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.

This year alone, he has helped reunite nine couples with their rings.

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.

Received a distressed call from a mom about a lost ring in a pond recently. The daughter had been given the ring by someone who had passed away recently. A second ring had been lost about a year and a half ago. Both rings were recovered by James Evans, a member of THE RINGFINDERS METAL DETECTING SERVICE. If you need a metal detectorist, contact me. I hunt in water (up to about 4 feet deep), and on land. I find rings, coins, jewelry, keys and relics. Reward based fee.
I was contacted last night, via email, regarding a lost tricolored 14K gold wedding band. Apparently while working in the yard, it slipped off. Needless to say he was concerned.
As a Ringfinder, I use the best equipment and found his ring in less than a minute. His wife and son were very impressed at the quick recovery.
They called The Ring Finder Metal Detecting Service member: James Evans 773-206-8476. Available 24/7 Reward based fee + show up fee. If I don’t find it you only pay the show up fee.

It was early Sunday morning I received a call I guy lost a ring. He left a message telling me he lost his dad’s wedding band.I guess he lost it in the back yard while shooting hockey pucks with his son. He had just put it on the night before had it in a box for the last year and a half since his dad had past away.On the Friday night while out with friends his buddy was telling him how he wore his dad’s ring on a necklace around his neck to remember his dad.He liked that Idea so he just put his dad’s ring on his pinkie finger. Then that next day while playing with the kids the ring fell off.He looked for a long time couldn’t find it.He wasn’t sure if the lost it in the front yard backyard or if it went over next door.I called him back and headed out to his home.I got him to show me the area where he might of lost it. I guess the night before he couldn’t even sleep he was just sick to stomach.
The ring meant a lot to him and he had to find it. I searched the yard for about a half hour and found the ring for him.This guy was one happy dude after that.His dad had a big impact 0n him and the ring was one way to remember his dad. I was so glad to recover the gold wedding band / ring and return it to him. Kevin Niefer Calgary Alberta Canada
