White Gold Corona Diamond Engagement Ring – Lost & Found at Billy D’s Driving Range, Edmonton, Alberta

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

I received a call last evening from Wayne requesting my help to locate his wife’s lost engagement ring. The ring had gone missing Sunday afternoon while they were at Billy D’s Driving Range with their two sons. After hearing Wayne explains the situation, I agreed to meet them in the morning and do everything I could to help.

I meet Wayne’s wife (Robyn) at the parking lot, she walked me through the events of the day. Robyn had taken her rings off and place them in her shoulder pouch at the batting cage facility, because she was afraid she would damage her rings, it wasn’t until she sat down on a bench at the driving range that she realized her ring was missing. She and Wayne searched the entire building, and four employees joined in to help – but no luck.

She then remembered going to the back of their truck to grab the boys’ golf bags. It was a long shot, but we checked the gravel parking lot. To her relief, that’s exactly where the ring was – still lying in the gravel after two full days.

Robyn was extremely fortunate, her white gold engagement ring blended perfectly with the stones, making the ring nearly invisible. Despite people walking and driving through the parking lot, no one had spotted the ring or picked it up. Finding it exactly where it fell brought huge relief to Robyn.

Another happy ending — and a beautiful engagement ring back where it belongs.

22-Karat Gold Ring Lost At A Soccer Filed! Empire Park, Edmonton Alberta

On Monday afternoon, I received a desperate call from Venkata asking if I could help locate his 22-karat gold ring that he had lost while playing soccer. After asking him a few questions about what had happened, I agreed to help.

When I arrived at the soccer field, I met up with Venkata. He showed me the area where he had been playing and explained that he felt the ring fly off his finger. He was convinced it had landed near a line of trees and a dirt pile. I spent the next three hours carefully searching that area but came up empty-handed.

Before leaving, Venkata mentioned that he had been playing all over the field. Thinking it over, I felt the chances of the ring flying all the way to the trees were actually quite low. With the mosquitoes becoming unbearable, I decided to call it a day and told Venkata I would return the following morning to continue the search.

I arrived back at the soccer pitch at 9:00 a.m. After carefully assessing the situation, I became convinced that the ring was not where Venkata believed it had landed. I decided to search the opposite side of the goalpost instead. Within just 15 minutes, my detector gave a solid signal. There it was—his 22K gold ring, lying about 15 feet in the opposite direction from where Venkata was certain it had gone.

When I handed the ring back to him, Venkata told me that his parents had given it to him when he moved from India to Canada three years earlier. The ring held tremendous sentimental value, making the successful recovery especially meaningful. Seeing the relief and gratitude on his face made all the time and effort worthwhile.

Thank you Venkata for entrusting me to recover your lost ring.

22K Tibetan Gold Wedding Ring Lost at BlackMud Creek Community Center Edmonton Alberta.

Mandeep contacted me around 6 p.m. requesting assistance in locating his two‑year‑old 22k yellow gold wedding band. After asking my standard questions to understand how and where it was lost, I agreed to help.

We met at the field where he had played a cricket match the previous day. Mandeep had prepared a hand‑drawn map and marked the area with yellow paint to indicate where he believed the ring had fallen. It was a large section of the field, so I continued asking questions to narrow down the search zone. He explained that while attempting to catch the ball, it grazed his finger, causing him to instinctively flick his hand—sending the ring flying somewhere onto the field.

He immediately called a time‑out, and his teammates joined him in a thorough search, but they were unable to locate the ring.

Based on his best recollection, Mandeep estimated the ring could be within a 50′ x 50′ area. I conducted a detailed search of that section for about an hour before confirming the ring was not there. Although disappointed, he remained hopeful. I reassured him that if the ring was still on the field, I would find it.

We then moved to the second marked location and spent another hour searching without success. As I reviewed the painted markings—two circles about a foot apart—I received a clean 68 VDI tone on my Manticore detector just outside the marked area. Moments later, I spotted the edge of the ring nestled in the grass.

Mandeep’s reaction was pure joy. He nearly jumped over the moon when I handed him his wedding band.

Thank you, Mandeep, for trusting me to help recover such a meaningful item.

 

Engagement Ring Lost at Astotin Lake, Lamont County, Alberta Canada.

I received a call from Elizabeth requesting my assistance in locating her lost engagement ring, which she lost while at the lake three days prior to calling me.

After speaking with Elizabeth and asking my customary questions, I agreed to drive to Elk Island National Park, which is a 55-minute drive east of me.

I met Elizabeth at the lake, and she showed me where the ring had fallen off her finger and into the lake. Elizabeth was standing on the dock while wiping sand off her pants, and the ring fell off her finger.

Elizabeth informed me that the ring was near the tenth post on the pier. She had purchased a metal detector from Amazon but was unable to find her ring. I spent approximately four hours in the lake, which was very murky and infested with leeches.

I conducted a thorough search of the area. I was certain that her ring was not in that area. Elizabeth was visibly disappointed with the outcome. I searched alone the pier edge from the water’s edge to the end of the pier and underneath the pier.

I took a break and re-evaluated the situation. I continued to ask Elizabeth questions, and the answer was always the same: the ring fell off at the tenth post.

I returned to the lake with another metal detector and, not five minutes later, I received a positive response. I retrieved her ring between the ninth post. I showed Elizabeth her ring, and she was overjoyed.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for entrusting me with the task of finding your ring.

 

Gold 10K Wedding Band Lost In 20″ Of Snow! Ozerna Neighbourhood, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Yesterday evening, I received a call from Justin requesting my metal detecting services to locate his lost yellow 10k gold wedding band in approximately 20 inches of snow in the common area of his condominium complex.

After asking Justin’s my usual questions, I agreed to assist him in locating his lost ring. We scheduled a time for 9:00 AM this morning.

Upon meeting Justin at his residence, he informed me that he and his wife were engaged in playing in the deep snow, creating snow angels. During this activity, Justin removed his glove to flick snow from his hand, inadvertently causing his wedding band to fall into the snow. They spent approximately 1.5 hours searching for the ring without any success. Consequently, they decided to utilize a metal detector and discovered the Ringfinders website, subsequently contacting me.

Despite the challenging conditions of approximately 1.5 hours in 20 inches of snow, I conducted a thorough search of the area where they played, ensuring that no ring tones were detected. Subsequently, I retraced my steps to the location where Justin removed his gloves, specifically close by the Spruce tree, where I successfully located his wedding band.

I extend my sincere gratitude to Justin and Ali for entrusting me with the responsibility of finding their ring.

Weather conditions in Edmonton this morning, December 28, 2025, are reported to be -23 Celsius with a windshield temperature of -30 Celsius.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lost Gold Signet Ring In The Snow Mill Woods, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

Jessica contacted me yesterday seeking assistance in locating her late father’s in-law gold Signet ring, which was passed down to his son and subsequently to Jessica 5 days ago..

While Jessica was retrieving garbage from the office and transporting it to the back dumpster, she lifted the lid and felt the ring fall off her finger. She believed the ring had fallen into the dumpster. Jessica and a few colleagues emptied and searched the contents of the dumpster without success.

I agreed to conduct a search and met Jessica at her office. She demonstrated how the ring had fallen off her finger, leading her to believe it had entered the dumpster. However, I observed that the ring could not have fallen into the dumpster.

To determine the ring’s potential range, I provided Jessica with a test ring. The ring’s trajectory indicated that I should search the back of the dumpster. I conducted a search in that area, but no results were found. I then searched the front of the dumpster without success.

Next, I initiated a search of the parking lot adjacent to the dumpster, approximately 6 feet away. I detected a Very shallow Signal (VDI) of 70 on my detector and with the only signal in the area, buried in about 2” of packed snow I found her ring.

Jessica was ecstatic that the ring was once again back on her finger.

Thank you Jessica for entrusting me to locate your ring,

Mike called me to ask if it was possible for me to drop by his house and help him find his lost keys in his back yard. After asking Mike a few questions in regards to his keys I agreed to drop by.

I meet Mike in his back yard.  He was cleaning up around a wood pile and said he had left his keys on the side of the wood pile and when it was time to pick up his keys they were not where he had left them.

I quickly checked the area that Mike had raked up into a pile. Mike said he had double checked the pile with no luck, but had he raked another foot over, he would have found his keys!  Mike was very grateful to have his keys back.  Thank you Mike

Jamie called me asking if I could help him locate his wife’s rings lost 10 days ago at Rapperswill Park while playing ball with her two boys.  Jamie told me he had purchased a metal detector and been searching every night for three hours for the past 10 days with no luck!

I agreed to do a seach of the area with Jamie so I meet Jamie at the park. He had his detector with him so I asked him to show me how he was using it and I noticed he was swinging the coil to fast and to high off the ground. I did a factory reset on his detector and told him to swing low and slow!

Jamie showed me the approximately the area where they were playing .  The area was roughly 100′ x 100′. I quickly searched the area and had the feeling that the rings where not where Jamie thought they could be so I told Jamie to ask his wife to come out and show us where she felt her rings had fallen,  She pointed out the area where they played and the area where she exited the park.  I  searched the area with Jamie and after three hours of seaching and as the sun was going down, we found the rings.

Jamie was over the moon to have the rings back after so many long stressfull and sleepless nights!

Thank you Jamie, it was a pleasure assisting you to reunite the rings and to have them back on your wife’s finger.
