Brian Carpenter's Bio

I am recently retired after a lifetime of public service and this allows me the opportunity to continue helping people, albeit through very unique means. I have found metal detecting to be a relaxing, yet challenging hobby and I am constantly looking for new opportunities to search. I cannot promise that I will be able to recover your lost ring or valuable, but you can count on me to give an honest and diligent effort in doing so.

    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. I contacted Brian, who took my call right away and came out that same morning. Within 15 MINUTES, he found them. WONDERFUL guy to work with and would definitely recommend him.

    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!

  • I will recommended Brian to absolutely anyone within ear shot forever. A true good fella who came through in the clutch... (2022)

    Item

    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!!

    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 !

    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.
