Sentimental Gold Ring Lost Over 35-40 Years Ago In Lake Muskoka, Bracebridge, Ontario Canada

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)

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!

Prescription Ray Ban sunglasses lost in the waters of Lake Muskoka, Port Carling, ON

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)

Had a message from repeat customers Ellen & Stephen that their Friends were visiting their home in Port Carling.

Their Friend tried out the paddle board and unfortunately tumbled into the water just off the dock area dropping his prescription Ray Ban sunglasses into the water below. The depth was approximately 8’ deep with half decent visibility and they knew the exact area.

I used my Dive BLU3 Nemo battery operated hookah system which has a 10’ hose and was perfect for this recovery.

I proceeded to the area and caught a glimpse of the inside white portion of the plastic arms in a matter of 10 seconds!

An awesome surprise to Ellen & Stephen to recovery their Friends prescription Ray Ban sunglasses in such little time and not even needing my underwater metal detector!

Thank you Ellen & Stephen for your donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation as part of my pay-it-forward fundraising efforts!

I use my passion for metal / scuba / hookah dive detecting to raise donations as I’n in my 14th year participating for this wonderful charity!
