Aliya called me that her husband Nathaniel had lost a Wedding Ring the previous evening, I responded right away. The Family had been having a photo shoot on Dilworth Mountain. During the photo shoot Nathaniel did not wear his wedding ring because it did not fit properly, so he borrowed his fathers ring ( who was not with them) for the shoot, unfortunately his fathers ring was also too loose, and wouldn’t you know it, he lost it. The family all searched the suspected loss location with no success, as luck would have it during their search, someone stepped on the ring and pushed it into the ground. The first sweep of my detector gave a signal, and after scraping the dirt we had fathers ring recovered. Everyone one was happy, and it saved an embarrassing conversation with father.

 

My 3rd lost ring call of the day came at dinner time from Tyler in Naramata to tell me that his wife had lost her wedding ring in the Lake. I was going to respond the next day, but went right after dinner. After an 80 minute drive, Tyler showed me the location of the missing ring, after 5 minutes I had a diamond ring in my scoop, he said that`s her engagemant ring, her wedding ring is still there. Another 15 minutes and we had them both, much to the delight of all the people in the resort who had initially helped to search for the rings, so it was cheers and high fives all round which brought Tyler`s wife to tears.

 

 

Robert`s sister was visiting, and they were swimming off their dock on Lake Okanagan. When climbing out onto the shore Roberts sister lost her sentimental Ring. They all searched for it for 2 weeks with snorkels, with no success, Robert found me on The Ringfinders Directory and gave me a call, I responded right away and drove to the location where Robert showed me the loss location that they had marked. The waves had pushed the ring a few inches into the gravel and I found it within minutes. Robert will return the ring to his sister and thanked me for my quick response and driving to his location.

Warren and his family were down at the local beach to watch the fireworks display, after sitting in the sand, Warren went to wash his hands in the water. Back on the beach he shook the water off his hands and before he knew it, his ring was missing. The family searched until midnight with no success, they returned in the morning with a metal detector, again unsuccessfully. The ring belonged to his Father who had it and two other rings made from a gold nugget. Regretfully Warren`s Father had recently died, and Warren inherited his Father`s ring, unfortunately that was the ring he was wearing on the beach. I had been working my sales booth at a Rock & Gem show all weekend, and just got home when my wife said that I had a phone call on the recording machine, I returned the call to Warren who told me his story, I told him I would be there at 5:30 in the morning to search for it. I had no sooner hung up when I gave it second thoughts, Warren was very distraught so I called him back and said I would meet him at the beach in 45 minutes, the sooner the search the better. At the beach he showed me the loss location which I gridded for over 30 minutes. I told him there is a possibility that it went into the water and I would return in the am to search the water. Before I left the beach, I searched the waters edge getting my feet wet, only to recover the ring. Another happy family, I love it.

Deeanna contacted  me to say that her husband had lost their first Wedding Anniversary ring. He was in their driveway removing some furniture from his truck to take indoors, once finished he noticed his anniversary ring was missing in the snow. I emailed Deeanna and set up a time when my visit would be good for her. Once there I first noticed lots of power lines in her driveway, Interference from them was a big issue. I turned down my sensitivity as low as I could, after an hour and only finding bottle caps, I increased my search area and found the ring up the driveway banking in the flower bed. Another happy lady.

 

 

Justean lost her ring while swimming in Lake Okanagan, she sent a great picture of the location. Without it I would never have found the ring, It was next to a weedy location. I love returning lost items.
