Lost for 6 days in the ocean at Spanish Banks Beach…Vancouver/24k gold wedding band/lost while swimming.
Now the ring will fly home to Hong Kong where the owner will be happily awaiting its arrival.
I lost my wedding band over a month ago now and I was quite disappointed to say the least. I’ve never taken my ring off except for a few hours to do odd chores around the house for the last 10 years. After losing the ring, it felt like I lost a part of me. So I started scouring « lost and found » ads in the paper and craigslist hoping to find my ring. And this is how I found Chris Turner, on Craigslist, offering his service to find lost jewelry for people. So I contacted Chris, told him where, when and how I lost it. He said he’ll try to look for it but there won’t be any guarantee. I resigned to the fact that he won’t find it since it’s been lost in the lake for at least 3 weeks after calling him. But lo and behold, one beautiful Saturday morning he gives me a call to let me know he found it!!!! They say miracles don’t happen but it did, Chris happened. I want to take this opportunity to say thanks to you again buddy. Big Thanks!!!
Regards,
Jason
Last week I received an email from Jason and he told me the story about his lost ring in Alouette lake in Maple Ridge. I was excited to search for the ring until he told me it was lost for over a month.
I knew this would be a difficult search due to the time the ring was lost and because lots of people search lakes. I was going to meet up on Saturday so Jason could show me the exact location but he had to work that day.
I had a few searches on Sunday so I told him that I’d go on Saturday and take a look. We discussed the search area and Jason gave me a good idea of the area it could be lost in, so off I went.
I got there early morning and I was surprised to see how big the lake was! I started my grid search and I was closing in on 4 hours and no ring.
I expanded my search to deeper water and just a few minutes past the 4 hour mark I received a good signal and in my sand scoop was a white gold ring! Was it his? He told me that the ring had his name and his wife’s name and the date they got married. I looked in the inside of the band and I saw writing and the name »Jason »
I was so excited that I found the ring! In this big lake finding a small ring is like finding a needle in a haystack.
I called Jason and he was delighted! We met the next day and he got his ring back…It was great meeting you and your family Jason!

I just got home from a four hour water search in a lake in Maple Ridge where I found a lost wedding band for a young man.
I didn’t have breakfast so I made some lunch and fell a sleep soon after.
A few hours later a wake up to a phone call from a man named Scott who lost his wedding band at the volleyball court at Spanish Banks Beach.He got my number from the life guards, I listened to his story and felt it would take no time to find the ring as he had a small area for me to search because he saw the ring fly off his finger into the sand.
I jumped into my car and headed out, I met Scott and he showed me the area and no sooner did I turn on my metal detector… I found his ring!
Scott told me the story about how his mother gave him her fathers wedding band that was sitting in a drawer for 50 plus years… What a sad story but a happy ending!
I love my job!

I received an email a few days ago in regards to a lost silver bracelet possibly in a pile of grass in this ladies neighbors backyard.
She was about to rent a metal detector and found me under MetalDetectorRental.ca and called to see if I could help her.
I listened to her story and by the sounds of it she wasn’t sure when the bracelet came off, maybe when she was cutting her neighbors lawn.
She recalls that she took the bag of grass that she cut to her neighbors back yard and dumped it on the compost.
When she realized that the bracelet was lost she immediately went back to where she dumped the grass and her and her husband searched but couldn’t find it.
This was a one of a kind bracelet and it meant the world to her! She desperately wanted to find it. After 25 minutes and digging out the newer weeds to get to the grass that she put there a week before I suddenly got a good signal…It was her bracelet!
I love my job! Lost something and want it found?

When I’m off work I enjoy searching some lakes around my home town to kill some time.
I search during the night so not to disturb sun tanners during the day. Also Its been sooooo hot here its hard to sleep, so a night hunt is refreshing!
Found these two silver rings today at Trout Lake in Vancouver, if any of the two belong to you please contact me and I’ll be happy to return it to you!
You must know the inscription on the inside of the rings to claim it…
I love my job!

I received a call while I was at work, this young man told me the story about how his wife’s wedding band fell off her finger and into the ocean where they were standing. He said that they searched for 3 hours in knee deep water but had no luck in finding the ring.
The night before I was out searching for a young man’s wedding band at 12 AM and I was a little tired as I just switched to nights for work that day.
I listened to his story and I needed to check the tide chart on my Iphone to see when the next low tide was so I told him I’d call him back.
The next low tide was at 7:59 AM…I would be working to 4:30 AM that morning so I had to decide if I could make it out there…I figured I could drive out there after work and get a few hours of sleep then meet him and find his wife’s wedding band and get a few more hours sleep to wait out the morning rush hour, then go home and get a few more hours of sleep then go to work.
I called him back and we were to meet at 7AM that morning for the search. I drove out to the Crescent Beach area and slept in my car for a bit then at 7AM I met Mohumad.
Mohumad explained what happened that day and that he was sure of the area the ring was lost in, which helps a lot when your searching for something so small. He drove and I followed him to the beach, when we got there the tide was out and Mohumad showed me where he thought the ring would be.
He walked to the top of the beach where there was a big patch of seaweed and walked out towards the water and stopped and said this is the area here!
I started my search and within 20 seconds or so I found the ring! It helps so much when a person doesn’t panic and makes a mental note of the area the ring was lost in because it gives me a great chance to find the ring the next day. I had a similar search at a beach years back and it took me close to 3 hours to locate the lost ring.This was because the person didn’t make a note of the area but just pointed and said out there some where…Thanks Mohumad, it was great meeting you and I’m glad your wife has her ring back!
I love my job!
