Lost Wedding Ring Stanley Park Calgary

CTV Calgary                                      Published Thursday, Oct. 11, 2012 11:58AM MDT                            Last Updated Thursday, Oct. 11,  2012 7:37PM MDT

Losing a wedding ring is a sickening feeling for anyone that’s misplaced the  piece of sentimental jewelry.

A local metal detector specialist, known as ‘The Ringfinder’, is doing his  part to end the emotional pain.

Kevin Niefer has been metal detecting for the last 25 years.

In 2011, Niefer joined the Ring Finders Network, and is the group’s  representative here in Calgary.

Niefer says he’s been quite successful helping people find their lost  rings.

He’s currently helping Alicia Tropak locate her lost wedding ring.  She  misplaced her ring on September 23, 2012, somewhere near Stanley Park.

Tropak is expecting her first child at the end of the month, and says her  fingers swell sometimes.  She took her ring off, put it in her pocket, and  lost it somewhere along her walk.

Niefer is hopeful he can find the ring using his metal detector which has a  history of locating all kinds of hidden treasures.

“And that could be jewelry or old relics like pins or chauffeurs badges, or  coins,” says Niefer.  “You never know what you’re going to dig up, and when  you dig it up, it’s thrilling.”

“Or it might be a bottle cap.”

Niefer and Tropak were unable to find the ring on this day, but will return  to expand the search.

Lost Gold Wedding Band Recovered in Fuquay Varina , N.C. on 9/25/2012

  • from Hillsborough (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

On 9/24/2012 I received a call from a gentleman in Fuquay Varina N.C. about a lost wedding band that he had lost at a ball park while playing ball. After speaking to the gentleman I agreed to meet with him at the ball park where he lost his wedding band of 17 years. The next morning on 9/25/2012 I drove to the park to meet with the gentleman to help him locate his missing ring. The gentleman also advised me he had attempted to locate the ring himself but was unsuccessful . I then had him fill me in on the details of what happened when he lost the ring.  He had explained all the details to me and to the best of his knowledge , when he took off his ball glove the ring came off with it. He showed me the general area of where the ring came off and I attempted to do a grid search of the area. When this was unsuccessful I then went for my long range detector and widened my search area.  With the long range detector I was able to lock on two more possible targets just outside my previous search area. While digging the first target I found the ring about 3 inches down and about 10 feet outside the original search area. As you can see from the pictures he was very relieved and grateful to have his ring back . The whole search took just under an hour.

A lost TUNGSTEN WEDDING RING WITH 3 DIAMONDS was found west of Sundre, Alberta Canada by Kevin Niefer the TV METAL DETECTIVE.  They were up in the foothills where people go 4 wheel driving and ride on quads.  The Bride and Groom were having a mud fight for their wedding photos and the groom lost his ring in a large mud puddle.  Everyone in the wedding party tried looking for it.  The ring wasn’t found even after six people put in about six hours. They even rented their own metal detector with no luck. I was able to find it in 20 minutes.  This made two people very happy.  Now the groom was out of the doghouse and their lives full of wedded bliss could begin……..

Lost Tungsten Ring Found Fox Brook Park, Wisconsin

  • from Menomonee Falls (Wisconsin, United States)
Contact:

A family outing at Fox Brook Park, near Brookfield, Wisconsin, turned into an all-hands-on-deck search for a tungsten wedding band belonging to Steven Graetz. Despite the best efforts of friends, the ring eluded discovery in the shallow beach. I was out of the country at the time, but Steven still managed to locate me through The Ring Finder’s website and we made search arrangements soon after I returned.

Steve had a good feel for where he lost his ring, within a 400 square foot area. It was only after a 10-minute grid search the elusive ring evoked a distinctive bark on my Minelab Excalibur Detector. I let Steven extract the heavy love-token from my sieve, whereupon he promptly placed it back on his finger with an ear-to-ear grin on his face.

Steve, I enjoyed meeting you and your delightful family. And thanks for your generous reward. Mission accomplished!

Lost Ring, Found Ring, Returned Ring Cape Cod: Six Successes

  • from Cape Cod (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

All six rings were wedding bands: two were platinum; two were white gold; and two were yellow gold and all six rings were lost by vacationers near or in the waters of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

The first lost ring was found on a down hill slope heading toward a very wet marsh area with heavy over growth. It was thought the ring was in the marsh, a thought I did not want to pursue. Just as I was about to give up on the slope and put my boots on to go into the muck my ATPro locked onto the ring’s signal. Many Smiling Faces and words of praise added to the vacationer’s enjoyment.

The second call was from a swimmer who had lost his ring while playing football in the water only minutes after arriving on the Cape for a summer vacation. The vacation did have a rough start, but ended with Smiles.

Five days later a call to help search one of the Cape’s bay side beaches for a lost wedding band resulted in more Smiling Faces for another ball playing vacationer.

The next two rings were returned three days apart. Both calls for help came from a neighboring town’s lifeguard who had also aided in a ring’s return last year. One ring was found in the dry sand very near to a very deep hole a youngster had been digging. Had I been an hour later the ring may have found itself under 18 inches of sand and out of the range of my detector. The second call led me into the surf for another successful search. Both of these returns made for many Smiling Faces.

The sixth ring took a few days to find. It started when all I had to go on was street name near the beach were the ring had slipped off a finger; it was a long shot at best. Three days later I received a phone call from the owner who answered the pertinent questions that would help me focus on the ring’s location. Information that was essential was: location (water or dry sand), time of day, depth of bather at time of loss, and a description of the ring etc. Three hours later I was in the water again and it still took an hour before my Infinium sounded off indicating the ring’s location, retrieval and return to the owner sporting a now Smiling Face.

A word of wisdom I wish to pass along follows: when an object is lost in the water or dry sand the person should stay in the immediate area, have someone get a hand full of coins, bottle caps or pull tabs and mark the spot where the loss happened. Then contact a nearby detectorist to help in the recovery. One worldwide organization that has detectorists that can help is: www.TheRingFinders.com. Since becoming a member of TheRingFinders two years ago I have helped over 30 people that have lost an item. Another source for help could be any local metal detector dealer or club.
