Welcoming A New Ring Finder

  • from Kingston (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Hi folks, I wanted to take a quick minute to let people know that I have partnered up with a good friend, wicked ring finder, and all round good dude, Ryan Pugh.

Ryan Pugh

Ryan started detecting around the same time I did, (just a few short years ago) As we all know the learning curve to knowing one’s machine can be a daunting task. Many hours spent digging trash, & trying to understand what your machine is trying to tell you. We know it takes time to understand how to detect properly, efficiently, and professionally.

Now after a few years have gone by, both Ryan & I have the confidence in our abilities to help people find their lost items, and have done so successfully on several occasions.

Both Ryan & I have been detecting every chance we get when we are not working, or have family obligations (speaking from my personal experience of course), life can get very busy at times.

Over the past year (2023) I have taken Ryan on several of my ring finder expeditions. Considering we hunt fairly often together, which in turn has resulted in Ryan coming, and helping on several of my ring finder hunts.

Ryan expressed a real interest in helping people recover items they themselves had lost, & yet, could not find. He has expressed interest in joining The RingFinders all season.

Recently with working shift work, going back to school “for work”, running a local metal detecting club, taking care of my 2 year old son, & making time for my wife & family, I have found that although I have been able to attend most of the requests that have come my way, I find I have been calling on Ryan fairly often to help out with some of my recoveries.

Ryan has been outstanding, not only has he been willing and able to take on each request, he is always at the ready to drop what he’s doing to go help someone in need. And that’s not all, Ryan’s success rate is very high to date. I have called on Ryan to make sure our clients get the quick, reliable, & professional service they deserve.

Working as a team this past year has worked out not only to our benefit, but to our customers benefit as well. Therefore it only seemed logical to make it official and team up with Ryan here on The Ring Finders to ensure our areas get the best service possible for any potential future clients.

“Thanks Ryan Pugh, and I look forward to seeing how collaborating as a team will work out for us in our RingFinding adventures”, also, Welcome to the largest team of RingFinders on the planet.

Ice Diving For Crashed DJI Drone Lake Sacajawea Longview, WA

Issac called me requesting my assistance on recovering his crashed drone. He had just got a new DJI Air 3 drone and was enjoying some first flights over Lake Sacajawea. He had collected some nice video of the water fountain in the lake. After a short bit of time flying he shifted his focused to a small island when his flight quickly fell apart. His drone got to close to some tree branches causing the Air 3 drone to bob up and down in the sky as it tried to fly away it just got smacked by some thicker branches causing a total lost of control as it cartwheeled into the ice cold lake below. 

A very disappointed Issac and his friend attempted to try to search for the drone wading out into the ice cold lake with nothing more than a pair of sweat pants on. Issac admitted he didn’t last long in the freezing cold water and had to quickly get out. They even brought out a kayak breaking the thin layer of ice and tried looking for anything resembling the drone but they quickly discovered the visibility of the lake waters to be extremely poor. A hook and rope was purchased with efforts throwing the rig in the lake and dragging the line in hoping to snag the bird sadly ended up with no success.

As a very disappointing last chance effort Issac ran a Google search looking to “hire a diver” and landed on The Ring Finders directory. He quickly found the Seattle Ring Hunter and placed a call for help. 

Once we started our initial phone conversation I collected all the details I could and was encouraged to hear he had captured the last known GPS coordinate location from the DJI controller. This peaked my interest as I am always very curious to find out how close the GPS will get me to the lost target.

When Issac initially called me the temperatures were close to 18 F so I told him we would have to wait for slightly warmer weather however I assured him I would not forget his mission. It worked out that there was a slight break in the rain with a bit of warming temperatures towards the end of the week so we set a plan to reassess the conditions the night before. After a few days we reviewed our options and the green light was a go for operation “Crashed DJI Drone Lake Sacajawea Search and Recovery”. Issac also informed me that there was still some light snow on the grounds and thin ice on the lake. I still agreed to come down with the appropriate cold water dive gear.

Come along for another exciting search as the Seattle Ring Hunter battles the winter shenanigans of Jack Frost and the Winter Warlock.

Lost Wedding Ring Up Big Cottonwood Canyon- Found

Contact:

This was actually my last recovery of 2023. I received a call from a couple that was visiting from Florida. They were finalizing all their wedding plans and were preparing to fly back to Florida to get married on New Year’s Eve. They went up Big Cottonwood Canyon to take pictures when he realized his ring was missing. It was a beautiful silver ring with an opal stone.

We made plans to meet the following day to search the area where they had taken pictures. He provided me with some very good intel on possible areas to search. They were staying at a relative’s house about an hour away so I was able to get to the  location before they did and I quickly started to search. The snow was not deep and since silver is usually such a high tone, I quickly focused on signals in that range. In about 5 minutes, I had located the ring! They pulled up and I was able to surprise him with the ring! It’s always awesome to see the stress go away when presenting that lost item to someone. They sent me pictures of them getting married just a few days later! Congrats on a beautiful wedding! Check out the full adventure below!

In the middle of high season the SeattleRingHunter gets another call out for a dock dropped iPhone in Lake Union. As this was a dock drop midweek with a busy schedule I opted to take some of my special recovery tools to see if we could “fish” the iPhone 11 off the bottom of the lake without having to do a SCUBA recovery. SCUBA recovery is a labor intensive endeavor requiring a lot of gear to be loaded, transported, as a full cold water diver there is a fair bit of gear used during the search including labor efforts for the tare down after the dive, proper post dive maintenance and stowing of my gear back at my hide out. 

By picking the low hanging fruit first I can often times be more efficient on my recovery efforts. If a plan fails I gain some valuable knowledge on how to modify my process for the next go around. The reassuring comfort I carry is the fact that I have a fall back plan allowing me to offer a full underwater dive recovery effort as needed. 

Come along for another exciting classic water recovery as we go fishing for a dock dropped iPhone 11 in the lake!

Dock Drop Car Keys 30 Feet Deep Lake Union Seattle WA

SeattleRingHunter Lost Item Recovery Specialist LAND & SCUBA Call 206-618-8194 ASAP

Watch this video of SeattleRingHunter recover a set of car keys from thirty feet of water under a dock.

Aziz called asking for assistance in recovering his dropped car keys. He was in quite the situation as this was his only set of car keys and his car could not be moved from the down town public parking space until he got his keys back or an expensive replacement from the lock smith. Having experience with Lake Union and knowing first hand how deep many of the docks can be even when close to the shore I knew this mission could easily turn into a SCUBA dive recovery. However having many recovery tools on hand I always try to find the most efficient methods possible.

As a first attempt I meet Aziz with my magnet fishing and fishing camera kit to see if we could recover the keys without having to make a dive. With Aziz having lost the keys the night before and having him in person to point out exactly where the keys went into the water I was confident that we may have a strong possibility of recovery on our first attempt. However that being said recovering anything with a magnet fishing kit can take a lot of patients and skill. Most times it is extremely disappointing especially when using a magnet without any kind of underwater camera system. Working blind with a magnet on a rope is often times a huge wast of time. Even with a camera system and having developed some experience doing this quite a few times its never a guarantee and more than once has turned into a SCUBA dive recovery in the end. The encouraging thing is I have many options at my disposal giving me the highest rate of recovery for items lost in the water. Honestly we don’t get them all back but a very high percentage of items are recovered and it all starts with a phone conversation about your specific situation. To add to this challenge the keys dropped though the dock slats and landed on the bottom of the lake at thirty feet deep.

Come along for an exciting underwater classic water recovery as we get Aziz back on the road of life with a smile on his face.

Received another urgent phone call on September 8th,2023 to help find a very sentimental diamond ring. Ashleigh asked me about my charges or fees?? So I explained that I work on a reward basis meaning it’s entirely up to you. She sounded relieved about that especially that I could help her immediately. So I stopped what I had planned that second and burned gas to get the beach located in Carlsbad less than 20min to help her. Everything was wonderful,,I was able to recover the precious ring buried in the sand quickly. We celebrated,Took some photos,,They asked for my Venmo info for compensation which I sent just after to Mrs.s Yob but Never got a response back or at least a penny fuel for expenses. The END!

Watch the SeattleRingHunter recover a sunk 1969 Mercury Outboard engine from the depths of Lake Washington.

Mike called asking for assistance in recovering his lost 1969 Mercury 9.8 HP outboard engine. He was on his maiden voyage when it came loose from the transom and fell to the bottom of the Lake Washington. His recreational dive buddies attempted to locate the engine a day after the incident but were unable to locate it due to the overwhelming milfoil plant growth. Even after trying several of my suggestions it became a scheduled recovery many days later. We had an early start and showed up with everything but the kitchen sink. After trying several plans I eventually recovered the lost outboard with good old-fashioned determination using an expanding circle search fighting a massive amount of milfoil slowing the process down to a snails pace. However in the end we were successful and got Mike’s engine recovered from the lake.

Come along for an exciting underwater classic water recovery as we get Mikes outboard recovered back top side. Fortunately he had another friend that was on the ready to rehab the engine directly after the recovery for a full save! All in all a win for the environment and a win for Mike.

Cell phones in the Snow. Easy to lose, easy to find

  • from Cochrane (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Had a call from the father of a young man that had, in anger, thrown his phone out the car window. He spent six hours looking for it. No luck.  Before they called me, it snowed making it nearly impossible to find… unless you have a metal detector.  Using the Find Me app on their phone, they narrowed down the search area. When I arrived, it was only a matter of minutes.

Watch the video for details.
