What can I say…. this was one incredible lost ring recovery story!

It all starts with a group of high school girlfriends getting back together in the summer of 2023 at “The Wilson Cottage”!

It was amazing reminiscing about the high school days and catching up on the last number of years! My high school girlfriends knew that I was a registered metal & scuba dive Detectorist with the global organization “The Ring Finders” as I have been posting recovery stories for over 7 years!

Of course I always ask…. “Have you or your Family ever lost anything at the cottage or in the water?

It turns out that Beth’s Mother, Mrs. Wilson, lost a gold ring in the bay that represented her 20th service year at Consumers Distributing of Canada! She thought she lost 20 years ago then they thought 30 years ago but it’s likely the ring was lost 35 to 40 years ago!

Of course I had to bring all my gear… my underwater metal detectors and my DIVE BLU3 floating battery operated air supply systems The NEMO to 10’ depth and the NOMAD to 30’ depth!

All we knew that Mrs. Wilson Lost Ring cleaning up weeds ..

So I tried in underwater detecting in July 2023 and found a number of pennies, a fishing lure and trash!

Then comes to July 2024, which we were invited back up for a milestone birthday which we shall not discuss what year! *wink

So of course, I say well I’m heading into the water to try and look for your mom’s ring again …. And 20 minutes later I come up with a gold ring and I was freaking out!

We had no idea this was Mrs. Wilson’s ring. Gina googled the image for consumers distributing! It was then confirmed that the ring was indeed Mrs. Wilson’s lost ring!

We then proceeded to FaceTime Mrs. Wilson and surprise her! And what a wonderful surprise it was as we all had tears of joy!

Thank you, Mrs. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson as you did make a charity donation in 2023 to my charity the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation !

This was indeed, one of the most wonderful weekends we have ever had! Celebrating friendships along with milestone birthday and incredible years of memories!

“What happens at the cottage stays at the cottage” except for this very special Ring Recovery!

Platinum Wedding Band Lost Jumping off Cottage Boathouse Roof, Lake of Bays, Baysville, Muskoka, Ontario Lakes

Lost platinum wedding band jumping off boathouse roof.

Adam and his family were enjoying a lovely weekend at the Family cottage on Lake of Bays in the beautiful Muskoka’s cottage country. It also happened to be his wedding anniversary.

Adam decided to jump off the top of the boathouse into the water below. When he surfaced, his platinum wedding band was missing.

One of Adam’s Friends across the lake had mentioned me, as I recovered another lost wedding band for one of their mutual Friends in Otty Lake, Ottawa.

The water depth where the ring ended up was unknown but Adam felt it was definitely over 10’ deep.

I proceeded to use my Dive BLU3 Nomad air supply system with a hose length 30’ depth. Unfortunately, the Nomad unit was not operating properly as I was taking in water. I then switched to my smaller unit the NEMO for a hose reach 10’ depth. I managed to hear the tone of the platinum ring with a reach of 3’. Do I completed some temporary repairs to the Nomad unit and went back in the water.

After a few minutes back in the water I re-located the tone of platinum and recovered his wedding band.

I’d like to thank Adam and his family for their generous donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation! Not only did he receive his wedding band, but he also received a tax receipt for his donation!

Paul and his Wife were enjoying a lovely day sailing on the waters of Lake Muskoka, Ontario in late summer of 2022.

They had stopped in Alport Bay (otherwise known as Mud Bay) to drop anchor, relax and go for a leisurely swim. Afterwards, they realized the keel of the sailboat had dropped into the waters below.

Paul reached out to me after completing and online search for help and TheRingFinders global directory and called me soon after. He was excited that I could help as well I reached out to a high school girlfriend Beth and her Father offered the assistance with their boat. « The Wilson Family » has been on Eilean Gowan Island for 70 years. AMAZING. So we booked a day in early summer 2023 and ventures out to the location.

After arriving and within 10 minutes, I located the keel in 7′ of water of the Bay. Beth and Mr. Wilson came prepared. We roped up the keel and proceeded to drag it back to Allport Marina. The staff at Allport Marina then assisted in dragging the keel out of the water and placing it beside Paul’s sailboat. Paul had some work to completed.

What an adventure! Paul and his Wife were very happy to get back sailing the beautiful waters of Lake Muskoka!

Very grateful for all the help from the Wilson’s and staff at Allport Marina. Team work is dream work! As well, a thank you to Paul for his donation to my charity I have volunteered for 15 years with his donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation.
