This search was a cliff hanger to say the least! It started with a text message from Dave who said he saw me on Youtube and his friends could use my help in finding a lost ring.  He told me the ring fell between the cracks of the deck they were standing on…Sounds good to me, how hard could it be, right?

This was one of the hardest searches I’ve ever done and thankfully Bob knew how to set up the ropes and secure me, so that I could safely search for the lost ring.

Here’s the story of the ring…Bob’s wife Miki is a goldsmith and she just finished making a custom set of 18k white gold wedding bands that she was sending to Japan to a young couple that were getting married soon.

Miki was taking pictures of the ring when one ring decided to make a run for the hills! It fell between the cracks of the deck and hit a rock below and bounced towards the water! Bob & Miki searched for 10 hours that day for the ring and sadly they had no luck finding it.

This is when I come into the search, the next day I arrive and they show me the area they had searched. I knew from pictures that they had sent me the night before it was a rough terrain so my wife told me to take my rope and harness.

Bob already had the rope set up so I put the harness on and went to work! 4 1/2 hours later and after a great lunch Bob’s mom made us, I was able to surprise everyone with the ring!!!

I told Bob could you bring me up on the rope I have to go to the bathroom and then I asked Miki if I could see her other ring as I wanted to test it with my detector again…Then I said thanks and put both rings in her hand…Surprise!!!

Midnight gold…I work long hours and I will go out after work when someone needs help to find their lost ring. The last little while we’ve had a blast of snow here and that makes for some calls for help.

I was at work and I got a call for help so I arranged a late meeting to go search for a lost ring and told the person it would be close to 1 am before I could make it out to him and he said lets do it.

Well a few minutes later I got another call and that person lost his ring and the kicker was he was located only 10 minutes from where I was working. Good thing I had a detector with me because it was a 40 minute drive back to my pace to grab one. When we get snow I carry one with me for this reason.

I got off work and headed out to Dave’s place and we met at 12am and he showed me the area I needed to search and it was huge! My first thought was this will take me hours. We discussed the search area and I asked Dave were he wanted to start and he said he had a feeling that it may have come off in this one location, so I said lets check it out.

10 minutes later and his ring was back where it belonged!

Today I went out to find a lost white gold wedding band for a young man who lost it by wiping snow off his pants.

He showed me the area and after 2 minutes or so I was able to find it for him. He was very happy and a little surprised at were I found his ring.

It wasn’t where he thought it would be but like most searches they never are found where you think it should be. It was in the opposite direction of where he thought it landed.

Christmas Eve day started out with a phone call from a young man who lost his cell phone while shovelling snow at his rental house in Port Moody.

He goes on to tell me that he thinks the phone was lost there and wanted me to search the area. I agreed and he sent me the location via google earth and I was on my way.

When I got there I searched the front yard then I searched the back yard and moments later I found his lost phone in around 4 inches of snow. It looked like the phone was in good condition and because it was frozen there was little water.

 

 

Then as I was packing up I got a text message about a lost ring and if i could help. I called the young man and he lost his ring the night before when he slipped on ice and his ring went flying. He searched that night but couldn’t find it.

It wasn’t far from were I was located so I headed out to help him. He was still at work and wouldn’t be able to be there to show me the area where he lost his ring so I asked if he could google earth me the location.

Amazing with the technology we have now to help us locate the area, it was a good thing I got there when I did, because after 20 minutes of grid searching I found the ring behind me on the road! It was bent a bit from being run over but it could be fixed. The lucky part for him was that the ring didn’t get stuck in the tread of someones snow tires and driven away.

Like may before him this young man didn’t tell his wife that he lost his ring, I’m sure he didn’t want to be in the doghouse on Christmas day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love what I do and I’ll help people every day and any day of the year until I die.

Yesterday I received an email from a young lady that said her husband had lost his carbon tungsten wedding band the night before while throwing snow at his daughter. She said she found me because of a Facebook post she did in regards to her husband losing his ring. A group of mom’s told her to check out TheRingFinders.com

This email came just before I was to do a podcast for fascinatingnouns.com in regards to my service and TheRingFinders.com

I called the lady back and set up a time for the afternoon to come out and find the ring.

We just had some snow fall in the Vancouver area and the night before I found a set of keys for a person who was shovelling snow in his driveway.

I can be just as busy in the winter as I am in the summer as snow is wet and cold and peoples fingers shrink and rings come off.

After the podcast was done I jumped into my car and set out to Richmond to do the search. I met with Kirsten and she showed me the area where the ring was lost, then I started the search.

After 20 minutes and no ring Kirsten came back out and told me that her daughter said that they were much closer to the car.

I stared scraping the snow away from the vehicle so I was able to use my metal detector as anything close to the car would set the detector off. I got a great signal and moments later I had the ring!

I also went on another search for a young lady at UBC, but no luck on that one as she didn’t know where the ring had come off her finger.

It’s what I call a closure search as I just searched an area of grass where my metal detector could be used, now she can move forward and start looking at other places where it could be like the coffee shop or her dorm room.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love this job and I hope one day soon TheRingFinders will be a household name for helping people find what they thought was lost forever.

It was a rainy day and I got a call to search for a lost ring in a garden in Lynn Valley, North Vancouver. I love these calls and rain or snow wouldn’t stop me from searching!

The young lady was certain the ring was some where in the garden because she took it off and put it in her jacket pocket along with her glasses.

She found the glasses in the garden but no ring, I started by searching the bags of garden trimmings but no luck. I then began to search the garden area and still no luck, I asked more question and she told me that she spent an hour in the garden shed.

Bing! That was the one place we hadn’t checked and after searching the whole shed the very last plastic planter I got a great signal with my pin pointer.

There it was in the bottom of the plastic planter…it was a nice relief to see it there as we were running out of options! Its funny where rings can show up and if it didn’t it may have been there a very long time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I sure love my job! Meeting such lovely people and seeing their smiles!

I got a call from a young man Friday evening and the call kinda went like this…I found you on TheRingFinders.com and my friend lost his wedding band while taking wedding photo’s at a river in South Surrey…Do you think you can help?

I said sure thing and we discussed the time and day we’d go look for it. I was hoping we could take a look on Saturday but they would still be celebrating their big day.

That was good because I had a search for a 3 carat diamond ring that was dropped out of an apartment building 44 floors up ($5000 reward) unfortunately there was only about a 5% chance of finding that ring because it was a concrete jungle all around the area it was dropped.

I met up this afternoon with Sunny and his friend Sandy and they showed me where the ring was lost…I was surprised to see that it was lost off a dock! I thought it was close to the shore. Fortunately the tide was low and I was able to get into the water very close to the ring.

I received a good signal 6 feet or so under the dock and it was hard to try and dig the target so what I did was scoop towards me and after 10 minutes I found his beautiful ring!!!

I told him I was going to get out of the water and get another metal detector from my car,  but instead I presented him with his ring! I love the reactions!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wish I could do this all day long and help others who need this service!!

 

Thanks for watching!
