Who to Call If You’ve Lost Your Wedding Ring
Losing your favorite piece of jewelry sucks. Losing your wedding ring is a nightmare. You can always rent a metal detector and explore the area on your own, but The Ring Finders are better equipped to help you find your lost jewelry.
Ring Finders is a group of volunteers armed with equipment like metal detectors and scuba gear, everything you need if you’re looking for something as tiny as a wedding ring. Ring Finders members are located all over the world, most of which are located in the US or Europe.
Chris Turner, founder of The Ring Finders, created the site after launching a metal prospecting service in Vancouver, Canada. For people trying to find missing rings, Turner suggests leaving the search to the professionals and saving the money you pay to buy your own metal detector. “We had people who rented metal detectors, we had people who tried to find something on their own, sometimes it takes them days, otherwise they never find it. We’ll go in and find him in a matter of minutes. “
You can browse the directory or search for a call finder based on your location. Participants will share their stories of successful jewelry finds and restoration in posts on the site. One notable example is a man who lost his aunt’s wedding ring in a houseboat. After calling Everton from London, they found the ring 20 minutes later. To date, members of The Ring Finders have discovered over 3,500 pieces of jewelry.
The best part? Most members of The Ring Finders offer their services at criminally low rates, asking you to pay either a flat fee, no matter how much the service costs you, or just money for gas to and from you.
