Highly recommend Norm’s services for any lost items! (2025)
Thank you so much Norm!
Norm was great. As soon as he showed up he got right down to business, which I appreciated. He ask where I thought I had lost my ring and how I thought it was lost. He seemed very intentional with his questioning, like a detective from an old movie. He told me, “Leave it to me, I’ll find it” leaving me feeling like I found the right person for the job. Norm got started and I went inside. After about an hour I looked out my window and saw how much ground he had covered and started to lose hope, wondering if I had pointed him in the wrong direction or if the snow was just too thick. Another half an hour or so went by and Norm knocked on the door with no mention of my ring. We invited him inside for a cup of tea as it was quite cold that day. I started to tell him where else I thought it might be, he told me that based on what I told him before it would not likely be elsewhere. Then he raised his glove and laying in his palm was my ring, with snow still in the center of it. I was overjoyed and yelled out, “He found it!”. Norm really made my day after days of wondering if I would ever see my ring again. He came inside to have his tea and told us some funny stories of lost items he had found for other people. Norm is a great guy, and his experience really shows. I hope I don’t need his help in the future but if I do, he’ll be the first person I call. Highly recommend Norm’s services for any lost items!

My goodness, you are a life saver... (2025)
Norm! My goodness, you are a life saver. I felt like the unluckiest person on planet earth, yet your services turned my whole week around. You not only were such a pleasure to meet, but you also were so kind and positive the entire way.
Whether it’s a gold signant ring from abroad, or a gold plated ring prior to his passing, recovering this ring meant so much to me.
You were highly communicative, factual, and so resilient in the weather. Our encounter will leave me thinking twice before wearing any treasured jewelry to work.
Hats off to you, and I hope one of your clients wins the lottery and gives you some of the earnings!

I’m extremely impressed and grateful to Norm for finding the ring. I will be recommending him to anyone who loses a ring in the future. (2025)
Norm was absolutely amazing. By the time he showed up, I was feeling pretty dejected, and like it was a lost cause, as he mentioned, I had been searching for quite some time, to no avail – My fiancée called him in the afternoon, and he showed up promptly. He showed up with metal detectors, test rings to toss and see possible trajectories of where it could have flown off to, and he set off. He first combed the area that I had been working within to ensure I hadn’t missed it, and then proceeded to go far above what I would have expected. He started combing the entire parking lot drive, from end to end (about 20 spots length), and as he was coming back up from the end, he found it in the snow. Where he found it, I couldn’t have possibly imagined searching based on what was described to me by my fiancée.
I’m extremely impressed and grateful to Norm for finding the ring. I will be recommending him to anyone who loses a ring in the future.

Thank goodness for his wonderful service! Thank you again! (2025)
We are so very grateful to Norm for finding my Anniversary ring! It was a pleasure to meet you as well! I couldn’t believe that there was a actual service for finding rings.
I Googled tips for finding rings in cars. A company called The Ring Finders came up but in the U.S..I Googled Ring finders Edmonton and area and Norm Peters came up. He came at 1:00 as agreed promptly. It was taking a long time and I was getting discouraged. He told me right off the bat if there is a ring in this car “I will find it”.
He was right! He kept looking with determination! In the end he was successful in finding my ring! Thank goodness for his wonderful service! Thank you again! Adele & Nick

Thank you so much Norm, I am very grateful to you. (2025)
Norm is an honourable and diligent man! I was devastated about losing this ring, was positive about where I lost it and surprised that I couldn’t find it. When my daughter told me about Ringfinders, I called Norm right away and was surprised when he called me right back even though it was Friday evening. Was sad when he didn’t initially find the ring on Saturday. When he called today to say he had something for me, I was so surprised! My husband wasn’t surprised though, he felt it wasn’t in Norm’s nature to walk away. Having sat down and shared coffee and war stories with Norm, I can now see that my husband was correct. Thank you so much Norm, I am very grateful to you.

We found The Ring Finders on line and Norm... (2024)
He found it!
We were working in the garden and my husband Tony asked me to hang onto his ring and I lost it! (He will never do that again.)
We found The Ring Finders on line and Norm answered our call. He was able to find the ring in an hour. We are so grateful he had the tools and expertise to find it so quickly.
Thank you so much!

I’m telling all my friends about him! (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!

I would recommend Norm to anyone and everyone! (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!

Norm was prompt, professional and courteous. I have my ring back in my hand and I can’t thank him enough... (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!

I would recommend him 12/10! (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!

My wife and I are very happy with Norm’s service! (2021)
Norm was an awesome guy to work with! He was very professional and really went above and beyond to find my wedding ring. His determination and ingenuity in this search resulted in returning this very sentimental item to me by my second wedding anniversary! Would absolutely hire again and trust him with any search. My wife and I are very happy with Norm’s service!

He really saved the day, and I would recommend his services to anyone... (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!

I would recommend you to any and all who find themselves in a similar situation (2019)
Thanks Norm,
It was a real pleasure meeting you and watching you work. Very professional. The ring had little monetary but huge emotional value. Strange to say but 40 years of marriage was invested in that ring. Speaking with Norm after the find truly highlighted how dedicated, professional and empathetic you are in your work to help people. Loved your stories. I would recommend you to any and all who find themselves in a similar situation. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for helping Norm! (2017)
When I realized I lost my wedding band, I knew the general area, but no luck in finding it. When I contacted Norm, he was friendly, and more than happy to assist. He was very thorough and methodical on his search, and found it within 30 mins or less. You can tell Norm loves what he does, and loves helping people. If anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, I could not recommend Norm enough. Don’t hesitate, just give him a call or email!
Thank you so much for helping Norm!

Thank.you so much Norm! (2017)
YOU FOUND THEM!!
I called Norm to see if he could come.out to help find my two rings and he arrived about an hour later! And found them both. He found the larger ring within the first half hour, but the second ring was a bigger challenge.
The band is no thicker than a paper clip so to find it in the yard was truly finding a needle in a haystack! Norm scoured the yard. After about two hours I was ready to concede that maybe it was somewhere else but Norm persisted.
He was determined to find it for me! I went in the house to warm as it was a cold, windy day and Norm continued searchimg areas for a second time, when he heard the faint little sound from my dainty, thin ring.
There it was! Thank.you so much Norm! The slogan is “You lost it, we’ll find it” and Norm did not stop until he found both rings.
Call Norm because he WILL find it. So happy to have rings back!

Your tenacity is amazing! (2017)
Thanks Norm! I must say when Stan called you, I was not very hopeful. The article he had read in the Gazette a few months ago convinced him to give it a try. Knowing what I do now, I would recommend you to anyone.
Your tenacity is amazing! Despite the rainy windy weather, you continued to search long after I went inside, becoming more and more convinced that my ear ring had probably gone down the drain. I’m glad you decided to give it another try the next day. Thank you so much.

You are an amazing human being and an angel (2016)
Thank you so much Norm. You are an amazing human being and an angel to come out so late at night and helping find the impossible. If it weren’t for you I would have had to have the car taken apart. Thank you again so much!!! Words cannot express how grateful and relieved I feel. Thank you again!!
