We got a call to go find a lady’s silver ring that flew off her hand while swatting at a insect in her yard. It was a small area to look so it was an easy recovery. Found with our pin pointer in the center of some pampas grass and had worked its way all the way to the bottom of the plant. 🙂
Liam lost his ring while in the river with his bachelor party buddies. It took three tries but we got. Watch the video for the full story.
Sometimes we can’t use the metal detector but we have other ways. Watch the video for an explanation.
Farrah lost her Tiffany Ring while playing fetch with her dog. It was highly sentimental and a special gift to herself. Watch the video for the full story and a priceless reaction.

Brendan was enjoying a sunny day at the beach, his 39th year in doing so, when his wedding band slipped from his finger. After failing to find the ring he reported the loss to the gate guard who gave him my card, name and number. A text to me followed. Brendan’s was one of two requests I received within 30 minutes. I answered both with the same: first to respond will have their choice of day for me to help.
Brendan was the second one, Thursday would be the day set for the search. Detecting partner Leighton was off from work both days and we both would be helping search for the lost ring. We met Brendan on the parking lot, exchanged a few words dawned our gear, and headed to the water stopping to meet Brendan’s wife and 3 sons. Then as usual we had Brendan enter the water and stand just where he remembered loosing his ring. We started searching parallel to the beach from where Brendan was standing toward the beach and I to deeper water. About 20 feet from Brendan, Leighton dug his first signal and there was the platinum ring we were in search of.
A very joyful Brendan wanted to pull the ring from the scoop only to be told “wait”. The three of us headed to Chrissy and their 3 curious children. In the presence of everyone, Brendan retrieved the ring and put it back on his finger. Congratulations, pictures and exchange of info followed. For Leighton and myself, we were off to another beach to search for a missing engagement ring.

Any chance you are available for a search? Was one of two requests I received within 30 minutes. I answered both with the same: first to respond will have their choice of day for me to help.
The days and times are: Wednesday 11am-2pm or Thursday noon to 6pm for low tide and the ability to search in the water. Let me know if either works for you… The reply was that “Wednesday works for us! Hannah & Jamin”.
Detecting partner Leighton was off from work and we both would be helping search for the lost ring.
All four of us met up in the parking lot. Leighton and I with our detecting gear, Jamin with fishing gear and Hannah ready to supervise and perhaps take a swim. As usual we started by looking for the pile shells marking the beach were they were a few days ago. Well the tides have spread the pile so we started detecting an area suggested by Jamin. A few minutes later Hannah signals us she had found the pile of shells. OK, we moved the search over to an area 50 or so feet along the beach. After a bit of searching the width of the search area widened and to everyone’s amazement the is found closer to the original area where we started searching. Memory is a wonderful thing and it is good, but a physical marking is better. That is why we suggest dropping a few metal objects where a ring or other object is lost. With a few targets to look for we would know that we were in the correct area.
A few photos for the book of smiles, a bit of story telling as each story has it’s own lesson to be learned and then the ThankYou and now the fishing was going to start as Leighton and I left to look for another lost ring. I don’t know how the fishing endeavor ended, but I do know Jamin with a bit of luck did hook onto two metal detectorists that are always willing to help and that made the day a day to remember.

I can not count the times I have heard the words “I lost a ring of emotional significance yesterday.” and ”Thank you again so much Rick! It was great to meet you and so magical that you found the ring…!
Those words along with many others are why I enjoy my hobby so much.
Sarah was enjoying the art of teasing the incoming waves as they swept the slope of on of Cape Cod’s many fabulous beaches. The thrill was shortened when a ring slipped off her finger and beneath the beach’s sand.
Back at her grandfather’s home she searched the web for ways to find a lost ring. Her search was answered when she came across TheRingFinders.com article. She followed the link and contacted me. Of course I would search for the ring at the next day’s low tide.
With no other option on where to park, I parked in front of grandfather’s home. Sarah was right there as I exited the car. A short conversation was followed by a quick walk to the beach where Sarah showed me “where” the ring was lost. With that information I started my search pattern at the water’s edge working my way up the slope of the beach. Nothing! Maybe it is in the water, time to get wet. Four passes and nothing again. Enter Baron…”I’m pretty sure you should be looking over here.” That was some 20 feet away from the area I had been searching.
As I was in the water I worked my way up the beach going toward the dry sand. I was almost out of the water when my first signal proved to be a pull tab. Three swings later another, larger signal, I had to dig it. Yes, this one was the ring.
You can use your imagination on the excitement and joy that followed, not only by Sarah and Baron, but all those on the beach that had been watching me. Some had no idea what I was doing until they saw and heard the emotions shown by Sarah. That is my “reward” for enjoying my hobby, what could be better? Certainly not hitting a small white ball, chasing it so you can hit it again then watching it splash into a water hole and disappearing out of sight.
Next, of course, would be words of thanks, pictures, a few stories, and ways to wear a ring to the beach with no fear of having it slip off one’s finger.
Amber found my number on The Ringfinders web page. She had lost her engagement ring on Cocoa Beach after dark. She met me at sunrise and I hunted the search area. I was able to find her ring. Another happy ending thanks to The Ringfinders!!
Evan and his colleague were absolutely amazing and I cannot thank them enough for going above and beyond to find my lost ring!
I lost my wedding band just off the shore of the Bow River. A friend I was with googled “Calgary Ring Finders” and called Evan who was able to come to help search for it with his friend. I was amazed by how quickly they arrived and was immediately struck by Evan’s professionalism and genuine concern about finding my lost ring. After searching for about two hours, they were able to confirm that the ring was not on land and that it was likely deeper in the water where I took a dip. Although we ended up not finding it the first day, the good news is that these guys are persistent!
Evan returned to the site a couple days later with some additional tools including a custom viewer that he had made to look underwater. We didn’t find it this day either, but Evan was filled with positivity and kept encouraging me to not give up hope, mentioning that he would be monitoring the river level so that we could search again more thoroughly after the water level dropped. I had to leave town shortly after on vacation, so we made plans to search again when I returned, and they would keep looking while I was gone.
On my third vacation day, I received a text that another custom viewing tool had been made and it appeared that a ring was there! Shortly after, I was texted a photo of of my ring in the palm of his hand! I was ecstatic and it was the best way to continue on with the rest of my vacation. My friends who I was with the day I lost my ring were awestruck by how the ring was found and how persevering these guys are!
My ring was kept safe and sound until I returned to Calgary. These guys are truly amazing and trustworthy people. They were so pleased to see how thrilled I was when I was reunited with my ring. I cannot recommend Evan’s services enough and would urge anyone who’s in need to give the Calgary Ring Finder a call right away – I can’t speak positively enough about them!
Thanks so much again from the bottom of my heart!
Christopher had Friends visiting from out of town! They took a boat ride to Wards Island to grab something to eat! Wards Island is in the heart of the city in Toronto Harbour in downtown Toronto!
Christopher’s hat blew off and his Friend’s coaxed him to jump in after it.
Unfortunately, Christopher’s 28” pure gold rope chain was a gift from his Uncle came off his neck and sunk to the bottom of the Harbour.
Three weeks later, Christopher contacted me and we headed over to the island in one of the cutest island water taxis!
All set up with the Dive BLU3 NOMAD and my incredible Minelab Manticore underwater metal detector we started a grid search.
Not long after, the Manticore sounded off for the sweet tone of gold as the chain was 2” deep!
Christoper was so thrilled to receive his sentimental gifted gold chain back!
Thank you Christopher for your extremely generous donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation! I truly feel valued!
