Bryon Elness's Bio

I had a very basic detector as a young kid and found joy in locating lost treasures (coins and toys mostly) buried in the ground. I got to utilize more advanced metal detectors while working for a municipal police department, using them to search for bullets, bullet casings, knives, weapons and other evidence. After almost three decades of service in the public safety sector, I was able to retire, but have maintained my interest in metal detecting. I have several hundred hours of experience using my two modern and advanced metal detectors in locating jewelry, coins, relics, cell phones, etc,. I possess the patience, skills and advanced metal detecting equipment needed to thoroughly search an area for your lost treasure.

Bryon saved my world! (2026)

Bryon saved my world! I found him randomly on a Google search as I lost my ring in the back yard. Even though today was a holiday - he was here in 30 minutes and found my ring in about 1 minute. I couldn't be more grateful and would recommend him to ANYONE who needs help finding something precious. Not only did he respond instantly and was on time he was quick in finding a ring I never thought I'd see again. Great sense of humor as well! 10 out of 5 stars!!!!?? Thank you Bryon!

I can’t recommend Bryon enough! I lost my gold ring while playing volleyball and had almost given up hope of ever seeing it again. When Bryon arrived, I had already lost all confidence, but he never did. From the start, he was 100% confident that he would find it, and he searched with incredible dedication, patience, and professionalism.

He didn’t rush or give up—he kept searching until he found my ring. I was amazed by his determination and expertise. Thanks to Bryon, I have my ring back, and I couldn’t be happier.

I could not be more happy that I reached out! (2026)

I lost my wedding ring in a creek bed at Crown Winery, Leipers Fork (highly recommend) and could not find it after 20–30 minutes of searching in the water. On the drive home we found the TN ring finder online. I was between renting a metal detector vs letting it go at the time, but decided to go with Bryon, The TN Ring Finder. I was unable to find time for over a week due to a busy schedule, but Bryon reassured me that it was unlikely for the gold ring to have moved much (even despite heavy rains!).

I could not be more happy that I reached out! Not only was Bryon able to find my ring in about 15 minutes, he was responsive, professional, and incredibly thorough—and found it when I thought it was gone for good. I didn't realize how interesting metal detecting was too! I could not be more grateful and highly recommend!
I reached out to him through TheRingFinders.com. It was the best decision I could have made... (2026)

?????Absolute Lifesaver – Highly, Highly Recommend!

I cannot recommend Bryon Elness enough! After losing my family's Claddagh ring, passed down for generations while bathing my dog, I was completely overwhelmed trying to find it on my own. Bryon came very highly recommended, so I reached out to him through TheRingFinders.com. It was the best decision I could have made.

From the moment he arrived, he was professional, confident, and got right to work. I blinked and it was over—it took him exactly 38 seconds to track down my ring in the grass!

But the miracle didn't stop there. While he was out there scanning, he actually located a necklace that my wife thought she had completely lost at work! Finding the ring was incredible, but recovering the necklace too was just unbelievable.

If you have lost something sentimental and think it’s gone forever, do not waste your time trying to find it yourself or renting equipment. Save yourself the stress and call Bryon immediately. He is efficient, skilled, and absolute magic at what he does. Thank you again, Bryon!
Highly highly recommend! (2026)

Last year my dad gave me his ring that he'd had for 40 years and I had been wearing it daily since it was given. It slipped off today during a water balloon fight and I couldn't find it anywhere. Thankfully I found Bryon online from The Ring Finders and he arrived in less than 2 hours and immediately found and returned my ring to me. Highly highly recommend!
Highly recommend The Ring Finders and specifically Bryon to anyone needing help recovering something important (2026)

Bryon is amazing! We originally connected with him back in February of 2025 when my husband’s wedding band went missing. We ended up finding it in a flashlight, of all places, so we didn’t need to utilize Bryon’s expertise until May of 2026. Even though it was the second time we contacted him for help, he was just as professional, prompt, kind, and completely non-judgmental throughout the whole process as he was in 2025. After a three-day search in the house with no luck, we decided to seek Bryon’s skills and move the search outdoors. Bryon made his schedule available as soon as possible, and within two and a half hours, Bryon found my husband’s wedding band in an area away from our home where we take our dog! What a perfect upcoming anniversary present to have the ring back. Highly recommend The Ring Finders and specifically Bryon to anyone needing help recovering something important. We’re so grateful!
