Cost For My Service

I work on a reward basis, meaning you only pay if I find your item! Once it's recovered, you simply pay what it's worth to you and what fits your budget — no set fees, no pressure. The only exception is a small $30 callout fee to help cover my fuel costs getting to you. That's it! My goal is to reunite you with your treasured item, and I look forward to helping however I can.

Search Types

I can help locate lost items in almost any setting — yards, parks, fields, beaches, and lakes. Using specialized underwater equipment, I'm also able to search shallow water up to 20 feet deep. Whether you've lost a ring, a piece of jewelry, or any other valuable item, I'm happy to come search wherever it went missing!

Terry OBrien's Bio

For over 10 years, metal detecting has been my passion, taking me from local fields and parks right here in Hartford County all the way to historic farmland in Colchester, England. Along the way, I've developed the skills and equipment — including underwater search capability down to 20 feet — to help people recover the things that matter most to them.

Losing a piece of jewelry can be heartbreaking, especially when there's a story or memory attached. That's why I joined Ring Finder — to bring my experience and equipment to your yard, park, field, beach, or lake, and give you the best chance of getting your lost item back.

I work on a reward basis — you only pay if I find your item, and only what it's worth to you. I proudly serve all of Hartford County and look forward to helping reunite you with what you've lost.
