I was driving to Spanish banks to look for a child’s two lost retainers on the beach and on my way I noticed something on the roadway that caught my eye. I pulled over right away and ran back and found a Coach wallet/ hand purse. It’s amazing to think that was in the middle of the road in a high traffic area and no one saw it. I went back to my car opened up the wallet and it was full of ID and credit cards, my first thought was this poor lady must be freaking out right now.  I saw a Washington state drivers license so I thought to myself this is going to be hard to find this person!

This isn’t the first time I found a wallet in the middle of a busy road and the last one the man put it on his car while he was pumping gas and forgot it was there, I kinda felt the same thing happened with this lady, she must’ve put it on her vehicle and drove away.

In the past I have lost my wallet a few times, one time with a lot of money and I never saw it again, so he/she must’ve needed it more than me. I noticed this lady was a practising lawyer in Vancouver and I reached out to a contact number that was found in her wallet, I left my contact info.

After meeting the lady at Spanish Banks in regards to the lost retainers and my unsuccessful search, I went back to my car and checked out the wallet I found. To my surprise I found a BC drivers license with an address, it was less than a mile from where I found the wallet. I drove to the address and knocked on the door and a lady greeted me and saw what I was holding and right away she told me that her daughter had lost her wallet and was on the phone with the bank…

I met her daughter and she told me the story that as she was putting her son into the car seat she had put the wallet on her vehicle and forgot, she also said how tired she had been from a lack of sleep raising her newborn, very much understandable!!

You can imagine her relief as I’m sure it would have taken a lot of time to get all that replaced…

How to find a lost ring

My day started out early as I rolled out of bed and sat in my office in front of my computer working on my directory. Out of nowhere I had this feeling to go to the beach and doing some detecting as the weather wasn’t as nice as it has been and I knew there wouldn’t be a lot of people out, so I packed up my detector and headed for the beach. I wasn’t sure which beach to search, normally a drive to the beach where ever my car takes me. That day it took me to Spanish Banks Beach and it turned out to be a good choice!

It was pretty slow going and as I turn a corner of the beach I saw someone detecting, at first I thought this person knows what they’re doing the swings were low to the ground but I noticed they didn’t have a sand scoop so my thought was maybe someone bought a metal detector and was just having a bit of fun or maybe they had lost something and they were looking for it.

Well it turned out they did lose something and the young man came over to ask for a bit of help, I told him they were in good hands and that I had a company called  »TheRingFinders » after asking many questions I started my grid search in the area where they thought the ring was lost. I search the area and kept expanding the grid for hours and over 20,000 steps (10 miles) and much much closer to the beach I was able to spot Nemos ring in the muddy sand. This beach it’s very common that rings will stay up a couple days or more before they start to bury down in the sand because of the hard pack.

You can imagine the relief when I was able to surprise them with that beautiful ring. It was a very long search and unfortunately when people do not know exactly where they could’ve lost it it just becomes a game of inches and you have to go over that inch…

Lost Ring Stanley Park, Vancouver… Found!

I received a phone call today from a young man from California who was visiting Stanley Park, 3rd Beach. It was a very hot day so he decided to take a dunk, because of a past experience, losing his wedding ring in the ocean on the day he was married in Florida, he took off his wedding band and put it in his shirt pocket to keep it safe. It’s amazing how many times people are protecting their ring and doing the right thing but sadly they loose the ring. It happens more than you know… While he was looking for his ring a couple of people joined the search and one told him to go up top of the stairs and find the phone number for TheRingFinders.

He did and because of these nice people on the beach this young man has his ring back!  The search took 10 minutes so it wasn’t too painful for him.

His smile says it all…

This is not your typical search as a matter of fact it was just luck that I found a wallet on the ground with close to $500 in cash. My first thought was this poor person, my second thought was looking inside and finding a few bank cards and noticing his bank was right across the walkway. I went in and gave them his bank card and told them the situation that I had found a wallet with a lot of cash and asked if they could find this person from his bank card. They were able to locate him and get his name but the number associated to the account was not working. Understandably they did not give me any information about this person but they took my information just in case they were able to get a hold of him.

Within four minutes I received a call from the bank telling me that the owner had showed up at the bank looking for his wallet. I headed out there and met him and was able to give him back his wallet. He told me that this was an advance from his work to pay for emergency surgery for his dog… I was so happy I was able to locate this man with the help of TD Bank… Thank you!

You can only imagine how he must’ve felt when he knew he lost it, also his wallet had been sitting there for close to 40 minutes without anybody spotting it… Amazing! I guess it was meant for me to find and return it.

I got a call from a young man who needed help searching his parents yard for his lost wedding band, sadly he lost his ring the day he got married, at the reception in his parents backyard. His friend came over the next day to help search for two hours with a metal detector, but no luck. After asking my questions I decided to head out the next morning to Abbotsford which is over an hour drive to help this young man find his wedding band. He was working that day so I met his mother and she showed me the area where he was in the yard which is pretty much the whole backyard, I set up my gridlines and began to search, it was a hot day and after an hour I found his beautiful gold wedding band that was on his hand less than a half a day.

I gotta say I get just excited to find what I’m looking for as the person I find it for, I can understand how painful that must’ve been losing something so sentimental that was just giving to you that day from a person you’re gonna spend the rest your life with that you love very much.

It was an honour to be able to help continue that story for him, as his story was just beginning! I have to say he was not the first and he will not be the last to lose his ring on his wedding day.

Congratulations to to you and your bride may you have a very long and healthy & happy life together!

Lost My Rings at Crescent Beach

Couple weeks ago I got a text message from a young man stating that he lost two rings at Crescent Beach and asking if I could help? I replied right away with no response and called as well but didn’t hear from him till the next morning. Time is crucial on searches like this as we all know so many people are detecting beaches now that you have to respond quickly.

I talked to brown on the phone he told me the story about losing two rings wasn’t quite sure but felt it was somewhere on the beach from where he sat at the time he went into the water, after talking a bit longer I realized that he lost him over a week ago. He stated that there was a good chance it could’ve been by the log where he was sitting but it was 100% sure, we all know people hunt around the logs more than any other places on the beach because they know this is a great place for rings to be found.

Bryan could not meet me there but Google Earth me the location and when I got to the beach I FaceTime with him and we decided that where I was was the right location, it only took a few minutes before I found his first ring and then right beside it was the second ring. I got to tell you he was one happy camper! Even though these rings were not made of precious metal is sentimental value is off the scales!

Friday night was a busy night for me as I had three searches scheduled starting approximately 9:00 PM one was in White Rock but just before I got there they found the ring and canceled. The second was at Jericho Beach,  it was for a young man who lost his grandfather signet ring that was gifted to him. He believed he lost it in the area where they were sitting as he took it off and put it into a bag and later could not find the ring. I spent close to three hours searching for this ring with no success, as I was getting into my car I got a text message that he found it in the bag at home. It happens more than you know where I’m going to search for something that wasn’t there but that’s OK the main thing was he found his ring.

My next search was at 2 AM at Kits Beach, this search was for a white gold wedding band that was lost when he took it off to keep it safe and put it in the shirt forgot after his swim and picked up the shirt and walked away. They gave me a good description of the area I came in and did my great search and found the ring in lesson 45 minutes. The kicker was his second year anniversary was in less than 48 hours so you can imagine how important this was to get that ring  back to him ASAP. Also note this was a John Cryer effect, two years ago I found that actors ring and still people remember the story… Amazing!

Lost Rings Hayward Lake In Mission… Found

I received a call from a young lady who had lost her diamond engagement ring and her diamond wedding band but the only thing was she did not know where she lost them. This is when you have to ask a lot of questions to narrow down the search area, one thing that stuck in my mind was she was at the lake in Mission but did not remember ever taking her rings off. She went on to talk about watching her kids and her friends kids while she was at the lake, I asked her if she put on suntan lotion and she said yes, on her kids and herself. In my experience it’s very common when mothers are at the beach looking after kids and that’s all they think about, so I wanted to go and search the area she was sitting on the beach. The kicker was the rings had been lost for almost one week, the good thing was at this particular lake they do not permit people to detect there without permission.

We got the permission and headed down to the lake with high hopes but also realistic to the fact that these rings could’ve been lost in several different places, this would be a closure search so she could rest assure it wasn’t there and start the search in other places around her house maybe her vehicle. These rings meant absolutely the world to this young lady and after talking to her for a few minutes I could tell how bad she felt and how she also came to the realization that she may never see these rings again.

She took me to the area she was sitting at and within only a few minutes I found the first ring! I gotta tell you I’m as excited as the person I find it for, I absolutely love what I do and how it affects peoples lives in such a beautiful and positive way. The second ring was only a few feet away and the day was a success! It took an hour and a half to get there and less than three minutes to find her smile!

Metal Detecting Service in Wonnock Lake, Maple Ridge

I have the best job in the world, I love helping people more than anything I’ve ever done in my lifetime. I get to make people smile, I get to hear their stories of what their ring means to them, and I get to see how happy they are when I find it…

It was late in the evening when I received a phone call from a young man who told me he lost a very expensive, very sentimental, and very large gold chain off the dock at Wonnock lake in Maple Ridge. I was heading to another search in Vancouver when he called, after hearing his story and the fact that he was going to sleep on the dock until morning to make sure nobody came back to get it, I knew I had to act fast.

I do not dive and I really don’t know many people who do in Vancouver that can use a metal detector underwater so this got me thinking I had to go and grab some treble Hooks and Jimmy rig some way to try to hook it under the water as I knew it was gonna be over my head and it was 7 1/2 – 8 feet of water.

The fact that some people knew he had lost it that day made us all little nervous I got there 7 AM in the morning and there was three people fishing off the dock, I set up and started my search with the hook in line but after three hours I knew I had to find a diver for this young man. Not long ago I had a phone call from someone who was looking for help to find a lost ring in 15 feet of water, after talking to him I decided to lend him my underwater equipment as I do not dive.

Sadly he did not find the ring, but he said anytime you need help looking for something call me, this stuck out in my mind as I was thinking of who I could find to help, my first thought was my member in Kamloops but he’s hard to get a hold of so I reached out to this young man.

Surprisingly he rearranged his whole day to come out and help us and he was the reason this young man’s got his beautiful custom made gold chain back. The great thing was, Stan who found it, got to experience what I experience all the time and that is the excitement and joy of returning something back to someone and seeing how it affects their lives.

You see this chain was made up of gold from this young man’s brother, uncle and grandfather, who sadly had all passed away. You can never get something like that back even if it was insured which I believe it wasn’t. It was so nice to see how happy Justin was when he saw his chain again for the first time in over 14 hours. It was equally exciting to see how happy it made Stan to return it back to him. Win-win for everyone!

Thank you very much Stan for making this a very happy day for Justin and one I’m sure he will remember for a very long time! Stan in the blue sh

I was told in Chinese culture a lost wedding ring before the person gets married is bad luck, but not if it’s found! I was called out by a couple who lost a ring the night before, I met with them at the beach and they show me the approximate location it was lost. After asking my typical questions I began my search and within 10 minutes found a beautiful golden diamond ring. If in their culture a lost ring is bad luck then a found ring must be good luck… I was so happy to be able to find her ring for them and see the smiles on their face even though his wife was wearing a mask I could tell there was a big smile underneath that mask.

On a sidenote just minutes after I found a ring a metal detectors came walking on the beach in the same direction where I found the ring. Timing in life is everything, I’m so happy the timing worked out today!
