found the ring in less than an hour!

He is a master of his craft and even a better citizen...

testimonial for Stan Ross (2022)

STAN - the literal METAL MAN! My Fiancé’s engagement ring fell off at Santa Monica Beach as we were leaving late in the evening. We, along with friends, immediately searched in the dark to no avail.

We decided to secretly mark the spot, leave, and get up early the following day to the beach by 5:30am to look again (and beat the tractors from covering the lost ring area). We considered renting a metal detector (or buying one and returning it) but the models the stores offered seemed cheap and unstable. So we sifted sand …unsurprisingly- still no luck.

BUT, we found Stan and called him before the sun even rose. He answered immediately and said he was on his way! He must have left, literally right away, because he showed up in less time than we even thought. Fully geared on arrival, he told us “he’d do his best.”

Well…he did, and the ring was found in less than 5 minutes. Seeing him work, and his equipment- I wouldn’t even consider renting my own detector or sift sand again. He is a master of his craft and even a better citizen (you can tell he does it just for the enjoyment).

As he sifted some sand from a spot, he ask us to describe the ring in detail - so we did- and then he pulls out a ring from the sifter and goes”is this it”?” OF COURSE IT WAS (and I could tell he knew it was too).

Seriously, if you lose anything like jewelry, or other metals in the beach: mark out the spot, stay there ( stay calm) - and call Stan. You are in amazing hands and couldn’t have met a nicer guy.

I highly recommend contacting Brian if a loved item of yours is lost - he'll find it...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

When my husband and I got married, we were surprised and dismayed to find that my wedding band had gone missing right before our ceremony! We didn't let it ruin our day, but we decided we had to find my ring, and I found Brian.

From the moment I sent him a message, he was upbeat, friendly and as interested as we were to find my ring! I felt like I could absolutely trust Brian with the search and was relieved to not have to worry anymore about what happened to it.

Sure enough, Brian found it! I'm so happy and relieved that my wedding band is now on my finger and it's now a funny story we can tell instead of an unsolved mystery. I highly recommend contacting Brian if a loved item of yours is lost - he'll find it with a positive and open attitude!

testimonial for Stan Ross (2022)

My husband lost his wedding ring at the beach and the two of us searched for hours with no luck. We were both ready to cut our losses and I found Stan online. He was very responsive and helped us right away. We met him in the area and he found the ring in 3 minutes! We were in complete disbelief. I would recommend Stan to anyone who lost something. He took a very sad moment and made it amazing!

Stan is definitely the man! I’m so happy he found my ring and would recommend his services to anyone!!

testimonial for Stan Ross (2022)

Stan is amazing!! I lost my wedding ring while playing football with my husband. The ball hit my finger and the ring flew off. We spent hours search for it; random strangers kept helping; a lady prayed for us; my husband even went to the store and bought a metal detectorNothing worked! The lifeguard suggested we google metal detector services. We found Stan. I called him that night after we have given up looking as it was dark now, thinking all was lost. He answered immediately and was super friendly and assured me he would do his best to find my ring. I texted him a picture of roughly the area we think we lost it on the beach. Stan went the very next morning (as it was dark when I called him) and found my ring within an hour of searching! He then met me right away and returned the ring to me. Stan is definitely the man! I’m so happy he found my ring and would recommend his services to anyone!! Thank you. Stan! :)

Highly recommended! My wife lost her wedding ring in the sand on Balboa Penesula. Feeling helpless, we found the Metal Detector Man online, and Stan arrived in a jiffy! He found the ring within minutes, and we couldn’t be more grateful! Stan is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and a true asset to the OC beach community.

Dave is so kind and compassionate, he truly loves helping others find their lost items.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2022)

Thank you Dave for your commitment! I heard about him through other Aggies, and sure enough he answers the phone and immediately takes the job telling me his daughter is considering going to Texas A&M. I could hear the excitement in his voice when I said I go to A&M! He was so willing to come the very next day to help me, with no hesitation. He came in his work clothes and took time out of his workday to get me my aggie ring back. In just under an hour he found it and I was sincerely grateful to him. Dave is so kind and compassionate, he truly loves helping others find their lost items. I recommend him to anyone who is in desperate need of a tool to help them find their lost valuables. Don’t rent a metal detector, call Dave because he knows what he is doing! Gig ‘em

I am very grateful to Raymond for his fast response, willingness to brave the ice cold waters, and determination in searching for my ring.

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2022)

Raymond was a pleasure to work with in finding my ring. He responded to my messages almost immediately, and we were able to coordinate our trip out to Shenandoah within a single working day; which was a massive relief to me (since I, like Raymond, was somewhat concerned about how long it would stay in that section of the stream before getting washed away).

I was less concerned than Raymond about the problem of metal detecting in the State Park, as I was fairly certain that the location I lost it was outside of the State’s property. That said, it was still quite comforting to know that I was working with someone who makes sure to keep his metal detecting professional, and by the book.

When we got to the stream, Raymond seemed fairly confident that he’d be able to find the ring, and so I didn’t lose hope during the search. (To be clear, Raymond did not promise that he would find my ring, as he does not make promises that he cannot keep.)

That said, I did feel a bit helpless at times, since my suggestions about where the ring might have landed all proved to be incorrect.

There were many emotional ups and downs as I sat on the bank watching Raymond search. Every time he would get a hit on some piece of metal, I would get my hopes up, only for it to be a piece of trash. I understand that that is the nature of metal detecting, but it did leave me feeling somewhat helpless throughout the search.

Nevertheless, I had faith that Raymond would be able to find the ring, and, well, he did.

I am very grateful to Raymond for his fast response, willingness to brave the ice cold waters, and determination in searching for my ring.

Thank you Raymond, and God Bless.

His knowledge about this area of expertise is beyond anything I even knew existed...

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2022)

Newly engaged, moved into a new house under renovation, inevitably I had lost my ring. It means everything to me so I knew I had at least put it somewhere "safe" and didn't completely lose it, it had to be in the house.

After spending an exhausting & discouraging amount of my free time searching high and low in bags and boxes and anywhere I could think of, I laid awake in bed one night with a pondering technology/metal detectors, there had to be something/someone who can "dial in" to this scenario and help me uncover this platinum diamond ring.

I was previously under the impression that metal detectors were reserved specifically for your typical beach/grass/dirt environment (not a house full of other metal objects).

I took a leap of faith and reached out and I think it's safe to say that was the second happiest day of my life (the first being the engagement itself).

Jonathan called me right away and asked a variety of impressive & specific questions all the while offering his total support with confidence and compassion.

We scheduled a time for him to come out to the house, he was punctual, professional, kind and seemingly just as determined as I was to find it.

He made me feel incredibly comfortable. Without judgement, we inspected areas and sorted thru things I never would have imagined myself doing with a total stranger.

His knowledge about this area of expertise is beyond anything I even knew existed, my fiance and I still joke about the "ghostbusters" style of him showing up with devices we'd never seen and promptly, but casually, accomplishing the mission!

I honestly think we were just as happy that day as we were on the day that he proposed to me, all thanks to Jonathan.

It was an unbelievably joyful experience working with you and we both absolutely love telling the story to anyone interested.

Still not sure exactly how you did it because the physics is WAY over my head but I am forever in awe, truly eternally grateful for your genuine help that day.

The effort that he put into finding my ring was both astonishing and impressive. I couldn't be happier with his work...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

“Brian's diligence and professionalism cannot be compared to when dealing with such sensitive items as my wedding band. The effort that he put into finding my ring was both astonishing and impressive. I couldn't be happier with his work. Additionally, Brian is an extremely friendly man who makes the entire experience all the better.”

I googled searched while walking on the beach and Stan the ring finder came up. I called him and he was amazing!

testimonial for Stan Ross (2022)

An incredible story….

My husband lost his watch in Emerald Bay. The watch was very special to him as he bought it for himself as a reward for selling his first company. We walked the beach for hours looking for the watch, along with employees of emerald bay. I googled searched while walking on the beach and Stan the ring finder came up. I called him and he was amazing! He came right away and met me in the beach and found it in 5 minutes. He was kind and brilliant at what he does! So happy. Thank you so much.

Cindy and I cannot thank you enough and we will recommend you every time...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

“As I saw my wedding band fly off my finger, I got that feeling of dread you get when you know that this isn't good. It was snowing and I was taking my dog for a late afternoon walk. She did what “she had to do” and as I took off my left glove to better manipulate the bag to pick up the waste, my wedding band flew off. I started to panic and began digging around with my hands in the snow and dirt. I brought the pup back to the house and told my wife that my wedding band was lost. I went back to look around some more and was joined by my wife. The snow was heavier, it was dark and now colder. We walked back to the house and I was devastated.

My wife who was thinking clearly did a search and found theringfinders.com website plugged in our Baltimore zip code and found Brian Rudolph. Although it was late, I sent a text and within minutes I had a call from Brian. His good humor and positive demeanor sold me right away that this was a man who loved his job and loved reuniting folks with their lost items. Whether it's an expensive wedding band or a sentimental piece of costume jewelry he will find it.

He came up to Baltimore Monday afternoon (in the snow) and we walked the area. He noticed a fence and calculated the coil he would need to block out that noise (this is an entirely new world to me). He went to his car, geared up and after two "pings" that were beneath the surface, Brian found my wedding band! I was ecstatic, and you know what? So was Brian! He was thrilled that he was able to find the ring that my wife put on my finger in December 2008!

Not only did I find a professional who did what he claimed he would do, I also found a friend. Cindy and I cannot thank you enough and we will recommend you every time a situation arises that you can be of service. Absolutely!”

I highly recommend giving Jonathan a call if you have lost something of immense value….he is your guy!!

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2022)

After days of looking on my own to no avail, I am beyond elated and grateful to Jonathan Hamill for finding my diamond stud earring. It was one of the first gifts my husband had surprised me with and something I held close to my heart.

Ironically, it was lost in the snow on Valentine’s Day. Even more disheartening and puzzling was that I was not exactly certain where it fell out. We have quite a long driveway and I had been shoveling for more than an hour when I noticed the earring was missing.

Was it in the driveway? The yard? The house? After scouring the driveway for hours on end, and even going as far as to melt and sift through mounds of snow (not to mention tearing apart the house), I had pretty much given up on the search.

My step-daughter sent me the link to The Ring Finders, and, within minutes of texting Jonathan, he got back to me right away setting up a time to come out.

Testing my other earring for a read on his magical metal detector, he got to work. Less than half an hour later he asks me to come outside…..he had located the stud frozen in a patch of ice!

I was over the moon thrilled…..so immensely grateful to Jonathan and his savvy detective metal detector skills! I highly recommend giving Jonathan a call if you have lost something of immense value….he is your guy!!

I HIGHLY recommend Jonathan if you need someone to save the day!

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2022)

I received a panicked phone call from my husband yesterday morning telling me he lost his wedding ring in the snow covered parking lot getting his morning coffee. I packed up the baby, and headed out to the lot where we searched for what felt like hours, with no ring in sight! After returning home and trying to brainstorm on what to do, I desperately typed into Google “Michigan Ring Finders” and came across Jonathan Hamill. What luck! I had no idea this service existed! Jonathan’s response was immediate, and he showed up to the lot only a couple hours later. In a matter of minutes.. he found the ring!!! And my husbands life was saved! Thank you Jonathan!!! What an excellent service that truly helps people in the most desperate of times. I HIGHLY recommend Jonathan if you need someone to save the day!

"Brian was amazing! I am so glad my friend found him on THE RING FINDERS website. From the minute we spoke he was optimistic that he was going to find my lost wedding ring. He never gave up hope.

highly recommend calling The Ring Finders. Brian...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

“I cannot more highly recommend calling The Ring Finders. Brian, thank you so much for bringing your holiday magic to my house. I lost my wedding band off of my back deck three weeks ago and had almost given up on getting it back. We had spent hours looking for it and were broken hearted. You gave me hope from the first phone call and your positivity made me believe it would be found. You were out the next day and found it so quickly. It almost felt like a magic trick. I can’t thank you enough.”

Call Brian and he will definitely work miracles for you cause...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

"This guy Brian is no ordinary ring finder! I ain't met anyone quite like him, ever! He came far out to find my daddy's ring that I got after he died. It’s just about all I got left of him. I was so upset when it got lost in my car. I didn’t know what to think. Wasn't sure what happened to it when I could not find it for 6 months. The car crash happened and I still couldn’t find it. So, I tore it up badly cause I only had a few days before the insurance company was going to trash it. Brian is crazy! A real pro at finding the impossible without giving up! He rolled in and said if my ring was still in the car he would find it for me and he sure did! I still can’t really believe it. I thought he was putting me on when he said he found it with his snake! I swear the car was going to be taken like in the next day or something like that! This guy saved my ring from the compactor! Call Brian and he will definitely work miracles for you cause he believes strong in God too. Thanks man, I ain’t gonna forget what you brought back to me!"

testimonial for Evan Cappon (2022)

Evan, I cannot thank you enough for all your efforts to help me recover my ring. Without fully knowing where it wasn’t (especially considering the freshly-fallen snow), I would never have thought to start the search over again within my own home. Fan for life here.

We will forever lift you in prayer for God's Grace and Mercy...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

“Brian, thanks to your wonderful detecting skills and abilities, my spirit has been lifted and my heart has been unburdened. We will forever lift you in prayer for God's Grace and Mercy. Your confidence and reassurance from the time we first spoke over the phone gave me every reason to believe we were going to find my lost earring on our first scan. It was an amazing opportunity for me to bare witness to a person truly dedicated to bringing joy and happiness to others. This will be remembered as one of the best holiday seasons I've experienced since my early childhood. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti!”

Jeff was our ring finding hero!! After losing my engagement ring in our yard days after the proposal, I discovered Jeff through the ring finders website.

We found Brian on The Ring Finders and calling / booking him was the best choice we ever made...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2022)

“When my wife lost her wedding band we were in a panic. After hours of fruitlessly searching we couldn't find it, no matter how long we went over the area where she lost it at. We found Brian on The Ring Finders and calling / booking him was the best choice we ever made. From the very beginning (and until the end) he was unbelievably friendly, respectful, helpful and professional. He put our worries at ease as he put his expertise and mastery of his profession to work. He started in the day and even though day turned to night he never wavered. He said, “I will find your wife's ring no matter how long it takes me”. Sure enough, after hours of searching during the day, he found the ring after another hour of searching in the darkness. Brian and The Ring Finders are the best!”

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2022)

Sally here! We are beyond grateful for Dave! He was professional, caring & helpful from the first phone call, to working out the details, to safely getting the ring back home to us.

my wife April and myself, we thank you Christina for the positive impact you had on our family , you can rest assured we will never forget how wonderful you where to us.

testimonial for Christina McCree (2022)

I honestly came to terms that I would never see my wedding band again. On Tuesday the 18th of January, 2022 while working on a driveway that had flooded I lost my wedding band while shoveling gravel.

My wife and I looked for hours in the bitter cold water to no avail. We honestly had given up hope of seeing it again. I can say that it must have been fate, because I stumbled across theringfinders website, and contacted Christina Mccree.

Just by chance she was returning home from a trip and was less than an hour away from my home. I really didn’t know what to expect when she arrived, I felt as if the ring was simply lost.

After meeting Christina I was truly impressed by her personality, caring demeanor and willingness to help find something so near to my heart.

After searching for a short time and retracing every step I took that day, the ring was found! I was overwhelmed with joy and a little speechless when she found the ring.

If she would not have came that day to my rescue my ring would’ve been lost forever I’m sure. I do not know how to show my appreciation other than to spread the word of how kind and amazing this person was to my wife and I.

The kind caring words and reassurance that she would try her best to find my ring when we first met honestly changed my outlook on the entire day.

The dedication and follow through of searching everywhere and eventually finding what I thought to be gone forever truly shows how skilled, knowledgeable and sympathetic Christina truly is.

So in conclusion from my wife April and myself, we thank you Christina for the positive impact you had on our family , you can rest assured we will never forget how wonderful you where to us.

Thank you so much Luke for saving the day!!Yea

Tim is the man! He did in less than a minute what I had spent hours trying to do. I honestly cried tears of joy when he found my wedding ring. I’m so thankful I found him, and will be recommending his services to any of my family and friends that could need them.

Chris is an amazing man and I am tearing up a little thinking about the kindness he showed while searching for my ring...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

Chris was amazing. He contacted us very soon after we reached out to him. He came out to meet us as soon as he could. His level of care and attention to finding something so small was one of the kindest things I have ever witnessed.

He works on a completely donation basis and only asked that we cover his gas if he was unable to recover the ring.

He worked diligently for over an hour, carefully searching the area in a grid pattern until he eventually found what we were looking for.

Chris is an amazing man and I am tearing up a little thinking about the kindness he showed while searching for my ring. It wasn't fancy or expensive but he knew that the meaning behind this ring is what meant the world to me.

I feel as if I could never repay him for the kindness he showed in helping me recover this important part of my life. I will be forever in his debt.

Thank you again Chris and if there's ever anything I can do to help you out, please don't hesitate to ask!

testimonial for John Snyder (2021)

I lost my wedding band last night while I was searching for my step-dad's hearing aids which he had also lost earlier in the day. My sister, her boyfriend and I had been searching the car feverishly and I slipped off my engagement ring and wedding band in order to fit my hand into a small crevice of the car underneath the front passenger seat that we thought might contain the missing hearing aids. Everything was so chaotic that I unthinkingly put my rings in my pocket; when I checked my pocket next, I was horrified to realize that my wedding band had gone missing.

  After searching the yard and interior of the car for two hours that night we became so exhausted and dejected we decided to go to sleep. We strategized that we would renew the search again the following day with fresh eyes. For six hours the next morning we combed the interior of the vehicle with a vacuum, hoping to locate the ring by examining the contents of the vacuum's chamber. My sister's boyfriend and I got on our hands and knees and methodically searched the front yard. We used a magnifying glass and repeated this process. We borrowed a wide-toothed rake from the neighbor: rinsed and repeated. Out of desperation, we began going door to door asking if anyone had a metal detector we could borrow: no luck.

  By this time we were soaked in sweat, covered with dirt and random detritus from the yard, and completely despondent. I began to think I wouldn't find the ring and decided I needed to call my husband and tell him the bad news. It was then that I began to really feel the full gravity of the loss and lose all hope of recovery. In a last ditch effort, I began to search for rental metal detectors nearby and came across a website titled "ring finders." I was amazed and admittedly a bit incredulous to discover a robust international directory of avid metal detector enthusiasts who professionally recover rings on a "reward basis." After some furious typing I found John Snyder, a retired navy veteran with an impressive number of success stories in his testimonial section.

  Admittedly a bit apprehensive, I decided to take a chance and reached out to him and told him the backstory. He immediately responded and reached the house within probably 30 minutes: it was quite amazing. On arrival, after initial introductions, he promptly began sweeping the yard with the metal detector while I watched, holding my breath. After a few passes with the metal detector (about 10 or 15 minutes), it wasn't looking good. He paused and asked me if this was the only area of the lawn I had traversed and decided to cast a wider net. He bent down after hearing something promising and "WOOSH!" When he straightened back up he had my wedding band in hand.

  It's difficult to accurately describe the elation, relief and sheer gratitude I felt in that moment and will feel for the rest of my life. Although a wedding band is of course just an object, the inextricable memories infused within it render it irreplaceable. I can't thank you enough for such a beautiful act of kindness John!

You are an absolute legend...

testimonial for Pete McGhee (2021)

Thank you so much Pete! You are an absolute legend. We couldn’t be more thankful that the community directed us to you. I drove out to meet you having prepared myself for disappointment, never expecting that you would locate my ring even before we arrived! You should take a lot of pride in what you do and the amazing thing you are able to do for people by reuniting them with lost precious items.

Great human being.

You made my Christmas...

testimonial for Terry Teague (2021)

Super friendly and such a life saver...

testimonial for Sean Kelly (2021)

After my fiancé fought with me about bringing the ring with me on vacation. I was sledding down a hill with my siblings and lost my engagement ring mid storm, I spent 3 days with a metal detector trying to find it myself with no luck, I found a YouTube channel with this website and found Sean. He found it in what seemed like literally under an hour!! He even came at night right before a big storm. Super friendly and such a life saver right before Christmas!! So thankful for him coming out!

Again, thank you for helping my daughter and touching my heart today...

testimonial for Luke Schlining (2021)

I am the proud mom of the very uncoordinated Sam. I want you to know that opal ring on my daughters finger means as much to me as it does her. It is not the ring itself that holds value. It is the young woman whom wears it. She is my pride and joy and my love, respect and admiration for her grows stronger with every passing day. She is a constant reminder of all that I am and encourages me to continue to become more. She is one of my greatest accomplishments and the smile that my heart carries. When she was given the ring it was to remind her of all the above as she is everything I desire to be and I never want her to forget how remarkable she is. Thank you from the deepest depths of my heart for helping my daughter. While a ring is in truth nothing more than a possession with worthless monitory value regardless of it is a dime store purchase or 5 carrot stone from Tiffany’s, the meaning behind said possession is priceless. Again, thank you for helping my daughter and touching my heart today. Your return of her ring brought a moment of reflection on the hustle and bustle of this holiday season, what my daughter means to me and reminder that I have not expressed that enough to her lately. May your Christmas be just as remarkable to you and your family. – All my unwavering appreciation for you help, Krishna.

We would recommend Mark to anyone in a similar situation because losing a ring is never fun...

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2021)

Mark was recommended to us after we lost two wedding rings during a game of volleyball by a lady jogging on the boardwalk. She said something along the lines of “You have to give Mark a call as he will find them within 5 minutes!” (Thank you whoever you are for the fantastic recommendation! We owe you one) At that point we had been searching for well over an hour and it was starting to get dark out. All hope was lost.

I gave Mark a call and fortunately for us he was available and said he would be over within the hour. It was a pleasure to meeting Mark and he certainly lives up to his 51 years of detecting experience. He was kind, professional, and happy to help us out.

Mark found the two rings what seemed like immediately! We were all so grateful and excited he was able to find the two rings so quickly. We would recommend Mark to anyone in a similar situation because losing a ring is never fun. He really saved the day! Thanks again!

I’m so glad that we found Joe!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

Thankful! Paul came on short notice. He was actually traveling home from another successful jewelry find for another one of his clients.

If you’re hesitant to reach out to Paul in the Milwaukee area, don’t be! He is friendly and diligent to provide peace of mind that you did all you could to locate your prized possession. In my instance, he found my ring!

Again, thankful for Paul and his testimony. It was certainly a Divine Appointment.

You are a savior. You are the best, keep doing the good work!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

Joe I cannot thank you enough for finding my ring. Even I was aware that the chances were slim as I lost it 2 days ago. I wanted to give one more shot and was just hoping for a miracle. You were quick to respond and were there at the Waikiki beach within an hour from my 1st call to you. You put time and so much efforts to look for it in the nearby area too. It felt surreal when you scooped my ring from the sand. You are a savior. You are the best, keep doing the good work!

Mahalo Loi noa!

Norm was prompt, professional and courteous. I have my ring back in my hand and I can’t thank him enough...

testimonial for Norm Peters (2021)

I figured there was a good chance that I had scooped up the ring in the snow I brought to the basement. I had made a lot of trips and scooped up a lot of snow (I was wrong). I started to get nervous as I heard the parking lot was going to be plowed that night…and that’s where Norm comes in. If it wasn’t for Norm my ring would have ended up in a giant snow pile and would have had no chance of finding it until the spring. Even if I did find it in the spring (slim chance) there would have been a very good chance it would have been mangled by the plow. Norm was prompt, professional and courteous. I have my ring back in my hand and I can’t thank him enough. Keep up the good work Norm!

But thanks to you, Joe, our honeymoon was not ruined...

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

Joe!! Our absolute savior. You have no idea how much immense relief you brought us upon finding my ring. From right outta the gate I felt comforted! From our initial phone call I could TELL you were a master of your profession. I’m not kidding in the least. I was panicky, tired and literally lost all hope. I still can’t believe to this day how quickly my ring disappeared. But as soon as I heard your voice, full of professional assurance, and underlying confidence I knew, I just KNEW things were going to be ok.

It was absolutely petrifying calling an absolute stranger in the middle of my honeymoon in Hawaii. But thanks to you, Joe, our honeymoon was not ruined. I remember scampering to meet you, my nerves shot and my entire soul and body tense with frustration. When you approached me and said so confidently, this will be fun! I knew I made the right choice! So many affirmations, Joe. You handled our plight with calmness and ease.

And yes, I gladly gave you 250.00 on the spot bc you deserved it. Yes, I had insurance on my ring but I KNOW if we gave up and went that route to get a replacement I would’ve felt like a failure. I’m so glad I went on a damn limb to contact you. Even just from one meeting I can tell you’re passionate about your job, helping others, and just…. Making a impact.

Keep on doing what you’re doing! You’ve helped me tremendously and we both thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Stephane, I cannot thank you enough for coming to my rescue. This ring is so significant to me. My grandparents and their love for each other was such an important part of our lives growing up, we learned about love and dedication, as well as the importance of family from them. This ring was given to me by parents after my grandmother passed and I have treasured it ever since.

It was also so nice to see how much you enjoyed what you do.

Thank you!

Brian Carpenter is incredibly dedicated to helping people find their rings...

testimonial for Brian Carpenter (2021)

Brian Carpenter is incredibly dedicated to helping people find their rings. He travelling 3 hours round trip to my home in inclement weather to search for me. He started immediately upon arrival, and based on my expectations of where my ring may have been lost, was able to use his detector to locate the ring within 20 minutes.

I am blessed to have found a wedding ring that is emotionally irreplaceable, and doubly blessed to have met a kind and caring individual like Brian.

Thank you, Brian !

Mahalo and thanks for your service...

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

Joe, thanks so much for recovering my gold wedding band. I had given up on ever seeing it again. Although I think my location estimate was the more accurate one, all that matters is that you were successful and we became your 237th recovery. Mahalo and thanks for your service as well.

If anyone can find it, Brian would be the guy...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2021)

“I recommend Brian to find any lost jewelry. From the outset, he was very easy to deal with. He knew exactly what he was doing and had a clear plan on how to go about finding the missing jewelry. If anyone can find it, Brian would be the guy.”

I can’t say enough good things about the experience and how kind Fred is!

testimonial for Fred Stedtler (2021)

Fred came out to my house this afternoon after I had lost my wedding and engagement rings. I had tossed a stick to my dog and felt the rings fly off! Although I though I knew where they might be, roughly, I couldn’t find them. I bought a (cheap) metal detector. No luck. I finally found Fred! He came from New Jersey to my home in Lewisboro, NY (near CT). Although it took a long time, mostly because I was wrong about where they would be, he never gave up! I can’t say enough good things about the experience and how kind Fred is! Thank you so much!

Thanks Ray for finding my wedding band!

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2021)

Ray was a pleasure to deal with and a total pro. It seemed like such a daunting task to find a wedding band in that creek, but Ray clearly knows what he’s doing given how quickly he found it. Thanks Ray for finding my wedding band! Take care and best wishes for the future.

Thank you so much Donald!

testimonial for Donald OReilly (2021)

I lost my gold signet ring during my last night in San Juan in late August. I went late night swimming at a beach 15 minutes away from my Airbnb and the next morning I woke up and realized I had all my other rings on except one. However, I had a flight to catch in an hour and I didn’t have time to go back to that beach. But it was the first piece of gold jewelry I ever purchased after working my first full-time job post college graduation so I wasn’t ready to lose all hope in searching for it.

When I arrived back to NYC, I google searched jewelry finders in San Juan and found Donald’s information. I reached out to him and he immediately responded. He went searching for my ring the next 3 days. Unfortunately, because I lost my ring in the water he wasn’t able to locate it and I ultimately accepted that it was probably lost in the ocean forever.

Almost 2 months later in mid October, I receive a text from Donald with incredible news. He had found a ring that day on the beach that matched the description I had sent him. He sent me a photo to confirm and it was in fact my long lost ring! I was completely amazed that he actually found it! He shipped it out to NYC the next day and the following week my little gold ring found its way back to me. Thank you so much Donald!

I was very grateful to Shawn for finding my ring!

testimonial for Shawn Sherrill (2021)

I was very grateful to Shawn for finding my ring! My husband and I had searched for it for several hours, even using a metal detector. Although I had a fairly good idea of where it would be, there was such dense vegetation there that it made searching difficult. Because my ring had fallen on edge in a hole near a root, I don’t think we would have ever found it on our own. Shawn arrived exactly when he said he would, got to work and found my ring! Thanks, Shawn!

We can’t believe you found it . And we are greatful and thankful...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

Where do i start from . Chris I am so grateful and I believe you are truly God sent . After loosing my ring I really felt it was the end and I cried my whole heart out .

I honestly still believe it’s surreal We can’t believe you found it . And we are greatful and thankful . You brought our smile back .??

I would highly recommend Matthew for his experience, professionalism, dedication, friendliness

testimonial for Matthew Harding (2021)

"After a long search in a steady drizzle, Matthew was able to find my wife's ring! It had been lost over a year ago in one of our flower beds and someone else had attempted to find it to no avail. As we were discussing sifting mulch and dirt that was in the middle of a window well as a last-ditch effort, he did one final search nearby, and VOILA! there was the ring! We surprised my wife and got some photos. I would highly recommend Matthew for his experience, professionalism, dedication, friendliness and care, and understanding. He is the kind of person who gives me hope in this world and we are blessed to know him."

Thanks,

He assured me if we could wait, he could find it...

testimonial for John Snyder (2021)

On my birthday, my wife and I made a plan for a small vacation to Sarasota, Florida.

We had a great time, but when coming back from beach, my wife realized she doesn’t have her ring.

She had set it on her chair and forgot to put it back on.

We looked, digging in sand for almost three hours.

My wife was very upset; we gave up looking.

I saw a Life Guard and asked if he could help.

He gave me Mr. John’s phone number; I called him; he told me he was an hour away.

He assured me if we could wait, he could find it, knowing we had dropped it in sand where we were sitting.

He arrived within an hour; found the ring in five minutes.

We greatly appreciate Mr. John; he made my wife very happy.

Steve is a very wonderful person and what he does is absolutely amazing!

testimonial for Steven Ray (2021)

On September 7th I took my children to the beach after work for just a relaxing evening. The waves were ruff but with kids they insisted we get in so I followed and ended up being knocked down by a wave, I quickly put my hand down to stop myself from taking my child down with me and I felt my ring slip off my finger. I was devastated! I found and gentleman who was detecting a little further down and asked for his help, he immediately told me about Steve at Crystal Coast Ring Finders. I looked it up on facebook and called. Steve was so very nice and told me he would be out shortly to start the search for my ring and he did as he said. He kept in touch and made sure I knew he was still looking. After a month I had given up hope on ever seeing my ring again. Steve reached out to me on the 9th and asked if I could fill his paperwork out so he could keep my information on file. Monday October 11th he walked into my work and I filled out tge paperwork and he handed me his card. To my surprise when I turned it over was my ring!! Tears of joy started streaming from my eyes! Steve is a very wonderful person and what he does is absolutely amazing! If you are ever in the area and lose a prized position I definitely recommend Steve with Crystal Coast Ring Finders!!

Thanks again, you are absolutely amazing!

I have utmost gratitude to John Snyder, the man who found & returned my ring.

testimonial for John Snyder (2021)

My name is Thomas Roberts; I was swimming at Vanderbilt beach in Naples, Florida on vacation.

I was in chest deep water when I felt my wedding ring slide off my finger.

There was a man who was metal detecting not far from me; I called him over; told him what had happened. He began to search for my ring immediately.

Thankfully, he was able to find my gold band within a 30 minute time frame.

I have utmost gratitude to John Snyder, the man who found & returned my ring.

Ever Grateful,

In a world that is filled with distrust and misinformation – we can attest to the fact that Stephane truly does live up to his reputation!!!!

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2021)

My husband and I are so incredibly happy to have found Stephane.

My husband’s ring fell off his hand as he was wiping off some spider webs he got on his hands from our dock chairs. I rarely see my husband as upset as he was when this happened. We were both stunned and did not know what to do.

We are new to Buckhorn and having work done on our property and so we reached out to the wonderful people around town that have helped us so far. Unfortunately despite reaching out to so many people, it was very difficult to find anyone that could help us. The water conditions were not good. Cold water, lots of silt/wood, deeper water, and to make things worse – it happened late Friday afternoon.

We did not know what to do but we did know that the longer the rings stayed in the water – the less likely it would ever be retrieved. Then, as I was feverishly googling for help, I came across Stephane’s website. My husband reached out to Stephane and he promptly replied and agreed to come out the next day which was a Saturday. He had to drive 3 hours to get to our place! We were trying to stay positive and really did not know to what to expect but we did see some of the testimonials so we were quite hopeful. At least for the first little while but as time passed as as it approached almost 2 hours of almost non stop underwater searching, we both started to feel the excitement dwindle.

But Stephane never gave up. He was shivering and cold but continued to go under our dock, in the dark and blindly feel his way through silt, sticks and stones – until he finally found it! We were both in shock and disbelief!

Stephane is a wonderful and kind man. It is clear he is an amazing scuba diver but what stood out even more, he is commitment to help people when they have already given up hope. He works tirelessly to ensure he is successful not for the money, but for the satisfaction he gets out of bringing people so much happiness and joy!

It was truly a pleasure meeting Stephane. In a world that is filled with distrust and misinformation – we can attest to the fact that Stephane truly does live up to his reputation!!!!

We are so happy that we are now referring to our inlet as Stephane’s inlet:)

Thanks again Stephane!

I am very grateful to Brian and highly recommend his services...

testimonial for Brian Carpenter (2021)

When i initially spoke with Brian on the phone, he was very professional and thorough. He clearly stated what he would be doing and how. On the day of the search, he was punctual, reviewed the plan once again and began the search. Shortly after, the ring was found. I directed him to specific areas where it might be located and by chance, he had started his search at just the right spot.

I am very grateful to Brian and highly recommend his services. He honestly enjoys the challenge of finding lost items for people, and he’s also an all around good person.

Thank you thank!

testimonial for Alison Walker (2021)

Can’t thank you enough for this Alison!! I was so busy trying to video you that I didn’t jump up and down!! Thank you thank! Just knowing that you take so much care and donate the proceeds back to Kelly Shires means so much too.

I would recommend him 12/10!

testimonial for Norm Peters (2021)

I will be honest, I didn’t have high expectations when I contacted Norm but was pleasantly surprised! I have very little free time but Norm was super accommodating meeting me late on a Friday evening. To my surprise he found the ring in under 30minutes! I would recommend him 12/10!

Thank you again – words cannot express my gratitude!

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2021)

Mark – you and your wife are such wonderful people! Thank you for finding my ring in less than 5 mins. After searching until 10:30p Friday night and resuming at 7a on Saturday – while I was still hopeful I’d find it, I was beginning to have doubts. So happy we found you, and to only work on a reward basis was amazing to me. Not sure if you heard the cheers and clapping from the condos behind us and people near us. I didn’t hear it because I was too busy giving you a big hug – but was told everyone was rooting for me! Thank you again – words cannot express my gratitude!

Richard and long may you continue to help those in need of your invaulable assistance!

testimonial for Richard Higham (2021)

Thank you so much for this amazing service that you provide Richard, and for this frankly incredible recovery. Once we had completed the beach search, I must say my hopes of locating the ring from the sea with its sharply shelving drop were very far from high, and as I watched Richard in wetsuit and goggles make his initial sweeps in the water I thought “God loves a trier, but surely this is a hopeless case” and resolved to donate to his chosen charity whatever the outcome. It’s hard to find the words to describe my astonishment, relief and joy when my wedding ring appeared from the shovelful of sand and stones scooped from the sea bed. Thank you again, Richard and long may you continue to help those in need of your invaulable assistance!

We want to thank Shanon and Mike for their help...

testimonial for Sharon Nelson (2021)

It was our pleasure to call help from Sharon and Mike for finding the ring that my husband bought for me at Anacapri, Italy. After hours of search by us with a metal detector, and with helps from friends with their metal detector, and after some bottle caps found, we thought the chance to find it is low. We are talking about a soccer field size of thick grass area that’s regularly trafficked with dogs, irrigation, human.

Then that night I found the website and called Shanon the second morning. They are professional help. Shanon and Mike drove from Reno to meet us. They showed up on time and after some briefing they started thorough searching. They also showed us the mistakes we are making and the limitation of our detectors. The small stick detector for final fine tune makes a critical difference too. Otherwise we would spend too much time sipping through grass of the final square foot too many times. They also should us their coarse detector has less False positive as it avoids deeply buried. They even skip some pennies as they can tell the difference. So right device and lots of experience made their finding stands out from ours. In fact where Shanon eventually found the ring was a place we have searched over…

It was such a happy ending with their help. It reminds us that good old fashioned happiness exists in crazy post COVID year with all the so called new world order craziness. It is the old fashioned community touch that makes people grateful and happy. We want to thank Shanon and Mike for their help. And thank our friends who helped us the previous day, esp. Brian, Ron and Scott. Our dog enjoyed our longer stay at the dog park too

I can’t tell you how happy we were to have Greg’s ring found!

testimonial for H Connell Raate (2021)

I can’t tell you how happy we were to have Greg’s ring found! I want to give a shout out to This gentleman – on Sunday as we were leaving 3 mile bay on Oneida lake my husbands wedding band came off – we searched all over – went back Monday night with a medal detector we bought and had no luck – we contacted this wonderful gentleman from the ring finders, he met us that day and after 1 1/2 hours in that freezing – windy water they found the ring in about 3 1/2 feet of water !

Can’t tell you how happy we were and he was just as happy for us! We made a new friend that day! Thank you so much!!

Thank goodness for your mad skills!

testimonial for Clare Winslow III (2021)

CLARE! I was unbelievably thankful for how quickly you were able to come over. Also, What an amazing find! I loved your confidence through it all even with the rain and choppy water. Thank goodness for your mad skills!

Hello Ringfinders,

I thought all hope was lost for my missing watch until I found your site and Jonathan Hamill. He came by quickly and was very professional. I had never seen or heard of the technique he used to locate the watch but it worked and that's all that matters.

John was fast, professional, friendly, and most importantly: effective. He found my wedding ring in no time flat, and I couldn't be happier. Could not recommend enough!

She was very professional, understanding, and easy to work with.

testimonial for Christina McCree (2021)

I contacted a Ringfinder, Christina McCree, here in Huntsville, AL about finding my wedding band. She was very professional, understanding, and easy to work with. After losing my ring playing some messy games with our youth at church, my wife and I were disappointed. It was a huge relief when Christina came out and found our ring the same day I contacted her. I can’t say enough about how awesome and efficient she was. She quickly found it and we were able to celebrate a few moments with her and our entire youth group at church. I’m grateful for this organization. Just wanted to let you know.

Woodrow Engle is amazing...

testimonial for Woodrow Engle (2021)

Woodrow Engle is amazing. We searched for weeks for a bracelet we lost during harvest of our vineyards here in wine-country. It was expensive and special. Same day that I called him he showed up and carefully combed the vineyard until he found it. It was complicated by the wires that hold the vines but he carefully and relentlessly searched til he found it. I am overjoyed. He was humble, kind, and as happy as me to find it. He is the gem!!

Thanks for your help!

testimonial for Tom Tanner (2021)

You are a lifesaver!! Thanks for your help! Tom responded and arrived quickly. He was very understanding and kind. So happy to have found him and this community of Ringfinders!

testimonial for Jarrod West (2021)

We were so happy today when Jarred found my husbands wedding ring! It seemed like it would be futile to even try but in less than 30 minutes Jarred had found the ring even though it was in the water next to the sea grass. He is amazing! Thank you , thank you , thank you!

Ray was truly a godsend and a blessing for myself and my wife...

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2021)

Ray was truly a godsend and a blessing for myself and my wife. He returned my phone call and we immediately set up a plan and he showed up at the time given to me. Being over two hours away he still made the time to come and help us. Not only he being polite and cordial, he was also a great person to converse with during the search. I had looked myself for several hours for a few evenings and I was beyond stressed. He came in a with an approach and executed. After about an hour I stepped indoors to speak with my wife and I returned outside to seeing him holding it in his hand and goodness not only a stress relief. But a beautiful sight to behold. Especially with us getting married in less than a week! If you guys ever need something of this magnitude to be taken care of. Ray is your guy to call and I would recommend him everyday and twice on Sunday’s!!!! Thank you once again for being there for us and you rock man!

You truly saved the day and my vacay!

testimonial for John Favano (2021)

What a nice guy! Thank you John, for what you do! I am forever grateful that you found my grandmother’s holy medal buried in the sand. It is a very special item that makes me feel closer to one of the most important people in my life. You truly saved the day and my vacay!

Thanks,

Yvette

I would strongly recommend reaching out to Stephane to find your ring!

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2021)

It was a cool summer night, and the water was frigid but tempting.

My friends and I decided to go into the water for a late night swim.

A man should know what happens in water that cold… as George Costanza would say, “significant shrinkage”. It was the perfect storm to have a ring slip off my shrunken finger.

The next morning, I searched the bottom of the lake with no luck. On my way home from the cottage, I thought of renting a metal detector, but I was no Jacques Cousteau.

Luckily I got put into contact with another famous underwater explorer, Stephane Coutu!

Thinking I had lost the ring in shallow water, I told him to first search without his scuba gear. I was wrong…

With a small glimmer of hope and one last shot, Stephane came out on day two with his full scuba gear. His will and determination lead him to find the ring in deeper waters!

I couldn’t be happier with the amazing support and positive attitude that Stephane displayed throughout this process. For those of you who are in an unlucky situation like I was, I would strongly recommend reaching out to Stephane to find your ring!

Cheers,

M

I’m so glad I put my trust in Rick and Leighton. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!

testimonial for Leighton Harrington (2021)

What can I say, these guys are the best! I really had lost all hope after the first day of searching. Rick and Leighton were scouring that beach for six hours, and it seemed that mine was not going to be a success story. One week later I got a call from them saying they decided to give it another shot, and they had found my ring! I hadn’t even asked them to do the second search, the just wouldn’t give up, and for that I am so very grateful! It’s hard to know who to trust when it comes to lost items that hold value, but I’m so glad I put my trust in Rick and Leighton. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart!

I wish to express my joy and Thanks to Richard and Leighton...

testimonial for Richard Browne (2021)

I wish to express my joy and Thanks to Richard and Leighton. The potential loss of the ring that my Fiance Joanne and I had traveled to Galway City to procure was devastating. The ring originates in the small fishing village of the Claddagh, just outside the ancient walls of Galway City. It is the ancestral home of my Paternal Grandparents. I grew up hearing my Grandmother, Delia, describing the beautiful rings in the window of Fallers on Shop Street. I felt that the emotional bond of my history and my future marriage required matching, His and Hers, Claddagh rings from the source. The ring acquired even more power when at a Christmas Eve wedding, performed by my Father, the rings were placed on our fingers. https://dedham.wickedlocal.com/article/20141226/news/141228082

Richard’s story of the search and the find just needs one addendum., as I went into the water for that Birthday swim there was a pervading thought in my head. ” I lost the ring in the ocean, the only way it can find me is if I am in the ocean” I swam back in, passing Richard, pretty deep in the water, no sooner was I ashore that I turned to see the smiling faces of Richard and Leighton. “Is this your ring” Richard said as he held out his scoop and among the beach rocks I spied a most wonderful sight. Thank You!

I would recommend him to anyone...

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2021)

Thank you for the incredible work you do...

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2021)

Thank you Stephane, mere words cannot express our appreciation in finding this ring.

Nicole was heartbroken and devastated when she called me to say she lost grandma’s ring in the lake. I joined her at the beach and we looked, with the help of kind Cobourg beachgoers, but could not find the ring. Nicole was refusing to leave the beach until she had grandma’s ring. I am so thankful you came up in my google search, even more thankful you dropped everything to show up a mere hour later. You said to me on the phone, “before the sun sets, that ring will be back on Nicole’s hand”, a promised backed up by experience and in the end you were right!!! Your confidence settled our nerves and your experience is why anyone, who is heartbroken by a similar circumstance, should call you. The day ended with tears of joy, great relief and not heartbreak. Thank you for the incredible work you do. With sincere thanks and appreciation Gillian

Thank you x100000000 Mr. Jim!!!! You’re the best!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2021)

Jim is the absolute best!!!! My hero for sure! Polite, nice, patient, and thoroughly skilled at detection. I have to admit, I wasn’t very hopeful that my necklace would be found, and so I wasn’t too much help to him in giving the location’s description as I was getting on the road to head home.

But thankfully, Jim was kind enough to go look for it anyway. Within 30 minutes of my initial message to him, he had found it!!! I still am in awe that it came back to me…. The sentimental aspect of this necklace is something I can’t put into words. But to keep it short… after the last year and a half, it’s a tangible testament to everything I’ve lost, been through, overcome; as well as all the blessings of love, compassion, and companionship that I’ve gained.

It’s a spiritual token, my reminder to be kind always and to be a light in this darkening world. A call to remember that no matter what we go through, if we continue to shine with love and light, then it will be given back to us just as bright and beautiful.

And now I have two reminders to be the light…. My returned necklace, and Jim Wren’s example, which is just him living as who he is. I’m so thankful for his skill and even more for his legitimate compassion in getting lost treasures back to those who can’t find them! He’s a walking, talking angel on earth for sure! Thank you x100000000 Mr. Jim!!!! You’re the best!

Steven was amazing. I called him at 6:30pm on a Sunday. He made the 1hr drive to Topsail and was here by 8:00 the same evening…and found the ring within 10 minutes of searching! Because of him I did get to sleep indoors that night. Thank you again

Thank you so much again it was truely a blessing.

testimonial for Luke Schlining (2021)

Can’t thank Luke enough for finding my wedding ring. My emotions when I lost my ring were overwhelming. I went to bed Saturday thinking I would never see it again. I woke in the morning to text from my niece saying maybe this is worth a try with a link to The Ring Finders.

I have to say I really didn’t think it would work but why not try (what did I have to lose). After getting in touch with Luke he agreed to drop what he was doing and come to Priest Lake to search for my ring.

I so appreciate his willingness to give up his Sunday to help me and much to my surprise and sincere gratefulness he found my wedding ring. Thank you so much again it was truely a blessing.

Thanks again for the help Ron!

testimonial for Ron Forster (2021)

I was playing around in the water at Christie Lake with my son and noticed my wedding ring was missing. The water was pretty murky and you can’t see the bottom so I knew searching myself wasn’t going to find the ring. A quick google search found the Ring Finders website with Ron close by. He answered the call and was able to meet me right away. After about 45 minutes in the water, Ron found the ring and it was safely back on my finger. Thanks again for the help Ron!

We were shocked and a massive wave of relief hit us both...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

It was the end of our week-long trip to British Columbia and everything had gone just perfectly - and then the universe decided to throw us a curveball.

We were spending our last night on the Sunshine Coast. With the blistering heatwave, we couldn't resist a quick dip in the ocean at Davis Bay. In less than a minute of jumping in, the brand new custom designed engagement ring came sliding off my partner's finger into the crashing waves of the ocean. Instant panic, horror and regret set in. We tried our best to recover it. But the crashing waves, rocky shore and rising tide made it impossible. With no goggles on hand and after 20 minutes of searching we gave up, feeling crushed and defeated. We pretty much accepted that the ring was gone and there was only a slim chance of recovering it. It was a horrible feeling and a terrible way to end our vacation.

We tried to keep our spirits high for the rest of the evening. Realizing that the tide would go out the next day revealing part of the shore where we lost the ring, we considered purchasing a metal detector. We started doing a bit of research online and came across TheRingFinders. In a desperate, shot in the dark effort, I texted Chris Turner and within 5 minutes we received a phone call. We were in a tricky situation - we only had the next day to find the ring before catching our return flight back in Vancouver in the evening. And we only had about a 3 hour window of low tide. To our surprise, Chris was enthusiastically up for the challenge - despite having to wait in line to catch a ferry the next morning and travel from Vancouver to Davis Bay.

Sure enough, Chris showed up at Davis Bay the next day with his metal detection gear. We were super impressed and hopeful - especially after reading all the reviews on TheRingFinder. Within 40 minutes of canvassing the area, he found it - and his reveal took us by surprise. We were shocked and a massive wave of relief hit us both. We were ecstatic to have the ring back. But not only that we were ecstatic to have met Chris - such an amazing, super friendly and wholesome guy. The whole experience was a rollercoaster and we can't put into words just how grateful we are to have the ring back. Thanks so much Chris! In a weird way, the ring means so much more to us now.

Friend of ours found The Ring Finders and John responded instantly...

testimonial for John Favano (2021)

My father in law lost his wedding ring 8/12 at 11:15 am. Friend of ours found The Ring Finders and John responded instantly. John searched for an hour and twenty minutes, then we heard the words we were all praying for… “I found it!” Low and behold, at about 7:00 pm, there it was, Dads wedding ring, it was buried 10 inches under the sand in waist deep water and John found it!!! Now it is back on his hand where it belongs ?? Thank you John!

Thank you so much Mark! Don’t know what I would do without you… Highly recommend this ring finder to anyone who lost something of value.

thanks to all those amazing ring finders out there helping people reconnect with these very sentimental pieces of life...

testimonial for Ryson Zettlemoyer (2021)

Pull up a chair, grab a seat, and listen in on this wild journey of my lost wedding ring. It was may of 2021. I’ve been married for only a year and a half to a woman I’ve been with for 9 years. My wife mentioned to me to go get the ring properly fitted cause it was loose. Regretfully, so I thought, I didn’t listen....

So how did it happen. My wife bought a dog that I had no interest in. We had two others. And I didn’t want to train another pup. So it was “her” dog. But you know how that goes. I fell in love with the lil one. So I’m outside in the driveway, we live way out in the country so our driveway is a dirt road, and on the first toss of the dog toy, Oh No! My ring... it’s gone... me and my buddy looked for hours. Nothing. Nowhere. It’s lost. Everyday I’d go out and look. As did my wife and other friends. We’d come up empty handed each and every time. We did this for days. Several days after losing it, I was having a buddy come visit who was going to stay with me for two weeks to help me move out of the house we were selling. Even more frustration around the lost ring. You see, my buddy was coming to help us pack up and move out. We had bought another home 4 hours away. That added some extra stress. Cause I knew my time to find it was limited. And with the move and all, how in the world will I find the time.

So my buddy talked me into buying a metal detector from big five. It was nothing special of a machine, just your normal low quality metal detector. We looked for days and weeks when we had the time. Nothing. Empty handed every time. It was doing a number on me. I felt as if I was missing a part of my body. I couldn’t help but think about it often as I looked down on my finger. And to make matters worse, my wife always gave me a hard time for wearing it on the right finger, cause that’s where it fit best. It was way looser on the left finger. So be it. Every time I went back to the property and I walked past that spot, I felt it, I would feel that loss.

Now you see, I could have had the ring maker make us another ring. But there was something special and magical about our ceremony and gathering. It was a weekend long event. And the magic that happened on that weekend was a once in a lifetime kind of thing. And all that magic, I believe, took form in those rings. So I had to find that ring. I couldn’t give up just yet.

Fast forward two months later. My buddy mentions to me that there are specialty detectors that can target specific types of metal, like in my case, white gold. Some days went by till I decided to look into a possible rental of one of these machines. Upon my search, I came across an article on a farmers insurance website, who I have insurance through, that spoke about a gentleman in Southern California who did the good deed of helping to find personal property lost along that coastline on the local beaches. It spoke about how he did it as a good dead cause he understood the sentimental value that these articles behold. I was elated. There was a phone number. I reached out to Stan by sending a text message to see if he could help. As I waited for a response I dug deeper. I noticed there was a website.TheRingFinder.com. I visited the page and not before long, Stan reached out to tell me about the site. I’m already there I said. And thanked him for responding and for the work he had done. So as I was reading through the site, I saw a section that allowed for searching a ring finder in our area. I put in the zip code and bam.

There was a ring finder here. I clicked on his name and to my dismay, it was an old friend whom I have not seen in many years. What an interesting coincidence. I had remembered when Ryson was younger, he was chatting about wanting to get a metal detector and find lost jewelry. To see that he was using some of his time for this made me smile. Cause he might be able to help me and we can also reconnect. It’s been an extremely long time since we’ve seen each other. So I grabbed the phone and gave him a ring.

He picked up the phone and asked him if he remembered me. He said of course. I told him my story and he said, “I can be there tomorrow.” Well I’m not around tomorrow as I now live 4 hours away. Told him I’d call him back to let him know when I can make it. It just so happened that the following day I found out that I had to go back to that area in the coming days. So I phoned Ryson up and said I can be there Thursday and asked if that worked for him. He said definitely. The previous day, my wife’s dad phoned me and said “I can’t stop thinking about that ring. Maybe it’s not where you’re looking. Maybe it’s behind you, or somewhere you’re not thinking about.” I said I feel like I looked, but will take that into consideration. So Ryson and I met up and he went to work. I had some errands to run and so I left him and his daughter who came along to get to work. I was gone for about 4 hours with no reception.

As I got back into service all these texts appeared. “Still no sign yet. Can you share anymore information?” My stomach sank. As I drove back I started thinking about buying a new ring. I must say, it didn’t feel good at all and I felt crushed. I stopped to pick him and his daughter up some lunch for their trouble. So I get back to the property and step out of the truck. Just as I step out and face Ryson, Bam! My ring is between his thumb and his pointer finger! I was the happiest Individual you’ve ever seen.

How in the world did you do it I said. “Come with with me,” he says. He points to the pine needles under a fallen branch. It was sitting right there, perfectly being preserved. I could have seen it with my both eyes. But we kept assuming it was over there, where the dog toy was tossed. As opposed to where the arm goes after you throw. Kind of where my father in law said it would be. Ryson then proceeded to tell me that he just went back to the spot I told him I stood in when I threw the toy.

He played it over and over again. Even to the point of tossing his own ring. And then, at one moments notice, he realised that the arm crosses over and maybe the ring went to the left. And as he thought this, and his eyes moved in the direction. Bam. He saw it glistening on the bed of pine needles. He found it without even using the metal detector. Now that’s good investigative work. Cause I thought I had looked. But to be real, my belief, is that the universe had a bigger plan. I was supposed to lose that ring so that I can go on this journey, even though it didn’t appear positive in the moment, to rediscover an old friendship. And to see his now teenage daughter who I only knew as a new born.

The universe works in mysterious ways. And this was one of those mysterious ways. Thanks for reading my story. And thanks to all those amazing ring finders out there helping people reconnect with these very sentimental pieces of life. And in these days and times, this means that much more. There will never be any way to truly repay you guys for what you do. But know that I, we, give so much thanks for you ring finders.

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2021)

Jeff Morgan is a savior and gem of a person! My personal story starts off with losing my heirloom wedding ring in a snow covered national park in Seattle. I had lost all hopes of retrieving it and in that hopelessness I googled how to deal with losing a wedding ring and I found TheRingFinders.com I was surprised that such services exist and that they genuinely want to help. So I called Jeff who is one of the most experienced ring finders in Washington state. I am glad I connected with him since he is very detailed in asking the right questions and was prompt to schedule some time to head to the location where I assumed to have lost my ring. He had the tools and experience backing him on his journey to find my ring. Unfortunately, that day he couldn’t find it. However, he didn’t end his effort there. He informed the rangers and the maintenance people working there in case they find the ring once the snow melts. Jeff also shared some tips with me on how I can follow up to find the ring. That communication helped, since one day he was contacted by one of the maintenance employees who informed him that a ring with my description was found once the snow had melted! Jeff was proactive to inform me and even got me connected to the maintenance employee. Finally due to Jeff’s communication, experience and commitment towards helping people to find their lost items, I got my ring back! It was unbelievable and I’m very thankful to God that I found Jeff to help me. Jeff is the guy who will go above and beyond to help anyone! Thank you Jeff!!

Regards,

The first thing that popped up “The Ring Finders”. I read some of the comments on the site and thought wow!!

testimonial for Lanaki Adric (2021)

Kai thank you for comming out to the Westside to help me find my wedding ring. It’s been 2 long days of so little rest, stressed, and thinking is there people out on oahu who looks for loss jewelry????

Also I didn’t know how to tell my husband that I lost my wedding in the ocean while taking my kids for a swim at the beach.

I was so sadden that he asked me whats wrong?? Are you ok?? In the mean time I told him and he said why didn’t you take it off before you went swimming and I said it was tight on my finger I didn’t think it would fall off. I grabbed my phone an googeled jewelry finders on oahu. The first thing that popped up “The Ring Finders”. I read some of the comments on the site and thought wow!!! Some of the stories are in the ocean where it’s deep. Immediately I look for a contact number on the site.

I called an spoke with a guy name Joe who said I currently can’t go in the ocean right now but I know a guy who would help. So he texted me the guys name and number. I immediately called kai and he answered!!! I told him a guy name Joe gave his number to me because I’m currently in a situation where I needed someone to help me find my wedding ring in the ocean.

He said hi.my name is kai. What happened, how can I help you. So I told him I lost my wedding ring in the ocean and need some help finding it. Would you be able to help me??? He then told me do you know the location in the water where you lost it? I said I was in a pond with lots of rocks surrounding me and my kids. He then said did you just loose it? I said no it’s been about 2 days now. Me,my brother in law and my 10 yr old daughter went to 711 to see if they sold goggles.

Immediately we found 3 goggles in the store purchased it and went back to the pond. In the meantime the sun was setting an it was getting dark. We had no luck finding my ring. We headed back home showered and I told my daughter I’m going back early in the morning because the tide should be supper low and the water should be clear to see. We searched for hours with no luck in finding that ring so that’s why I called you. He then said I have to talk to my wife and I will call you back.

2 hours went by so I call him and said are you still stopping by today. Is everything OK with your wife? He then said yes while in traffic on my way there someone rear-end me. I’m like so sorry to hear maybe I can reschedule for another day because I know how long it takes when you get in to a car accident. He’s like no I’m settling things here an ill be there. About 10 mins he calls and he said I’m at the beach waiting. Me and all my kids head to the beach to tell him where I think it fell off in the ocean.

He searches the whole pond while me and my daughter are looking in the ocean too, and while my babies are swimming In The pond. Finally I tell my babies I’m gonna sit on the sand. I call my sister up because prior to us heading down to the beach she was on the phone with me and I totally forgot to hang up the phone to show kai where I lost my ring.

So we are talking on face time and my babies come out of the water to play sand. About 10min go’s by and a guy approached me asking if I have a goggles he can borrow because he lost his car keys while surfing. So I told him yeah you can borrow it. He’s like I’ll bring it back how long are you gonna be here. I said I’ll wait because I currently have someone in the pond helping me search for my wedding ring.

He says ok thanks. When I find my keys I’ll come back and help look for your ring. 5mins after that kai walks out the water and I tell my daughter. I don’t think he had any luck finding it. She’s like I think he found it and I’m like I don’t think so. He approached me and said can you explain to me how your ring looks like again, was you able to find a picture of it, is your husband home?

I’m like I can’t find a really clear picture of it and my husband’s resting because he is NOT feeling to good at the moment.

He’s like I wanted to know more about the story behind the ring. Meantime my sister is still on the phone and he says who are you talking to? I say my sister then he says can you tell her to turn on her camera right then he tells her is this how the ring looks like shows it and she yells yes!!!!

That’s her ring!!!!! I turn to look an he has my ring in his hand I thank him with excitement. I head back home with my kids to get my wallet to pay him for coming out to maili to find my wedding ring.

Then I’m guessing when I went in the the house the guy that borrowed my goggles is looking for me to return it and help me find my ring. He sees kai at the shower an asks him if he knew where I went because he borrowed my goggles to look for his keys.

Kai then tells him I found her ring and then he says I told her if I find my keys I’ll help her find her ring after but, you found it and I found my keys everybody wins thank God.

I’m thankful to have found this website because if i hadn’t, i wouldn’t have ever gotten my dads ring back.

testimonial for John Snyder (2021)

Thank you so much John for finding my engagement ring! You are a blessing to John and I.

While I was vacationing in Floridia (July of 2021) I lost my engagement ring of 20 years at Boca Grande Beach (state park). I was completely devastated. I thought it was gone. After a few days, I decided to research how to rent a metal detector and came upon theringfinders.com…a website of professional metal Detectorist. I said, why not, give it shot….so thankful and blessed that I did. John Synder found my ring in the water, three days after I lost it! And, what makes a good story a great story, he found it on my 20 year anniversary of my proposal. John was very helpful and responsive to me and I could tell he loves what he is doing! He was invested as much as us to finding my ring! We can’t thank John enough and will be forever grateful to him! I admit, I was skeptical, but not any more! This was an answer to a lot of prayers and John is really knowledgeable about metal detecting.

utmost gratitude for Lanaki’s skills and service!!

testimonial for Lanaki Adric (2021)

My words couldn’t fully express my utmost gratitude for Lanaki’s skills and service!! During the ceremony, my husband and I noticed that although the engagement ring was found in the sand, the wedding band was still missing. He tells me not to worry, we will find it after the ceremony. The ceremony was beautiful and I was fully present in the moment, but afterwards my mind went back to the band. When we couldn’t find it with an initial search in the sand, Lanaki’s wife advised us to stop looking with our hands because we were probably making it worse. She told me that she called her husband, Lanaki, and he was on the way. When he arrived on site to look for the ring, I just couldn’t believe how quickly he was able to find it, within minutes!! I was in shock, a happy shock, but shocked none the less. I know that the ability to find the ring that quickly takes skill! If you’re in need of someone to find your ring, I would highly recommend Lanaki! I was definitely relieved and super ecstatic that he found the wedding band. It was the perfect end to our beautiful wedding surprise/gender reveal. Mahalo plenty from the bottom of my heart, Lanaki! We will never forget the role you played on our special day.

This will definitely be one of our best stories to share with family and friends

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2021)

Thank YOU Jeff for diligent efforts and successfully finding my ring which I had given up as lost for good for these past four years. Just by sheer luck I happened to be listening to KIRO last February and since the ring had a lot of sentimental value to me, I thought I’d make one last attempt to locate the ring and reach out to Ring Finder’s, not realizing that there was even such a service available. It’s utterly amazing how you were able to find the ring buried under a layer of dust inside the tiniest of crevices!! You have no idea how happy both Glenn and I are. This will definitely be one of our best stories to share with family and friends. Next stop will be Shane Co. and we will tell them how you found our ring!

Thanks so much, Chris, and God bless!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

Chris was willing to drive all the way out to Jericho beach late in the night to help my find my piece. It took about two hours to find it because the beach is totally loaded with scrap metal. He was very enthusiastic and welcoming, and I really enjoyed watching him work. Thanks so much, Chris, and God bless!

My faith in humanity was renewed that day. Good people who genuinely want to help people do exist.

testimonial for Steve Smith (2021)

My name is Guyen (Guy) and I was taking my daughters pet Luna for a walk on the Marina del Rey beach on Monday the 21st 2021. Luna loves to play with rocks on the beach by digging holes and burying the rocks. That day was like any other day but suddenly Luna wanted to get my attention and lunged towards me. That broke the necklace. I had a cross, my mothers wedding band that was gifted to me and my daughters name in 22ct gold in Sinhalese. I found the necklace but the other three items just vanished. This was at 5.50pm. Luna and I was looking for the lost items until 7.30pm and decided to call it a night. Before leaving, we marked the spot to come back the next day to look for the three lost items.

I came home and searched online for metal detector rentals to rent one for the next day and I was unable to find one. Then I randomly stumbled upon the website of Mr. Steve Smith “The Ring Finders”. I immediately called the number and Mr. Smith answered the phone. I explained my situation and he said that he would like to come out that night itself as the beach cleanup tractor can shift the items or the tide can wash the missing items Mr. Smith said that he will meet me in 30-45 minutes.

I explained this to my daughter who was skeptical and was concerned for my safety as I was going to meet this person that I connected online to look for the three missing pieces of jewelry. She even took my phone and shared my location with her incase this person who volunteered to help me was to harm me.

Mr. Smith met me at the Marina del Rey beach and we walked towards the location where the jewelry vanished. It was about 9.50pm. I directed Mr. Smith to the location and within a few minutes he found the Cross, my mothers wedding band and my daughters name in 22ct gold pendent. It was unbelievable to say the least. I asked Mr. Smith how much it would be for his services and he said that he would only take a donation. He did ask if it was okay for him to take a picture of me holding the three items that was found. Naturally I agreed as it was the least that I could do.

My faith in humanity was renewed that day. Good people who genuinely want to help people do exist. For anyone who goes to the beach, I highly recommend that you store the number of Mr. Steve Smith “The Ring Finders” in your phone. You never know when you might need his help. It’s as good as having AAA on the beach.

Thank you Mr. Steve Smith “The Ring Finders” from the bottom of my heart.

Joe was great...

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

Joe was great, replied to my text promptly, explained the options related to the location and gave a realistic expectation given the level of visibility if it was in deeper water. Communication was great and kept me updated. He did everything in a very friendly and professional manner, and found the ring way faster than I was expecting! Much mahalos to Joe!

I hope and pray anyone who goes through this calls you!

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2021)

I hope and pray anyone who goes through this calls you! I truly believe your conversation with Callan helped his memory and without that conversation we would have definitely lost the rings to the county dump. Thanks again! Sylvia Tacoma, WA

We cannot thank her enough, she is a real pro...

testimonial for Kati Schmidt (2021)

My son called pretty distraught because he had no idea what to do. Sure, he had another set but why take a chance. Human nature would force the average person to change the locks, especially with a 5 yrs. old child at home.Consequently, I also metal detect once a week and knew about the ringfinders website through a friend who is a member of the site out of Pismo Beach. I reassured him told him to wait by the phone and I’ll get back to him. I went on ringfinders site, put in the zip and Kati’s name popped up, I clicked on it and there she was. I communicated with Kati, responding immediately, she was so easy to deal with and I had no question in my mind she would find them. Eugene had pinned the site where he thought he dropped the keys. To answer everyone’s question why I didn’t take my metal detector and go myself; for her fee of $25 between the Verrazano toll, the Jersey tolls, gas, traffic and aggravation-that’s why. Plus, Kati is packing a much more sophisticated piece of equipment than my little machine and she is probably much better at it and having retired from the phone company and hearing 1000 cycle tone in my ear every day for 18 years I could be on top of it and wouldn’t know. Anyway, Eugene text me on Thursday ecstatic “She found the keys!”, I had no doubt Kati would. She was very modest about her skills when I called to thank her but I was, for Eugene’s sake, very thankful for her expertise. We cannot thank her enough, she is a real pro, and a modest one at that.

Joe found the ring. We will never forget this. Thank you Joe!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

Joe’s post, shared his side perfectly. Here’s our side. While kayaking at Kailua Bay, my wife was swimming ashore while bringing in the kayaks, the ring slipped off her finger and fell into the water. We were roughly 15ft from land so the water was turbulent enough to keep the sand suspended covering the entire bottom making it impossible to find the ring. We searched for hours with help from our friends and, a kind lady and her young son. But no luck, the ring was lost. I thought to myself “Perhaps some person in the future will be able to find it.” We left discouraged and heartbroken. I assured my wife we would get it replaced somehow. Two days after, our close friends, Camille and Andrew, who were traveling with us recommended we look for someone who could find it. They pointed us to Ring Finders. There we found Joe. We were hopeful but realized that asking someone to find a ring that was buried somewhere in turbulent waves and sand was a tough ask. We met up with Joe at the beach. He asked me to point him to where the general area was and we marked it in the sand. He then told me to hold his phone and sunglasses as he waded out into the water like a total boss. Within 15 minutes, and to our absolute astonishment, Joe found the ring. We will never forget this. Thank you Joe!

Del is a great person and delights in others happiness. I would highly recommend him and his services.

testimonial for Del Witters (2021)

I am forever grateful that Del found my ring. He is so nice to work with and very caring. As he said, he found it in my neighbors yard adjacent to where I was working. I would not have expanded my search to that area as I was not directly working there. Once he found it, he held it up and grinned and I remembered I was tossing pine cones out of my way while working. Del is a great person and delights in others happiness. I would highly recommend him and his services.

You are forever my angel on earth God bless you

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2021)

This was truly the most beautiful and emotional experience I have ever had. I felt helpless and sick to my stomach when I initially came to the realization I may never see my beautiful ring again. The guilt was immeasurable.

Even though ray had told me about all the great experiences he had finding others precious jewels, I still felt like I would never be whole again. The morning I got the message, I didn’t even think that he had found my ring. I had figured he was just letting me know that he was going down to the spot to look again.

I was driving. I opened up the message and there was a picture of MY RING. My heart sank and I instantly had the most bizarre panic/anxiety attack since the passing of my husband. I know in my heart, my husband, my angel sent ray to me.

Xavier appeared in my dreams the night before. I had hope, and sure enough, my dreams came true. Thank you soooo much for everything and every second you put into this great recovery. You are forever my angel on earth ?? God bless you

There are good people in the world. Thank you for coming out and finding my ring!

testimonial for Woodrow Engle (2021)

I lost my wedding ring at a Memorial Day gathering. At 10pm, I found Woodrow through RingFinders. At 7am, he met me at the park and by 8:30am he had found it - a needle in the haystack. There are good people in the world. Thank you for coming out and finding my ring!

Thank you x 1000 for your help yesterday!

testimonial for Lanaki Adric (2021)

Kai,

Thank you x 1000 for your help yesterday! Pat and I are so happy we got the opportunity to meet you! You saved our day : )

I must admit I was skeptical at first. It was hard to imagine that we would be able to find a ring the size of quarter in the vast ocean of Waikiki beach! But you found it!!! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to help a couple of strangers! We owe you big time! Please contact us when you are in NYC or heading to Ireland.

Warmly,

Anjelica and Pat

Thank you a million times Steve. You are amazing and the job you do is god sent!

testimonial for Steve Smith (2021)

My name is Yvette Cisneros. I have written this testimony about 3 times now and I can’t find the right words to express the gratitude I have for Steve Smith. After losing my engagement ring at Redondo Beach , I lost hope of ever finding it again. My mom suggested renting a metal detector online. So when I searched “where to rent a metal detector, the first site that popped up was theringfinders.com. I then proceeded to open the page, saw Steve’s number and called. When he showed up walking down the beach with all his gear my heart felt relief. When he found me he asked a few questions as to where it might have possibly fallen off, so I showed him. (I also had made a barrier around where I thought it might have been). He then equipped himself to start the scavenger hunt. He found a quarter and a penny before he found my ring and let me tell you every time he would get one out my heart just felt like it was going to explode. When I finally got my ring I was overjoyed with emotions. I cried like a baby. I can’t ever put to words how grateful I am to have been able to find theringfinders.

Also I would love to add… he found my ring in less than 5 min. Which I had spent an hour looking for. Thank you a million times Steve. You are amazing and the job you do is god sent!

My wife and I are very thankful for your service

testimonial for Mike McInroe (2021)

Hi Mike I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping locate my ring. After playing in the swimming pool with my son, tossing the ball around and having Sun tan lotion on my hands it slipped right off my fingers when playing catch.. I spent 4 hours on my hands and knees crawling through my yard looking for it.

I even downloaded a Metal Detector app on my cell phone to aid in my fruitless.

It was worse than trying to find a needle in the haystack ;)

My mother did some searching on Google and came up with the ring finders website.. I plugged in my zip code, texted you and you were here that very next morning and found it within half an hour.

My wife and I are very thankful for your service and I'm so glad we got to connect.

We appreciate everything you did thank you.

Eric and Melissa Cotter

Thank you so much again for everything and I will keep you in my prayer. Thank you~~~

testimonial for Lanaki Adric (2021)

When I had realized I lost my ring at the sharks cove I first panicked but my wife calmed me down that I might have just left it at our hotel room. After the tour, I came to the room only to find that my ring was not there. I google searched how to find a ring in the ocean and many comments directed to just buy a replacement as its almost impossible to find. Thats when I came across this website and Kai so I wanted to give it a shot as a last resort. I called him late around 11pm and during our 30 mins chat, he gathered all the information and confirmed he would head out the first thing next morning. Honestly I was very skeptical that he would find and return the ring. I got a text from him the following day that he is on the way to the sharks cove. Around noon I got a missed call from Kai so I returned his call and he shared the greatest news that he had found the ring!! He even drove down to Waikiki to meet and hand deliver the ring and I really cannot express enough gratitude. He is a truly amazing, friendly, passionate man and he seemed very pleased that he was able to return it back to me. I am so glad I was able to get it back as well. By far this is the most memorable moment in my first Hawaii trip both ups and downs and I will never forget his help!! Thank you so much again for everything and I will keep you in my prayer. Thank you~~~

If you’ve lost your ring, call Jim. if anybody can find it, Jim can

testimonial for Jim Wren (2021)

We (obviously) could not have found our ring without Jim. A day after losing the ring, we were just beginning to accept the fact that it might be gone when we found Jim’s page. He drove 2.5 hours to us, without hesitation. He seemed so confident he could find the ring, that we began to believe he could. Lo and behold, he dug it out of the sand half an hour later. Thank you Jim, your help means the world! If you’ve lost your ring, call Jim. if anybody can find it, Jim can.

Unbelievable! Thank you Chris!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

Chris Turner is a gem! I lost my wedding band by a putting green. I bought a metal detector and searched with lots of help for hours to no avail and then a friend suggested I try The Ring Finders. I was a bit skeptical as we had looked long and hard but after a 45 minute search Chirs found it. Unbelievable! Thank you Chris!

You and your buddy Jim B. are a Godsend and we are eternally grateful for you both!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2021)

Jim,

When I did an internet search and you popped up, I was amazed at the stories I read and I just knew you’d be able to find my son’s ring! I forwarded him your information; he called you and I texted you at the same time in hopes of reaching you! We both got responses right away and are so grateful that you were willing to help.

You and your buddy Jim B. are a Godsend and we are eternally grateful for you both!

Thanks so much again and keep up the good work!

There are no words to explain how grateful I am. Highly recommend, 10/10!

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2021)

We are so lucky to have found you!! I’m so dang impressed by you finding not only one of them, but both! Thank you and your wife so so so much!! There are no words to explain how grateful I am. Highly recommend, 10/10!

Joe is the first call you should make. He’s a professional through and through.

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

I probably can’t do this review justice because I am so incredibly grateful to have my ring back that words just don’t quite capture it.

I lost my ring on my one week anniversary and it really had the potential to place a black mark on my honeymoon. My wife was incredibly understanding but I just felt so awful about losing the ring that was present at our ceremony.

Joe was understanding, patient, and calming at a moment when I was quite honestly losing my mind. He came quickly; he asked the right questions; and he explained his process very clearly.

He took his time on his first search that night but my lack of guidance took him in the wrong direction (as we later found out). He then showed up the next morning and swept a larger area and found my ring!

Joe is the first call you should make. He’s a professional through and through.

He was very quick and efficient in finding my 24k gold wedding band...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

On a hunch that their may be people more skilled with a metal detector than myself, I googled "Find my rings". I am so glad that ringfinders came up, and Chris texted me right away and asked when was a good time to call. Once he heard my story, he came what I think was the very next day. He was professional, wore his mask, and was polite and friendly. He captured the experience on camera, which I thought was also cool. He was very quick and efficient in finding my 24k gold wedding band, and recorded my reaction to seeing it again for the first time in weeks. In conclusion, Chris was excellent in every way. Response time was extremely fast, and he is paid on a per find basis. When it came to paying there was absolutely 0 pressure, and he even told me half goes to his grandson. If I had more to give I would have! I would call Chris again, 10/10 times.

I will happily recommend him to anyone who has lost a valuable or dear ring.

testimonial for John Townsand (2021)

One day in mid April, I discovered that I had lost my late husband's ring that I wore on my thumb. I looked everywhere in the house and back yard but no ring. A friend found an online listing for John Townsand, so I called him in Las Cruzes. He wasn't able to come to Albuquerque for several weeks, but assured me he would come find my ring! He arrived early on May 11 with his equipment and set to work. After 4 hours of searching my acre plus, he found the ring in the dirt behind the garage. I would never have found it!

John is a sincere, polite gentleman. He works fast and methodically. I will happily recommend him to anyone who has lost a valuable or dear ring. He promised he would find it and he did! HG

Thanks again for the recovery. I will recommend you to everybody I know...

testimonial for Steve Thomas (2021)

Thank you so much Steve, you made Charlie‘s day. As you said he has been looking for the ring for months even went out and purchased a Metal detector and did not find anything. He has been very sad about the loss because it meant a lot to him. I did not even know that there was such a person that would come out and find things for you made of metal. Charlie asked me Google it and that’s when I found your name. Thanks again for the recovery. I will recommend you to everybody I know that news is metal.

OMG! Joe is a HERO!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

OMG! Joe is a HERO! As he mentioned in the post, he was just finishing up at the Lagoon when I approached him about my lost earring. He didn’t even hesitate in offering to help. Just asked where I had been when I lost it and we set off to search. After a while I was needing to get back to my car and he even offered to keep looking after I left and contact me if he found it. But luckily I stayed a bit longer…and then heard him say “I got it!” I couldn’t believe it! Sure enough there he was in the water with my missing earring in his hand. I absolutely never would have found it on my own. I cannot thank Joe enough for his kindness, time and energy, and skill in finding my earring. ????

I highly recommend contacting him if you have lost something precious. Thanks again Brian."

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2021)

"After several days of searching and increasing hopelessness that we would ever find Kelly’s wedding ring, it dawned on me that perhaps there is someone out there with the equipment, training and most importantly patience and passion to search for this ring.

I found Ring Finders while conducting an internet search, and we were skeptical that anyone would even answer our on-line request to search for this ring, but someone did—he did so quickly, and it was clear with all of the caring in the world to find this significant part of our family history.

After my initial conversation on the phone with our ring finder Brian, I felt confident we found the right person. He arrived with a smile, and yes all of the ghostbuster gear to assist him in finding our ring.

We explained to him what happened, where we thought it might be, and he began his search. Under the deck, around the bushes, in the landscaping…and after an hour or so nothing but some of our kids lost toys and a bottle cap or two.

He kept us calm, kept us laughing about all kinds of trials and tribulations of life with kids (yes, they played a hand at losing the ring!) ….by the way our kids adored him and helped him (hmmm, maybe not) with the search.

He responded to all of their questions, and ours, about how he conducts his searches and what he is looking for on his equipment. When we started giving up again thinking maybe this ring is indeed forever lost, I began thinking it is irreplaceable, so what now? Then, Brian disappeared back to his vehicle….and was asking where our dog Milo was.

My wife and I kind of thought he really must like Milo and our neighbor’s dog Blu who was playing with Milo…after a few minutes Blu and Milo came marching back from his vehicle with Brian, of course smiling, walking along side of them. A cute scene, but it took us a minute or two to notice Kelly’s ring was on Blu’s collar—BRIAN HAD FOUND IT!

Kelly screamed, we all hugged and high fived, and the entire experience became one of the most memorable of our lives. He explained where he found it and how his equipment and our explanation of what happened gave him the clues to eventually locate it.

Suffice it to say we would never have found it, but Brian’s passion, perhaps fittingly, guided him to find it lying beneath our rose bushes. In the end, the process to request our ring search and find someone passionate about locating lost treasure, was easy.

There was no standard charge for his services, rather a donation for how much we thought his time was worth. Even if we had not found the ring, we had so much fun searching and getting to know our ring finder Brian that the experience was well worth the while—I highly recommend contacting him if you have lost something precious. Thanks again Brian."

do not hesitate to call Ron!

testimonial for Ron Forster (2021)

I was gardening in my backyard and after a couple of hours wearing gloves and taking them off from time to time, I noticed my ring had gone missing. This ring is very important to me as it was given to my mom from my dad when they first started dating 25 years ago. After searching for hours over the span of two days I had given up hope. I tried searching for rentals of metal detectors and I realized that I don’t even know how to work one. I found The Ring Finders website and noticed many people, Ron was able to help. He come as soon as possible, Ron was very polite and courteous. If you find yourself in a similar situation do not hesitate to call Ron!

Thank you for helping me, and for the professional service!

I never would have had a chance at finding my ring without Chris!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

I never would have had a chance at finding my ring without Chris! I am so grateful that he provides this service, otherwise I would have lost an irreplaceable heirloom. He was so quick to meet me at the location, and very professional and methodical in his search. I hope I never lose a ring again, but if I do at least I'll know who to call!

Again John Snyder thank you so very much!

testimonial for John Snyder (2021)

My name is Charlene Bass and on May 4, 2021 I lost my wedding ring in my back yard! I decided to turn my giant compost container (mostly dry leaves) in my back yard, while both of my kids took a nap. I only took the ring off so I wouldn't scratch my son when I had to lotion his legs. I stuffed it in my bra and forgot all about it trying to hurry and do something while they napped. After taking a shower I realized I could not find it. I searced the house with no avail. I knew it had to be in be in the compost I had just flipped. Frantically I spent half a day looking through a giant pile of leaves and food remnants until the mosquitoes get too thick and my kids are telling me it's time to go inside. I also lost another silver ring trying to recreate where I could have lost the first one. My kids (2 and 4) are kicking the leaves around and running through them. We have two drainage ditches that boarder the property. I was terrified of the coming rainy season and that I would never find it. If it was not in the compost it was unfortunately in the ditch. My husband is currently on a state side deployment, so I have no one to help me look for it. He didn't seem too upset that I lost it given he lost his for a few months before we found it in the car a few years ago.

I find ringfinders that night on a whim. I didn't even know this group existed and am so unbelievably grateful that you all do. Now I tell everyone about this amazing group of people, especially John Snyder. I decided to contact someone if I couldn't find my ring the next day. I spend another hour or so the next day juggling kids and searching. After feeling hopeless I contact John Snyder and he responded immediately and was so eager to help. He headed right home to get his equipment. He got to my house and in no time starting searching for the lost ring. He showed up with with a big smile on his face and was so excited to find the ring. His enthusiasm and positivity made me feel so hopeful that I would soon have my ring back on my finger by the end of the day. He accidentally brought the same side gloves and still decided to look even though it would mean possibly digging through food remnants in the compost. He showed a deep concern when finding a lost tent stake and asked if the kids go barefoot in the yard. Finally after looking in my other compost bin he finds it! I cannot express the joy I feel that he found the ring. I immediately start crying. He never asked for anything except for me to share my story. Being an amazing person he is he even offered to find the other silver ring which I had also lost, but him finding my wedding ring was all that I needed. He said later after finding out that both my husband and I are also military, "That makes the ring recovery even more special, recovering a ring for a Veteran Sister and Brother." Again John Snyder thank you so very much!

I’m so grateful. Thank you, Del!!!!!!!!

testimonial for Del Witters (2021)

I am sooo thankful. You were so amazing, kind, and thorough… and that look when you found it! Again, I’m so grateful. Thank you, Del!!!!!!!!

Ryson found my ring! Amazing and awesome! I’m so happy to be reunited with my engagement ring! I can’t thank you enough Ryson!

testimonial for Ryson Zettlemoyer (2021)

I am still in disbelief that Ryson was able to find my engagement ring 10 days after I lost it on the beach during my vacation to the Northern California coast. He was very professional and is good at what he does. I lost my engagement ring when I put it on my beach blanket while putting sunscreen on and then I forgot to put it back on. When it was time to leave the beach that evening I grabbed the beach blanket and then walked 10 ft toward the ocean and shook my beach blanket out. I did not realize until 9pm that night that it was gone. I thought it was lost forever. I decided to wait until the morning to look for it and the tide had come all the way up. I looked for the ring for awhile with no success and even rented a metal detector and tried to find it. I spent at least 2 hrs the day after I lost it and two more hours the next morning looking for it with no success and ended up with sore muscles from metal detecting. Then it was time to go home and after I made it home my fiancé told me that a friend told him about the Ring Finder’s website. I texted Ryson soon after and after reading the testimonials decided to give it a try. He texted me that he was at the beach and a few hours later sent me two pictures of my ring that he found in the sand with the comment “Great News!”. It sure was. I looked at those two pictures many times after in disbelief. I have told many friends this awesome story. I definitely thought my ring was lost forever but the end of this story was a good one! I still can’t believe that Ryson found my ring! Amazing and awesome! I’m so happy to be reunited with my engagement ring! I can’t thank you enough Ryson!

Kati your a super hero and such an awesome person can’t thank you enough. There should be more people like you in this world.

testimonial for Sean Kelly (2021)

A massive thank you and praise for Sean! Firstly, a passionate and dedicated military veteran whose mission nowadays is the search and rescue… of your ring. Secondly, Sean is well equipped and thorough; it’s also really fascinating to hear how he does underwater recoveries! But honestly, if it can come off, take it off, before the beach or boat…Finally, Sean has the professionalism and comfortability of a long-time friend. I only wish the day was warmer and we could’ve chatted longer!

Again, massive thank you and recommendation for Sean Kelly and The Ring Finders! You rock! Keep on Ringing and Pinging!

Very grateful of his quick response and successful result.

testimonial for Craig Marten (2021)

Waving to a friend, my wedding band flew off my hand. First time ever in 60 years the ring left my hand. Looked in the grass unsuccessfully .

Sent text to Craig Marten explaining my issue at 10:15 PM. He was at my home ready to search at 10:00 AM the next day.

10:45 AM he found my ring.

Very grateful of his quick response and successful result.

I can be more happy. Thanks Marc.

testimonial for Marc Littleton (2021)

I always say God sent me to those who need, I was so moved by Marc How he takes the time to share history with others. He really inspired me for his action I drop in tears when he found my wedding ring, but not because of the ring, Its just felt in that moment like finding that kid That he told me about.

Words can not express my gratitude for the service provided!

testimonial for Steve Thomas (2021)

I just want to thank Steve again for helping us recover my lost ring. The stone is a family heirloom and the ring would have truly been irreplaceable. Words can not express my gratitude for the service provided! Finding the ring definitely helped us enjoy the rest of our vacation. You are amazing!

It made my birthday one of the most memorable ones ever...

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

It is hard to describe the roller coaster of emotions associated with losing something that is a family heirloom while on vacation. One minute you are having a blast with the kids and the next minute you are searching frantically hoping you get lucky and find the needle in the haystack. The ring I lost was special because it belonged to my father who passed away from cancer. After a few days with no luck searching or calling lost and found to see if someone had turned it in I felt like I was leaving a memento of my father in Hawaii forever. When my wife got in touch with Joe I was hopeful that he might be able to help. When we landed at home and my wife showed me the picture of the ring from Joe I was thrilled! It made my birthday one of the most memorable ones ever and I will be forever grateful that we found Joe! Thank you Joe for making the roller coaster end on a high note! Justin and Susie Busse

Wow! He found it!

testimonial for Ryson Zettlemoyer (2021)

First, we want to thank Ryson from the bottom of our hearts for his quick and professional location of my wedding band. Susan and I have worn matching bands since we were married in May, 1977- almost 44 years. Unfortunately, I managed to lose my band over the last Thanksgiving Holiday when our kids and grandchildren were visiting. I had been on a weight loss program for about a year and I knew that the ring was looser fitting. Sure enough, the band fell from my finger during what I suspected was yard work. My bad. While I also suspected that it was lost when I was cleaning our chicken coop, we looked for it everywhere, but were unsuccessful. We were beginning to think that it had made its way into the garbage or yard waste and was under the landfill somewhere. To say we were sad and depressed about losing the band would be gross understatement. That was almost three months ago and we were becoming resigned to the loss.

I then remembered that some people with metal detectors had successfully searched for old coins on our property some years ago. (We live in an older Victorian.) Further research revealed that metal detectors can locate gold objects. So, I contacted Ryson and he agreed to conduct a search of our property Sunday (2-21-2021). He asked some questions about my activities at home over the Thanksgiving Holiday. He started with the chicken coop – where I had initially thought it might be – and within a few minutes he reached down about 6 inches under some hay near the coop, looked up and said “Recognize this?” Wow! He found it! I will never forget the look on Susan’s face when I went into the house and showed it to her. We are a matching pair once again.

Our gratitude to Ryson extends way beyond the modest “reward” he was paid for pulling off this personal miracle. The object of his search can not be replaced and we were and are genuinely impressed with both his expertise and kind manner. We would suggest only that this testimonial be entitled “Ryson to the Rescue” because he certainly did rescue us from what would have otherwise been a very sad event.

Thank you, Ryson.

Thank you so much Dave I don’t know if I can say it enough...

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2021)

Thank you so much Dave I don’t know if I can say it enough. My ring is so much sentimental to me and My husband that there is no other one like it. This will definitely be one of our crazy stories in the books for us!

"Wow man, thank you so much, you are a legend!!!"...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

Hello Chris,

I wanted to let you know that my experience with you a couple of days ago was one of those stories that I will never get tired of telling my friends.

It started with a normal Tuesday afternoon, spring just started to kick in and we decided to have paella at third beach with some friends to enjoy the sunset.

The sunset went smoothly, I had a good time, and once it got dark we decided to pack our stuff and go home. That's when the drama started.

As I was leaving, I felt my wedding band slipping through my finger and falling in the sand. Since it was pitch dark, I just said: "guys don't move, don't get close to me, I just dropped my ring and I need to find it, please don't walk around this area".

I was confident that I was gonna find it, we were 6, and all of us got our phone flashlight out and started carefully searching the area. I thought for sure one of us was going to find it.

40 minutes later I was hopeless, I call off the search, thanked everyone for the effort and head home thinking how the hell I was gonna tell my wife that my wedding ring was lost.

As I walked home, I remembered a news article about a ring finder and a famous person, but I did not remember anything else about it.

After coming home, I said hi to my wife and quickly jumped to the laptop to search more about the "ring finder", thankfully it didn't take long to locate a website full of happy clients a name, and a local phone number. I thought it was worth the shot, so I texted the number with a simple "I just lost my wedding ring at third beach".

After that, I approach my wife, and I told her the bad news. I'll be honest, I was expecting a serious case of "how can you be so irresponsible" or "this is a nightmare" but she actually took it way better and just said, "I'm disappointed but you won't find it there, let's just get a new one".

The conversation was interrupted by my phone ringing:

-Hello?

-Hi, this is Chris, I read that you lost your ring?

-Yes, I did, I'm so happy you called, I lost it an hour ago at third beach

-Well, I am at work right now, I will finish in about 15 minutes, I'm willing to go there tonight...

-Really? Ok, let's do it!

-Ok, I will go home right after I finish, grab my gear and meet you on third beach in 40 minutes.

-Great, meet you there, thank you!

After I hang up, I started debating in my head about how crazy it was to go back to third beach (it was 10.30 pm already) with a man that I never met before, in the search for a ring that I already spent 40-minute searching for. Plus my wife didn't seem so mad about it either.

But I had a good feeling about it, so I put on a jacket and head to back to the beach.

At 11.15 the phone rings again, and Chris says: "I'm here, meet me at the parking lot"

I had a plastic pasta strainer in my hand, and a flashlight, I quickly greet him with a smile and he looks at me and said:

"you won't need that Pablo, I have something way more sophisticated".

He opened the door of his car and grabbed what seems like a carbon fibre tool with a seriously cool sand scoop and a metal detector that also seemed very advanced and then said to me "I will find your ring, I don't care how long it takes"

After this display of confidence and good vibes my hopes went up the roof, I thought: wow, this guy has a very peculiar line of work, I am in good hands.

We walked to the area where I was when I lost it and he asked me to describe what happened. Then, beeeeep, I played cool, but my heart was pounding, he scoops the area where it beep and said: bah, just a can tab". A minute later another beep, this time, I kept my hopes a bit lower, he scoops and nothing, just more garbage.

10 minutes later another beep, he scoops and comes back with something in his hand, "is this your ring?" Now I was really about to have a heart attack, I grabbed it but something felt wrong, it was lighter, and less shinny than mine. I replied "nop sorry, this is not my ring, what are the odds..."

And then, he said, "How about this one?!"

-OMG!!!! My ring!!!!

I was off the roof, my happiness was soo real, I couldn't stop thinking about how grateful I was to find this character, to recover my ring, and to be able to bring awesome news back home.

I wanted to give Chris a hug, but Covid-19 rules dictated a more chilled attitude and I just said: "Wow man, thank you so much, you are a legend!!!"

We walked back to our cars, I thought to myself, wow, that job must be the most rewarding job ever, this guy is not only very professional at what he does, but he must also get a nice warm feeling every time he does it.

I will always remember this man, he was generous, courageous (meeting a stranger on a dark beach on a Tuesday night to help him find his ring?) and very professional.

This may sound too good to be true, but it was exactly as I described it,, one of those stories that rarely happen (to me at least).

Thank you Chris! You are a legend

Best Regards,

Pablo Evans

testimonial for Craig Marten (2021)

I lost my wedding band in knee deep water at the beach. The current & waves were strong that day, so I knew the likelihood of finding it was slim to none. As I was looking for metal detector rentals in my area, I found Craig & TheRingFinders website. I reached out to Craig (who responded back quickly) and we had an appointment scheduled to meet the following day in the general area where I lost my ring. I had personally looked for hours the day I lost it & Craig was able to find it within 5 minutes... Truly unbelievable! A very simple & straightforward process & I would recommend anyone to contact him in the event you have lost something of value. Thanks Craig!

Thank you so much!!!

He was extremely experienced and professional...

testimonial for Donald OReilly (2021)

My wife and I were at the beach playing ball with friends, and I was worried about my ring falling off so I put it in her purse without telling her. A while after we left the beach, I asked her to get the ring from her purse and it wasn’t there! We realized she dropped it while taking out her other items. We and our friends spent a long time combing the beach but found nothing. Two days later we came back with Donald and he found our ring! He was extremely experienced and professional and we are so happy to get my ring back. He took less than 30 minutes. This saved our vacation!

My husband and I can’t thank you enough!

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2021)

After contacting Dave he was on his way to help within 20 minutes! In a race with the sunset he made a few passes on the sand with the medal detector, stopped for a moment, and pulled up the ring! My friend and I were cheering from the beach as my kids were cheering from the balcony. My husband and I can’t thank you enough!

I would definitely hire Al again and highly recommend him!” - Lynn M.

testimonial for Alan Yarmesch (2021)

"We asked Alan to help me find a lost earring at a public park last week. The earring was made with the smallest amount of metal, hardly enough for any metal detector to pick up. Alan was honest about the chances of finding it, which were slim. Neverheless, I wanted to make every effort before giving up. Alan was realistic about the chances of locating it, but regardless he showed up with enthusiasm and encouragement. He was prompt, professional, honest, and patient. The equipment he uses is high-end, and he explained how the settings work so I had confidence in his skills. I would definitely hire Al again and highly recommend him!” - Lynn M.

My husband and I would highly recommend this service and Steve...

testimonial for Steve Smith (2021)

Steve aka Life Saver!!! Thank you so so incredibly much for helping my husband and I locate his wedding band in the pitch dark at Malibu beach! Steve knew the beach so well and helped us find the ring in less than 1 minute.

Thank you,

testimonial for Kati Schmidt (2021)

I lost my wedding ring while doing Spring gardening in the back yard. Kati came the day after I contacted her, and was spot on the time she said she’d show up. I brought her out to the back yard and she patiently scanned through bags of debris until she found the ring – it was a great relief! She was also such a nice person. I hope I never lose my wedding ring again, but I’d call her in a heartbeat if I did. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing this incredibly helpful service.

this is a story to share, working with real-life treasure hunters – that’s priceless!

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2021)

Treasure Hunter and Ring Finder Ray Pulls Off Late Inning Victory!

A wedding band that has been on my finger for over 21 years, except for Friday night, as it was somewhere in my yard.

Rays no quit attitude and commitment after a first pass, a second grid search, raking leaves for visual checks, and after @40 minutes, I heard Ray call my name, on his hands and knees, in the thick of some shrubs along the fence-line – holding my ring!

Please call Ray: He was at my house within 90 minutes from the time I first texted him! And am glad I opted against buying a metal detector for 2 reasons: 1) a second set of professional eyes with the right know-how and tools pays off; 2) this is a story to share, working with real-life treasure hunters – that’s priceless!

Thanks again Ray

Highly recommended to anyone that needs a quick find if you've lost something important to you.

testimonial for Mark Ellis (2021)

Mark,

Thanks again for coming to my house and finding my ring. The service you provide is top notch. The entire experience from reaching out on the phone to meeting you in person and watching how you find lost objects was amazing. In my case, I lost my wedding ring in the front area of my property while shovelling snow. There was no way I would have ever found it without hiring you and especially because you found it in the hedges. Highly recommended to anyone that needs a quick find if you've lost something important to you.

You are truly remarkably.

testimonial for Pete McGhee (2021)

Thanks Pete for a truly outstanding effort. I had given up all hope but you wouldn't give up hope even when it was cold, dark, sinister seas and you were wet. Having my family rings back again to hand onto another generation is something I will always be grateful for. You are truly remarkably.

Thank you so much Joe!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2021)

Hey Joe, I would just like to thank you again so much for meeting me out there! I know we were out there for a long time and I was starting to lose hope but I’m super glad you never gave up. I know how much that ring meant to Sharon. I thank God for being with us that day and allowing you to find it even after 2 days. Thank you so much Joe!

he is very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Thank you Ron, again you are a lifesaver.

testimonial for Ron Forster (2021)

I lost my wedding ring in a friend's backyard and after looking through the snow for hours I realized there was no sense in continuing to search for the needle in a haystack. I figured I could continue my search during subsequent visits or wait until spring and hope that it would still be there. My plans changed when I found Ron on The Ring Finders. I was pleased to see that there was not much risk in having Ron come help me look for the ring so I decided to contact him. He was polite on the phone and was able to meet me the next day. Within a half hour or so of meeting Ron my ring was found, shamefully in the exact spot I had spent so much time looking for it in the first place. Needless to say, I was extremely relieved. If it was not for Ron I'm not sure if I ever would have found it.

I enjoyed "helping" him look for my ring, he is very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. Thank you Ron, again you are a lifesaver.

If you lose your ring I would highly recommend you call Jeff Morgan...

If you've lost something cherished, Keith is the guy to go to!

testimonial for Keith Wille (2021)

"Keith is responsive, super-nice, knowledgeable, and found my heirloom engagement ring I lost in the snow! If you're in for a bit of a story, please keep reading. Otherwise, all you need to know is that Keith is the real deal. My fiancé Greg and I were on our way to watch the Super Bowl when I took my engagement ring off to put some hand cream on. No big deal, right? Well, I never ended up putting the ring back on. With my hands full, I hopped out of his truck and onto the driveway of our friend's house. The ring was unknowingly flung off my lap and into the driveway. It wasn't until we had gotten settled down inside that I noticed the ring was gone. What could have been an easy and routine find became nearly impossible due to a fresh coat of snow on top of about a foot of snow from a recent storm. In addition to this, our friend shoveled the remaining snow from the driveway into his yard after we had arrived, which further complicated the finding of the ring. Our entire group of great friends sprang into action in the search for the ring. We even used a metal detector! Yet still no luck. I was absolutely devastated. Any engagement ring is sentimental, but this is also an heirloom ring, which added even more feelings of guilt and helplessness. Greg began googling "how to find a lost ring in the snow." Google knows everything! He came across a site called The Ring Finders, where he found Keith. He sent Keith an email, and within hours, Keith got in contact with us, and we arranged a search. Despite nearly a 2-hour drive (each way!) and even more inclement weather, Keith made the trip to help us that evening. He assured us that if the ring was, in fact, there, he would find it. He was right! After an hour and a half or so of continued shoveling, chiseling, and searching through the snow and ice, Keith located the ring! We couldn't believe it! We were SO ECSTATIC! It almost felt like we got engaged all over again! If you've lost something cherished, Keith is the guy to go to! Thank you, Keith!!!

We are so grateful that Chris gave this story a happy ending!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2021)

Well it's a Happy Valentines Day after all! On the afternoon of February 13, we had been

building a snow sculpture in our yard. When I came in, to my horror, I

realized that my precious wedding ring must have gotten lost in the snow when I

took my gloves off to take a picture. We searched but couldn't find it. I

was devastated! Then my husband had the brilliant idea to call Chris

Turner, founder of TheRingFinders, who had been written up in the paper last year.

Chris kindly came out from Vancouver first thing in the morning of Valentine’s

Day with all his metal detecting equipment and sure enough, he found it after

about 40 minutes of searching. Not only had I dropped it, but then later a

snow plough had come by and buried it in a mound at the side of the driveway. He

was almost as delighted as we were. We are so grateful that Chris gave

this story a happy ending!

Thank the Lord for Keith...

testimonial for Keith Wille (2021)

Just this past year, life was a rollercoaster. My husband had recently gone overseas for a year, and I gave birth to my beautiful little boy. With my husband being gone and raising our baby, not only did he miss the birth, but he will be missing my birthday and our anniversary.

We decided to upgrade my ring to make last year and this year a little bit more memorable. It signifies the bond we have created over these last 10 years, and nothing can stand in our way. Plus all the exciting things to come.

When the rings flew off my hand in the snowstorm, I was devastated. The one thing to show and look on of our history together was gone. I searched for an hour before giving up and losing hope. Thank the Lord for Keith for coming as soon as he could and taking the time to shovel over two feet of snow to find my beautiful rings.

He brought back so much joy not only to me but to my husband who is thousands of miles away.

I would never be able to find my ring without Keith!

testimonial for Keith Wille (2021)

Keith was excellent. I lost my wedding ring after slipped on ice and my ring flew off into a snow pile in a public area at 9 PM. I contacted Keith that night after searching for my ring for a few hours. Keith booked me for a search the next day. He came prepared with a plan and found my ring buried about a foot deep in the snow within the first half-hour of searching. He was extremely kind and quick! I would never be able to find my ring without Keith!

We were so glad to learn about the The Ring Finders...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2021)

"We are so grateful that Brian Rudolph who was able to come to our home with his metal detecting equipment to search for a lost ring. He meticulously searched through our lawn and gardens using various devices.He was careful in the gardens not to hurt the flowers. After less than 2 hours, Brian found the wedding ring which had fallen off my husband's finger while playing basketball in the driveway. The whole experience was delightful. We were so glad to learn about the The Ring Finders - it was a much better option than renting a metal detector ourselves!”

Thank you so much for the safe return of a family heirloom!

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2021)

“Brian, thank you so much for all of your help! My mother was extremely happy when I told her this morning that you found the earring, and I am so relieved that it is safe! Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your service! Thank you so much for the safe return of a family heirloom! When it was discovered that I had lost my mother’s gold hoop earring during graduation pictures, I was, needless to say, quite panicked. I knew that searching all of the grassy sites would be pointless, and was beginning to lose hope. I felt extraordinarily guilty when she told me that it was a precious gift from her sister in her youth. Sentimentally, those earrings were priceless to her. I knew I had to get it back, but didn’t know how. I mulled over my options, but none seemed plausible. Searching on foot proved fruitless. But then I found you - “The Ring Returner” after reading about you on the THE RING FINDER’S website! You were very proactive and had excellent timing. You went to the search for the earring the day I called you! You were meticulous and detailed in your search, as well as being extremely thorough and communicative and eventually…you found it! My mother was extremely joyful at its return, and now all is well…thanks to you! I am extremely grateful for someone who does an act so kind for complete strangers, and one can be sure to trust Brian for the safe return of their valuables. Thank you Brian so much!”

I can't recommend Keith enough!

testimonial for Keith Wille (2021)

I can't recommend Keith enough! He responded quickly to our call for help and arrived right when he said he would. He located my son's wedding band from a hole it had fallen in. He was calm and reassuring the whole time. This wedding ring was worn by his great great grandfather for over 50 years then passed to my dad, Andrew's grandfather, who wore it over 50 years then to Andrew. So you can see how important it was for us to get it back! Thank you so much Keith!

This man is a true Good Samaritan in every sense. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

testimonial for Woodrow Engle (2021)

While taking wedding photos in the park I lost a sapphire and diamond earring that was borrowed from a lifelong friend. The earring was her deceased mother’s and my “something borrowed and something blue.”

As you can image I was devastated. Unfortunately it put a sad damper on the afternoon. Finally that night I contacted Woodrow a complete stranger who agreed to meet me at the park the next morning at 7:30 am! What a wonderful guy. I let myself hope we might find the earring with his help.

After a few hours and much diligent effort Woodrow found the earring under an inch or dirt. One of us must have stepped on it during our initial search. I cried with relief and joy.

When saying our goodbyes I had to pressure Woodrow to take a reward; often he only asks for gas money, but he deserves so much more. If you can financially support his work so he can help others please do.

This man is a true Good Samaritan in every sense.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My husband lost his wedding band in our backyard on New Year's Eve while throwing a ball for our dog. I called Ron and he immediately came out since snow was coming that evening.

you've lost something precious, call Brian!

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2021)

"One evening I was hustling to the gym in downtown DC, running late for a workout class. I took off my engagement ring and tucked it into my bag, but when I got home it was nowhere to be found. The ring has huge sentimental value - the band was custom designed for me, and the diamond originally belonged to my mother in law, who recently passed away. My spouse and I were heartbroken. I searched the gym - nothing. We were terrified that it had slipped out of my bag on the street... what would be the odds of recovering it then? After filing a police report, calling local pawn shops, checking eBay, and printing "LOST" signs, I thought if there was any chance of finding the ring on the street, a metal detector would be necessary. I stumbled across TheRingFinders.com in a Google search and found Brian's profile. When I called Brian, I was expecting a polite "please schedule an appointment" response. Instead, he spent over an hour on the phone with me, talking me through every step I had taken since the last time I saw the ring. He was extremely considerate, reassuring, and positive while digging for details to narrow down where the ring might be. He offered to come out that night, but after I got off the phone I decided to take one more look around our apartment. Brian had said that night time is actually a good time to look for a ring because it will reflect bright light. So even though I had already scoured our place, I turned on my phone's flashlight and looked again. Lo and behold the ring had fallen out of my gym bag, behind a piece of furniture and slipped down inside another container - but it was peeking out just enough to catch the light from my phone. If not for Brian, it would have been weeks, if not months, before I recovered my ring - time I would have spent grieving my most cherished possession. Brian's thoughtful and thorough consultation put me at ease that I had an expert on the case, and gave me the clue that led me to find it. He has clearly seen it all and cares a ton about the people he is helping as much as solving the mystery of each misplaced item. If you're in Maryland/DC/VA and you've lost something precious, call Brian! You won't find a better partner to help locate it. Thank you, Brian!"

testimonial for Craig Marten (2020)

If you need a Ring finder, Craig is your guy!!!! I dropped my engagement ring at night on Christmas Day. Myself and about 12 others looked for hours and had no luck . The next day we woke up early and started looking again and nothing. On Dec 27 I came across The Ring finders and I called Craig, he picked up immediately and said he would be out the next morning.

He came out first thing on Monday morning and was so professional and on time. My fiancé explained the scenario of what happened and we were afraid that the ring may have gone into the lake but Craig said that he knew it couldn’t have gone that far. He was very professional and knew exactly where to look and was very patient. Craig found the ring in less than an hour. WE WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND CRAIG!!!!

Thank you Craig for finding our ring.

We are so grateful to Alison, who was able to assist us in finding the lost wedding ring. We had bought a metal detector ourselves but had no clue how to determine the difference between a nail in the ground and a ring. It’s always best to call a professional like Alison who has the experience

Unbelievable. So grateful for you Kati! If it is lost, she will find it.

I would recommend Raymond to anyone who has lost a ring.

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2020)

I can not say enough wonderful things about Raymond and his efforts to find my ring. My stomach had been in knots for two days while the ring was lost and like he mentioned when he found my ring and gave it back to me the tears of happiness just took started pouring out. I was worried I would never see the ring again! I was worried that once he saw the large area to search that he would not want to take on the task but Raymond did not shy away from the challenge. He had a plan and a system with his flags to ensure he did a thorough search and he never got in a rush despite the cold temperatures. After finding the ring he showed us exactly where he found it which I really appreciated. Raymond was so nice, pleasant to talk to, and although I hope I never lose my ring again if I do i feel like I have made a friend and I will gladly call him again. I would recommend Raymond to anyone who has lost a ring.

We are thrilled and have the highest possible recommendation for using Kati’s services.

testimonial for Kati Schmidt (2020)

My daughter went sledding on a hill by Brookside Dr. after the latest snowstorm dropped about 8 inches of snow in our area and dropped her expensive iPhone. We made three attempts to look for it, using the Find My Phone app and pinging and so on. No joy! I posted about this loss in the Happy Millburn FB group and someone suggested I contact Kati. I did – and am really glad I did! She was efficient, courteous and very single-minded in her effort to find the phone. It took her about 90 minutes. She combed the area around a clump of trees on the hill and went back and forth until she retrieved it. We are thrilled and have the highest possible recommendation for using Kati’s services.

She is an amazing soul and great at her job. If you lose something I trust in Kati to find it...

testimonial for Kati Schmidt (2020)

I was shooting a music video yesterday and lost my ring due to the frigid cold air. After trying to buy and use a metal detector with no help left I googled how to find a ring in the snow and wallah who would’ve known there was such a thing as the ring finders. I called several people that morning and when I told them my area, I was referred to Kati. Kati answered the phone swiftly and said yes absolutely I will be right there. A short time later Kati arrived and 5 mins upon arrival the ring was found. She is an amazing soul and great at her job. If you lose something I trust in Kati to find it. Thanks Kati. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Sending love, vibes and blessings your way. Thanks again.

You are truly a blessing...

testimonial for Mike McInroe (2020)

I cannot put into words how awesome Mike is. I was totally devastated & convinced I lost this ring. I went online looking for help and I found Mr. Mike McInroe. He answered on the first call and came out immediately on a

Sunday afternoon. Mike honestly went above and beyond for me digging through trash and looking through woods in the dark to ensure there was no spot left unsearched. After looking for about 3 hours he came to my door with the good news that he had located it. He didn’t give up and didn’t let the circumstances shy him away from doing an incredibly thorough & successful job. I can’t thank you enough, Mike. You are truly a blessing. If you or anyone you know have lost any type of jewelry whether it was today, last week, or last year; give Mike McInroe a call!!!!!!!!!

The Ring Finders service is one of a kind! Chris's dedication and care when looking for something so sentimental is unparalleled. It meant the world to my wife and I that we got my wedding band back after being a bonehead myself for losing it.

I cannot recommend The Ring Finder's enough. From the moment I called Chris, he was sure he was going to be able to find my lost ring and it kept me at ease. Chris even took the time to explain what he was doing when he was searching for my ring with his metal detector, which established my confidence in his ability to do his job very professionally.

testimonial for Tracy Santee (2020)

After losing my wedding ring the day of the first major snowfall in the Lehigh Valley, I was thinking of every way I could try and find it! After some furious googling, it became clear that I had no idea what type of metal detector I would need (let alone how to use it!). I came across TheRingFinders website and Tracy’s name came up as the local expert. He answered my call immediately and was able to make the trip to Bethlehem within 2 days. After a quick conversation regarding where I suspected the ring might be, Tracy fired up his equipment and found it within 15 minutes. Job well done, he’s a true professional! Cannot recommend his services highly enough, thank you Tracy!!

You are an absolute legend...

testimonial for Woodrow Engle (2020)

You are an absolute legend. Not only did you find my wedding ring on Stinson Beach, but you did it THE SAME DAY I called. And then you waited around for me to drive up from SF, in the dark.

I am really, really grateful. Thanks for being rad.

Tristan.

Now I will be able to wear my ring on my wedding day.

testimonial for Michael Nichols (2020)

Michael,

I cannot thank you enough for finding something that was very precious to me. I thought it was gone forever. I am so grateful that you found it! Now I will be able to wear my ring on my wedding day.

I really recommend this guy to find what you lost.

testimonial for Luke Schlining (2020)

My husband and I went to walk around the neighborhood last Saturday and I lost my ring after we took the last picture! We were looking at that place for almost one hour with no success. Next day we went with hot water to see if we were lucky but we didn’t have it. Yesterday when Luke came, we went again and he found the ring in 3 minutes. It was amazing and we were so happy. It’s not just a ring, it has too much meaning for us. I can’t describe all I felt in that moment. I really recommend this guy to find what you lost. Thank you very much again Luke!! Blessings

I enthusiastically recommend your service to anyone...

We would not hesitate to recommend Gary ...

testimonial for Gary Penta (2020)

"Gary Penta is the BEST!!! I will never forget the evening when my ring slid off my finger, bounced on the decking, and dropped into Lake Dora. Not able to sleep, I found the Ring Finders website around 3 am on a Sunday. The next morning my husband and I, along with many friends, desperately looked for someone to recommend a diver we could trust. By early afternoon, I contacted Gary in desperation. He immediately made arrangements to meet my husband at the marina. Bill (my husband) was impressed with Gary's integrity and professionalism. After 15 minutes in the water, the ring was found and the smile on Bill's face says it all. We would not hesitate to recommend Gary and only suggest that if you lose a piece of jewelry, you should contact him as soon as possible."

Thanks Evan and theringfinders!

testimonial for Evan Cappon (2020)

I lost my wedding band while playing with my dogs on a snowy evening at my acreage outside of Calgary. I knew the general area where it should be so I spent an hour or two crawling around in the snow with no luck. After looking online for a little while trying to figure out if I should rent a metal detector I found the website theringfinders. After browsing around the website I decided this was my best option at finding my ring so I emailed Evan. Evan got back to me the same evening and after a brief professional conversation offered to come right out that evening and look for it. Once Evan arrived he was nothing but professional and transparent and we were able to find the ring after about 30minutes. I would highly recommend Evan in the future. Thanks Evan and theringfinders!

a true act of kindness...

testimonial for Steve Smith (2020)

Steve,

I just wanted to send you a quick email to thank you again for the amazing find this afternoon.

I was fairly certain that all hope was lost and I was preparing for the worst, yet within minutes of meeting you, you had found my wedding ring! Simply amazing! Your willingness to take the time out of your day to drive down to the beach to help a total stranger is a true act of kindness. I am truly grateful.

I appreciate your time and efforts and hope to see you again sometime down on the water.

Best,

Steve

I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in search of something precious to them! He is reliable, positive and determined!

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2020)

Georgia from Charlottesville

I had almost given up hope until, on a whim, I googled “lost ring professional metal detectors.” Luckily, I was led to this site and Ray! He took my call immediately, and we were able to set up a time for him to come to my house right away. It was a scorcher, but that did not deter him in any way. He searched for hours, and even though he didn’t find it on the first try, he was not at all phased. He gave me a plan moving forward and thank God we decided to take another stab at it. Again, Ray was quick to set up a follow up search and the rest is history!

I would absolutely recommend him to anyone in search of something precious to them! He is reliable, positive and determined!

Thank you, Ray!

thank you Chris Turner so grateful and thankful...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

I was devastated after accidentally throwing my husbands custom wedding ring into the blackberries, we just celebrated our 30th anniversary and he added some diamonds to my custom ring. I was sick to my stomach thinking it was gone forever. After searching with no luck we called “Chris Turner” (Theringfinder) and gave us renewed hope. Unfortunately, it wasn’t as easy as we thought he too didn’t find it on his first trip out...but with his determination and skill on the fourth trip, he found it!!! Couldn’t have done it without him , and a joy to work with as well , thank you Chris Turner so grateful and thankful

Patti Lawlor ( mission possible)

He was prompt, professional and did a great job.

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2020)

As you can see in the picture, we live in the woods. During fall, the leaves blow around and form little piles of ‘leaf drifts’. The ring slipped off while I was scooping up one of these piles and dumping it into a bin. Since I knew where it had come off, I was sure finding it wasn’t going to be a problem.

After spending an hour searching the same 10×10 foot area, I broke down and had my wife come help. Still no luck. It turns out a small silver and gold ring is naturally camouflaged to match the surrounding leaves. It was getting colder and darker and the whole process was disheartening. I went in and found theringfinders.com.

Ray came out and a short time later we got the text. He was prompt, professional and did a great job. I hope not to ever have to use his services again but would no hesitate to call him for any sort of recovery. Thanks Ray!

I can’t thank Chris and his wife enough...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

I was spending a cozy romantic weekend with my beautiful significant other at a charming bistro hotel in Whistler mountain B.C. While there we did a few day trips including one to a lake side beach park.

While at the park I initiated what I thought would be a harmless snowball fight with my lovely “Vicky” by gingerly lobbing a snowball in her direction. Unfortunately, a very special ring came off my throwing hand and along with the snowball went in the direction of my partner and landed somewhere in the snow-covered ground. I can’t fully describe the incredible value I had for that ring. As an artist not only had I invested many hours in the process of carving a custom mold out of wax but the gold that I used to cast the piece came from many personal sources. 2 family members who had both died of cancer had contributed some of their gold jewelry to make up the almost three ounces that I required to complete the piece.

Vicky and I returned twice to the area spending a few hours each time to look for the ring but to no avail. Upon returning to Vancouver I shared my disappointment with my sister who had heard of and contacted Chris Turner from TheRingFinders. I subsequently spoke with Chris over the phone. His confidence in finding my ring even in a snow-covered park was incredible. I truly could sense his energy over the phone. He was so positive that it gave me a lot of hope that I could possibly hope to be reunited with my personal treasure.

The following day when Chris and his wife drove a few hours on the highway and went directly to the park in the township of Whistler. Amazingly within a few hours, I got a phone call from them saying that after doing a technical grid search of the area while utilizing a metal detector they had found my gem! I was gobsmacked with the happy news that they had found my ring!

I can’t thank Chris and his wife enough. They truly love the hunt and did not charge me anything specific for their services but suggested a donation of what I thought appropriate.

I still can’t believe my good fortune because of their overwhelming tenacity.

Francis Buys

Thanks guys!

testimonial for Richard Archer (2020)

Thank you so much for finding the ring for my husband! I can’t even describe how devastated he was about losing it. He is very sentimental and this ring meant everything to him!

Sincerely, Stacy Stevens

If you are missing something of great value or importance to you please reach out to Brian - he is wonderful...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2020)

“I contacted Brian late on a Friday evening after I had lost my family heirloom diamond engagement ring earlier that afternoon. After searching and searching where I thought it slipped off my finger I put up signs and realized I needed a professional. Brian got back to me the next morning and was extremely kind and responsive. We spoke over the phone and he gathered additional information and then (since I had put up signs and searched already) we made a plan to meet the very next evening (Sunday).

I met Brian in the first spot where I thought I had lost it. He searched the parking lot as well as my car, bag, jacket - basically anywhere it could have gone missing. I was pretty certain it slipped off my finger and I knew the approximate timeframe, I just didn't know where it happened. Once again, Brian was so kind and incredibly thorough during the whole process. He went with me to two more locations where I thought it could have been. He kept talking me through everything and was so positive as we looked for the ring.

By the end of the search, we still did not find it. I was pretty sad but Brian was as well. It was clear that he cares very much and really wants to help people find their missing items. We had a good talk and he again helped me think through all my steps that day. As we did I mentioned that I had put away some laundry in a bag that day before I went out. He instructed me to thoroughly search the laundry and my luggage (I was away that weekend) and he told me that he believed in his heart I would still find it. I wasn't sure myself but his optimism was infectious.

Soon after I got home I let my husband know that I didn't find the ring but I had to search the laundry. An hour later I searched the bag item by item very carefully just like I saw Brian do as he searched my coat and bag. I got to the very middle of the pile and SURPRISE - there was my ring sitting right there!!! It had slipped off while I was gathering laundry and I had not realize for about two hours while I ran errands. I called Brian and he was so happy. I absolutely credit Brian with playing a major role in finding the ring and believe that if i had not reached out to him I may not have found it. Most likely the laundry would have been thrown in the machine and who knows what may have happened to the ring from there. Thank you so much Brian for all your help!

If you are missing something of great value or importance to you please reach out to Brian - he is wonderful and he will help you to the best of his abilities to get it back!”

testimonial for James Badgett (2020)

There are no words for the gratitude we feel for what James Badgett did for our family today. James, you are truly a godsend!!

James came out to help my husband and I find my diamond engagement/wedding ring this morning (on a Saturday!) after we contacted him late last night thanks to TheRingFinders.com. He arrived right on time and was ready to brave a cold, rainy day to search a grassy hillside near our home. I had some idea where the ring was but was not totally certain. My stomach was turning with the desperation and fear I felt that my ring would never be found. James asked all the right questions to pinpoint the location. He was very patient, kind, and FOUND THE RING in under an hour!!! He didn’t even mind the chattering of our two boys and their questions of him, nor did he judge our situation in any way. If anything, he reassured us with every step. I cannot begin to describe the relief I felt when James found my ring. I was sobbing and completely fell to the ground. My husband and I are SO, SO, SO grateful for James and his incredible generosity. He really knows his stuff and we would recommend him a million times over. THANK YOU JAMES!!!!

We could not be happier with Tracy and would recommend him to anyone!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

Chris Turner, from The Ring Finders, was so very helpful and thorough when it came to finding my husband Fergus' wedding ring.

In October of 2019, Fergus and I were staying at an Air BnB in Agassiz, BC. While sitting out on the back porch one evening, my husband was talking and gesturing with his hand when his ring accidentally flew off his finger, in the dark, and more than likely under the deck we were near. We did do a preliminary search that evening and the next morning but could not find his ring. There was not much we could do at the time, but we did keep in touch with the lovely owners of the BnB, who also pulled up some planks to search for us, but they had no luck either.

Now, we jump forward about a year later, and I happened to be watching Global News where they showed the story of how Chris Turner found John Cryer's wedding ring on a Vancouver seawall. Well, I wondered if he could perhaps help Fergus and I find his wedding ring too???

I called Chris and he was so prompt at returning my call. Within a short period of our initial chat, and within a time frame that suited both the owners of the Air BnB, me and Chris, we went back to Agassiz to search for Fergus' ring.

Chris worked very hard and after a thorough search including prying up each and every plank of the deck, under the last possible place it could be, Chris found Fergus' ring!!! Please note, I had just about given up hope thinking an animal had taken it, when Chris asked me if the ring he held up was indeed Fergus' ring. Please watch his clever and fun video which captures this awesome amazing day ????????????

We highly recommend Chris to help you find lost jewelry. He is very personable, professional and does not give up!

Sincerely, thank you again Chris, from both Fergus and I. We are over the moon to have his special ring back where it belongs!!!

Kind regards,

Alison and Fergus

Thank you Chris, You will always be part of our History on our beloved ring, excellent job...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

For us, Our ring is the bond of our marriage. The witness of our love and affection. Making us one. Unfortunately, it slipped into the park with our son trying to run around. All the energy was drained. Looking and searching was exhausting. Asking people around. Still Could not find it. Thinking where and when was the last time we had it.

Then a guy came and suggested to call TheRingFinders. We remembered the Global News about it and call Chris Turner. He returned our call and gave us reassurance and comforted us that he will find it 1st thing in the morning. We gave up our search that day as it was night time. On the next day at

7am we met this wonderful guy Chris, full of energy ready for the search with his detecting gear.

We searched as well feeling hopeful. But time passes by and still no sign of it. It's very depressing thinking it's already gone and we have to accept it. After 45 mins. Chris called us and asked if we remembered his words. Is this your ring ????? Wow. The feeling is beyond. Tears of joy came Very Speechless. Thank you Chris, You will always be part of our History on our beloved ring, excellent job hoping you will continue to make people smile and happy by finding their rings.

Best regards,

Paul

Thank you Jeff Morgan for agreeing to help us…..

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2020)

This truly was an unbelievable recovery. We live in AZ and the rings had been lost on the course for almost 3 weeks, there was a lot of doubt, but I had to try. I kept thinking, a year from now, if I don’t at least give it my best shot, I would still wonder, what if? I am still in shock that we found them. When I look at them, it is with joy like never before. Thank you Jeff Morgan for agreeing to help us…..a 6 hour round trip in the car, and nearly 6 hours of searching. We couldn’t have done it without you!

I am so happy I found this service and Steve and will continue to recommend this to literally anyone ...

testimonial for Steve Smith (2020)

Ok, I seriously don't even know where to start! I lost my mother's gold ring at the beach, at night, and lost all hope that I would be able to find it. I was so heartbroken and was desperately looking online to rent my own metal detector. I didn't think I was going to find anything, but you know, I was super desperate.

SOMEHOW, I happened upon Steve's site, and man was he a lifesaver! He showed up at Santa Monica beach at 11 pm and found my ring within 5 minutes! When he said 24/7 service, he really meant it!

I am so happy I found this service and Steve and will continue to recommend this to literally anyone that loses a valuable item at the beach.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for preserving my mother's legacy Steve. I am forever grateful!

testimonial for Don Marshall (2020)

I recommend Don and The Ring Finders to anyone who has lost a ring. I looked for it on three separate occasions with no luck and then contacted Don. I knew the general area where it was lost, and Don found it in less than fifteen minutes. I am still amazed that I got my ring back!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Evan!

testimonial for Evan Cappon (2020)

“One afternoon I was walking crescent heights in Calgary with my girls, one of which was a toddler who was on again/ off again getting a piggy back ride from mama. Upon our arrival at home, I felt what I thought was a hair on my neck to only discover my chain had snapped! Well on that chain was a ring left to me by my mother who passed away at the same time last year! I was devastated to say the least, we traveled a pretty vast distance with truly no rhyme or reason to our path. I went into panic mode and contacted the local school, put up posters and walked that area for countless hours- NOTHING!

The next day I posted something on Calgary lost and found to have someone suggest contacting a metal detector group, and from there I met Evan ( angel to say the least) in our chat I discovered he had already begun searching for the ring, not even knowing one another yet! (The school put out a post)

We met the following day, I showed him my route, he seemed doubtful yet optimistic as the distance was vast yet contained if that makes sense…?

This man searched for hours on end, and no ring to be found! Again just devastated. Especially as I was approaching the anniversary of my mother’s passing!

One day closer to the date, I got a message from Evan indicating that someone approached a metal detecting buddy of his and they believed the ring was found!!! My heart was in my throat- honestly.

Evan and his friend rushed to get that ring to me, and although that ring was damaged it was the ring!!! The band was damaged but all stones in place!

Evan went above and beyond to help me find this ring! From his countless hours of search, to holding my hand, and offering encouragement all along, to hand delivering the ring, but days before my mother’s passing anniversary.

In this case the ring finder was so good, the ring found him! I am forever indebted to him, not only for physical efforts but his support! Words can’t express what this man has done for me and if I ever lose anything again (fingers crossed I don’t) he’s the best guy for the case!

On a side note there was a cross on that chain too, and he still continues to search for it! I’m amazed at his devotion ( the thrill of the hunt? ????) either way I’m grateful beyond words! “

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Evan!

I am thankful for the internet, for TheRingFinders who share their talents. I will never forget you, Terry!

testimonial for Terry Causey (2020)

On October 1st, while working on replacing foundation vents, the ring on my right hand was hurting me as I hammered at the old mortar, in spite of the gauntlet gloves I wore as protection against poison ivy. I removed the glove and the ring which I dropped inside my bra. Don’t do this. I continued working, digging out dirt for vent wells, removing old mortar and vents, sitting, and lying in dirt for half of the day. That night, I realized that the ring was not in the “safe” place I had put it; I mentally retraced my steps which were fortunately minimal. I recalled hearing something drop when I was on an uncarpeted floor in our home, but could not recall where that was. Over the weekend I searched the grassy area around the house & raked the dirt. On the 4th I rented a metal detector for 4 hours and learned that while I could not locate my ring, the yard was worth digging up as there was a lot of response, I made 7 cents. During the ensuing days, I divided the probable search area into a grid with kebab skewers and crochet thread and ensured that no one walked there. My husband raked the area and sieved the dirt with doubled chicken wire. We wore a fluorescent headlamp to search at night in the hopes of catching a reflection from gold or stones. I also desperately cleaned in every nook & cranny and under every appliance in our home. I was becoming increasingly depressed. The ring was originally my grandmother’s engagement ring; it passed to her daughter, my aunt, who had no children, so it passed to me. I wore it with pride. My eldest daughter will inherit it. My grief was compounded by my lack of responsibility and the impending need to inform family members of the loss. The internet, which had educated me on all measures noted above, led me to The Ring Finders. I called Terry Causey on October 12th and he agreed to visit on the 13th in a last-ditch effort before I gave up actively searching. He visited as planned, was calm, realistic, and within 45 minutes, successful. I was overwhelmed with joy as I replaced the ring on my finger; I was holding my 16-month-old grandson who is named after the original owner’s son. I am thankful for the internet, for TheRingFinders who share their talents. I will never forget you, Terry! Thank you.

I highly recommend Mike for anyone who has lost something ...

testimonial for Mike McInroe (2020)

Loosing a ring can make your stomach turn especially when you watch it sink to the bottom of the ocean. Luckily a quick google search brought me to Mike McEnroe on theringfinders.com. After a quick phone call and a few hours Mike met me the same day at the New Smyrna Dunes Park where I lost me wedding band. Trying not to get my hopes up I anxiously waited as I watched Mike dive under in search of my ring. To my surprise he was able to locate the ring in less than 10 minutes. While the previous day my friend and I tried for two hours and had no luck! Mike exceeded my expectations by meeting me on such a short notice and on the weekend and finding my ring in a shorter time then it took to get all of his gear ready. I highly recommend Mike for anyone who has lost something metal. Nick

It made for a meaningful remembrance for the family. Thank you Mark!

testimonial for Mark Jachym (2020)

Mark went above and beyond when he found a high school class ring from 1972. He tracked down our school and contacted me asking if we had a graduate from 1972 with the initials engraved on the inside. The owner had recently passed but Mark cleaned up the ring and sent it to us and we were able to send it on to the original owner's family. It made for a meaningful remembrance for the family. Thank you Mark!

10 out of 10! Definitely would recommend. Amazing professional, even better guy.

testimonial for Rob Ellis (2020)

This is my story and from the bottom of my heart I am so thankful. I found theringfinders.com by chance, desperately searching the interned for what could be done. I said well even if this is fake, my earring can’t get more lost than it is and took a chance. Rob replied IMMEDIATELY and gave life to this search. I can now tell you, THIS IS FOR REAL!!!

Rob had been relentless in obtaining permission and a permit to search the field. He had come out to the park numerous times, for multiple hours each trip! He was so methodical in his search: roping off sections, measuring, and recording to ensure every inch of that field was covered. He was clearly a professional and knew what he was doing!

However, after so many times out, I asked “when do we call it quits?” Rob replied with “well we know it’s out here and I haven’t searched everywhere yet!” This is where I tell you that Rob NEVER lost the initial passion from when I told him how important this earring was to me. Even when my faith faded and I came to terms with at least having my other earring, Rob persisted with more passion than even I had. HE IS INCREDIBLE.

Rob was alone in his search, so I think it speaks to his honesty and integrity that when he found my earring, he immediately texted me and waited at the park for me to come pick it up. He truly brings so much joy back to people’s lives.

10 out of 10! Definitely would recommend. Amazing professional, even better guy. Thank you, Rob. Thank you!!!

Thank you Steve you’re talents is a blessing. With gratitude,

testimonial for Steve Smith (2020)

What can I possibly say except thank you to Steve for recovering my wedding ring. I lost it yesterday at the beach with my son and today had to go back and search for myself. Knowing the approximate area and searching for some time I took a break and said a few more prayers. I truly believe I was sent a thought to look online and search out someone who might be into finding missing items. Once I searched on yelp I came across some names but was directed to call Steve Smith. Praise God I did and my prayers were answered, he found it in record time! He is your #1 and only call and I’m grateful beyond words. Thank you Steve you’re talents is a blessing.

With gratitude,

Daniel

On behalf of my entire family, thank you, God Bless, and Merry Christmas Brian!"

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2020)

"One beautiful August day, my granddaughter, Journey, and I shared a very special moment as I handed down to her a delicate ring that had been shared by three generations, including myself, and my mother and daughter. Moments after receiving this most special gift, the sunshine on the lawn called to her and she found her five-year-old feet dancing with joy. That's when it happened. Horror struck her happy little face as she realized her prized ring was gone. Vanished. She desperately clung to her mother in silent sadness not sure how to tell me what had happened. Quickly, my son and his wife started scrambling on their hands and knees for what seemed like an eternity....but as the afternoon turned to dusk, the search was called off. My husband borrowed a metal detector and searched for days for the irreplaceable ring, still nothing. And that seemed to be that.

Until four long months later...

It was coming up on Christmas and Journey's mom had an idea. I received a phone call from Brian Rudolph with The Ring Finders. I assumed there was a slim shot of him finding anything, but his inspiring personality told me story after stories of glorious findings and said that there was more than just a good chance that the ring would be found. He didn't think four months was long at all and proceeded to describe a ring he found thirteen years later!

That very night he came with his gear to search for the ring. It was dark and cold and pouring down rain, and yet he searched. A couple of hours into the operation, he told me it was time to call it a night. I knew better than to have gotten my hopes up. But on his way out, Brian informed me that someone had just dropped a package in my mailbox. And there it was. Against all odds in my mind, a gift from Santa: the ring! Brian had found it! And not just found it, but made it a magical Christmas gift to be remembered and cherished for all time to come!

On behalf of my entire family, thank you, God Bless, and Merry Christmas Brian!"

testimonial for Steve Smith (2020)

Hi Steve,

I cannot thank you enough for finding my wedding ring today at the beach. I was so discouraged when I first lost it and then you showed up and were not going to stop until it was found! I appreciate the extra hours you stayed to look. It’s amazing there are such great people in the world. Thank you so much again! We need more people like you in the world.

I would highly recommend using Greg...

testimonial for Greg Bradford (2020)

“Modern Day Treasure Hunter”

In early June 2020, I was floating a river with 4 friends when I, unfortunately, lost my wedding ring. The timing was less than ideal as my anniversary was the following weekend. I had come to terms with the fact that I would probably never see my ring again when I stumbled upon Greg Bradford’s contact information and thought to myself, “why not?” I told all my friends and family that I had reached out to a treasure hunter to take on the challenge.

After the first conversation with Greg, I knew I had spoken to the right person. He was thoughtful, caring, and expressed real excitement and optimism about reuniting me with my wedding ring. Not to mention I think he looked forward to the challenge. Fast forward 7 weeks, Greg went to the river on three different occasions to search for my ring. Greg was determined not to be defeated and always expressed confidence that he would be successful. During the process, he got himself certified as a Scuba diver once realizing he would need to be underwater for an extended period of time. After several hours of searching with scuba gear, Greg found my ring. After some humorous texts from Greg, he called me immediately and I could hear the joy in his voice as I’m sure he could hear the shock in mine. It may have been one of the few times in my life that I was at a loss for words. After gathering my thoughts, I immediately reached out to all the disbelievers and told them about Greg’s triumphant success. I can’t express how grateful for all his hard work and for never giving up. Hopefully, you don’t lose anything of great value, but if you do, I would highly recommend using Greg.

For anyone reading, please give Rob a call if you have lost any jewelry. You will not regret it!

testimonial for Rob Ellis (2020)

Rob,

We cannot thank you enough! At the end of that first day, we were just at a loss for where the ring could be. It was like the ground opened up and swallowed it whole. Having exhausted all other options, I turned to the internet just grasping for straws. We came across your page and immediately I knew we had to give you a call. What did we have to lose?! You were so helpful and optimistic that we could find the ring together, it made me believe there was hope again. Your quick response time (less than 2 hours!) and willingness to travel was so greatly appreciated. We had a lot of hoops to jump through, but your persistence and professionalism made all the difference in the successful recovery of this ring. I still can’t believe we found it, thank you again for everything!

For anyone reading, please give Rob a call if you have lost any jewelry. You will not regret it! I would have never thought I would be in the situation I was in, or that a man I found on the internet would save the day. But he did, and I will forever be grateful!

Steve is the real deal. A truly nice person wanting to help others...

testimonial for Steve Smith (2020)

I just want to acknowledge the professionalism of Steve Smith of TheRingFinders.

From the moment I reached out to him, I knew this man was a professional.

His care in asking the right questions. His ability to arrive quickly. His compassion and quiet fortitude in his search.

I would call him an angel. I had lost my wedding ring and I had all but lost hope of recovery. I believed it would be a real miracle to find my ring after 3 days lost at the beach. He found it in 5 minutes! It was completely miraculous.

Steve is the real deal. A truly nice person wanting to help others. What a great job!

So grateful to have met this wonderful person!

I couldn't be happier with Stephane's service, and I can highly recommend him to anyone...

testimonial for Stephane Philippe (2020)

I had just about given up hope when Stephane arrived. I had lost my gold wedding band the day before. While throwing a ball around in the backyard, the ring had slipped off my finger and into the grass. I searched for hours, even on my hands and knees, and still, the ring didn't turn up. It took Stephane about 45 minutes to do what I wasn't able to do in four or five hours. As for arranging his visit, he was extremely flexible and responsive – he was even prepared to come to the house the very night that I had lost my ring. All in all, I couldn't be happier with Stephane's service, and I can highly recommend him to anyone who has lost a precious item, and who may be on the verge of giving up the search. Thanks again. – Liam

I highly recommend contacting Ray.

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2020)

10/10 all around!!

My husband was so upset when the gardening mishap happened. I wasn’t sure if the lost ring would turn up, or if we’d have to replace it. After numerous attempts to recover it on our own, I ended up calling Ray to help us.

Ray was extremely responsive and after our introductory phone call, he was out searching for the ring within 48 hours. After a couple of hours searching our property, I was shocked he found the ring! He is so talented, he made it seem effortless. We are thrilled to have the ring returned to this rightful owner.

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend contacting Ray.

I cannot recommend Greg Bradford enough. He was so helpful and caring during such an upsetting situation...

testimonial for Greg Bradford (2020)

I want to start by saying I cannot recommend Greg Bradford enough. He was so helpful and caring during such an upsetting situation. First, let me explain how I lost my wedding rings.

It was a bit after 8:30 pm when I walked our dog in the front yard on Sunday night before the Labor Day holiday. I had the dog leash in my right hand, as my dog pulled me towards our street. As we left my front yard by crossing into the street, my dog pulled me through a large spider web. Embarrassingly enough, I definitely did the spider web “get off of me” dance as I felt the spider on my shoulder and its web across my face. When I did this embarrassing dance move, I flung my left hand up and down. I never even felt my rings actually come off. Only as I continued to walk the dog did the horrible feeling sink in… my rings are gone and I have no idea where they are.

After running inside to tell my husband about my huge mistake, we searched for hours in our front yard in the dark using flashlights. I have never felt so helpless and the emotions begin to get the best of your mind that both rings were gone forever. Around 11 pm, my utterly panicked brain had one moment of clarity when I googled “need help finding lost jewelry in my area”. This is when I found Greg Bradford!

He was so kind and helpful came to the beach right away...

testimonial for Craig Marten (2020)

I lost my wedding ring around 6 pm at Fort Lauderdale beach. We try to look around a lot. Next early morning at sunrise time we went again to the beach look for 1 hour then I called TheRingFinder Craig. He was so kind and helpful came to the beach right away. He found my wedding ring within 5mins. Thank you soo much Craig for coming over and helping us now we will have a very relax and fun honeymoon.

He was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend him for help finding any lost precious items...

testimonial for Shawn Sherrill (2020)

So glad that I found the ring finders! Such a life saver! I lost my wedding band on Monday evening and called Shawn. He answered and was very happy to help. He came by the very next day. It took him less than 10 minutes to find it. He was very friendly and professional. I highly recommend him for help finding any lost precious items. My wife was pleased too and our honeymoon is looking good lol. Thanks for your help!

Rob was an angel sent from Heaven...

testimonial for Rob Ellis (2020)

After losing my Platinum wedding band at the bottom of the murky James River with only a rough idea of the location, I was not confident it would ever be found.

However, little did I know at the time that Rob was an angel sent from Heaven. We got in touch through The Ring Finders and he contacted me right away. After a phone call the evening after I lost my wedding band, we agreed to meet up the next day.

Through increasingly heavier rain, rising water levels, and swift current, Rob continued his search and found it right before the skies opened up. I really appreciated how Rob listened, his professionalism, and expertise as a diver in search and recovery.

The second we met in person, I felt more and more confident that he was going to be the answer to my prayers. My wife and myself will be forever grateful for Rob and his services. If you lose your prized jewelry and think all hope is lost, look no further than Rob!

This was the most amazing service! Henry was extremely professional...

testimonial for Henry Lucero (2020)

This was the most amazing service! Henry was extremely professional and made me a hero to my mother and my daughter who was so distraught to have lost it!! Thanks so much!!

I cant thank them enough and recommend anyone giving them a call if they are in the same situation.

testimonial for Leighton Harrington (2020)

I cant thank Leighton and Rick enough for finding my wedding ring. First, sending them an email at 6am and Leighton getting back to me right away was amazing. Second, when they got to the house they were extremely professional and outlined exactly how they were going to find the ring. 3 minutes into looking they did exactly what they said they would do and found the ring. I cant thank them enough and recommend anyone giving them a call if they are in the same situation.

If you are looking for someone passionate about retrieving lost items with extreme integrity, Ray is easily the one.

testimonial for Raymond Jones (2020)

As a Marine, I was looking for someone with not only the skill set to find my wedding band but the dedication to actually get it done. I was amazed when I first called Ray about his willingness to hear my concern and immediately come over to search (literally less than 30 minutes). The odds of someone doing that are extremely rare these days. Ray being a Navy veteran made me at ease from the very first meeting. His kind nature and willingness to hear my story was like no other. I could not believe his perseverance in finding my band despite numerous long days of 90+ degrees and extremely high humidity. Ray even got in a wet suit and searched in deep water but would not give up even when my hope was dwindling. I can not explain the excitement and goosebumps I had when he called me late Friday saying “Lyle, I found it”. At first, I thought, that’s impossible given the scope of the search area but then came the photo in a text:) If you are looking for someone passionate about retrieving lost items with extreme integrity, Ray is easily the one. The deepest gratitude to you sir!

Your service was so pleasant and professional...

testimonial for Mike McInroe (2020)

I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!! Your service was so pleasant and professional. I can’t say how great it was to have you in my time of what I saw as a crisis. You seemed to make things fun and distract me from worrying. Your confidence was settling. The fact you drove over 2 hours one way for the chance to help me speaks true to your character. Mike I’ll always be thankful and will speak this story for many years to come. God bless.

Highly recommend."

testimonial for Keith Wille (2020)

"Keith is truly the best. I was skeptical but he went the distance taking a ferry to block island! He found my ring in the ocean!! I had someone else try before him and after twenty minutes he told me it was a lost cause.. Keith spent over 2 hours. On top of that, he’s a really good guy. Highly recommend."

Tracy thank you so much for finding my ring!

testimonial for Tracy Santee (2020)

I had lost my ring after throwing it in the backyard on a Monday. We had went and bought a metal detector to try and look for it & spent 2 days looking for it.

On Wednesday I still couldn’t find it and I decided to look online for ways to find a ring outside. I came across a post that said try looking up local ring finders. I googled the ring finders and the website came up.

After finding a ring finder near me I called Tracy. He said he would be able to come out and look. When he came out, he was able to find the ring in 5 minutes. Quick, responsive, inexpensive, and good at what he does. Tracy thank you so much for finding my ring!

Thank you so so so so so much Kati, it means a lot to my marriage!

testimonial for Kati Schmidt (2020)

On Aug.28, I lost my platinum diamond wedding band in the grass behind a parking lot. My fiancé and I tried our best to look for it, but we start to lose hope after 2 hours searching. So I called people on the ring finders website, after at least 7 failure calls (either too far or not available), finally Kati is willing to come though it took her 1.5 hours to drive to my location. I truly appreciate her quick action since the lost place is a public area under construction (and we just travel there not live there). Kati’s metal detector is very sensitive, it worked so quickly that only took 2min to find my lost ring. Thank you so so so so so much Kati, it means a lot to my marriage!

You were so amazing! Thank you for being kind and so generous...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2020)

You were so amazing! Thank you for being kind and so generous. And most of all, thank you so much for finding my ring!! This was one of the scariest experiences I’ve had so, I’m very thankful you came along and found my ring!! Thanks again!

Stephane was unbelievable...

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2020)

Stephane was unbelievable. Got the job done as advertised. He was the talk of the campfire that evening. I wouldn’t recommend losing your wedding ring at the beach. If you do, Stephane will find it.

Thank you so much Connell, you truly are amazing...

testimonial for H Connell Raate (2020)

Where do I start?! Sunday, August 23, 2020, I was out boating with some family and friends. When I got into the lake my ring felt a little loose. I ended up losing my wedding rings in the lake! I was devastated but tried to keep my composure with everyone else around. We immediately tried to search for it. All of the kids put goggles on and even a few adults started to search for it with no luck. I felt absolutely terrible that I had lost my wedding rings. That’s when Connell came into my life! A friend had heard about what a great job he does so I decided to give him a call. I sent him a picture of where I was on the lake and he promised me he would do his best to find it on Monday. Monday rolls around and he didn’t find it BUT he was very hopeful as there were boats anchored where I had lost my ring so he couldn’t get right there. He gave me so much hope that he wouldn’t give up! Tuesday morning I received a picture. IT WAS MY RING!!! Connell went out Tuesday morning and searched in the exact spot that he had figured out just from 2 simple pictures I had sent him, HOW AMAZING! Needless to say, he brought me to tears when he sent me a photo of my ring he found. My husband and I couldn’t believe he had actually found it especially with the high traffic area of boats and people that go to that specific spot. I can’t stop telling all of my friends how amazing he is. When I picked my ring up him and his wife were so welcoming. He even put together a video for me to jeep of him recovering it out of the sand/water in the lake! If I could give him a 0-10 star rating I would give Connell 100+. Thank you so much Connell, you truly are amazing. Thank you for not giving up and being so sweet! An absolute joy to be around and communicate with.

Thank you so much,

Rachel

Tyler and I are so fortunate and grateful to have found you, the answer to our prayers...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2020)

Thank you so much Jim! Being so remote on the island, we had little hope of finding someone with the right equipment and the right experience to help us. Tyler and I are so fortunate and grateful to have found you, the answer to our prayers. Be well and here’s to many more adventures!

I found Alan to be most professional and responsive to my needs...

testimonial for Alan Yarmesch (2020)

Unfortunately, I gave Alan an impossible task trying to find the engagement ring lost thirty years ago. The site was closely surrounded by metal fencing that thoroughly confused the equipment. Despite this, I found Alan to be most professional and responsive to my needs. Should I require similar services again, Alan will certainly be the man I call. Thanks so much for trying, Alan!

Matt’s skill was quite impressive.

testimonial for Matt St Germain (2020)

Thanks again! I thought there was no chance of finding the ring considering how rough the surf was but Matt made quick work of a tough problem.

He was on-site by the next low tide, and already searching before I could come out to meet him. I am very lucky to have my ring back, but Matt’s skill was quite impressive.

They’re good honest people

testimonial for Don Wilson (2020)

I recently lost my Aggie ring while working in my yard one afternoon. Once I realized I had lost it I spent hours trying to find it with no luck, I even rented a metal detector myself but no ring.

I found Don & Ellen online and sent an email that night. Don called me first thing the following morning and was at my house by noon that day! After an hour of searching, I was getting a bit discouraged but Don was persistent and determined to find it.

After a bit more searching and questioning me about every step I had made that day we narrowed it down to one side of the yard and ended up finding it along a fence across the yard from where I was working. Apparently flew off my hand while I was washing some mud off. We never would have found it if Don hadn’t questioned my every move that day!

I was blown away by how much they both cared and I could tell they were just as excited as me to find my ring. They’re good honest people that just want to help those of us that can’t keep track of their valuables!

T

hank you again, Don & Ellen!!

Jackie & I will always be grateful...

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2020)

Jeff will be a family legend forever. I did not expect him to drive the lengths that he did, and certainly not at the TIME that he did, to recover my ring during low tide at the beach. The dedication Jeff has for this service is unparalleled and motivated by the love he has received from his Lord. The video says the rest. Jackie & I will always be grateful.

John was amazing! I cannot recommend him enough!

testimonial for John Favano (2020)

John was amazing! I cannot recommend him enough! We didn’t see that the ring was gone until we were just about to leave. We searched for an hour and a half with no luck. I thought it was gone for good. John came quickly and found it within minutes!! I don’t know what I would have done without him! Can’t thank him enough!!

God bless the Ringfinders!!

testimonial for Christina McCree (2020)

The Ringfinders rock!

Christina and Lindell never gave up on finding my ring. After 20 years I had basically given up hope of seeing my UA class ring again. It was so frustrating to know my ring was in that pond but lost forever.

To Christina and Lindell this a true calling, reuniting people with their keepsakes.

God bless the Ringfinders!!

Mark you are a life saver, thank you so much!

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2020)

I thought my ring was gone forever. I seriously could not believe he found my ring. Mark you are a life saver, thank you so much! My husband and I will forever be grateful!

I highly recommend Penny at theringfinders.com.

testimonial for Penny Shutts (2020)

I was on a family vacation up in Redfield NY on the Salmon Reservoir. We were out enjoying the floating dock, jumping in and swimming around. When I realized my wedding ring was missing. It was an instant bummer to a great vacation.

The next morning my wife told me she had found a service called theringfinders.com. Penny Schutts was located in Watertown and she was scuba certified! So my wife called and Penny said she could be down in the afternoon.

When Penny arrived, her husband and her asked a few questions on how far out we had been swimming and what did the ring look like. Then they suited up and started working a grid in and around the floating dock. Her husband was making a pass just off the shoreline where it takes a step down, and he found it!

It was partially covered by a rock and he had seen just a portion of the band.

I can’t put into words how awesome it was when they found the ring. It was something 12 hours earlier I thought was gone forever. I highly recommend Penny at theringfinders.com.

Thank you Penny!!

Rick,

We CANNOT thank you enough for returning my ring. I still can’t stop telling friends and family about our experience with you and you’re wonderful wife. Everyone was so touched to hear that there people like Rick Browne and the Ring Finders Society. You are the absolute best.

Sincerely,

Chris

I’d highly recommend Jeff...

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2020)

Working with Jeff was a pleasure. He’s easy to be around, genuinely interested in helping people, and a master of his craft. His process started with a series of questions about how/where it was lost - assumptions were challenged, and facts were identified.

He then developed a plan for the search and clearly communicated this with me. When he showed up I already knew what he was going to do, the gear he was going to use, and the reasoning behind it all. Using a variety of equipment,

Jeff methodically searched a 50’ radius from the assumed location of the ring in 36’ of water, with a bottom time of over 3.5 hours, and only stopping when all three of his air tanks were empty.

While we didn’t find the ring, knowing we did everything we could to recover it was of huge value to me. I’d highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking to find a ring in the future.

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

“Chris is a legend. I called pretty late at night, and was expecting to meet up early morning. When Chris learned I had lost a gold chain, he knew we had to act fast to find it, and met me within the hour. He’s got the right gear and the right attitude. You can tell he loves finding things once thought lost, but even more, loves helping people. He was determined to find my chain, and with that determination and our teamwork, we left the beach with our mission accomplished. I hope I don’t lose anything else, but I’m happy to know I have a reliable contact in case that happens. Chris is the go-to! I’m telling everyone I know! THANK YOU so much! Lost something? Call TheRingFinders.”

Extremely thankful for you...

the world is a better place because of Chris and his network of ring finder agents...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

Nobody wants to lose a ring, especially their wedding ring. That's what happened to me the other day when my wife and I sat on the beach and the ring came loose from my finger as I was throwing a piece of rock late, while we sat at the beach to enjoy some time to ourselves. I tried searching with my bare hands and a headlamp for 4 hours in the dark, until I decided to try googling how to find a ring in the sand.

Lo and behold, I came across Chris' website and after browsing the website for a few minutes, I decided to give him a call (at 4:15am) as the website notes losing a ring in a public area is high risk and I should call ASAP. Chris showed up as fast as he could and he began using his metal detector to scan for signals. After about an hour and a half of north-sound, east-west and expanding the grid scanning, Chris found my wedding ring! I was so happy to be able to find it.

I'm so grateful that Chris created this "ring finder" network and for him to answer my call and show up within such a short amount of time is just incredible. The fact that he doesn't have a fixed fee and is on a reward basis is what makes him a genuine good-hearted person. I can say for sure that the world is a better place because of Chris and his network of ring finder agents. Thank you Chris!

Thank you so much!!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2020)

I can't thank you enough!! After the first two sweeps, I honestly thought I’d never see the ring my parents gave me for my sweet 16th again. I won't be going into the ocean with this ring ever again..but if I do, you will definitely be the first person I call! Thank you so much!!

I would highly recommend anyone who has lost jewellery, keys, etc. to contact Ted ASAP!!

testimonial for Ted Gaudet (2020)

What an amazing ending to such a horrible event. We can’t thank you enough Ted for everything you did for us. I would highly recommend anyone who has lost jewellery, keys, etc. to contact Ted ASAP!! He was very friendly and helpful on the phone he even wanted to come out right away it really felt like Ted cared about finding the ring as much as we did. We decided to hire Ted as he seemed very confident there was a high probability he could find the ring. After talking a bit we decided it would be better to come out in the morning as the sun was just going down. Unfortunately we had to return to the city the next day so Ted met with our mom in the morning who showed him the rough location of the lost ring. Ted went to work right away and within an hour he had found it!!! He called us to give us the good news and we really couldn’t believe it. Ted has managed to do the unthinkable!! After talking to him all we kept thinking was how happy we were that we called him and gave him a chance because without Ted our wedding ring would still be buried under the sand and water in Georgian bay. Thank you again Ted we will never forget what you have done for us!!!

The greatest joy when it was found...

testimonial for Keith Wille (2020)

“An 8-year-old placed an earring on my surfboard without telling me and I moved my surfboard. Fortunately, Keith was in the area and volunteered his services to help the child that lost the earring. The greatest joy when it was found was by me since I am the one that dragged my daughter’s friend to the beach and I felt responsible for the lost earring. We had given up when Keith came by and tracked it down in about 5 minutes. A happy ending to a stressful surf session” – Jeff

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2020)

Dave, I can’t thank you enough for your help with finding my wedding ring! You were so quick to help, not only with finding the ring but also with trying to obtain a permit to metal detect at a State Park. I am still in complete shock that you were able to find my ring even though four days had gone by-I thought for sure it was long gone! I truly appreciate your professionalism and your expertise and will be forever grateful to you for helping to recover my cherished ring that has so much family history in it! Again, truly appreciate you! Take care and God Bless you!

I rate my experience as a 10/10...

testimonial for Clare Winslow III (2020)

Clare,

Thank you so much for helping me find this ring. I rate my experience as a 10/10. Clare was timely, polite, and efficient. I would highly recommend Clare for anyone in the greater Traverse area.

He found it!! I’m so very thankful and appreciate y’all so much

testimonial for Don Wilson (2020)

THANK YALL SO MUCH!!!

I lost my great grandmothers wedding ring in the lake one evening and was devastated. After hours of scouring the internet for anything I could do to try and get it back. I came across the ring finders page and found don and Ellen’s page, decided to email them to see if it was even an option for me. Don got right back to me the next morning, and was able to squeeze me into their day. By the grace of god before having to leave for another appointment and having come back to try another time. He found it!! I’m so very thankful and appreciate y’all so much for fitting me in and helping me get back something so very special to me.

You are a miracle worker!

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2020)

Dave, you are the BEST!! We are so thankful for you and that you and Jeannie could come out on such short notice. You were an answer to my prayers. You are a miracle worker! If I ever meet anyone who lost something in the ocean, we’ll know who to call for sure. Thanks so much again ????????

If anyone needs anything found give Dave a call, he’s a class act.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2020)

Losing my class ring definitely put a damper on my vacation. I was throwing a football around on the beach when the ring flew off and landed in the surf. We couldn’t find it after that and eventually gave up looking because it was getting dark. The next day we decided to contact Dave and he was out by that afternoon. He had me show him the general area I lost it in and started looking. An hour went by and things weren’t looking great. The beach I lost it in was crowded and there were other people with detectors out and about looking for a score. Another hour, nothing. I think Dave could tell I was getting discouraged and he let me know that he wasn’t going anywhere. We redefined a search area and Dave got right back to it. About 30 minutes had passed when he came up and surprised me with my ring – I couldn’t believe it! Definitely would have hugged the guy if it wasn’t for social distancing. If anyone needs anything found give Dave a call, he’s a class act. Thanks and Gig ‘Em!

From the moment I called, I felt like everything was going to be okay!!

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2020)

I was incredibly happy when Dave bent over and pulled my necklace from the sand! I really couldn’t believe it! He made me feel like there was hope, even though it’s a needle in a haystack! He gave me clear instructions, which I followed to help ensure the safety of my necklace and increase the chances of finding it! Everything worked! From the moment I called, I felt like everything was going to be okay!! Thank you so much Dave!

I will recommend you to anyone because you are good man...

testimonial for Darrin Gray (2020)

You did an awesome job Darrin , I had no hope of finding my baby Gold chain , when it’s drop in the Lake but u brought smile to us again. Thanks so much.

I will recommend you to anyone because you are good man and very transparent.

We will forever be grateful to Stephane...

testimonial for Stephane Coutu (2020)

We will forever be grateful to Stephane. We contacted him and he responded minutes later, ready to help. Despite the rainy weather conditions, he was willing to head out and search right away. He was very professional and communicated with us throughout the whole process. You can tell he is very passionate and dedicated about what he does. Thank you so much Stephane!

Thanks to Stephane, Ottawa Metal Detecting, and TheRingfinders for helping us recover this meaningful family heirloom ...

testimonial for Stephane Philippe (2020)

****Happy Ending***

A big thank you to Stephane for helping us find this ring which was not only a family heirloom but also a meaningful event in a global pandemic.

My partner Rob (the cute ginger in the photo) was heartbroken since the weekend when he felt this ring slip off in the water at Aylmer beach. He was soooo happy that the ring was FOUND!!!

This ring was not just a family ring but his ring also had a personal engraving of a motto that he holds dear to his heart: “to save lives every day” (in Latin). He is a trained paramedic, ex-military medic (7 years) and now embarking on a new job working with the Red Cross, on the front lines of this pandemic; in long term care centers where the military had gone in to manage the pandemic and where the Red Cross is now taking over the work.

He is and will be saving lives every day!!! I’m so glad that recovering the ring is a reaffirming of this important promise and a meaningful moment for this front line health care worker (who saves MY life every day!!).

Thanks to Stephane, Ottawa Metal Detecting, and TheRingfinders for helping us recover this meaningful family heirloom and personal item.

We were especially happy that rewarding Stephane meant supporting his family and he likes to donate some of his reward to Trait-d’union, a local Outaouais organization that supports autism. Basically a win-win!!!

Thanks Stephane for being our hero on this one ????

Prayers answered!

testimonial for Paul Humphreys (2020)

Thanks sooo much for helping my daughter find the ring. She was so sad and when we heard it was found we were so happy. My wife Cheryl had been praying for Gods hand in this search. Prayers answered! Also heard you are writing a book and would be happy to assist in any design needs.

Thanks again Tim!

testimonial for Tim Blank (2020)

Tim was very professional and patient. He took the time to analyze the location where the ring could possibly be. Ultimately he found the ring after just a short time. Overall it made a frustrating situation turn in to a positive memory, Thanks again Tim!

Keith is a life saver!

testimonial for Keith Wille (2020)

Keith is a life saver! I lost my wedding ring on day one of our vacation. Keith responses quickly when I reached out. He was confident and reassuring. After 30 minutes Keith was able to retrieve my ring. Vacation saved! Anyone who needs help with finding their missing valuables should reach out to Keith. He is a wonderful person and true magician.

We highly recommend him to anyone who loses something valuable. Thank you Stanley!

testimonial for Stan Ross (2020)

My fiance had just finished his proposal to me and we were beginning to take pictures with my new ring. We were attempting to take a picture with the ring in the sand and as our photographer was focusing-in on the ring, a wave came and swept the ring away. Our photographer frantically began to dig around the area to look for the ring, and my fiance immediately jumped into the water. I followed him and we were both waist deep in the water, grabbing at anything that felt like it could be my ring but would only turn out to be shells and debri every time. 30 minutes passed and we still couldn't find the ring, my worst nightmare was becoming a reality and as the sun began to set, I started to believe that my ring was gone forever.

I called my brother and asked him what we should do and he googled The Ring Finders and Stanley was the closest to our location. My brother contacted him and before he could hang up the phone, Stanley was already on his way to us. Stanley arrived quickly with all of his equipment and began searching the area. We watched as Stanley scanned over the area where we lost the ring. Within a minute he scooped up the sand, and nodded his head with a smile. My fiance jumped up and shouted "No way!" Stanley found our ring! We were overjoyed and both embraced Stanley.

Stanley truly has a talent for locating valuables and allowed us to have our happy ending. He was very kind, professional and helpful. We will always remember how he helped us during one of the most stressful situations in our life. We highly recommend him to anyone who loses something valuable. Thank you Stanley!

I never knew the network existed, but am now a believer in TheRingFinders!!

testimonial for Clare Winslow III (2020)

Thank you again for finding my wedding ring. I truly thought it was lost for good when it fell into Lake Michigan at 5ft in very rough conditions. The fact that you were able to travel to Ludington, from Traverse City, within 24 hours and find my ring was absolutely amazing. You knew the right questions to ask in order to locate the ring and were very professional. I never knew the network existed, but am now a believer in TheRingFinders!! Thank you so much!

Matthew is truly a angel from God inspired to help bring smiles back to strangers faces.

testimonial for Matthew Fry (2020)

I can’t say Thank You for your efforts and time to Matthew Fry enough. I am truly blessed to have found out about the ring finders through a friend from home. I texted my best friend 2 days after I lost them. I was devastated and didn’t want to admit to myself I lost the rings. She immediately texted me back about an article she saw from the today show about ring finders. I googled the link and found Matthew searches the Mrytle Beach area. I immediately called him. He couldn’t have been more encouraging and helpful. He gave me hope in what I though was a hopeless situation. He poured his heart and soul into looking for my grandmother’s rings. A’s you’ve read I have the wedding band and he is still inspired to look for the engagement ring. Matthew is truly a angel from God inspired to help bring smiles back to strangers faces.

you are a humble and honest man...

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2020)

Oh Mark what can I say!!!

Firstly…when I search the ring finders and I clicked on your profile …you just gave me hope ..was something about you that is very difficult to explain..but you gave me HOPE !!

I was devastated not because of the money value ..it was the sentimental value that made me crazy...

And yes, what makes you AMAZING is that I call you late the day after which it was a Saturday with hundreds of people at the beach...

All I can tell you again is that you are a humble and honest man who when that night and gave me hope !!

You are way much worth ….of the reward I gave you

Thank you so so much ????

Jim was highly recommended...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2020)

I never thought I’d be the guy who lost his wedding ring in the ocean, until Saturday when I became that guy. I knew I wasn’t going to find it searching myself but still the family and I looked for quite a while. Sunday morning I joined South Carolina metal detectors on Facebook and that’s where Jim was highly recommended. He met me on the beach within a 1/2 hour and found the ring within 2 minutes. I still can’t believe it! I can’t explain how happy I am to have it back. Thank you so much

“The pendant was given to me by my father...

testimonial for Keith Wille (2020)

“The pendant was given to me by my father with my favorite thing in the world on it, a car, and the patriarch saint of travel, Saint Christopher. This is also where I got my middle name. I’ve had the pendant on me until the day I lost it. You found it within an hour and it was easily the best decision I’ve made. Now I can keep the family tradition alive and hand it down to the next generation… Well, I’ll hand it down as soon as they learn not to wear it at the beach. - Joe”

Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2020)

Jim, we cannot thank you enough!! We really thought that we would never see the ring again. ???? Even though the ring was insured, a replacement would not have the same sentimental value. I could tell that my husband was so devastated that he lost his ring in the ocean. Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!! The first thing that we are going to do when we get home is to get my husband’s ring re-sized!:) HA! GREAT WORK!!! Sincerely, Shannon & Jason

thank you X 1,000,000. We appreciate you...

testimonial for Stan Ross (2020)

Hi Stan, you have no idea how happy my wife got yesterday she said to thank you a million times so here we go ..... thank you thank you thank you X 1,000,000. We appreciate you and know that God has blessed you tremendously with many good people in your life. You can add us to that list of people my friend.

Let’s appreciate that there are GREAT people among us and Dennis Burlingame is one of those GREAT people!!!

testimonial for Dennis Burlingame (2020)

Words cannot express the sense of emptiness that came over me when I felt my class ring slide off my finger when I was riding that wave. As the ring slipped away, I made several hasty attempts to reach for it, but I knew that the ocean won. That look of loss on my face was enough to upset my wife and my daughter, as they were with me. We spent several minutes feeling for my ring in the sand, but I knew it was gone.

I had that ring for over 27 years, and I rarely took it off. It’s worn in only a way that time can wear down a ring. Besides my wedding ring, it was the only piece of jewelry that I wore, and I’ve had it a few years longer!!! I called my insurance company and started the replacement process, but nothing could replace the sentiment of that ring.

A few days passed and an unknown phone number showed up on my cell phone. Normally I would allow the call to go to my voicemail, but something told me to answer the call. The gentlemen on the other end asked me if I was José Mercado, when I asked him who was calling, he told me that he found something of mine that was very special. “No way,” I thought. “My ring?” “Yes, your ring. I was out with a friend on Monday night metal detecting, and we found your ring,” he said. I couldn’t believe it! At first thought someone was playing a joke on me, but I really hadn’t told anyone that I lost my ring!

Dennis went on telling me that when he noticed it was a Naval Academy ring, he had to find the owner. He found a part of my worn-out name inscribed inside the ring and then he called Jostens. He described the ring to them and as luck would have it, they narrowed the “José” down to me! Dennis found me on Facebook and he even found my work web site and left me a message there, but he didn’t give up until he got my number and finally connected with me.

It’s easy to get sucked into the sadness and fear and hate that seems to take over the news feeds today. For a moment, please share in my happy moment! Dennis reunited me with a very special possession of mine. I am so very thankful for him not only finding my ring, but for finding me (which I think was harder)!!! My family and friends appreciate his kindness as several of them have commented on my Facebook page. Let’s appreciate that there are GREAT people among us and Dennis Burlingame is one of those GREAT people!!!

Thank you, Dennis! You are a special human being and I’m privileged to know you!!!

You are truly a great human being and I’m super glad I called you...

testimonial for Rob Ellis (2020)

You have no idea how HAPPY you made me and my family that day. To be honest, I really thought I was wasting my time- but seeing you work and try so hard gave me a lot of hope(even if you had not found it- it would have been worth the try ????). You are truly a great human being and I’m super glad I called you(I feel silly for doubting you when I first called you).

I am so grateful for TheRingFinders and that I was able to locate a professional so fast...

testimonial for Shawn Sherrill (2020)

I contacted Shawn Sherrill on a Sunday night late, he was eager to start right away! We spent hours in the dark water searching through mud, mostly me watching from the boat as he pulled hundreds of pull tabs and things to eliminate signals from the area. He was determined that he would find it and assured me he would not give up. I even went and bought a $600 metal detector and realized quickly how much skill this requires and how many tones you have to learn to know which to dig. It requires skill and I knew it was best I sit back and let him look. I could hardly sleep, I got a text about 7:22 am with a photo of my wedding band! I was the happy dude alive!! I am so grateful for TheRingFinders and that I was able to locate a professional so fast that was eager to help! For them it is about the hunt!

You're truly are our guardian angel and will never know how much you saved us yesterday.

testimonial for Kent Blethen (2020)

I called this man in absolute distress and tears after losing my 6000$ princess cut engagement ring of my dreams, at Gooseberry Island in Westport. AND MY WEDDING WAS ON SATURDAY, 3 DAYS AWAY. I had spent the previous night digging in the sand, and then the following morning doing the same until it was late enough in the day to purchase a metal detector from Dick’s, but after about 6 more hours of nonstop searching, aided by this new instrument ( even with knowing the exact spot I lost it) I still had no results. At this point, I was lost as for what to do, except maybe invest in a metal detector costing half the ring! Then I did some research and found this website, and immediately contacted Kent. He was on his way and was here from Plymouth within an HOUR. And then found my ring within 15 MINUTES! He was so nice and professional and extremely helpful. When we went to hand him our money, he tried to hand all but 20$ back! Absolutely not, Kent deserved every penny and I wish I was in the financial situation to reward him even more! Not only did he save my day and my WEDDING, he was such an awesome happy go lucky person and has a great heart. Me and my fiancé enjoyed his company and his conversation very much! He was such a sweet guy, and I’m still shocked that this service or these types of people exist! Thank you so much for everything Kent! You're truly are our guardian angel and will never know how much you saved us yesterday.

You were God sent!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2020)

“Jim had a very positive attitude from the start and was confident that he would find it. Jim’s determination and strong will made it possible. Thank you for all you do Jim. We highly appreciate this and will remember this story forever! You were God sent!

Sean truly was our hero...

testimonial for Sean Kelly (2020)

I had told Sean in my initial e-mail reaching out to him that I didn’t know this league of superheroes existed, meaning The Ring Finders. He joked that not all heroes wear capes, and that some wear oxygen tanks and use metal detectors. Only it was not a joke at all, because Sean truly was our hero.

After losing my husband’s wedding band in the lake in front of my parent’s house on Father’s Day, I was sure we’d be able to find it in the 6ft of water there. Snorkel masks, rakes, and a cheap underwater metal detector and flashlight did not stand a chance in the deep muck, murky water, and long grass. Not to mention I was 36-37 weeks pregnant and my efforts were limited by my buoyancy!

My husband tried, our friends and family tried, and even the neighbors took a shot at finding the ring. One of the neighbors told us about The Ring Finders. I was skeptical because it had been three weeks since we lost the ring, but I was desperate for some skilled help, and some closure if nothing else.

With only one diver in the entire state of Maine, I was worried that the distance would deter him. As soon as we met, I realized quickly that there isn’t much that deters Sean’s passion for reuniting people with their rings.

Sean was positive, kind, funny, and professional with every interaction. He kept us in the loop of his thought process and what his next strategy was whenever he came up for a quick break to relocate or to change his oxygen tank.

This man went through almost 4 tanks of oxygen and about 8 hours underwater over the course of two days. When his usual spot for refilling oxygen tanks was unexpectedly closed, he even drove out of his way to Brunswick for before returning on the second day.

His determination was unwavering and his optimism and creativity kept us hopeful. Late afternoon/early evening on Day 2, Sunday 7/19/20, Sean surfaced with an old pull tab AND OUR LOST RING that had been buried in the muck next to it.

We all cheered and jumped for joy! My husband has his ring back (yes it’s being resized smaller as we speak) and we have a new epic story of heroic perseverance to tell our son (due any day now) someday, all thanks to Sean!

We can’t thank him enough for his time away from family, many hours at the cloudy/grassy bottom of the lake, and for finding our ring!

My husband Scott and I are so grateful to have been referred to The Ring Finders...

testimonial for John Favano (2020)

My husband Scott and I are so grateful to have been referred to The Ring Finders while on vacation in Ocean City. He found my husbands ring within minutes of looking. He had gotten out of the ocean and went to apply lotion and it slipped right off. We just got married during the COVID 19 and finally got to get away and the excitement continued. Thank you for your service, communication, and reliability.

I cannot recommend him enough! He is amazing!

testimonial for Keith Wille (2020)

"I highly recommend Keith and his services. He is professional, easy to communicate with, empathetic, and takes a genuine caring – most importantly – he found my wedding ring within 30 minutes of combing the beach. I cannot recommend him enough! He is amazing!" - Kate Moore

Highly recommend his services!

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2020)

After three attempts by me and my family and seeking the assistance of another expert treasure hunter, I was confident my earring was lost forever. Just when I was ready to order a replacement, an email arrived from Jonathan. My email, sent weeks earlier, went to his junk mail and thankfully he checks his junk mail! He agreed to try one more time. The search area was difficult, and it had been almost a month since I lost the earring. My confidence was low, but his skills were exceptional. Within 40 minutes, he found the back to my earring and the earring! I was amazed and thanked him with tears in my eyes. He truly has a gift for treasure hunting! Highly recommend his services!

Thank you Mike! I wholeheartedly recommend your services."

testimonial for Mike McInroe (2020)

"It is so nice to be able to text you from my miraculously working phone! Here is my review of your services. Mike is a Methodical Miracle Worker! I dropped my phone in a lake in a paddleboarding mishap. While I knew the approximate area where my phone was, the aquatic vegetation and algae were extremely thick, rendering visibility very difficult. After five days of searching to no avail, I knew that we needed to call in a professional--and that is exactly what Mike is! Upon his arrival, I was immediately impressed with his careful, intentional approach; he uses high-quality, specialized equipment and takes care to search the area deliberately. Despite this being an objectively difficult task--my phone was a "needle in a haystack," buried in a fairly large area with very thick vegetation and varying depths of water--Mike kept a positive, professional attitude in every moment. And the moment he pulled my lost phone from among the lake weeds was one of pure joy. Thank you Mike! I wholeheartedly recommend your services."

do not give up and instead reach out to Chris and The Ring Finders. They will find it for you...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

After four long days of turning my house upside down, frequent trips back to the park where I knew I last had it on – not to mention taking apart my bathroom sink - I had just about given up hope I would ever see my wedding ring again. Having raked the grass at the park for an hour with my dad two days prior, I figured it was unlikely it would turn up. That said, I had come across Chris and The Ring Finders multiple times online while looking for options, and reluctantly reached out despite the little faith I had left. I’ll look back on this decision with joy for many years to come.

The minute I met Chris, I could immediately tell he was only doing this to make other people happy. He was a clear professional, mindful of COVID protocols, and cleaned up every small piece of garbage he found during the search. When he found the ring after only 10 minutes, he surprised me with it in the best way. I’ll go back to watch that video all the time.

If you’ve lost something and think you’ve been prudent with your searching but to no avail, please do not give up and instead reach out to Chris and The Ring Finders. They will find it for you. Chris – you are a true legend!

Cheers erupted, people stared, and I cried when my ring and I were reunited...

testimonial for Rene Mills (2020)

Over the weekend, at my son’s lacrosse game in a land far, far from home, I took off my wedding rings to put on sunscreen, tucked them into my shorts pocket, and promptly forgot about them. Don’t judge. You get distracted, and life happens. I put up a tent, hauled belongings from the car, got settled in for the day, and then remembered my rings. Lo and behold, my engagement ring escaped the confines of my not at all secure pocket. An all-hands on deck search party ensued with every team parent scouring the area we were in, and one calling the sheriff’s department to see if they had a metal detector. They didn’t but recommended calling Rene at TheRingFinders.com. Rene and her family so kindly detoured from a family outing to help in the hunt. With a detector and pointer in hand, Rene gridded out the area, delved under tent stakes, beneath (heavy and stinky) player gear bags, combed through plush grass, dug up bottle caps, pull tabs, a few vape pens, two nickels, and, after a 90-minute search, my ring, which had been stepped on, buried in the dirt, and completely hidden from view. Cheers erupted, people stared, and I cried when my ring and I were reunited. It is now impossible for me to look at my ring and not be thankful for Rene – her professionalism, skills, patience (oh, her patience!), and sense of humor are now a part of my story.

I cannot tell you how many people love hearing about you and the day’s events - and, especially, the happy ending! It’s incredible!

If you have lost a special ring, I urge you to call The Ring Finders...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

If you have lost a special ring, I urge you to call The Ring Finders to look for it. Chris was so kind and came the same day determined to find my lost wedding ring. I loved hearing stories about some of the other people he has helped. He truly loves what he does and to help people find their most cherished items. I simply can't thank him enough!

Thanks Again!

Call him as soon as possible...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

I lost my ring on the beach and I lost my hope to get those Back. However, I found Chris and he found it even after it was 2 days later.

I regret that I didn’t call him right away...You can find him on Google if you put ring finder in Vancouver. Call him as soon as possible even late!

He said to call him 24/7!

Your kindness and your efforts will forever be remembered...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

Thank you from the depths of my heart for rescuing my ring from the ocean floor.

Regardless of whether it was divine guidance or my Piscean intuition that led me to you, I am eternally grateful for our introduction.

Your kindness and your efforts will forever be remembered and reflected in the iridescence of the small treasure I wear on my hand.

Sincerely yours,

there’s no way we would’ve found this ring without you.

thank you, my angel. I will always remember you!

testimonial for H Connell Raate (2020)

MY ANGEL!!!!

What was a beautiful day at Fairhaven beach turned into a stressful, sad couple hours for me. We left the beach and came to Pleasant Beach to stay the night and that was when I realized I didn’t have my reed song and engagement ring on my finger. I started to think about where I put them and that’s when I sunk back in the chair I was sitting on and realized that during the last hour we were at the beach I was sitting in my chair right where the water started and took them off to put sunscreen on. I set them on my lap and just got up to put the sunscreen back without putting them back on first.

The feelings of sadness and guilt set in. I then told everyone I was with what I had just realized. We all got on the boat and rushed back to the beach with our beach toys to dig and dig and dig. We spent a good hour searching. My husband went and talked to the lifeguard and that is when we were given H Connell’s information. We called him right away and he said he would come to the beach within an hour and let us know if he finds anything.

I was not optimistic at all and by this time I had broken down in tears a few times. I just kept telling myself that maybe there is a chance. Well…..the phone rang an hour later and the news I was hoping for was real! H Connell was my hero!!! Meeting him and him handing me my rings was the most exciting experience. Thank you, my angel. I will always remember you!

Unbelievable! He was amazing!! Definitely worth calling if you lose any jewelry at the beach...

testimonial for John Favano (2020)

My daughter lost her ring at 8 pm last night while in ankle-deep water after a storm. I thought for sure it was gone. The following day a friend sent me his link that she saw on Facebook. I wasn’t going to call because I thought there was just no way but I did. He came out right away and my daughter showed him approximately where she thought she lost it. Less than an hour later he found the ring which wasn’t so close to where she showed him. I still am in disbelief. Unbelievable! He was amazing!! Definitely worth calling if you lose any jewelry at the beach, even in the water!! Thank you so much!"

Edward Duffey, thank you so much for finding my ring! What a wonderful service you provide...

testimonial for Edward Duffey (2020)

Edward Duffey, thank you so much for finding my ring! What a wonderful service you provide. I spent all day combing through the sand with my fingers to no avail… I probably turned over the area in front of my chair a dozen times. I would have never found it just a few feet away. Within an hour of calling Edward, he called me back, drove to meet us, and found the ring in just a few minutes. I’m so glad this week can be remembered as our first vacation with our 6-month-old son and not the year I lost my wedding ring!

I can’t recommend him enough, he’s a lifesaver!!!

testimonial for Dennis Burlingame (2020)

Dennis is incredible. I was so heartbroken and ready to give up before I called him. He was so nice to come out to me on the 4th of July and left to get to me immediately. He found my ring in only a minute when I had been looking the entire day! I can’t recommend him enough, he’s a lifesaver!!!

I simply could not believe it was found! You brought smiles to all of our faces...

testimonial for Richard Browne (2020)

Rick, while we always plan adventures while on vacation, this wasn’t on the list, but it has certainly given us something we will never forget! The response time from when I submitted my e-mail on Monday night to the 1st phone call was amazing, and I lucked out that you were close by and available. My hopes were somewhat high as I had a very good idea where the ring was lost, but I was thinking that I should have reached out on Sunday instead of Monday. After an extremely thorough search, it had appeared that you had exhausted all options and had done all that you could do when you very casually displayed the contents of the sifting scoop, and I simply could not believe it was found! You brought smiles to all of our faces, especially mine, and this being the 6th time my ring has been lost and found (second time in the Cape), it’s time to either have it re-sized and/or leave it home when we head to the beach!

Many thanks, once again, for locating the missing ring!

Have a great summer!

~ Joe

He’s such a nice guy, good at what he does and really wants to help people...

testimonial for Justin Choate (2020)

Justin! Sorry for the delay in sharing this but wanted to thank you again for what you did for us. To be perfectly honest with anyone reading this, my calling Justin to come help was really a last ditched attempt to do everything possible to find it but we didn’t hold out much hope. The area to search was fairly large and it had been several weeks. I wanted some closure one way or another but when Justin hoisted his hand in the air I knew he’d found it! Can’t express the feeling we had after the emotional rollercoaster we’d been on. This is my wife’s engagement ring that I proposed with 18 years ago so it held massive sentimental value. For anyone out there in a similar situation please contact Justin and tell him what’s going on. He’s such a nice guy, good at what he does and really wants to help people find their missing valuables. Cheers

I am so grateful for your help.

Jeff, All I ever wanted was just to find my phone, even in the condition you found it in. Now I can have closure and not be stuck. I can move on now. I am so grateful for your help.

Anyone needing help finding lost items, Mike is a true professional and kind soul! May God bless you Mike...

testimonial for Mike McInroe (2020)

"On Monday, June 29th, my daughter and fiancee visited for a beach day with family. My daughter just recently three months ago became engaged.

While swimming this past Monday, my daughter, unfortunately, lost her wedding ring in the ocean. We have been so saddened by this. Been very hard on my daughter and extremely hard for me to see my daughter so sad, disappointed, and feeling like she was irresponsible.

I reached out to Ring Finders and located Mike McInroe in my area. Mike and I communicated and he offered to come over today at low tide to help find my daughters ring. Mike showed up on time and ready to help explore. We were able to pinpoint the area that they were sunbathing and Mike started his search.

Miracles do happen! By the grace of god and Mike and I connecting, this miracle did happen. After about 30 minutes of Mike searching, he located the ring in about a foot deep in the exposed beach at low tide. Could not believe my eyes!

Thank you so much, Mike! You offering to help and offering your time certainly has brought the tears back out but tears of joy! My daughter and fiancee are forever grateful and will undoubtedly have a great story to tell the rest of their lives.

Anyone needing help finding lost items, Mike is a true professional and kind soul! May God bless you Mike and your family!

Sincerely and best,

Geoff"

I'm forever grateful and cannot say enough how amazed I was by Chris.

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

Sometimes the weirdest things happen, I've been having a pretty hard time, just lost my job and I'm seeing my country in a really hard shape with all this covid-19 thing and a poor government.

When I lost my ring at the park I was so shaky and sad and just thinking about the year and just questioning everything, yes, just because of a ring.

When my friend had the brilliant idea of search the internet for a metal detector for us to rent and found The Ring Finders, what can I say, Chris is just an amazing person, extremely generous and really love what he does, you can tell.

He put his detective hat on and started asking me a bunch of questions to try and find my ring, before that he was really patient on the phone and gave me a lot of tips so I could try and find the ring by myself.

He didn't gave up, even when I lost hope he kept searching. I was opening my car door when he called and asked me if I could just finish the video he started when he got to the park, and when I was ready to talk he showed me the ring. It was such an amazing feeling, it might be so stupid for some people but finding the ring it's my connection home and especially with my dad.

I'm forever grateful and cannot say enough how amazed I was by Chris.

Thank you Chris, you are the best !

You are true miracle workers!

testimonial for Richard Browne (2020)

I highly recommend reaching out to these men if you ever lose anything precious! I cannot thank you and Luke enough! As soon as I was given the information about your site, I knew we had a chance. As soon as I saw that you had found the same ring once before, I knew it would be found.

You were both extremely professional, quick in responding, helpful and kind to us through the whole experience. You both will hold a special place in our hearts and marriage. Thank you for finding not only his ring, but the piece of his grandmother’s ring it was made with. You are true miracle workers!

I'd highly, highly recommend getting in touch with him to help find lost items!

testimonial for Steven Ray (2020)

It would be hard to find a more responsive and kind metal detectorist than Steve. I contacted him after losing my husband's wedding ring and, within a day, he was on the job. Not only did he find the ring, but he drove a long way to return it to us! An added special was a lesson in metal detecting that he gave to me and my family on one of our return trips to the beach. In short, I'd highly, highly recommend getting in touch with him to help find lost items!

Thank you very much Evan! Your kindness is inspirational. God bless you!

testimonial for Evan Cappon (2020)

After searching for my ring late into the evening without success, I discovered Evan‘s services. I had originally called to leave a message but, despite the hour, Evan answered. I was amazed by his genuine care and concern, professionalism and complete willingness to help. He agreed to meet the next evening to help me search. Meeting in person, Evan was just as kind, sincere and helpful! He was thorough in his approach to finding my lost ring. Interestingly, while observing Evan, I noticed a glint of light on the road near where my car had been parked the previous night and it turned out to be my ring. Had Evan not agreed to help me search once again, and been so methodical, I would not have noticed it! Thank you very much Evan! Your kindness is inspirational. God bless you!

Thank you, Steve, you are truly an ANGEL!

Steve is truly an ANGEL!

My husband lost his wedding ring at Redondo Beach, CA. This happened when he was IN THE WATER! We were very very sad......we thought that it was swept away by the waves and that it was lost forever. But we still did not want to give up and that's when we came across Steve's information. We called him the next morning and he immediately took action! We were so impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. After an hour, he sent us a picture of my husband's ring!!! AMAZING!!!! He is so kind, sweet and he really wants to help others. Thank you, Steve, you are truly an ANGEL!

Thanks for coming out as soon as you could when you where called and taking time to go for a boat ride to look for my wife’s wedding ring on Monday. I know day one was not a successful day but you were determined to find it for her..so you took time off from work Wednesday and returned to start the search again, she found it after hours of looking but still learning from you what to do and allowing us to use your extra equipment to double the search which lead up to her finding her wedding ring..Thank You so much and I know my wife thanks you even more..awesome work and determination

we are extremely grateful to Jarrod. We cannot thank you enough!

testimonial for Jarrod West (2020)

My son, Cole, and his wife, Amanda, were married on Cape Cod on July 28,2019. While vacationing at the Cape with us this year, Cole lost his wedding band floating with Amanda on the Bay in front of our home. I reached out to the Brewster Facebook page and was immediately referred to The Ring Finders and found Jarrod. He came out the next day at low tide and was able to find Cole’s wedding band within an hour of searching. The sentimental value of the ring was priceless and we are extremely grateful to Jarrod. We cannot thank you enough!

Calling Chris was such a great decision and his service is sooooo valuable!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

Chris took me from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs!

I had my engagement ring in my pocket and totally forgot it was there when I went to the Park for a little workout. It wasn’t until late in the night until I realized it was no longer in my pocket. My Fiance and I brought flashlights to the park and searched for 45 minutes. I woke up at 5 am and searched for an hour, went to rent a metal detector, looked for another hour, and was beginning to lose hope. My Fiancé had found Chris’ name online and we looked at his website so we gave him a call as a last-ditch effort. What a great call that was.

Chris Showed up in 45 minutes of me calling and even though I was initially uneasy and embarrassed, he brought such a feeling of relief. He was genuine, caring, and incredibly personable and enjoyable to talk to. He asked lots of good questions and came up with a very logical plan right away. He continued searching when I had to leave for work. After 2 and a half hours Chris found my ring and the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders.

I am confident that I would not have found my ring on my own. Calling Chris was such a great decision and his service is sooooo valuable! Can’t say enough how grateful I am I made the call!

Thank you for trying so hard to find this heirloom for them!! Also finding this ring on their anniversary...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2020)

Jim, I have had the pleasure of being in the Bernath family for 15 years. And I know what this ring means to both Julie and Lonny!!! What you do reuniting people with treasured items must fulfill you! Thank you for trying so hard to find this heirloom for them!! Also finding this ring on their anniversary trip is something stories will be told for a long time about!! They have a beautiful marriage and to reunite them with such a treasure is wonderful!! If you ever are having a “bad day”, just remember how you affect people’s lives and give back so much joy to everybody that you have helped and will be helping!! Thank you again for making sure that a family trip didn’t turn out to be a sad trip coming home! I hope that if I ever lose anything that you would be around! As I always tell Julie and Lonny, “wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a pat on the back and a hug”!! You’ve done good!!! Take care and continue on….changing people’s lives!!!!

Charlie’s steadfastness and earnestness to find our ring was second to none.

testimonial for Charles Newlan (2020)

Yes, he was so happy to help us. And he did. Charlie’s steadfastness and earnestness to find our ring was second to none. We are so very thankful. And overwhelmed that he came to us where we were even on Father’s Day. Made this day very special and we will not forget it. Thank you so much again Charlie!!

His dedication and passion really meant a lot to me, he truly cares about his work!!

testimonial for Steve Smith (2020)

After I lost the ring, I just kept telling myself that it’s okay and it’s just a ring. But it kept bothering me and I felt so sad as if I lost someone. I lost the ring in the afternoon and I was still up and crying about it past midnight. I really couldn’t believe that I had just lost something so important to me so fast. At one moment I was having fun with my friends splashing in the shallow waves (and making sure my ring was on and safe). The next minute later, I was trying to get up from being hit with a scary wave and then I realized my ring was gone.

I already felt much better after contacting Steve. Knowing that someone would still be searching for the ring, comforted me and I had hope! Once the ring was found, I literally felt “in balance” again. The ring was my late grandma’s and wearing it everyday for over three years now has always kept me tied to her. Having it back felt like I had a part of my grandma with me again.

Steve was incredibly kind when we met each other. His dedication and passion really meant a lot to me, he truly cares about his work!! I will always remember this story and Steve!

Thank you Steve!!!!

To say that Dennis is a lifesaver would be an understatement. He showed up within 30 minutes of my call and was a true professional. I highly recommend his services!

Thank you, Don and Ellen. You are the best!

testimonial for Don Wilson (2020)

For some reason, my sprinkler control valves have a habit of burying themselves in my grass. And then they wait until the hottest day of the year to break. Such was the case the other day and fortunately, instead of digging up half my yard trying to find them, I remembered using TheRingFinders.com to locate one several years ago. It’s so worth it to me to have experts like Don and Ellen Wilson to go to when I need them. So I called them up and Don was very happy to come help me out with my little problem, and made arrangements to come over that very afternoon. He actually found three heads that would’ve taken me hours to find. Thank you, Don and Ellen. You are the best!

Dave is the real thing! Genuine, honest, encouraging, persistent, and created the happy ending for our vacation ...

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2020)

When I lost my ring on our first day of vacation, I was devastated. After hours of a failed search, I wasn’t giving up. I googled how to find a ring in the ocean because I was desperate.

We had no idea this service even existed. We were a bit skeptical, but after I spoke to Dave, he calmed my fears. He was so encouraging when I described my ring and I could tell over the phone he was a genuine guy.

We agreed on a fair price of finding the ring and a lower price if he didn’t, but he assured me he would find it. He met me at the condo the next morning and I was right, Dave was as genuine as I expected. When he asked if he could take my picture when he found my ring I was even more encouraged.

Dave got right out in the ocean graphing out where I thought I lost it. After the first hour, I was getting worried but Dave always reassured me that he wasn’t giving up. After the 2nd hour, I had come to peace with the ring being gone forever. However, God is good all the time and Dave is the bomb.

When he motioned he found it, my fiancé and I ran to him in disbelief. If COVID wasn’t here I probably would have knocked him down with the biggest hug ever. Dave is the real thing! Genuine, honest, encouraging, persistent, and created the happy ending for our vacation and an amazing story to tell our friends and family.

We hope we will never have to use his services again, but we will sing Dave’s praises to anyone and everyone.

Thank you so very much! You are amazing!!

testimonial for Charles Newlan (2020)

My wife has been literally dancing since you found her ring!!! We are so very fortunate for your dedication and willingness to retrieve the wedding ring that we share our vows with!

Thank you so very much! You are amazing!!

His equipment and technique were impressive. We recommend him highly...

testimonial for Keith Wille (2020)

Keith Wille saved us last Sunday. Our daughter lost her engagement ring while gardening in Westport, Mass. We rented a metal detector and spent two hours searching the dirt, the weed pile and the paths on

the grass, all to no avail. Someone suggested either renting a more professional metal detector or, better yet, a professional metal detectorist. My wife did a google search and Keith’s name came up, along with

a New York Times article describing his helping archeologists find a lost historic Native American community. Keith was readily accessible and was both hopeful and helpful on the phone. He even said, “If it’s

there, I’ll find it.” Keith came the next Sunday and in ten minutes found the ring. And he has found many peoples’ valuables in the past. And what a nice guy, to drive all the way from Groton, Connecticut, to treat

us with dignity, and to share our joy in retrieving the ring. His equipment and technique were impressive. We recommend him highly if you are in the same situation."

You were so kind and I would highly recommend you to anyone...

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2020)

Jeff, I can't tell you how much your work and your pleasant nature meant to me on finding my precious ring.

We are very fortunate that Chris was there to help us and we highly recommend his services!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

Chris Turner provided excellent service and found my wedding band. We have been married now for 19 years, and I have always felt my band was a part of me and it was inconceivable that it could be lost. However, what I thought could never happen did, and my wife and I searched a large area without success. After speaking with Chris, and reviewing his website, we felt he was our best option, to at least feel that we did all that we can. At this point, we were not very hopeful that it would ever be returned to us. His friendly and professional manner over the phone helped to re-think all the possible spots where it could have been lost. He took the time to truly understand the events and help narrow down the search. Shortly after discussing, he was able to visit the site with his equipment and in little time found our ring. We are very fortunate that Chris was there to help us and we highly recommend his services!

Best,

Jason & Lisa Biggin

"I have nothing but great things to say about our ring finder, Brian!

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2020)

"I have nothing but great things to say about our ring finder, Brian! I emailed him while practically in tears at work a few days after I had lost my beloved engagement ring. He promptly responded and we spoke on the phone on my way home from work. He was so energetic and confident that he would find my ring despite the fact that we had already had 2 other people (in addition to my husband) metal detect our property and had multiple family members on their hands and knees sifting through leaves and dirt to find my ring. To be honest, I didn't think Brian would find it but I wanted someone with more experience with searching for engagement rings to give it a try before I completely lost hope. I wasn't eating or sleeping and I was in tears every day over losing my ring. Brian assured me that he wouldn't leave until the ring was found and to my surprise he found it after 12 hours of searching! It is apparent that Brian is passionate and determined in finding lost rings for people. Because of his determination, skills and optimism I get to continue to wear the gorgeous ring that my fiancé proposed to me at the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany! Thank you Brian, you're truly a good person for devoting your time and energy to finding rings for others!"

We meant it when we said we’d never forget you – it was truly life changing.

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2020)

The moment you realize you’ve lost something irreplaceable is tremendously nerve wracking – but the moment you realize you’ve lost that irreplaceable item in the OCEAN is nearly heartbreaking. After tearing apart the house and retracing every step, Xander miraculously found Dave’s information. After a ten minute chat filled with thorough questions and confident reassurances, Xander hung up CERTAIN that his grandmother’s necklace would be back around his neck by the following afternoon.

And, we mean this with 100% sincerity, Dave must be a magician. He drove from Pensacola to Orange Beach at 7:30 am, searched relentlessly for 4 hours, and, essentially, received a standing ovation from the entire beach when he emerged holding that gold chain. We are fully aware at how that sounds like some fictional fantasy land, but that is truly how magical Dave is. We meant it when we said we’d never forget you – it was truly life changing.

Thanks Chris! You are the best.

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

I lost my engagement diamond ring at Rocky Point Park in Port Moody, BC. I was devastated. I’ve never even come close to losing it once, not even misplaced. I was sitting on a blanket with my ten month old twins, who are VERY busy, and I took my ring off to put sunscreen on them. I went about the rest of my day when all of a sudden at 9pm at night I realized it was not on my finger. I panicked. I tore apart my house, car, stroller, diaper bag and couldn’t find it. In that moment I realized I must not have put it back on after taking it off at the park. There I was, at midnight, out in the park with my headlamp on my hands and knees searching the area where we had sat. Nothing. I was heartbroken. The next morning I posted my lost ring to Facebook and someone was quick to recommend Chris from the Ring Finders. I thought what do I have to lose. Chris was at the park in less than an hour and was determined to find my ring. I was trying not to get my hopes up but was encouraged by his positive attitude and demeanour. Just when I was about to give up hope, Chris bent down and pulled out my ring from the grass. I was shocked. He had found it!!!! He found it within 40 min of searching and that was even with my poor memory and being a little off with the exact area AND with the lawn freshly mowed. He does a great job of asking questions and really truly cares about you getting your ring back. He works on a very fair pay what you can reward system plus a gas fee. But let me tell you - finding my ring was priceless. I wish I had called him sooner. What a lovely man offering a wonderful service. Thanks Chris! You are the best.

Thanks a million for finding my lost wedding band. I still cannot believe that you were able to locate it (buried under sand, in the water).

Thank you so much, Don & Ellen!

testimonial for Don Wilson (2020)

I am so impressed with their professionalism. I called on a Monday and left a message wherein Don returned the call within 5 minutes. I explained we lost a custom made knife that was a 40th wedding anniversary gift off our Lakehouse dock. We arranged to meet that Friday but he called on Tuesday saying could actually come on Thursday. On Wednesday, Don inquired about knife specifications, water depth and said he was actually at the dock and wanted to try using a magnet before diving. The magnet was not successful so the next am, I met them at the dock! He dived about 13 feet and came up with the knife after about 10 minutes. They are so friendly, punctual, prepared and overall professional.

We are extremely happy to get the knife back especially since learned the knife maker no longer doing custom knives so could not have another made. Thank you so much, Don & Ellen! We will definitely refer and use Dallas Ring Finders again!

This man is phenomenal!

testimonial for Rob Ellis (2020)

I called Rob to help find an acquaintance’s lost wedding ring. This man is phenomenal! You could tell that he really cared about finding the ring! After a while, I began to lose hope, but he kept at it! One and a half hours later, he found it! This is a VERY NICE man and he empathizes with your loss and rejoices with you when your lost item is found! It doesn’t get better than this

Odds are in your favor if you call Del at The Ring Finders!

What are the odds that a black wedding band lost in the current of the Deschutes River in Bend, Oregon would ever be found!?

Odds are in your favor if you call Del at The Ring Finders! My son and his wife are thrilled his wedding band was found. I am beyond impressed!

We all are…Thank you Del! It was a pleasure to meet you and celebrate the find!

These guys will find it if you can’t! I promise you!

testimonial for Rich Hageney (2020)

“I had such an amazing experience today when John and his friend Rich came to look for my ring! I had lost all hope I’ve had someone else come to search for it before and I had such low expectations. I was just going to try it as a last resort but gosh am I glad I did! They started searching and I was watching for a bit just to see if they would get anything quickly. I then went to the grocery store with the kiddos because I needed to grab a few things. Rich texted me to see if I was coming back soon and told him I was checking out at the register. Came home and John told me that rich wanted to ask me a question. I said of course with baby in hand walking down the yard I saw John turn his GoPro on and at first I was kind confused then I come down and Rich walks up and asks to see my picture of my ring again. Then as soon as I show him he goes looks a lot like this one doesn’t it? And I full blown cried. I am so thankfully for them today. They did an absolutely amazing job and I am so beyond thankful. I cannot express it enough!! These guys will find it if you can’t! I promise you! Thank you again so much.”

I cannot say enough about how lucky I feel that I found Steve Smith via TheRingFinders network.

testimonial for Steve Smith (2020)

"I cannot say enough about how lucky I feel that I found Steve Smith via TheRingFinders network. A relatively new and expensive hearing aid somehow fell out of my ear while having a small , "social distancing" cocktail with friends in our backyard recently. My wife and I raked and raked the grass with expectation that we would find it but failed. I then decided to try to rent a metal detector to search again by myself-but, found that to be a tough process. And, as my new hero Steve pointed out, I would have had trouble learning how to use it. I found Steve via a Google Search and the rest was history. We live in Pasadena area Foothills-which is a long schlep for Steve-but he drove over the next day. He is a class act and a real gentleman and he found the device after almost an hour of very dedicated searching. My only "quibble" with Steve's services is that he lets the customer decide on payment. I decided to both pay him, and then make a donation to a charity that he chose. Eric"

I finally looked up TheRingFinders and made contact...

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2020)

On Thursday 5/7/2020 made phone contact with him and he advised he would be to my house on 5/9. He arrived on time.

Three or for years ago I lost my wedding ring. A couple of years ago I met a guy with a metal detector while camping. After I told him of my loss he told me about TheRingFinders.com. As our 50th wedding anniversary is coming up I finally looked up TheRingFinders and made contact with Him.

When he arrived at my house I gave him a pretty defined area I'm my yard. He searched for about an hour and was near the last part of the area.

I went into the house for a couple of minutes. When I came back out. He called me over to look at something. He had his shovel in the ground with a small amount of dirt. He asked if I knew what the shiny white gold ring was. In perfect condition it was my wedding ring. He had found it three or four inches down in the dirt.

I grabbed it and put it on my finger and ran into the house. I showed it to my wife. She had thought I was losing my mind when I told her I had called TheRingFinders. She started to cry when she saw the ring. Now she only thinks I hadn't entirely lost my mind.

Jon was probably as excited as we were. My wife and I both thanked him and promised to tell the story and refer him to anyone with a similar situation.

A ton of people referred him to me...

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2020)

I don’t even know where to begin about Dave Cartee. I had posted on every single Pensacola Facebook page I could think of with pictures of my ring and where it was possibly lost on Perdido Key. A ton of people referred him to me. So I emailed him. I didn’t even get back to him with my next email to set up where to look and he took the initiative and searched for my ring with his friend AND FOUND IT. 50lbs have been lifted off my chest and I feel whole again. My husband and I cannot say “THANK YOU” enough to Dave and his friend Charlie. He is such a good and HONEST man!!!! I am still so shocked that someone who didn’t even know my husband and I went to go look for the ring as soon as he could.

I cannot stop saying “thank you” to him and his friend. ???? and I can’t stop staring at my ring haha

I can't thank mark enough for this kindness, and will always be grateful to him...

testimonial for Mark Jachym (2020)

"Shortly after graduating I lost my class ring at a park after a long day of playing volleyball (something I did at that park very frequently). By the time I had finished playing, it was dark outside and I was unable to locate my ring. I went back to look for it with my friends the next morning, with no success. I had resolved myself to the likely possibility that someone had found/taken it, which was quite upsetting given that I had taken some time to design the ring. Fast forward ~12 years, I receive a message on Facebook from a gentleman named Mark Jachym saying that he believe he had found something of mine, the ring, buried several inches underground, right near the volleyball court I used to play on. I was astonished, I couldn't believe that, after all this time, someone had found it and taken the time to find and reach out to me in order to return it. Mark then sent me my beautifully cleaned ring within a day or two of contacting me. I can't thank mark enough for this kindness, and will always be grateful to him for it."

Steve the Ring Man is one of those special breeds of people,,,

testimonial for Steve Smith (2020)

Hey Ring Man!

Steve the Ring Man is one of those special breeds of people that seem to just want to put a smile on your face. After losing a ring in the sand and looking all over to rent or buy a metal detector, of which I knew nothing about, I took a shot and called The Ring Finders. No more than a couple minutes later, Steve agreed to meet me at the beach. He's clearly good at what he does, as he uncovered my ring before I knew it. A couple high fives and laughs later, the deed was done, and now I know who to call should something else ever go missing.

Steve thank you for finding my ring and for being an overall amazing person!

Words can not describe how grateful I am to Steve in helping me find my lost engagement ring. After a fun filled day on Ventura county beach I realized that my engagement ring was missing from my finger. We all looked for the ring frantically having maybe 20 minutes of sunlight left. I left the beach feeling discouraged and upset and thinking I would never see this ring ever again. The next morning I decided to look up someone that could help and luckily I found Steve. He was so kind and reassuring that it was definitely worth going out to look for the ring. I met him in a remote location that was hard to find but he was a real trooper and climb down the Rocky steps to help me. Within maybe five minutes he worked his magic and found my ring! I was so incredibly happy and grateful! Steve thank you for finding my ring and for being an overall amazing person!

Chris and Beverly are honest people, true to their word...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

While spending the day in the park flying kites and playing soccer with my son, I lost my one of a kind Inukshuk wedding band. While putting sun screen on my boy I placed my ring in my pocket, this happened to be the same pocket as my phone. Throughout the course of the day, I removed the phone and took pictures to send to grandma. Each time unaware of the risk...

At the end of the day we returned home and I realized my ring was missing. Upset, I returned to the green space and spent hours walking a pattern hoping to find my ring. The search was non resultant and my heart was filled with disappointment.

Understanding that I had reached the limits of my ability to search, I turned to the internet for help. Who had the expertise and equipment to help me with my lost ring?

Out of desperation, a google search revealed “The Ring Finders” and Mr. Chris Turner.

In a world where you’re bombarded with advertising, forced to separate truth from fiction. The Ring Finders offered exactly what I needed during this time. They seemed too good to be true.

I called Chris on the phone and he stated he’d come out the next day to search for my ring. He only asked I pay his fuel costs. I was surprised he could make it out so quickly and the cost. $30…. Really? In a world where people exploit grief, surely this couldn’t be right however I felt I had no choice.

I met Chris & Beverley the next day where they explained to me the search process and if they found the ring, I would only be required to pay what it was worth to me. Again this seemed too good to be true, pay on a faith based system?

Prior to their search a city lawn mower showed up and immediately elevated everybody’s heart rate, thankfully some smooth talking lead to the mowing being postponed until another day. Chris and Beverly searched for 8 grueling hours, methodically searching the green space.

As I drove by from time to time, I could see the two searching and I could see Chris suffering from back pain. Unfortunately the search turned up nothing. Horrible thoughts ran through my mind that they may find the ring and never tell me, I did my best to quiet those thoughts.

Chris called me and said he would be coming back to search again later in the week, he wished to run an alternative search pattern in order to make sure he’d covered every inch. I told him he didn’t have too as he & Beverly were giving up a great deal of personal time to find my ring. Chris insisted!

True to their word, Chris and Beverley showed up later in the week. I was surprised & impressed with the effort. Within 2 hours of running the second search, they located my ring!! Unbelievable! I showed up at the green space feeling happy.

When I arrived Chris asked me to put on my ring right away, this completely removed any anxiety I had. They found my ring and gave it back to me without any hesitation!

Chris and Beverly are honest people, true to their word. Step by step they mitigated any fears I had and proved my cynical views to be unfounded. Not once did they seem worried about money and I truly felt their priority was to find my ring!

I will not forget Chris and Beverly. They found something very dear to me and the manner in which they acted helped me find a little more faith that good people exist!

A very sincere and heartfelt thank you to Chris and Beverley.

Stan is the man! My girlfriend her ring while we were at the beach.

Mr. Clyde i thank you again for this oppurtunity and reunitning me with my ring.

testimonial for Thomas Clyde (2020)

Hey everybody. My Name is Benjamin and i am the owner of this ring. I had lost this rings 6 years ago. I thought it was stolen and did not even think that i would ever see this ring again. Little did i expect to get a call from my dad telling me someone found my ring. Mr. Clyde did a fantastic job cleaning up my ring and i am extremely grateful he returned it to my family. I’m not a member and clyde did do this out of the kindness of his heart. But if i ever lose this ring i know exactly who to call. Again, I cannot believe that i am seeing this ring again and so many memories of my highschool are rushing through my head. If you misplace anything, Please give Mr. Clyde a call. If this is how he operates for someone who didn’t hire him i cannot begin to fathom the expectations he will pass when you hire him.

Mr. Clyde i thank you again for this oppurtunity and reunitning me with my ring.

I can’t say Thank You enough, But I will spread the word nation wide in our industry of how useful your services are.

testimonial for David Mac Donald (2020)

I am an I.B.E.W. Journey Lineman, working a 220kv Transmission line in the hills above Fillmore, Ca.

On 4-2-2020 we were in the process of Dead-Ending the new conductors we had recently strung in by pressing the Dead-End bodies with a 60T hydraulic press when the top die slid out of the press and fell 100’ to the ground. Despite watching it fall all the way, and knowing where it hit, the ground help was unable to locate the die. We resumed work with another set and 10 minutes later, another die slides out of the press. I didn’t see it fall, but it bounced 3 times off the tower before hitting the ground and no one saw where it went.

It’s not so much the cost of replacing the dies, but the fact that they are 6-8 weeks out (or longer because we are in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic) for replacement, and we now only have 2 sets of dies for the entire job.

After pondering buying a Metal Detector myself, I decided to find a professional. After about 30 minutes of internet searching, I came across The Ring Finders and David Mac Donald. It was 9:40 pm on a Sat. night and I pondered texting him so late, but I only had about a 4hr. window on Sun. mornig to search before a weeks worth of rain set in and makes access to the structure impossible for next 7-10 days, so i texted him.

He immediately texted me back, and was more than happy to help out, and full of questions. What are we looking for?, How big of a search area?, What are they made of?, Can I supply another one to ping his detector with?, and How early do you want to meet?

We met at 7am, and by 7:45 we were at the search area. It only took about 3-4 minutes to find the 1st die. Even though my guys had dug and pulled up weeds and bushes, it was still burried another 3-4” just from the shear impact from that height. The seach area for the other die, I figured could be about a 50-100’ dia. area around the tower as I had no idea what direction it went when it bounced off the tower. So we said a little prayer, and with his good nature and positive attitude, It took David about another hour of searching in a grid pattern,( working his way out on a pretty steep, overgrown hillside, most of the time holding onto the brush with one hand to maintain balance), when he hit pay dirt. He found it about 6’ from the opposite tower leg and still about 3” deep.

I can’t say Thank You enough, But I will spread the word nation wide in our industry of how useful your services are.

what a Saint!!

testimonial for Stan Ross (2020)

After driving home, I realized I dropped my Apple Watch on the beach at Doheny State Beach after camping there for weekend. The park staff was not overly helpful, but one of my friends recommended that I Google metal detecting services in that area - SUCH a great idea, that I would have never thought of!

I am SO grateful that Stan answered at the first place I called ... because within the hour, he Found IT! He traveled to Doheny, searched the location I thought I lost it, and let me know as soon as he found it -I really appreciated his communication (ETA, plan, status, etc.) throughout as well!!

It didn’t stop there....

I live in San Diego (a little over an hour on a good day), so I offered to pay for his time and shipping for he would be kind enough to mail the watch to me. He let me know he needed to come to San Diego for something else anyway and he would arrange to meet up with me when it was convenient and return it in person! And he did exactly that, the NEXT DAY - what a Saint!!

These two are the REAL DEAL…you lose and…they WILL find.

testimonial for Rob Ellis (2020)

I am an Army Reservist and was deployed to Afghanistan the summer of 2019. While gone, I dropped about 30 pounds and returned home a lean/mean machine. While unwinding on my farm in Essex County, Virginia, fishing post deployment, I caught a bass which prompted me to bend over to the edge of my floating pier to get the fish and BLOOP! My huge 42-penny college ring from VA TECH that I have worn every day for 25 years falls into the water. I was devastated and immediately mentally marked the location by triangulating my approximate location on the pond.

I never lose or give up, so I decided I was going to drain the pond using gravity feed PVC pipes and find a diver; the planning immediately commenced. A Google search led me to Rob Ellis “Ring Finder” and then our journey began. I drained about 3 million gallons from the pond over 3 weeks (only about half the volume) and coordinated a date/time with Rob.

Rob is the epitome of professionalism and caring in such situations of losing things that are very close to your heart. He and his wife showed up on a cold and windy Nov day with smiles, compassion and some of the most state-of-the-art equipment one could imagine. My pond is a farm pond that is 25 feet deep (about 12 feet deep now after draining some) and riddled with debris/structure and logs at the bottom. Diving in such an environment even seemed a bit dangerous to me, but not to Rob. He kits up and BAM he is in the water maneuvering through mud and under/over logs and debris like an otter. The tenacity he showed in the water was nothing short of amazing. He exuded the confidence that he WOULD find the ring or break himself trying. In 24 minutes, BAM he finds the ring! I was floored, amazed, astounded and happy to the point of almost crying all at the same time. I swear I could feel that Rob and his wife wanted to find the ring as much as I did, and that gave me hope and confidence. Their service, attitude and professionalism cannot be matched, and I thank them both from the bottom of my heart to be wearing my large 42 penny head-knocker again. These two are the REAL DEAL…you lose and…they WILL find. Thank you both again for the wonderful journey and beautiful ending.

This is Tammy and Oh My Gosh!!! Pulling weeds, lost my diamond earring…looked for almost 2 weeks… tons of rain…totally lost hope until I decided to Google “someone who can find lost jewelry with a metal detector”. Came up with The Ring Finders and my hoping became a reality!!! John and Curtis were Awesome!

At one point I wasn’t sure it could be found, but they didn’t quit.

I will love them forever and I hope I never need them again…But if I do… that’s who I will call!!!

You’re a godsend!

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2020)

Aloha Joe! Thank you so much for finding the ring, from both myself and my wife. I had completely given up hope on Sat night, so getting it back was a total shock. You’re a godsend!

We have already recommended this service and will continue to do so to our friends and family.

testimonial for Joe Au-Franz (2020)

We couldn’t be more grateful to Joe for finding this wedding band for us! We snorkeled around for two days after our dog knocked the ring off of Reeve’s hand, and when the weather took a turn to the worse we were worried that we’d never find it. We have been married for just over a year, and even though the ring is just a symbol, it was so sad to have lost it. I was delighted when my phone lit up one morning with photos from Joe of Reeve with his ring. Now that we have the ring back, I think that it’s magical that the ocean got to wear it for awhile.

We have already recommended this service and will continue to do so to our friends and family.

Thank you so much for your help, Joe!

I would highly recommend you to anyone who would be in need of the services...

Pete is the real deal...

testimonial for Pete McGhee (2020)

Pete is the real deal.

I Lost my Ring in Kai Iwi Lake and Pete found it (Amazing! I never thought I’d see my ring again since it had been missing for days before I found out about TheRingfinders).

When I did contact him I received fast Response to queries. Fair Deal – very reasonable Base Fee, and he was very easy to deal with. He even proactively advised to do the search asap rather than wait for weekend given the location I lost it was in reach of holidaymakers.

He also offered to do the search on his own to save me having to take a 5+ hour round trip drive from Auckland (given that the videos I sent him had enough details to pinpoint the location of where we setup our gazebo that day).

I’ve Received my ring back via Mail nicely wrapped. Thank you Pete!!

God bless you! We will reccomend you to anyone who is in our situation.

testimonial for Paul Humphreys (2020)

Thank you so much!!! You came and completed in minutes, what I couldnt do in hours! My wife Michelle and I cant tell you how grateful we are. You are a true professional and dont even charge for your service. You gave us back something that meant the world to us. The smile on Michelle’s face said it all. God bless you! We will reccomend you to anyone who is in our situation.

Thank you Mike, God Bless You!"

testimonial for Mike McInroe (2020)

I am still shocked that Mike found my diamond engagement ring. I lost it on February 14, 2020 in my front yard. 6 of us looked for it and we even used a metal detector. I was not ready to give up so I googled “lost ring” and found Mike. He came to our home within an hour. He is such a kind man. He was very confident he could find it and I believed him! Within 30 minutes he found it! Amazing. I highly recommend that if you lose something valuable in the Orlando area, don’t give up! Call Mike first. I am so glad that I did. Prayers were answered! Thank you Mike, God Bless You!"

I recommend his services to anyone in need.

testimonial for Paul Michelsen (2020)

While playing with my dog my wedding ring came off into the snow in my yard. I spent four hours looking for it with no luck. I found Paul online and he was able to locate my ring in under ten minutes. The discovery made him almost as happy as it made me. I recommend his services to anyone in need.

He has a kind heart and a passion for connecting people back with their cherished items...

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2020)

A big thank you to Jeff #SeattleRingHunter from The Ring Finders. I am so thankful that he answered my husband’s email within minutes. He happened to have time that very day, Valentine’s Day, to come all the way to Puyallup from Auburn. He’d found my ring that I had lengthy and tiredly searched for 2 weeks for in less than 30 minutes. He has all the top notch high Tech equipment. He’s very knowledgeable and thorough. But most of all he has a kind heart and a passion for connecting people back with their cherished items. Hands down amazing experience. Thank you so much Jeff for your time, your positive energy, and returning me with my wedding ring.

Jeff was very thorough and efficient...

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2020)

Jeff was quick to respond to my message about my lost wedding ring on a 25 acre ranch. He believed I had a good chance of recovery because of the details I had given him. He provided me with so much information about how he works to find things that it gave the hope back that I had lost after not finding my ring for 2 months. Jeff was very thorough and efficient. He was out in the rain for hours, making sure no piece of land was left un-searched. After 4 long hours of metal detecting, he found my ring in a completely different spot than I had told him I thought it was! He was amazing!

I would definitely recommend Craig as the ring finder guy you can trust!

testimonial for Craig Marten (2020)

Lost Wedding Band.

I lost my wedding band at the beach while on vacation. Immediately, my husband started searching for it. He was advised that it would be helpful to use a ring finder, because this does happen often. This is how we found Craig.

He came out first thing in the morning and was so professional and thorough, going over the area I was in for at least 2 hrs. Unfortunately, we were unable to find it. Craig told us that there are people that go out at night after everyone is gone and someone could have recovered it then.

He did reach out to us the next day and said he will be going out to that area again and will try using a different detector.

Even though we were unable to find it, I would definitely recommend Craig as the ring finder guy you can trust!

Thank you again Craig for your efforts!

. I am so grateful that there are people like Kai who are willing to give of their time and abilities so selflessly just to help others.

testimonial for Lanaki Adric (2020)

I was at the beach with my family and took my rings off to reapply sunscreen, then completely forgot about them until we had already packed up & were heading back to the car. I went back to look for them but it was impossible. I thought that they were gone forever. A friend referred me to Kai so I thought it was worth a shot. I emailed him that night & he replied right away. He went back to the beach early the next morning to look. I couldn’t believe that someone would spend hours on his day off trying to help someone that he had never even met! i honestly wasn’t expecting much and didn’t want to get my hopes up, but I couldn’t believe it when he told me he had actually found them! He even drove out with his family in the middle of the night to return my rings. I am so grateful that there are people like Kai who are willing to give of their time and abilities so selflessly just to help others. Mahalo for everything that you do & for finding and returning something so precious!

He really saved the day ! I’m so glad I found TheRingFinders !

testimonial for Mike Wingard (2020)

I’m not sure how to post a testimonial for Mike Wingard out of Mobile Alabama . But I lost my wedding ring on thanksgiving day on our farm , we had to leave for a trip so I wasn’t able to find it . I got in touch with Mike and we couldn’t be happier ! He really saved the day ! I’m so glad I found TheRingFinders !

Thank you again, Chris! You have no idea what it means to have my ring back.

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

I emailed Chris in a panic late Saturday night to help me find my engagement ring that fell off while playing in the snow with my son. He emailed me back right away telling me to call him ASAP. He made the drive (3 hour round trip) Sunday morning and after searching for just a few minutes he found it! But he had to fake me out first, asking more questions and telling me more about the equipment, then he just casually asked me how it felt to see my ring again and held it up. It took a second for me to register what I was looking at, I was so shocked! I definitely didn’t expect to see my ring again.

Thank you again, Chris! You have no idea what it means to have my ring back.

Luke is now our hero and I will recommend him to anyone...

testimonial for Luke Schlining (2020)

So grateful that Luke was able to find my wedding ring in such a short period of time! My wife and I were worried that I would have to purchase a new ring to replace the one I lost. We both didn’t want to do that because it wouldn’t have had the same sentimental value. Anyways Luke is now our hero and I will recommend him to anyone that needs help finding a lost item.

I can’t say enough nice things about Don...

testimonial for Don Marshall (2020)

I can’t say enough nice things about Don. I was up most of the night at the hospital with our daughter letting my wife get some sleep, so losing my ring was the last thing I needed at that moment. Spent the better part of two hours in a sleep-deprived panic looking around in the deep snow before giving up and getting in touch with Don. He got back to me right away and told me he’d meet me as soon as he could. He was totally unflappable, just calmly persevered until we’d checked every possible place it could be until we found it.

I’m incredibly relieved and endlessly grateful. It was a tough few days already with our daughter being sick and I didn’t need one more thing to worry about. Thankfully, along with finding the ring, I also got to take my wife and daughter home from the hospital. Everything is as it should be again.

Don is a gem, and he seemed so happy and excited to have been able to help. Thanks again, Don!

He’s the real deal – a ring finder and a gentleman!

testimonial for Steve Smith (2020)

After working all afternoon in our yard, cleaning out leaves from the planting beds, I was horrified to look at my hands and realize that my wedding ring was no longer on my finger. What can you say about a ring that’s been there for 34 yrs and daily reminds you of all those shared years? I was stunned. We looked for it unsuccessfully and then we found Steve’s website. He arrived at our house in about 15 minutes and found my ring in less than 10. Wow. I couldn’t stop smiling for 24 hours. The whole drama transpired within an hour … from lost to found. I don’t know which chapter was more astonishing … losing the ring or Steve’s quick recovery. I hugged him (asked permission first!) – he was so gracious, knew exactly what he was doing, and in a short period of time left 2 VERY grateful people. He’s the real deal – a ring finder and a gentleman!

I found The Ring Finders on line and called...

testimonial for Penny Shutts (2020)

I love turtles. I bought a silver ring with turtles etched on it. I had to go out and shovel the walk before work. I had my gloves on but took them off before getting in my car. That’s when I noticed my ring wasn’t on any longer. I had to go to work and didn’t have time to look for it at the time. When I got home from work, it was starting to get dark. I looked for it for about 30 minutes. Then it got so dark I couldn’t see anymore. I found The Ring Finders on line and called. I made arrangements to meet Penny in a couple of days. I showed her where I had shoveled. It took her about an hour, but she finally found it. I will be more careful taking off my gloves from now on.

Me and my wife are so happy and grateful for you...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2020)

Hi Chris, thank you so much for reunited our wedding ring. Me and my wife are so happy and grateful for you being so kind. You saved our blessed ring and even didn't accept any reward for returning it to us. Wish you a wonderful year full of blessings. Thank you, Davidson and Sueli.

Steve is like a superhero!

testimonial for Steve Smith (2019)

Steve is like a superhero! I'm so happy I didn't give up and took to the web to find some help. Steve responded to my message first thing in the morning and was quick to make himself available that afternoon. He kept me updated on his status and was positive in all communications - a real comfort when you're panicked. He arrived with a smile and was ready to roll.

That ring has been on a journey through the family for over 75 years and I'm glad it didn't end that night on the beach.

Thank you, Steve, for being so generous with your time and being available so quickly. It's a breath of fresh air to meet someone who uses their talents to help others for the right reason. You rock!

Thank again.

He really saved the day, and I would recommend his services to anyone...

testimonial for Norm Peters (2019)

We lost my fiancé’s engagement ring in Hawrelak park today while getting some photos taken, so we called Norm, and he was there within the hour. He showed up with all his gear, and he found her ring in no time! We never would have found a white gold ring buried in the snow on our own. Norm was very friendly, helpful, and is a real professional at what he does. He really saved the day, and I would recommend his services to anyone who needs help finding something they’ve lost. Thanks again Norm!

There are not enough good things to say about Bob...

testimonial for Robert Downie (2019)

Words can’t adequately describe the persistence and determination Bob displayed. When we first met and discussed the possibilities of where it might be, it seemed possible if it wasnt found in the first 10-15 hours, it could be a challenging recovery. Even after 5 years, I was sure it was on the property somewhere…. as we approached Thanksgiving, we began to discuss the possibility the search would have to be delayed until spring if the ground froze. Early on, Bob provided daily updates on target areas and progress. He had defined the communication process to be via phone, he would only text if he found a ring. We exchanged many calls over the course of 2.5 months. I knew Bob was coming on the 9th. The terrain had become quite challenging and the weather was bad. At some point, I noticed there was a text message from Bob. Didnt register at the moment and I was busy, a while later I recalled the communication process guidelines he mentioned and thought I better check that… “I found a diamond ring”…

I hadn’t really thought much about how I might inform my wife. I had resigned myself to the fact it might not be found. I decided it would just present it to her that same day. She put it on like it never left, and I’m not sure we could get it off now even with a stick of dynamite.

There are not enough good things to say about Bob, his professionalism and determination. Truly a unique individual. While I certainly hope I don’t have to use his professional services again, what I can say, is if you find yourself in a predicament requiring these services, this is the person to call.

I would highly recommend Mark...

testimonial for Mark Rubey (2019)

Mark was amazing and extremely quick to respond when I contacted him about doing a search. After a little back and forth, Mark was at the park I lost my ring at the next morning. After telling him about where my son and I were playing and where I thought I may have lost it, he began his search. After cleaning up a few old rusty cans that he found he located my ring in roughly 30 minutes. Even after he located the ring it still took me a second to actually see it amongst the bark. I cant explain how grateful I am for Mark! Thanks so much and I would highly recommend Mark to find any items that you loose.

Thank You!

My family will forever be grateful for their work especially my grandmother...

testimonial for Thomas Clyde (2019)

"For years, I had heard various stories from different members of my family regarding rings that had been lost on my grandparents’ property. One story mentioned my grandfather’s lost wedding, another was about a missing class ring belonging to one of my uncles, and a further one revolved around my father’s also absent class ring. At one point in my youth, my parents purchased me my own metal detector after I decided I wanted to see if any of these stories were true. Alas, my childhood inability to focus on one thing for more than a short period of time got the better of me and I gave up on the search.

Now over a decade later, my grandparents’ home of almost 60 years is being sold and my ninety-two year old grandmother is moving in with my parents. While packing up their house, I suddenly remembered some of those old stories and talked to my grandmother about them. With the sale of the house pressing down on us, I felt a sudden compulsion to try and determine if any of those lost rings were actually out there once and for all. I pulled out the old metal detector, did a little searching, but alas it was to no avail. Not willing to give up just yet, I did a little googling and happened to come across TheRingFinders.

I found a few local nearby guys through the site’s directory and sent them both messages. I got a response from Steve Andrews within hours of messaging him and he agreed to come out the following day. Unexpectedly, the next morning Tom Clyde messaged me as well to tell me he was already on his way. I was worried about both men showing up at the same time when they were expecting to be detecting alone. Fortunately, I was happily surprised to find out that both men knew each other and were willing to search together. With low expectations in place given the information we were going off of, I was shocked when after only forty minutes Steve pulled my uncle’s class ring from the ground. Both men were extremely professional, easy to talk to and communicate with, and were more than reasonable in their pricing. If anyone in the Hampton Roads area needs a ring or anything else of its kind found then they should not hesitate to reach out to either Steve or Tom. I am firmly of the belief that if either of these two men can’t find what you’re missing than no one can. These guys know what they are doing with their years of experience and various successful hunts serving as evidence for their skills. My family will forever be grateful for their work especially my grandmother who was profoundly happy to have a piece of one her late children back again."

Jeff, you’re THE BEST!

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2019)

You won’t be disappointed in using Dave’s services, he is honest, trustworthy, and an all around great guy...

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2019)

If anyone ever loses any jewelry in Pensacola, your first call should be Dave with Ring Finders. When we lost Dani’s engagement ring, I didn’t know what to do. Unfortunately I didn’t have insurance on the ring at the time and googled how to find a ring lost in water. I contemplated on buying a metal detector and then I stumbled upon Dave’s ring finder page. I had a good feeling to go with Dave because of his great success at finding rings and all of the positive comments people wrote on his page. Dave and his father in law Tom went above and beyond to locate Dani’s engagement ring. I can’t believe that after 4 months they didn’t give up, Dani and I sure did. We are beyond thankful for their hard work that ultimately ended in Tom finding our ring. You won’t be disappointed in using Dave’s services, he is honest, trustworthy, and an all around great guy. Thank you again Dave and Tom for finding Dani’s ring!!

Thank you so much for giving us a little piece of our mom back.

What a great gift to have this ring back! Thank you so much for giving us a little piece of our mom back.

My family will forever be grateful

testimonial for Steven Andrews (2019)

"For years, I had heard various stories from different members of my family regarding rings that had been lost on my grandparents’ property. One story mentioned my grandfather’s lost wedding, another was about a missing class ring belonging to one of my uncles, and a further one revolved around my father’s also absent class ring. At one point in my youth, my parents purchased me my own metal detector after I decided I wanted to see if any of these stories were true. Alas, my childhood inability to focus on one thing for more than a short period of time got the better of me and I gave up on the search.

Now over a decade later, my grandparents’ home of almost 60 years is being sold and my ninety-two year old grandmother is moving in with my parents. While packing up their house, I suddenly remembered some of those old stories and talked to my grandmother about them. With the sale of the house pressing down on us, I felt a sudden compulsion to try and determine if any of those lost rings were actually out there once and for all. I pulled out the old metal detector, did a little searching, but alas it was to no avail. Not willing to give up just yet, I did a little googling and happened to come across Ringer Finders.

I found a few local nearby guys through the site’s directory and sent them both messages. I got a response from Steve Andrews within hours of messaging him and he agreed to come out the following day. Unexpectedly, the next morning Tom Clyde messaged me as well to tell me he was already on his way. I was worried about both men showing up at the same time when they were expecting to be detecting alone. Fortunately, I was happily surprised to find out that both men knew each other and were willing to search together. With low expectations in place given the information we were going off of, I was shocked when after only forty minutes Steve pulled my uncle’s class ring from the ground. Both men were extremely professional, easy to talk to and communicate with, and were more than reasonable in their pricing. If anyone in the Hampton Roads area needs a ring or anything else of its kind found then they should not hesitate to reach out to either Steve or Tom.

Stan is the best!

testimonial for Stan Ross (2019)

Thanks so much to those of you who so quickly reached out to me. Fortunately I came upon

“Stan Ross / The Ring Finders”. I found him online but was hesitant to call since he’s based in Newport Beach. As desperate as I was, I gave it a shot.

Let me tell you, as it turned out, I was the one who found the treasure in Stan!

I called at 4pm. The sweetest man EVER answered and after telling him about my situation he said “No problem, I’m not busy, I can head right over now.” An hour and a half later he pulled up in his super cool (very shiny) fire engine red Mini Cooper loaded with every detector and gadget you could imagine.

While crawling around my hillside garden in the DARK, the ring was found.

Stan is the best! And as an added bonus, he comes packed with some really fantastic stories of others and their recovered treasures.

Oh, did I mention he only accepts donations/tips?!

I can’t wait to stupidly lose something else just so we can have him over again.

Very pleased with Wes' service...

testimonial for Wesley Felts (2019)

Cleveland fall weekend weather. Leaves to rake, bag and take to the street. Cold weather and wearing work gloves. Stopped to blow nose numerous times and take the gloves off. Didn't notice the ring missing until Monday morning. In a state of panic. Wife and I spent two hours at night searching with flashlights--no luck. Wife spent 4 hours on the internet looking for resources when she came across Wesley Felts who was located through TheRingFinders and close to our home. Talked with Wesley on the phone at great length about the type of equipment he uses searching for various metal objects. We agreed on a date to initiate the search but snow came and I was concerned that we would be out of luck until spring at least. Lo and behold the snow melted in time for Wes' search. Arrived promptly on time and within 15 minutes had the lawn grid laid out and began searching. We had about 1/3 of an acre to cover and a 5 foot pile of leaves. 2.5 hours later he comes into the hour to warm up and shows me a ring on his finger and asks if the missing ring looks like this one!!!! I was one very happy camper!! Very pleased with Wes' service. I hope to never have to use his services again but I am keeping his name in my phone in case anyone else needs his services. Thank you Wes!!!

I prayed for help, God sent me an angel... Wesley

testimonial for Wesley Felts (2019)

I prayed for help, God sent me an angel... Wesley Wesley, I can never thank you enough for finding my wedding ring..... From the moment I called WesleyFelts@theringfinder.com, he told me to stay positive, have faith, he would find my wedding ring. Wes arrived at our home on a mission, with a great attitude, he was very kind and caring, he knew I was broken hearted. He reassured me and gave me hope, Wes knew I was doing a good deed when I had lost my ring, I had been helping out a neighbor in her yard who is battling cancer....I am still amazed how he patiently and carefully looked thru the snow, fallen leaves and straw. He was very professional, Wes had the right equipment for the job, he asked me all the right questions to get an idea of where to search, and as a result from his professionalism I am wearing my beloved wedding ring again! Wesley found my ring! Thank you WesleyFelts@ringfinder.com for doing this kind of tedious work, for helping others not only find their sentimental jewelry but also giving us hope. An act of kindness goes a long way, imagine our world if everyone did just one. God bless you Wesley! Sincerely, Maria

I was floored, and beyond grateful...

testimonial for Steve Smith (2019)

A cool thing that happened to me today, a bit of an emotional rollercoaster (don't worry, nothing serious):

For background - my wedding band was purchased from Amazon (prime!) for a variety of reasons. (1) It was $7, at a time that I was spending a lot on other wedding-related expenses, (2) I'm notorious for losing personal items (especially sunglasses) and didn't want to risk losing something valuable, (3) its cheapness (and replaceability - did I mention Amazon prime?) would cancel any potential emotional attachment, (4) I thought it would make for a funny story.

Well, as things worked out, I've held on to the damn thing for almost 5 years. And never lost it outside my house, but the brief times I can't find it around here I freak out. Emotionally attached indeed.

Today, my kids had the day off for Veteran's Day, but I was at work. Our new babysitter was helping with the kids, and she took my toddler son to the park a few blocks away. I work nearby so I decided to drop by and say hi. My son was so excited, and grabbed me to follow him to the swing. I chatted nearby with the babysitter, then followed him to another slide. He grasped my hand tightly again to follow him, and I froze - I felt a sudden panic as if I felt my ring fall off. I frantically looked around, sifted through the nearby sand, but couldn't find anything. Or maybe it didn't fall off, and it was never there? I've definitely left it (or lost it) at home a few times, so that was the more plausible explanation - just a phantom sensation associated with his squeeze and seeing my naked finger. On my walk back to my office, I called my mother-in-law to ask her to check the bathrooms or my nightstand, in case I left it. No dice, but I still knew it could be hiding somewhere.

I went back to the playground about 45 minutes later, did a cursory sweep of the area again and realized the futility of such a task. I spent the afternoon in a bit of a funk. Not certain it was lost on the playground, but very much not certain it wasn't. This time felt different. I put up an ad on Nextdoor. I started researching metal detectors, and even ordered a basic one on Amazon. I looked for my ring and realized it's been discontinued, much to my chagrin, but some other company offers an identical one (this time $18! alas!). I contemplated getting a nicer ring this time, but really wanted to keep trying to find it. After all, THIS is the ring that my wife put on my hand on our wedding day. I can't pretend I'm not invested.

I returned home, futilely searched the few spots it might be, then gave it up to spend time with my kids. My son was sad, but I knew this wasn't his fault - his only "crime" was being so excited about seeing his father that he may have accidentally pulled off a cheap piece of jewelry? And I can't even be sure that happened? Perspective!

Meanwhile, someone on Nextdoor recommended a metal detecting network called The Ring Finders, comprised mostly of volunteers and amateur sleuths. On a lark, I contacted the first guy listed in my neighborhood. A man named Steve (https://theringfinders.com/Steve.Smith/) seemed more than willing to come give it a shot, and said our best bet was to get started ASAP. We arranged to meet at 6:30. I felt sort of sheepish as I drove over to the park, as there was still some shot that I had misplaced it at home, and imagined the entire episode. He pulled out a nicer looking metal detector than the beginner one I had ordered, and a scoop to sift the sand. We set out in the darkness to the area I believed the ring might be hiding. Not 30 seconds later, and he gets a ping, almost exactly where it would be in my mind's eye! Eureka! Instead, his bucket came up with a half dollar coin. Cool, but not the treasure we were after. He methodically swept the area and moved further away from our starting point. He came up with a few dirty pennies, but nothing else. I started to lose hope, but Steve was undaunted, and we started to move towards the only other area I knew my son and I had been.

Just before we left, he decided to check the other side of the path, in case the ring had flung itself a few meters in the wrong direction. My hopes were fading fast, but onwards. He got a faint pinging, one that indicated the source was buried a little deeper. I was sure this was another penny. The scoop came up with some detritus, but the pinging persisted. He scooped again, and then again. Lo and behold, my little ring! Buried about 6 inches deep, no idea how. I was floored, and beyond grateful. This was a pretty great way to redeem a day that was heading south quickly. Steve asked to photograph the ring, and myself, and we both left the park in great spirits. A good day!

Anyway, just thought I'd share. Thanks to Nextdoor and definitely to Steve. That was pretty cool.

Thank you, Brian! You're the best!

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2019)

Brian took time off time from his vacation to help me find my wife's wedding ring that I had dropped on the way back from the pool. I was carrying it to our apartment so that it wouldn’t get lost at the pool and I still lost it on my walk back to the apartment. We found The Ring Finders online. He called me back within minutes of emailing him with my situation and he said that he could come out the next morning and help me. He did exactly that and found my ring in under 10 minutes. We had 4 people looking for it in the same places but couldn't find it! With Brian's metal detector and expertise it was found! It means so much to both of us that Brian was able to retrieve our original wedding ring. The experience was fun, easy, and efficient. Thank you, Brian! You're the best! It's hard to believe that there is such a nice, honest, kind, self-less person in the world that was able to help me with this problem.

appreciation of John’s kindness and services.

testimonial for John Favano (2019)

John’s ring finding services are impeccable. He let me know when he was available, called the day before to confirm and gave me a half hour heads up arrival notice. He felt completely trustworthy to search for a precious lost ring. It’s his hobby but also a skill generously offered to help find a ring that has many levels of value for me. I lost a gold band while giving my dog a bath on our deck. It traveled somewhere covered in abundant fall leaves from our humongous beech trees. He warned us against racking since we could accidentally discard the ring with the leaves. So the ring was totally lost from view. This ring’s design replicates one my mother wore and my closest friend wears an identical ring. Within 15 minutes he successfully located my treasured ring making me truly happy. In deep appreciation of John’s kindness and services.

I truly wish I had known about The Ring Finders and Del years ago...

testimonial for Del Witters (2019)

I could simply not believe how easy Del made this entire process. I wish I had known about The Ring Finders years ago, but Del wasn't worried at all about the elapsed years. He was very prompt, direct, and friendly throughout the entire exchange, offering all kinds of detail about the entire search plan and procedure. Luckily we had quite a bit of photo documentation of the day of the loss, and I had fun looking at satellite photos and circling areas of highest likelihood at Del's request. He made excellent use of that information and was super efficient in his searching. I had hesitantly gotten my hopes up when he first told me how certain he was, especially given the size of the property and my time- and alcohol-befuddled memory of the events of that day. While I was excited to hear about the search, a significant part of me was expecting an email saying that all daylight hours were utilized but ultimately fruitless. Instead he let me know that he had the ring in hand in time to be home for lunch! What a rock star. Dell knows the technical side of the business well but also excelled and proactively handling all of the personal details too. He made the effort to woo the property owner and reassure her about any concerns, and he had that ring in the mail and flying across the globe to me immediately. I didn't even have time to plan an elaborate reveal, it was incredible. From beginning to end, our entire interaction with Del was amazing, and I can still hardly believe how easy this was--for me as the customer, that is. I truly wish I had known about The Ring Finders and Del years ago, as I would have called much, much sooner.

If you ever need someone to find a lost item, Brian is your guy...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2019)

I contacted Brian to help me find my platinum wedding band that I lost in about 2 feet of water at a private beach in Anne Arundel County. I came upon Brian after googling tips for finding a lost wedding ring at the beach. Brian was very enthusiastic, courteous, kind, and his optimism about the situation was contagious. Even after not having success the first day he looked for it, he was still very positive, determined, and certain that he could find it. Brian went out of his way to help me by squeezing in a second search on his way to his vacation! The man loves what he does! He found the ring on the second search before I could even get to the beach to see how it was going, and I only live 5 minutes away! If you ever need someone to find a lost item, Brian is your guy. Super nice, friendly, optimistic, honest, and talented. People say I was lucky to find the ring. I tell them it was not luck, it was Brian’s skill and attitude. Lastly, based on my interaction with Brian, he’s not in this for the money. He’s truly looking to help people find their invaluable items and gets a huge thrill from helping them. Thank you, Brian!

So very happy that Pete made contact

testimonial for Pete McGhee (2019)

So very happy that Pete made contact as I took the bold step to ask on our local FB grapevine for help. Every so often I would return to the supposed site to try and find the lost earring and as the months progressed I started to doubt where I thought I had lost it. Pete didn’t take very long and was very thorough – he has to contend with my guinea fowl calls in the back ground but within 1/2 hour after deciding to explore further Than the initial field area & after carefully listening to my poor recollection of the loss – there it was – in bedded in the under growth – I certainly would never have seen it If it wasn’t for the metal detector alert as it looked quite insignificant and dull And certainly didn’t look like metal but another piece of undergrowth !. Not for long – will be off to get it properly cleaned tomorrow .

I'm so glad that you were trustworthy ...

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2019)

Thank you so much for helping me find my ring!! It was so amazing to me that a stranger actually wanted to help me find my ring, and not scam me like other strangers had tried to do. I'm so glad that you were trustworthy and took a genuine interest in helping me. Thank you so very much!

We were overwhelmed with joy!

testimonial for Greg Bradford (2019)

I wanted to share a review of Greg Bradford’s Jewelry finding skills.

We lost a diamond stud earring, its about as small amount of metal as I can imagine losing!

The earring was so personally sentimental to us! The ring was lost in the grass in our front lawn, we spent countless hours crawling around the yard to try to find it, without success. We thought we’d never find the earring again! I then came across the ring finders network, and Greg’s profile. Greg came across in his profile has a very professional person and top notch personality! He showed up at my front door and was every bit like his profile read, a top notch professional! Greg went right to work with various metal detectors, and was actually explaining how he was looking to match the existing earring to the lost earring. He was very personable and took the hunt with enthusiasm and vigor. After 1.5 hours Greg found the lost earring! We were overwhelmed with joy! We couldn’t believe we actually were seeing the earring again… I must have told 10 people in the next hour of Greg’s abilities and was so happy for the rest of the day! Can’t express how glad we were in finding Greg, hope you all never lose anything of value but if you do, call Greg as soon as possible!

Thank you again for everything Steve you truly saved the day.

testimonial for Steve Smith (2019)

"My worst fears had come true after proposing to my girlfriend. No she didn't say no to "will you marry me?" but as we were taking celebratory pictures with our photographer, the ring fell into the waves below the Malibu Pier. My Fiance and I were overcome with emotion and our greatest day was shaping out to be one of the worst. My best friend who was there with us called his uncle, who referred us to Steve from the ringfinders.com and this man could truly not be more of a saint. He stayed and never gave up searching below the pier with full gear for hours. Finally, as I was losing hope steve held up my glittering ring into the sun and I was overwhelmed by his kindness and diligence. Thank you again for everything Steve you truly saved the day.

Thank you Jason Scanlan/The Ringfinders!

testimonial for Jason Scanlan (2019)

I contacted Jason Scanlan at “TheRingFinders” to discuss running a metal detector in the cold, moving water. Within ten-minutes of searching there was a “beep” in the headphones and I knew where to scoop with a long-handled net. Another minute or so later and I had my GoPro camera and equipment back in my hands. I pressed the power button and was able to watch the recorded journey my camera took after being knocked off of my kayak.

Thank you Jason Scanlan/The Ringfinders!

Mike is a friendly, kind and generous guy

testimonial for Mike Baker (2019)

Hi Friends & Neighbors,

This week, I met a very generous and special member of our FPF community! His name is Mike Baker and he is a member of "The Ring Finders", a group that helps people find lost metal objects of all kinds!

I contacted Mike to get help finding an electronic car key which I lost some time ago on a friend's property. We had searched repeatedly but could not find it!

Mike came over on a cold evening, head lamp and metal detector in hand. Even in these conditions, in a short time Mike had located my key! And the most amazing thing is that he does not charge for his service! Instead, he accepts donations, without obligation, the lion's share (and often all of which) goes to the Central Vermont Humane Society, Over the years, Mike's service has generated many donations for his favorite animal rescue and adoption charity.

Mike is a friendly, kind and generous guy who deserves our thanks and support in his efforts to serve our community and our animal friends

Forever grateful for your service and kindness...

testimonial for Sean Boddie (2019)

Brilliant Service!! Can’t believe my luck in finding Sean at such a stressful time. I called thought he might not respond but thankfully got back to me within a couple of minutes and was onsite a couple hours later. I didn’t want to leave it to chance with the rising tide losing the exact area it was in. So glad Sean managed to find it within seconds of arriving! Sean made quick work of it. Thanks so much for relocating my Wedding band mate. Would have never been the same if lost even replaced. Worth every penny. I had no doubt you would be able to find it and happy with the agreed reward. Win win. I can see why you love your job Sean. Thanks a Million.

I thought it was a lost cause, until I reached out to Scott for his help...

testimonial for Scott Guise (2019)

Scott, found my engagement ring after I'd lost it kayaking a few months ago! The water was deep and murky, and the current was moving very fast. I thought it was a lost cause, until I reached out to Scott for his help. He gave me hope and was willing to travel all the way to Ohio to search for it. His generosity gives me hope and I am still in awe that he was able to find my ring!

Thanks again Scott Guise!

I am in awe of Luke, Jim, and the other ring finders...

testimonial for Luke Berube (2019)

Where to even begin?

I was enjoying a beautiful Saturday with my husband and friends, soaking up the sun and playing catch in the water, when my worst nightmare hit - my wedding band and engagement ring were missing. Immediate panic and retracing steps set in, assuming them lost forever in the ocean. A kind group came over to us frantically searching the ocean, telling us about theringfinders.com who had recently found a lost ring for them. In the midst of tears, I emailed Luke who immediately got back to me, telling me he would be in touch the next morning. The next day, Luke and Jim searched the ocean for 2-3 hours, fighting seaweed and waves, assuring me when they came up empty that the ring would be found.

Two days later I get a call from Luke who is returning to look for the rings after working all day. I happened to be on my way to look as well, wanting to recheck the beach instead of water. 10 minutes away, I get another call from Luke who has BOTH rings.

Speechless.

I am in awe of Luke, Jim, and the other ring finders who help people during one of the most miserable, embarrassing (and expensive!) moment of their lives. The fact that I am able to celebrate my 1 year anniversary (and all future years) with my original rings is something I will never be able to thank them enough for. Luke mentioned believing in karma and all I can say is that good karma is coming his way for the rest of his life!

To the rest - 1) Insure your jewelery 2) don’t wear them at the beach 3) contact theringfinders.com

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Tricia

You guys HAVE restored my faith in the good in people!

testimonial for Tom Perry (2019)

THIS is Chelsea’s mom. When she called me in tears the day before saying it was lost I was heartbroken for her. He fiance’, Chance, had NOT told her her that the ring was a family heirloom. She felt horrible, yet loved as Chance had said,”it’s ok,it’s only jewelry.” Yet she knew better. I must admit that I WAS very sceptical about this organization. Especially since Mr. Perry only asked for “gas money”.

You guys HAVE restored my faith in the good in people! Even had you NOT found the ring, the way you rallied together to search was AWESOME!

Jim you were a Angel to come to our rescue!

testimonial for Jim Wren (2019)

Jim you were a Angel to come to our rescue! Words aren’t enough to say how grateful l was to see you. I have told everyone l know about you and The Ring Finders! I still tear up when l think about that day! A big Thanks to Matt Fry for being so gracious to get you to call me and Randy that day, Matt was on vacation but jump right in to help. We will never forget either of you! Many thanks again!

If you have lost something, don’t give up hope, give Steve a call.

testimonial for Steve Smith (2019)

Steve Smith is amazing! I called Steve after I lost my vintage Scottish Rite ring in my garden after pulling weeds. The ring was given to me by my late mother, and was from the 1920s. It has tremendous sentimental value to me and I was heartbroken after discovering that I had lost it. Tip: never pull weeds without wearing gloves, no matter how tempting. After immediately discovering my ring not on my finger, I told my wife. She found Steve’s info and I was about to call him, but she said to try finding the ring myself first. I spent several hours crawling around where I thought I had lost it. Digging into the ground well into the evening. I then remembered a friend telling me that he owned a metal detector and that he occasionally would go gold hunting. I called him up and picked up the metal detector wrapped in a plastic garbage bag. He told me to pull up the instructions off of the internet and wished me good luck. After watching several Youtube videos, I started to look for the ring. The metal detector began to pick up sounds from every type of metal in the ground, including years of nails, and other garbage. After about four frustrating hours, I gave up and called Steve. He came over the next day and I told him the story of what happened and my attempts at finding the ring while he assembled his gear. He then started to search and within two minutes exclaimed “is this what you are looking for?” I was amazed at Steve’s abilities at finding things. I really can’t thank him enough. We ended up speaking afterwards for a good forty-five minutes. It turns out we are both surfers and had a great time talking about that. If you have lost something, don’t give up hope, give Steve a call.

My sincerest thanks to Rich and the TheRingFinders organization.

testimonial for Richard Browne (2019)

It was so kind of you and your organization to help me.

I purchased this ring on Maui for my sweetheart (ku’uipo). Some years later, it had to be cut off her finger, so the sizing had changed. At one point, it had been lost in the garden in Kahului, Maui but we found it a few months later.

As my spouse hadn’t been wearing it for some time, she offered it back to me and I was thrilled to get it. I wore the ring with no issues for many years until that fateful day when I went swimming with it on.

I felt it fall off my finger and tried to retrieve it without success. I posted on Craigslist and was directed to TheRingFinders. They said they’d do what they could–although I thought by that time, the ring would have migrated far away from where I had lost it.

I received a call some months after and Rich said that he had found it. I trekked down to Cape Cod where I was reunited with my ring.

My sincerest thanks to Rich and the TheRingFinders organization. After a year in the surf, I never thought that I’d get this very sentimental piece back.

Mahaloa nui loa (thank you very much) for your kokua (help) in my quest.

I hope you are treated as well as you treat others.”

testimonial for Brian Rudolph (2019)

"Brian..You didn't restore the ring, but you did restore our faith in humanity. I know that sounds silly, but your kindness gives me hope that there are genuine, kind, honest people in the world who would help me if I were in trouble. You came to my home and gave me something without expecting something back- I've never experienced that before. You deserve more than money. I hope you are treated as well as you treat others.”

A huge thank you and gratitude to Jeff and Craig and TheRingFinders!!!!

testimonial for Jeff Lubbert (2019)

We will be forever grateful to Jeff Lubbert who found the ring and Craig Nesmeth for arranging the search. We travelled to Tennessee for a family reunion and rented a log cabin through Airbnb. On our last night of fun and celebration, my daughter’s fiancé had given my daughter his family heirloom to hold. A ring that was his great-great grandfathers ring that had been passed down through the generations. She slipped the ring onto her finger and never felt it slide off, the rings loss was not noticed until the end of the night. We all (about 40 of us) searched for the ring on hands and knees. It was gone and we were all devastated. My brother heard of the website LostMyStuff, he put a post out that site and Craig contacted us a few weeks later. Craig and Jeff asked permission of the owners and then went up to the cabin to perform the search. Jeff found the ring!!! I cannot tell you how happy our entire family was in hearing the news. Texts went flying from California, Texas, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, New York and Australia. Tears of happiness!! We will be forever grateful!!! My daughter’s boyfriend (Sean) not only received his family heirloom back but received it one day before they were to leave for their travels. A huge thank you and gratitude to Jeff and Craig and TheRingFinders!!!!

I am forever Thankful for Tracy Santee and his hard work. I can’t say enough good things about Tracy...

testimonial for Tracy Santee (2019)

Always Keep Faith.

I am forever Thankful for Tracy Santee and his hard work. I can’t say enough good things about Tracy. He is a great professional guy. I felt like he was as invested in finding my ring as I was. He was willing to get wet and dirty. What impressed me the most is he was willing to meet me multiple times to search. If you lost something Tracy is the man to find it. Throughout this whole thing my wife and I kept Faith that we would find it. With Tracy’s help we did.

My story is about faith, determination, and a trusty helper named Tracy. I lost my wedding ring in a lake at nearby Mt. Gretna, while playing with my daughter. It was a fantastic day until I felt an odd feeling on my ring finger. It was my ring sliding off. I pulled my hand out of the water and to my dismay I was missing my wedding ring. I yelled to my wife for help. We searched with the help of a nice couple and a few life guards but to no avail that day.

I didn’t know what to do. But I knew I needed to get my wedding ring back. I did a Google search and found ring finders. I contacted Tracy and he was more than willing to help me. I arranged a time where Mt. Gretna lake would let us in to search. I had just purchased a small cheap underwater detector to help search. Tracy met me and my father at the lake to search. I told Tracy what happened and about where I lost my ring. He told me his plan of attack which sounded great. He started his systematic search, while I tried my best at using my small handheld detector. In a few minutes he gets a hit right about where I lost my ring. I dive down to scoop. Nothing… But Tracy still has it on his detector. I dive down again. Lots of sand but no metal. Then his detector turns off and won’t turn back on. He says this is odd, I’ve never had this problem before. He quickly learns water somehow got into it. So my dad had the great idea of taping my hand held detector to hockey stick. So we could search the bottom but not have to go underwater. Tracy being the expert that he is, I let him use the hockey stick metal detector. We were able to find a few soda tabs and coins, but no ring. And it was time for us to get out of the lake before it opened to the public.

Tracy had to send his detector off to Texas to get fixed. When he got it back, we got in contact and set up a time to search again. Unfortunately, I couldn’t help because of work. But Tracy met my Dad at the lake to look again. This time Tracy brought his son to assist and dive for objects. My dad said they covered quite a bit of area and went pretty deep into the water on their search, but nothing.

The lake I lost it in closes Labor for the year and no one is allowed in until they open again. That date was getting close. I emailed Tracy asking if he would be willing to search one more time. I was very thankful he said he would. So I arranged it that I could help him search. We were finding lots of change and metal junk but no ring. The lake owner comes down and says you have 10 minutes left. Just after that Tracy gets a really good hit. I dive down and located it with a pin pointer. Then get a greater big scoop of sand. I’m shaking the sand out and I think I see a sparkle. I tell myself don’t get to excited. I shake out some more sand. There my ring is sparkling back at me. I picked it up, put it on, and yelled “I got it!!!!!” This happened as the owner was coming to tell us our time was up. We found it in the last second.

Thank You Tracy!!!!

Highly recommend to anyone who lost a ring...

testimonial for Alan Seeney (2019)

Alan, thank you so so much for finding my ring that day! Almost a year later now and I am still so grateful. We had a crazy story and a very happy ending to tell at our wedding because of you! Highly recommend to anyone who lost a ring near Bethany Beach!

Thank you Keith Wille...

testimonial for Keith Wille (2019)

“My lucky day to run into Keith Wille on Second Beach in Middletown RI yesterday 15 minutes after I lost my wedding ring in the sand. Keith was walking by with another individual and assuming they were a couple of metal detection enthusiasts I asked Keith Wille for a favor to scan our area for the ring and he quickly obliged. What I didn’t know until after he found it is that Keith is in the business of finding valuables for people who lose them and the individual, he was walking with was his client – another guy who had lost his ring the previous day! (Keith found that guys ring too!). Thank you Keith Wille and if anyone find themselves missing valuables in the New England area – call Keith quickly!

She is an amazing person and I am very lucky to have met her on theringfinders.com.

testimonial for Ann Milburn (2019)

I was at a cottage in boshkung lake over the Canada day weekend. While I was swimming in the lake, I lost my almost brand new Apple Watch. I was extremely disappointed on myself for not being able to take care of it and there wasn’t a single day that I did not think about my watch. Especially, since I am a student it was a very big deal for me and on top of that I was using the watch mainly to deal with my anxiety and panic attacks. After a month of waiting to see if someone returns it, I came across the site theringfinders. Then I met this amazing human being, Ann Milburn. She offered to find me my watch and went out of her way to find me my watch. She drove 1.5 hours away from Peterborough and spent much of her time trying to locate my watch. When she sent me the photo of my watch, I was over the moon. It’s a feeling that you cannot express in words. She is an amazing person and I am very lucky to have met her on theringfinders.com. She is a fine example that humanity still exists. I’ll be forever grateful to her and I would recommend her for anyone in my situation. May god bless her !

Best regards,

Mr. Smith is nothing less than a true angel ...

testimonial for Steve Smith (2019)

My daughter was visiting Los Angeles and lost her engagement ring when she got knocked down by a wave in the surf. She was completely distraught and we tried contacting anyone we thought could help her. Totally by chance, I stumbled across The Ring Finders website and contact information for Steve Smith. With it already being 24 hours after the fact and her having already flown out of the area, I was not at all optimistic.

I sent him satellite pictures from Google maps of where she was, pictures of the ring, and told him what time of day she lost it. He immediately identified that when she lost it was at high tide and said he needed to look for it between midnight and 2 am so he would be out there looking that night. I was shocked that a complete stranger was willing to go out at midnight wandering on the beach to try to find her ring!! I was even more astounded when he messaged back that HE FOUND IT!! I can’t even begin to comprehend HOW he did it (other than he must be an absolute genius) but whatever he did, it works!!

Mr. Smith is nothing less than a true angel and we can’t begin to thank him enough!! Not only did he find a ring that everyone was certain would never be seen again but he did it in the middle of the night when he could have been home in bed asleep!! Mr. Smith, you have definitely restored my faith in humanity and proven that there are still truly good people out there who are willing to put others interests ahead of their own! The world is blessed to have people like you in it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Enter Stan, The Ring Finders angel...

testimonial for Stan Ross (2019)

Here’s our Frogge family miracle vacation story: We are visiting my father and brother, Mark, in California and spent a fun day in Malibu yesterday at the beach. While we were there, Patrick realized his ring had slipped off his finger into the ocean. It was an engraved signet ring that his father had given him for high school graduation, and Patrick’s father passed in 2000. So it was pretty irreplaceable. We searched in vain for the ring and gave it up for lost.

Enter Stan, The Ring Finders angel: Online, I ran across a local business that searches for lost rings using metal detectors. Stan Ross of Ring Finders offered to look for the ring if we agreed to pay his travel costs (parking and gas). He told us that if he found the ring, we could pay him whatever we felt his services were worth. This sounded too good to be true, but we decided to try it. We looked at beach photos from yesterday to try to determine exactly where Patrick lost the ring and gave Stan our best estimation.

Last night I dreamed we found the ring, and this morning, Stan pulled up to my brother’s house, ring in hand! Patrick Frogge Mark

I recommend him to anybody who has lost a valued piece of property!

I cannot say enough good things about Dave and this service. ..

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2019)

We cannot thank you enough Dave!!! While we both knew the ring is replaceable and just a “thing” at the end of the day—I was HEARTBROKEN! When I realized it was gone I sobbed. It was the ring my husband hid in a Christmas reindeer slipper and gave me on December 23rd…it was irreplaceable to me. We called Dave about 2 hours after I realized the ring was gone. Within the next 2 hours Dave arrived in Orange Beach and had my engagement ring back on my finger! We will always be thankful for you!!! I cannot say enough good things about Dave and this service. He arrived within 45 min. He was confident and gave me hope that I would actually get my ring back. You saved my birthday week at the beach. Thanks doesn’t seem like enough!!:)))

Sean Kelly is a miracle worker! (And a very nice guy, too)

testimonial for Sean Kelly (2019)

Sean Kelly is a miracle worker! (And a very nice guy, too)

I will be forever thankful for people like Sean Kelly! I recently lost my gold/platinum wedding band in about 5 feet of salt water while swimming off my sister’s dock in Northport, Maine. I had recently lost weight, so it was a bit loose on my finger. When my hand went into the ice-cold water, the ring came right off. I tried diving for it for about 40 minutes, but only managed to stir up the sand on the bottom. I thought it was gone forever. My brother went to Google and found The Ring Finders website, and saw that Sean Kelly was located quite near Northport. He came out the very next day with his scuba gear and his positive attitude. He had checked the tide table for our location, and surveyed the scene off the dock. Then he went under and got to work. After surfacing about 4 times bringing up a lot of metal debris that was interfering with his metal detector, I was beginning to lose hope. But he told me not to lose hope, and he was determined to continue searching. The next time he surfaced, he had my ring! He said he found it a few minutes after saying an underwater prayer to St. Anthony (the patron saint of lost items). Sean is a real professional, and he is passionate about what he does. He obviously enjoys seeing the smile on your face when you realize he recovered something you thought was gone forever. Thanks, Sean!

He’s so passionate about helping people...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2019)

Chris (The Ring Finders) was so kind since the beginning! He made us feel confident about finding our wedding ring! He came as soon as he could, and kept us updated while we were waiting for him.

He’s so passionate about helping people finding their valuable/sentimental lost jewelry... We strongly recommend his services! Thank you so much, Chris!! Fernanda & Miguel

Chris Turner saved the day,...

testimonial for Chris Turner (2019)

We happened upon “The Ring Finder” out of desperation when our 5 yr old lost her new ring at the playground. To our surprise Chris Turner came immediately to our rescue at that very moment. In the darkness he not only found our daughter’s invaluable, sentimental ring, but he also stayed afterward to rid our local playground of hidden dangers. He found various nails hidden in the sand where children play! Chris Turner saved the day, and we are so grateful for his generous service, and kind spirit!

testimonial for Jonathan Hamill (2019)

We just wanted to show our appreciation by sharing our testimony...while enjoying our family picnic at the beach, we started to play volleyball, and with all of the excitement, I had forgotten to put my jewelry away, prior to playing. During the game, I looked at my hand and noticed that my ring was missing! The game was immediately stopped, and everyone helped me search tirelessly. My husband started searching online, after going so long without locating the ring. He contacted Mr. Jonathan Hamill, and my wedding ring was found within 30 minutes! Angels do exist!

Rick and Luke were my vacation heroes!

testimonial for Richard Browne (2019)

Rick and Luke were my vacation heroes! I am so grateful that my sister was able to locate these two guys. I still am in awe that they found my ring. I gave them the best guess I had on where I was in the ocean and they were able to locate my ring after 3 days. I was told by a lot of people on the beach that they would’ve given up after the first day of searching but I knew the universe had put these two guys in my life for a reason. They would not give up and searched for HOURS. I knew after talking to these gentlemen, they would find my ring. I never lost hope after meeting them. I read reviews on the site after first losing the ring and stayed hopeful though trying to accept that I might never find the ring again. Rick and Luke delivered in the best way possible. I am so incredibly grateful to have had these guys in my corner searching for me and I hope others can have the same sense of hope when you are in such a state of despair. I was once that person and these guys did the unthinkable!

Thank you so much for the time and attention...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2019)

Jim you’re my hero! Thank you so much for the time and attention you gave to turning this ladies unhappy tears to those of joy. You are a jewel!!!

He is a quality individual in many ways. Extremely kind, patient, and skilled.

testimonial for Jeff Morgan (2019)

I had called someone else right away after the ring was lost. I gave it a few days and still had no reply. Getting anxious as time was slipping by, I researched again. I found Jeff Morgan and within less than 24 hours of that first phone call, Rob was wearing his ring again! We had just about given up on any hope the ring could be found. But Jeff did it!

He is a quality individual in many ways. Extremely kind, patient, and skilled.

Call Jeff Morgan first!

PS: unless you lost your cell phone, take a picture right away of the location of the loss. I wish I would have thought to do that.

testimonial for Chuck Raison (2019)

Hi Chuck! Thanks again for finding Ron’s ring! It was actually over 2 years ago that the ring was lost. I thought it was a goner. Ron had faith that he would find it. It was incredible that you guys came out to help us. I wanted to be optimistic but I was confident your efforts would be in vain. I could not believe it when you guys waved me down to the end of the dock to tell me the ring had been found! I am still stunned! What a great story we have to tell. And we owe it all to you and your fellow RingFinders.

With great appreciation and admiration,

I highly recommend Mr Archer,

testimonial for Richard Archer (2019)

Mr. Richard Archer came out to my horse Pasture in search for my wife’s wedding ring. I myself looked for 7 hours by myself but with no luck. I highly recommend Mr Archer, he is a great guy and very educated in what he does. He was able and willing to answer any and all my questions I had about what he was doing to find my wife’s ring. He is very friendly and a great guy to be around. I’m very pleased that he could find the missing ring. He found the ring in a little over an hour of searching. Thank you Richard!

I would recommend John without any hesitation or reservations...

testimonial for John King (2019)

John is amazing! My wife lost her wedding ring, engagement ring, and a very fine gold chain with a pendant while swimming at a lakeside public beach. We didn’t know exactly where the jewelry had fallen off, but it was lost in around 4 feet of murky water with a sandy / gravelly bottom. My father and I searched for hours on the day that we lost the items, but it seemed impossible. I did some online research that night and I found John’s information. I am absolutely ecstatic that I did. John is courteous, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and punctual. He stayed positive and optimistic while keeping me grounded. I gave him a very difficult task and he made short work of it. He found all of my wife’s jewelry and he made it look easy. I would recommend John without any hesitation or reservations. If you have lost something precious to you, John is your man. I was thrilled to have the rings back, but the best part was getting home later that day. I put my wife’s rings on her finger like it was our wedding day again. Seeing the smile on her face was absolutely priceless and it is all thanks to John! I hope I never lose those rings again, but if I do, John is my first phone call!

Thanks for the incredible work you and your team does every day...

testimonial for Jim Wren (2019)

I gotta say Dave and Gregg are the real deal!!!

testimonial for Dave Boyer (2019)

Steve here! I gotta say Dave and Gregg are the real deal!!! After 5 long days of my chain sitting at the bottom of Lake Michigan I was ready to accept that it was gone! But Tuesday night I randomly came across Ringfinders and Dave and called, and spoke with Dave the following morning. The very next day he and Gregg where on a mission. I liked how he acted with a sense of urgency and how dedicated he was to finding my chain. I am still In shock they found it! Along with all my friends and family. When he showed up at my job and handed me my chain, I skipped the handshake and gave the guy a hug! Haha! That’s how happy I was! These guys are legit! And masters of this craft! Have 2 be 2 find a chain in Lake Michigan in 8 inches of sand 5 days later in 15 or 20 minutes! Thanx again Dave and Gregg! I really am grateful for your help and glad I came across your website!

Keith Wille, YOU’RE THE MAN and I want everyone to know."

testimonial for Keith Wille (2019)

"Over this past week I have heard some funny, sad and plain crazy stories of how people have lost their wedding rings. Well, here is mine:

Jess and I got married last Saturday in Groton, CT. It was by the water and it was an amazing night. After a long day/night of tearing up the dance floor, I decided that I needed to go for a late night swim in the ocean to freshen up (not recommended). All was great, the water was the perfect temperature and the sky was clear and you could see all the stars. I floated around for a little bit and then went back to the beach house to call it a night.

The next morning we had brunch at my god parents’ house and someone wanted to see my ring. Never being a ring wearer, I extended my arm and looked at my hand and realized that it wasn’t on my finger. Without panicking, I told my family if they told Jess I would kill them and I sprinted to the beach house (ran about 100 ft, got out of breath and walked the rest).

I flipped the beach house upside down looking in every room/bathroom/drain/pocket/shoe that I came across. It wasn’t in the house so I went to the beach where thy lay the nyth before. Couldn’t find it thur either but knew that it was somewhere yonder in the deep blue arrrrr.

Oh well. Jess and I are great, just another story to tell….

I decide to look on the internet and stumbled across Keith Wille on metaldetectionkeithwille.com. Keith is a treasure hunter/diver/metal detector user from New London, CT and he had some great reviews on the web site. So, I sent him a message about my stupidity and he responded almost instantly.

I met him during low tide at the beach today. He was metal detecting on the beach and ventured into the water up to his waist. After about an hour of him finding diamonds, treasure chests and bricks of gold, he had no luck finding my ring. It was football Sunday and I was starting to feel bad for him searching for a cracker jack ring. Soon after that, I figured he was calling it quits because he put his metal detector and shovel down. He looked over to me, reached into his treasure bag and pulled out my ring.

Keith Wille, YOU’RE THE MAN and I want everyone to know."

You definitely are the best! I really appreciate it!

testimonial for Steve Pacifico (2019)

Where do I begin. I don’t know how to thank you for finding my ring. I’m so glad that I got in contact with you. You definitely are the best! I really appreciate it! I will definitely recommend you to anyone who needs your services.

I am forever indebted to Dave and would recommend his services to anyone. ..

testimonial for Dave Cartee (2019)

I can’t thank Dave enough for helping me find my wedding ring and saving my vacation. I lost my ring our first full day in Orange Beach. Needless to say, it was quite a buzzkill to lose something sentimental that you’ve worn every day for 10+ years. I didn’t hear about or talk to Dave until almost three days later, so I thought for sure my ring was long gone. But Dave very calmly and confidently told me he could find it. He cleared his schedule and made the hour drive to meet me. When he arrived, he reassured me that hope was not lost and he was right — he found my ring within 30 minutes! I am forever indebted to Dave and would recommend his services to anyone. He is proof that good, honest people still exist in this world.

Steve showed up and saved the day!

testimonial for Steve Smith (2019)

It was a typical beach day. I removed my diamond eternity band to apply sunscreen as I always do but somehow got distracted and forgot to put it back on. Suddenly about an hour and a half later I realized my ring wasn’t on my hand. I had set it next to me on my beach chair and now it was gone. Likely buried in the sand somewhere. I was distraught. I had a fast thinking friend who called a metal detector shop and they referred us to Steve. We had tried to contain the area where we thought it might be as best we could. Steve showed up and saved the day! After going over some details with me, he put his equipment to work and sure enough, the first swipe yielded my ring! I will be forever grateful to Steve for finding this very sentimental gift given to me by my husband.

Thank you again Steve

Thanks to Chuck’s skill and perseverance, I have my ring back...

testimonial for Chuck Raison (2019)

Chuck is AWESOME. The ring was my mother’s wedding ring with my husband’s addition of a 25th anniversary band. I truly thought I would never see the ring again. I was devastated. I google searched “LOST MY RING IN A LAKE” and TheRingFinders came up. I decided that was my only chance at ever seeing the ring again. Thanks to Chuck’s skill and perseverance, I have my ring back. He is very professional, kind and tenacious. Without him, I’m sure my family heirloom would be buried treasure. Can’t praise him enough!

Thank you so much Ken!! You are amazing!!

testimonial for Ken Dewerson (2019)

No amount of words that I have could properly thank Ken for finding my ring. It is a native carved wrap humming bird ring that my aunt Allison gave to me for grade 12 graduation. A ring that I could never find a replacement for.

I was out at the beach tossing sticks for my two dogs who absolutely love the water when I felt the ring being tugged off by a knob on the stick. Automatically I slid my thumb to my ring finger to feel for the ring already my heart had sank because I knew that I wouldn’t find it there. That particular evening the wind was blowing and the waves were crashing on the beach. There would be no chance to find the ring as I couldn’t even recall hearing a splash in the water giving the rings general direction. Out of chance it didn’t go far my husband and I scoured the surrounding beach with no luck. The next morning bright and early I went back to the beach with a rake but I knew that with the crashing of the waves and the water movement I wouldn’t find it without more help. I reached out on FB and a friend directed me to The Ring Finders. The next day Ken found my ring with his underwater metal detector (and a lot of garbage… so sad) in the Okanagan lake. It wasn’t an easy find because I didn’t really know where it was, just where I was when I lost it. Ken wouldn’t give up until he found it! Thank you so much Ken!! You are amazing!!

f you need help finding a lost ring or other metal object, Del is your guy!

testimonial for Del Witters (2019)

Del did much more that what he stated. In my call with him, he was happy to help but suggested I first consider several courses of action that might be quicker and low cost. They were great suggestions but we felt we needed him to do the job. Besides the sentimental value, it would have cost four times what we paid Del to replace it. He and his wife were delightful and we were very happy to meet them. If you need help finding a lost ring or other metal object, Del is your guy!

For all those who think their ring is gone forever, reach out to The Ring Finders!

testimonial for Clare Winslow III (2019)

Clare,

Thanks again for you help finding my ring (21st “thank you”). You’re right, I was feeling heartbroken – the ring means a lot to me. When I realized it was lost in the sand I figured it was gone forever, but you were able to quickly locate it and made me feel whole again.

For all those who think their ring is gone forever, reach out to The Ring Finders!

Words can not express our gratitude for what you have done.

testimonial for Craig Marten (2019)

Craig, Our family is eternally grateful, for all the work you did to locate my daughter-in-law’s rings. My son was devastated, with the news of the loss. Not being there with her, what could we do? Finding two tiny rings, in the ocean, seemed hopeless, for anyone. We needed an expert. An internet search lead us to you. You made the impossible possible! With your expertise and perseverance you were able to return her rings. What a feeling of relief, when we heard you had found BOTH rings! Truly Unbelievable! Words can not express our gratitude for what you have done. Thank you, Lisa

there are still good, honest people on this earth! Thank you once again, Richard, for saving our ring…

testimonial for Richard Browne (2019)

My wife and I could not be more thankful for Richard Browne and The Ring Finders!! My wedding band fell off while swimming at the beach, and on a whim we Google searched “will a ring lost in the ocean wash up shore?” The very first hit we received was for The Ring Finders. We emailed Richard late in the evening, and we were shocked to see a quick reply in the middle of the night! He met us the next morning (he was even early!), and he stopped at nothing until the ring was found, despite the high quantities of sea weed and the 90-plus degree summer heat! Even after all of Richard’s hard work, we had to twist his arm to accept a generous thank you tip! He really does this because he enjoys helping others – there are still good, honest people on this earth! Thank you once again, Richard, for saving our ring… and our vacation! ????

Hello, my name is Chris Gentry and I have been married to my beautiful wife, Aurelia for 13 years. We reached out to Mike McInroe thru theringfinders.com to find my wife’s lost wedding ring. We noticed her ring had gone missing while we were visiting the beach in Daytona. We had somewhat of an idea where the ring could have slipped off but we were not 100% sure. Our experience with Mike was wonderful. Mike was professional, kind and we could tell he was passionate about finding my wife’s lost diamond wedding ring. Mike set up his search gear and an hour and a half later my wife’s diamond wedding ring was found!! Mike even prayed with us before he started his search! I highly recommend Mike and theringfinders.com if you have a lost item. I have no doubt Mike will do everything possible to find it. God bless, Chris and Aurelia Gentry”

Hi Mike! Again I cannot thank you enough for finding my hubby’s ring! We appreciated your quick response to what was a terrible way to start our vacation! I will admit that I was very skeptical when theringfinders.com web site was recommended to me but you accomplished what I thought would surely be an impossible task. I know that everyone values their wedding rings, but his is extra special! Not only did we inherit our wedding ring set from my parents, it also survived my husbands’ near fatal car accident 14 months ago. This was our first vacation and his first time back to the ocean since then. We appreciate your prayers for him. And I want you to know that after we met in person and talked, I knew that the Lord had sent the help I had asked for, He sent us you!! Thank you again Mike and God bless!! Sincerely, Jennifer and Chandler from Georgia”

Gregg is nothing more than a life saver and a miracle worker!

testimonial for Gregg Larabel (2019)

Gregg is nothing more than a life saver and a miracle worker! The feeling of heartbreak I experienced upon losing my rings was more than I had ever experienced. Can’t believe he answered our call and made it to the beach so quickly. I had given up hope after the first pass went by with only the penny and quarter found. Gregg had so much patience and truly felt for Andy and myself. Nothing can describe the joy and relief I had when my Grandma’s ring appeared. Then the next two were found and I thought thank you God! Gregg we are forever grateful for your help.

Sean was awesome! He worked tirelessly until he found the ring

testimonial for Sean Kelly (2019)

While boating with friends, my wedding band & engagement ring went flying off my finger when I tried to swat a fly away from my face. Thankfully the engagement ring landed on our friend’s boat which was tied up next to us, but the wedding band was gone. We searched our boat and our friends, we weren’t even sure it landed in the water but my husband jumped in anyway to look for it, nothing. The next day we went back and my husband spent over two hours snorkeling trying to find it, no luck. After contacting our insurance agent we confirmed that it was fully covered but we didn’t want another ring, we wanted that one.

I found Sean Kelly from TheRingFinder.com on line, located in Rockport over 100 miles away, I wasn’t even sure he would travel to Rangeley but thankfully he did. Sean and his wife Darcy drove nearly three hours to help us.

The ring was in 6-8 feet of water, the bottom was really silty, it took very little movement and visibility was almost completely gone. Given the size of the ring, the conditions and the amount of time that had passed (a week by the time we found Sean and he was able to come to our rescue) I really didn’t think it could be found but I knew we had to try, it was our Hail Mary.

After an hour of searching, Sean came back to the boat for a second tank of air, a short rest and back into the water he went. Visibility was near zero due to the silty bottom, we could tell he was having a difficult time keeping his bearings but he was persistent.

Nearing the second hour, I had pretty much given up hope and was resolved that my ring was gone forever. I started putting things away, preparing for the trip back to camp, and trying not to cry. But then Sean swam back to our boat, held out his hand and showed me my wedding band, I didn’t even try to hold back the tears. I think I was just as shocked to see it again as the day I lost it.

Sean was awesome! He worked tirelessly until he found the ring and was invested in the search as much as we were. You can tell this is very personal for him, and his family. His wife couldn’t wait to call their daughter and let her know her Dad had found the wedding ring. We are so grateful and thankful to Sean, and his family who are so supportive, we could not have done it without him.

If you lose something, first don’t panic. Second find some way to mark the location as best you can (my husband used gps, and took a photo of the shore line). Next, contact Sean! Oh, and DO NOT post on social media, let the professionals get there first!

We truly think of Tom as a friend now...

testimonial for Tom Perry (2019)

Tom is a blessing. To be honest, I was not sure that this service was actually a possibility. It sounded way to good to be true. But, when I called Tom, he instantly said he was on his way and that he would give it a shot. Meanwhile, so many friends and family (and even strangers) told me it was going to be ok. They told me that the ring was only a piece of metal and that I should be thankful for my life and the lives of others that I love. Of course, I understand this since I have lost one too many in my life, and this entire situation made me appreciate all that I do actually have. Still, it hurt to lose such a sentimental piece. My mother in law who gave me this ring trusted me with it. When I called her to tell her that I lost it, she sang “Mother Ocean” by Jimmy Buffet to me focusing on the line “And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen”. I was beginning to accept the lose since the ocean had my treasure, and after all, my husband and I are pirates, so it made sense. But, when Tom jumped off that ferry, we snatched him up on our golf cart and headed to the beach. He went straight to work and found the ring in about 20 minutes. My husband and I celebrated with each other, our friends, and our family. I learned so much through this experience: be thankful for what you had and what you do have, trust humanity, and never give up. Also, don’t put lotion on your ringed hands before swimming in the ocean, or if you do, TAKE OFF YOUR RINGS!

We truly think of Tom as a friend now and hope to see him some time in the future.

The Spring Lake Police Dept recommended TheRingFinders and we called Dennis...

testimonial for Dennis Burlingame (2019)

Dennis is seriously amazing! We lost our engagement ring on the beach and didn’t realize until we got home. The Spring Lake Police Dept recommended TheRingFinders and we called Dennis right away. He met us 15 minutes later on the beach and asked us to mark off the area where we had been sitting hours earlier. We left him to do his work and he scanned the area. About 15 minutes in he began digging, and removed his headphones because he had found the ring. We couldn’t believe our eyes – we will never forget Dennis and can’t recommend him enough. Thank you, Dennis!!!

I have shared this story with everyone I know, you made my entire summer.

On a side note, my daughter’s reward that day was mini-golf and ice cream, thought it was well-deserved.

Thanks again!!

Chris’s dedication and perseverance absolutely made my decade!

testimonial for Chris Turner (2019)

What can I say... this guy has a heart of gold!

One day, my toddler was holding my hand and fiddling with my wedding band while we walked across a huge grass field. Much to my dismay, when I looked down, my wedding band was missing. I could not believe that the wedding band that I had kept safe for the past ten years was gone in an instant. I looked with a large group of people for about 45 minutes with absolutely zero luck. We even bribed the kids at the birthday party to look for it. They were crawling around in the grass looking everywhere. I thought it was lost forever for sure. Particularly because it is a dainty, thin, little band that could easily hide in grass. Someone suggested that I call Chris Turner, the Ring Finder, so I thought I would give it a shot.

Chris took my call right away and offered to help me look for my lost wedding band the very next day. Chris came right on time and spent quite a long time searching meticulously, narrowing down the possible location of the missing ring. Unfortunately, it did not turn up that afternoon, and I was further convinced that it was gone for good.

Chris kindly offered to come back and search again with a more sensitive metal detector. I didn’t get my hopes up, since I didn’t want to be disappointed if it didn’t turn up on a subsequent scan. Well, it must have been my lucky day because Chris found my tiny little ring hiding in the grass. I was truly not expecting that it would turn up, so I was absolutely amazed and so incredibly grateful!! Chris’s dedication and perseverance absolutely made my decade! It was a truly irreplaceable item and Chris found it for me. I cannot thank Chris enough for time and energy that he put into reuniting me with my lost wedding band.

Thank you so much for your time and your efforts Chris! You are a true gem!!

Thanks again Scott!

testimonial for Scott Juusola (2019)

Thanks again Scott!

Too add, don’t trust amateurs. My Friend, father of the kids I was playing with at the beach that day had a detector. We went out with his detector and found nothing but rocks. Called Scott the next day, he was over within 1 hour and found it shortly after the start of his search.

Awesome,

Reid
