Lost Woman’s Diamond Engagement Ring in Lancaster, OH “FOUND”.
I received a call from a guy on New Years Day about a lost White Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring. The ring was lost in the snow during the night before. I showed up a couple of hours later to search for the missing engagement ring. After asking more questions, I found out that the ring was thrown. I searched in the freezing temperatures in 3 inches of snow for a hour and a half with no luck.
A week later he wanted me to come back out and try again. Since the snow was mostly gone and more grass was visible. About a hour later of searching there was the ring laying on the grass beside the melting snow. I am very happy that the ring was found. He recently bought the ring for her and I wish them a happy engagement.

Lost Knife in Dallas,Tx Found
We received an email from a very nice lady stating that her husband’s small pocket knife was lost in their yard. We thought it was a little unusual to get a call on a knife but we are always excited to help people . As we talked further we found out that the family had gone out and cut down 2 Christmas Trees this year and had strapped them to the top of the family SUV. Upon arriving at home the father had pulled out his very special 3″ knife that his wife had given to him as a gift on their wedding day. He used it to cut the rope holding the Christmas Trees to the SUV and then gave it to his oldest 10yr old daughter Ally to cut the other side. She cut the rope and put the knife in her top pocket of her jacket and helped her dad and sisters drag the 2 trees into the house. After getting the trees inside, she realize the knife was no longer in her pocket. After 3 days of searching the 3″ thick grass cover in large leaves they had nearly given up. 10yr old Ally was heart broken at losing her daddy’s special knife.
Ally’s mom got on the internet and found our « The Ring Finders » website . She called and my wife and I set a time come by. Upon arriving at their home we had a roughly 80ft by 40ft area of thick grass and leaves. We got out our equipment and I began the search. My wife’s ACE250 was acting funny and she decided to just let me hunt. She had her pinpointer with her while talking to the customer. As you can imagine at every beep our detectors or pinpointers made the 3 daughters were right their with us looking for the knife. Finally I suggested to the mom that they go check the SUV one more time while we continued the search of the yard. My wife just sat down in the beautiful yard and kinda of just moved her pinpointer around and it went off. She said « Don, go get the girls, I GOT IT ». Ally the daughter who lost the knife came running out and grabbed the knife out of the yard and held it to her chest, she was almost in tears.
Ally and her family thanked us and thank us and then even took pick pictures with us and our equipment so they could so their dad. Just another happy customer for « The Ring Finders ».
This hobby is so much fun!

Shannon’s Husband Wedding Ring Lost now Found!
Ellen & I got a call from our « The Ring Finders » website. It as about 8pm on Sunday evening. Shannon said that she and her husband had been at the local recreation center playground. Her husband took off his wedding ring and put it in his pocket so he would not scratch it while working out using the playground equipment as a gym.
Upon returning home he realized his ring was gone. He and Shannon searched for 6 days looking for the ring. She found us on the web and called. I told her I would come on on Monday morning after 9am, but after hearing her voice and talking to my wife. My wife convinced me to go do our 1st night search. We had our headlamps and our flashlight and the playground was in a nice area of town, so we decided to give it a try.
After 20 minutes of searching in the dark I hit something strong and thought to myself, I got it… but no it was a child’s charm bracelet. I stood up and got another hit just 2 feet from the bracelet. I bent down using my pinpointer and light and there was the ring. I had to use the flashlight to be sure I had Shannon’s husband’s ring. It was.
I called Shannon at 9:30pm and she seemed concerned when she realized it was me, I said hello and ask her if she would like to come up to the park playground and pick up her husband’s ring. She was estastic. She said she would be right down. She arrived in 15 minutes and was extremely grateful. This is my favorite part of this hobby, seeing the smiles, seeing the relief, it is a win, win moment for everyone.
Now I thought this adventure was over, but on Monday I received a very special text message from Shannon. I have pasted the text in below…
« » Thank you again sooo much, Don!! I surprised Aaron with his ring when he got home from work last night…. I sat him down and proposed to him :). Luckily he said yes 🙂 We are both so happy to have his ring back. You and your wife are so wonderful! It was an honor meeting you two! « »

Calgary Ringfinder Kevin Niefer CTV News Lost Ring Stanley Park
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.

CBC NEWS CALGARY RING FINDER KEVIN NIEFER
This year alone, he has helped reunite nine couples with their rings.
Kevin Niefer uses several metal detectors to find lost wedding rings. (CBC)
Just last week, Niefer got a call from a Calgary couple that would lead him to his toughest assignment to date.
Will Hoff had lost his wedding ring in the Waiparous River near Cochrane. After about an hour of searching in the fast-moving rocky river, Niefer was able to find the ring.
« Are you freaking kidding me? » Hoff exclaimed moments after Niefer plucked his ring out of the water.
Niefer says he isn’t in it for the money. Although couples often compensate him for his efforts, he doesn’t charged them a set amount.
“When you find it and people go ‘Oh no! I can’t believe you found it!,’ That’s pretty exciting, right? And to be able to return something that sentimental — that’s the biggest reward,” Niefer said.

You Lost Your Ring in the Bathroom???
You Lost You Ring in the Bathroom???Lost Ring in the Bathroom????
We received an email from a gentleman named Les, he said that he was changing clothes in his apartment bathroom and when he went to pull his shirt over his head his wedding ring slipped off and hit the floor. He said he actually heard it hit the floor. He decided to finish dressing and then find the ring. Mind you this is a very small apartment bathroom.
Les looked and looked for the ring, he and his wife checked everywhere. They even had the maintenance men come and move their washer and dryer in the attached room to see if the ring was underneath. Les lost his ring on his ONE MONTH wedding anniversary. It has been 3 months since the ring went missing and he found « The Ring Finders » on the internet. He lives literally 5 minutes from my home.
My wife, Ellen, and I arrived about 7pm not really believing we would have much luck. Metal detectors are not of much use inside a home let alone a small apartment bathroom. But Les was so nice and asked us to try so we agreed. We took our Garrett Pinpointers and our Detection Camera Scope. Upon seeing the size of the bathroom we knew it had to have bounced somewhere strange.
In looking at the bathroom we found a small open lip under the cabinet where the kick plate is. It was only a 1-1/2 inch opening that I could not even get my hand into, I got out my 3ft Detection Camera scope and worked it into the slot, nothing at first but on the second side, there in the dark glowing under the light from the camera scope was Les’s Platinum Wedding Band. I said, ‘hey Les, take a look at my detection screen, is that your Ring?’ He was so excited, he and I had to break loose the baseboard under the sink in order to reach it. He hollered for his wife, « they found It, they found it! » Another successful hunt for « The Ring Finders ».
