Building a Ring Recovery Service: More Than Just Finding Lost Treasure

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

​Starting Kingston and Ontario Ring Recovery Services (KORRS) has been an incredible journey. It’s about more than just the thrill of the hunt; it’s about helping people in our community during what can be a really stressful time. But, like any new venture, it’s come with its own set of challenges.

​One of the biggest hurdles has been getting the word out. Ring recovery isn’t something people think about until they need it, so building awareness has been key. We’ve tried local community boards and groups, connecting with related businesses, and even starting a YouTube channel to showcase our work.

​Speaking of YouTube, that’s been a challenge in itself! Creating engaging content that keeps people coming back is tough. We’ve focused on metal detecting in general, especially at historical sites from the 1800s and earlier, and of course, our ring recovery videos. People seem to really connect with the emotional side of recoveries, so we’re trying to highlight that more.

​Building a reputable business takes time, but the rewards are immense. The look on someone’s face when we return a lost ring? That makes all the hard work worth it. We’re passionate about what we do, and we’re committed to serving our community.
