I get a call from a young man who told me he lost a very important watch, right away my thought was Rolex.  I was only partially right it was a Rolex but what made it so important was it was a gift from his late grandfather. He told me it was lost in the lake up to his chin in water. He said he knew exactly where it fell in so I felt I was in good shape to go out and hopefully find this but one doesn’t know until they get there and see the conditions.

When I arrive to the lake in Whistler, William showed me where the watch fell into the water. One thing for sure the water was very cold as this was a glacier fed lake and it was cold, but it was a nice day and I was up for the challenge. When I got into the water, the rocks were big and awkward making this a very difficult search because I wouldn’t be able to scoop up the watch, also the water had zero visibility so it would make it very difficult to dive down and find it.

I began my search, got up to my chin in water hanging onto the dock. I was able to stretch my detector out to deeper water and get a signal. Fortunately, there wasn’t many signals in this area so I was confident this was his Rolex watch. I spent four hours in that water, I also found a leech on my arm not to say it was very cold. I started cramping up near the end, but I wasn’t gonna give up easy.

We built a bit of a ramp for me with some bigger rocks, so I could stand there and get leverage to try to scoop the watch out of the area, but it was too difficult with the rocks. I then thought of getting a big stump sticking it in the water very close to where I was getting the signal and have William dive down with my Metal Detector pin pointer as I thought this would be the only chance he’d  have in retrieving his watch. He was all for it because earlier that day somebody came up and asked if you were looking for a Rolex… the word had gotten out and more people knew about his watch and that was frightening for him, as you could imagine.

William brave the water and within 15 minutes came up with the watch in his hand. He didn’t even know until I let out a scream!  I was so excited for him to get that beautiful watch back where it belonged. I love my job!
