  • Thanks to his dedication and perseverance, this priceless piece of our story is back where it belongs
    testimonial for Trevor Oxborrow (2025)

    In September 2023, my wedding ring sank to the bottom of the lake. We thought it was lost forever. Being from Europe, we were nowhere near to look for it ourselves — but Trevor never gave up. He dived several times for us and found it in the summer of 2025. Thanks to his dedication and perseverance, this priceless piece of our story is back where it belongs! Thank you Trevor!

    I hope you have a wonderful week.

    Kind regards,

    Jeremay and Wendy

  • I felt emotion and I couldn't have been happier. Thank you to The Ring Finders and thank you Ron.
    testimonial for Ron Forster (2025)

    Item

    Hey Ron, thanks again for yesterday. I'm very grateful beyond words, for finding my new lost wedding ring.

    I located Ron's name on The Ring Finders, website, and I'm glad I did. I called Ron and he stopped everything he was doing. I was in Cambridge working so I offered to drive Ron to the location in Paris in the Nith River where I believed my wedding ring was lost. On the way to Paris, we exchanged stories and I could tell he was focused on finding my ring.

    Once we arrived at the site, I pointed out the location where I believed my ring was lost. He carefully searched the area and left no area or stone untouched. Within 10 minutes Ron had found my ring and carefully placed it in my hand. I felt emotion and I couldn't have been happier. Thank you to The Ring Finders and thank you Ron.
