Summer is over now and it was a successful one! I had many calls and found more rings this year then any other year. Now that the fall is here I look forward to the garden searches & snow hunts, so many ways people can lose their rings.
If you or anyone you know has lost a ring recently or many years ago, please contact me and I’d be happy to help you find what you thought was lost forever!
I love my job!

Today I had a search for a lady who lost both of her wedding rings at White Rock Beach. After talking with Ali on the phone I knew the chances of finding her rings were slim due to the fact that it was likely lost on the short grass where she and her family were sitting, making the rings easy to spot.
She had taken them off to put suntan lotion on her kids and put them on the towel she was sitting on, after a while it was time to go and she got up and her son picked up the towel and they left for home.
After around a half hour she realized what had happen and raced back to where they had been sitting to look for her rings…No luck, they were no where to be found. Franticly searching for her rings strangers stopped and helped her look but no one found them.
When I arrived the next day and met Ali and her sister they showed me the spot, I searched the grass and then the small bush area but no luck.
I brought a towel and a couple of rings of no value but ones I would use to do a test with and placed the rings on the towel and asked Ali to pick up the towel like her son would have done. This showed us that the rings didn’t travel far at all and ended up on the grass close to the towel. This would have been very easy for someone to spot.
I believe there are good people in this world still and the person who found the rings is looking for the owner… If you found the rings here is Ali’s contact number… 604-870-8825
I hope your rings find you Ali.
What would you do to find your lost diamond ring? This lady and her husband cut down some small trees and bushes then they weeded the area and searched on their hands and knees for hours on the side of their yard where they believed the ring was lost.
The next day they were talking to friends that said they should rent a metal detector so they found one to rent and searched for hours. Unfortunately they had no luck in finding the marquee diamond engagement ring.
After giving up and believing that they’d never see the ring again, the lady reads a story about my service »Finders » in a local paper.
With nothing to lose they call me and tell me about the lost ring.
I’m excited to come out and take a look for the ring, I can tell this gives them a glimmer of hope. When I get there we discuss the area and we talk about the search they did for the ring.
I decide to check the front yard first but they tell me that there’s no way the ring is lost on the front yard. I told them that I wanted to get it out of the way before going into the area that they just searched for two days.
This turns out to be a good call as I find the ring in about 3 minutes…Some times it pays off to follow your gut feeling! They were amazed at how fast I found the ring and where I found it.
Luck some times comes into play and it makes up for the rings that take many hours to find.
Again the smile tells you the story…
I love my job!

This ring search was for a young lady who lost the white gold diamond ring that was given to her by her late Grandmother.
While cleaning her balcony she threw a few things down to the ground below to pick up and throw away later. This is when she felt her ring come off and land some where in the grass below.
I listened to her story and it was pretty cut and dry in my mind that the ring would be in the grass close to the items that she threw to the ground.
I started my grid search in this relatively small area of her back yard and after 1 hour and no ring I had to re-think the situation. This should be easy I thought to myself… but why haven’t I found it?
My only thought was that the ring flew over the fence and landed in the neighbors yard, when I suggested we ask her neighbor if we could search her back yard for the ring, she didn’t think it was possible that it ended up there, but she agreed.
After a short time in the neighbors yard the ring was found and the smile was in full view!
« Flick Factor » I believe we never stop learning and life is exciting with the possibilities that await us in every challenge we meet.

My son was out camping with a few friends at Harrison Hot Springs and a girl he went to school with lost her diamond engagement ring at the lake.
She tells me that she put the ring on her towel while she was sun tanning and when she woke up from a short sleep, she got up and shook the towel.
My son, the young lady and her fiancé, searched and searched for her ring, then it hit my son! I know someone who can help! He called and explained the situation and I was on my way to find her ring.
When I showed up they put me the area that the ring was lost in and I started to search. After 10 minutes I knew that the ring was to deep due to the fact that they were digging around for hours searching for it.
I cut back the sand and pebbles and after 10 minutes I found her beautiful diamond ring, needless to say her and her fiancé were very happy.
I love my job!

On a nice summers evening I get a call from a young lady who lost her diamond engagement ring at Spanish Banks while relaxing in the water.
She was recently engaged and lived out of town, she was here to spend some time with her family and show off her diamond ring.
The ring didn’t fit perfectly and while she was in the water it slipped off her finger to the sand below. Devastated, she and her parents searched in waste deep water, but there was no chance in finding the ring.
As they were leaving the beach her father thought of telling the lifeguard about the lost ring encase someone might find it at low tide the next day.
This was a good thing as the lifeguard gave them my flyer, I showed up at the beach the next morning at low tide and her and her family were there to greet me.
I listened to her story and where she believed her ring was lost, she based the location to the area where the floating dock was beached.
I started my grid search and after close to 2 1/2 hours I had no ring, I could tell that she was were getting worried. I sat down and talked to her about the location once again and she said I was in the right area as she lined up the lost ring with the floating dock.
Then it hit me, the floating dock had close to a 30 yard chain on it to keep it in place. This changes everything as the high tide location would have been 30 yards further out.
I start my new grid search and after 1 hour I found her beautiful diamond ring. The smile tells you the rest!

I got mad at my spouse and threw my wedding ring away…Help!!!
Has this ever happened to you?
When some couples argue, in the heat of the moment they get mad and throw their wedding ring, most make up and then feel horrible afterwards.
I have received a hand full of these calls for help from both men & women, and I’m happy to say that I found everyone’s ring.
I’ve found rings that were tossed out car windows into bushes, peoples yards, beaches, lakes ext. It doesn’t matter how many years the ring has been lost for if its on your property or places people wouldn’t be searching with a metal detector…It still can be found!
If this has happened to you and you never found your ring, give me a call.
Tip of the day: If you get mad at your spouse and the thought of tossing your ring comes to mind, try this…
Take a coin out of your pocket and switch it with the ring… When the storm blows over and you make up… You’re down a coin but you still have your ring!

This video is by Jason Krowe for »Living Vancouver » its about my Jewellery Recovery Service »Finders » here in Vancouver, BC
The hardest part of my job is getting people to know that it exists… If »Finders » was a household name I believe I’d be doing this full time…And loving every minute of it!
There are so many people that could use this service, the only problem is I’d have to be a millionaire in order to advertise so that the public are aware of my »Finders » company.
My next goal is to look for corporate sponsorship…Jim Pattison???
