Recently, I wrote a blog post for a local blog called Madison Mom’s Blog. They were gracious enough to allow me to be a Guest Contributor. The blog post covers how I got into Metal Detecting, becoming a Ring Finder and why I feel it’s so important to find a hobby to do with your kids.
Shawn was visiting his parents in Peachland B.C. for the Christmas holiday. We had a heavy snowfall the next day, so Shawn helped his parents move the snow from the backyard and the driveway. On the way home back to Vancouver driving on the mountain road, he had a panic attack when he realized he had lost his ring. The ring meant a lot to Shawn as it was his wedding ring, and his wife still lives in Thailand. When he arrived home his friend said to call The Ringfinders. I responded to his email and told him I would be there the next day. After checking the driveway, I moved out into the roadway and got a signal in the middle of the road. I scraped the snow with my boot and told his parents that I thought I saw a ring, on checking the kicked snow there was his 18k white gold wedding band. Mother was in tears and could not believe it, she immediately phoned her son with the good news. she told me I have have the most honourable job of anybody.
This ring was recovered and returned on 12-26-2015 from a creek in Clayton N.C..
I first talk to the guy who lost it yesterday on 12-25-2015.. He explained he was removing some wood and logs two days ago on 12-23-2015 when a log had snagged the ring on his finger and pulled the ring off causing it to fall into the creek.
I agreed to meet him at 10:00 AM today to help make the recovery. When I got there we spoke a few minutes and filled out some forms before the search began. He then took me to the place where he lost the ring and I began my search. Within 5 minutes I had found the ring in just a couple feet of water and it was about 6 inches down buried in the sand on the bottom. The reason the ring had got buried so fast was the past couple days we had a lot of rain and flood waters here in the area causing it to sink faster in the sand on the bottom..
I was very happy to help in the recovery and as you can see from the pics they were very happy to get it back..
Its always a pleasure when I can help others out in there recoveries..
If you have lost your ring or jewelry in the snow while scraping your vehicle off, Brushing snow off your pants, Snowball fight, Shoveling snow, Pulling your keys out of a pocket, Or some other activity year round……..
Give me a call 313-683-3082 and I will arrive at your location as soon as I can.

last night on 11/24/2015, I received a call from a nice gentleman who lost his ring while working outside on his home. After speaking to him and going over the details of how he lost the ring I agreed to meet him at his home to do the search on the next morning at 8:00 am on 11/25/2015. When I arrived at his home it was right at 8:00 am like we agreed on. He walked me though everything he had done up to losing the ring. He also explained that when he was done working he had went to the side of the house to rinse a bucket out he was using. He put his hand in the bucket that he had the ring on the stir the water and wash the dirty bucket out. Since the water was dirty and cold it would only make sense why he would think the ring would come off in the water. He explained that he dumped the water out on the side of the in the leaves. Well when I decided to begin my search I had my Regulator long range Electroscope and decided to use it first to check the areas. Instantly I got a signal with it when I was standing in front of the house while shooting it down toward the side of the house. After establishing the first line on bearing I change my angle and shot a new line of bearing while this time standing further out in front of the home so I could shoot across my first line to see where the strongest signal would cross. I got 3 hits across my first line of bearing, 2 of them was 2 weak to worry about but the Third one was very strong so I started my search there. The strongest was not on the side he thought the ring would be but instead was where he was working in the front. I grabbed my detector and sure enough I found the ring in the strongest area in less than two minutes. I was very happy to help him recover it fast. He was happy to have it back.

I was contacted by Matt regarding his wife’s lost necklace pendants-lockets in the front yard of their residence. Matt said, he and his wife Suzie were cleaning up after a tailgating event when her necklace was snagged by a portable canopy. Matt said the canopy they were unloading managed to catch her necklace breaking it and as a result the pendants fell into the grass.
Matt said Suzie knew the minute it happened and she managed to grab her necklace before it fell to the grass. Matt said her necklace had held three very important pendants-lockets. Matt said they were able to find one of the three pendants, but the other two were lost somewhere in the grass.
Matt said after some internet searching he located « The Ring Finders » and placed the call..

I was contacted by Jasmine regarding her lost engagement ring, she said her ring had been lost in front lawn at her home. Jasmine said she was getting married in two weeks, and was desperate and needed help finding her ring.
Jasmine advised her engagement ring had accidentally been dropped out the second floor window of her residence. Jasmine said her fiancé Anthony had been shaken out a dirty towel from the second story window unaware that her new engagement ring was in the towel.
Jasmine said she and Anthony had searched the lawn on their hand and knees but could not find her lost ring. Anthony said the following day he purchased a metal detector at Academy, but being unfamiliar with it’s operation he was again unsuccessful at finding the lost ring.
Jasmine said the next day she found The Ring Finders on the internet and placed the call!

I made the short trip over to Anthony and Jasmine’s residence this afternoon and was given a first hand account of how the ring was lost. The search area was relatively small and the recovery was quite quick. The smiles tell the story!

Lost Engagement Ring in Crosby, Texas (found) by John Volek
I was contacted by Amanda on 10-18-2015 regard ring her lost engagement ring in a field near some new home construction. Amanda said while she and her fiancé were out looking at some new homes in Crosby her new engagement ring must had fallen off her finger. Amanda said she and her fiancé had been searching for her lost ring for several days, but had no luck conducting a visual search of the area. Amanda said on the third day they purchased a new metal detector and spent several more hours hunting for her lost ring.
Amanda said they were pretty sure of the area where the ring was lost, describing it as a grassy area along side of a road. Amanda felt the ring had slipped of after they parked and exited their vehicle to look at the new homes.
I made arrangements to meet Amanda on Monday 10-19-2015 to search for her lost engagement ring in Crosby.
The search area was a grassy drainage ditch along side of the main roadway into the subdivision. Amanda said she was sure she had had the ring on her finger after exiting the vehicle. Unfortunately, even in this new subdivision the grassy ditch was littered with small aluminum targets, like every 12 inches. It was a really difficult and time consuming search, but we prevailed.

Kyle was installing fencing at a new home, and just for safety he put his 14k diamond wedding ring in his pocket so as not to lose it. On his way home he went to his pocket to put the ring back on, and it was missing. He checked out the W.W.W. found The Ringfinders, and gave me a call, I responded within 30 minutes and found the ring 2 inches deep in the dirt by a fencepost. His concern was that it could have been anywhere on site, or even in the concrete around the post`s. Another happy customer.
