John Silling, Author at The Ring Finders

June 2023. I received a call late on a Friday afternoon from a gentleman living in far west Saint John’s county saying that he had lost a very sentimental ring while cutting down some Oak tree branches on his property.  So, I made plans to drive out to him first thing Saturday morning to find the ring.  

I arrived at his home, and he points out the area where he lost the ring trimming some trees.  After about an hour I have his ring and he is very happy to get it back as it had great semimetal meaning to him from his military service.

October 2024. Saturday mid-morning I get a call from a woman whose daughter just lost her engagement ring on a baseball field. Her daughter was practicing with her brother somewhere on the baseball field. They had been raking the red clay since she had lost the ring with no luck. 

 When I arrived, the mother greeted me and pointed out where her daughter was on the ballfield mostly out on the right field catching fly balls but also ran the bases a few times. I worked the outfield with no luck; I then moved to the red clay where behind 2nd base I found the ring. Both Mother and daughter started to scream, and shout followed by a river of tears as they said they thought the ring was gone forever.

November 2024. The morning after Thanksgiving 2024 I got a call from a man saying he, his kids and the neighborhood kids were playing basked ball in his driveway after Thanksgiving dinner. Shooting a basket, off flew his wedding band into the grass, he told me they had looked for the ring for over an hour with no luck.  

I started to detect about 3 feet from the area they had searched figuring I would make an overlap pattern wider then where they had searched. A couple of swings later there was his wedding band.
