Received a text from Richard today about him having lost his gold wedding band in their backyard while doing some spring cleaning. The good news is that he saw the ring flying off his finger as he was moving a log. The bad news was that he mowed the tall grass in hope of better seeing the ring. Everything turn out fine as the ring was found in less than a minute. Another happy camper. Life is good.
I was contacted through Facebook when Sage lost her cellphone at a parking lot near a conservation area in Brighton. The bad news is that she had lost it over a week ago. After exchanging information and Google earth pictures, I headed over and was able to locate her phone in about six inches of snow. The good news, although the screen was cracked, the phone was still working. Even better, within the case of the phone, was her driver’s licence and various credit cards. She was very happy and grateful to be reunited with her phone and cards. Another happy ending.
Was contacted by Dawn on Facebook about her loosing her diamond engagement ring at the beach in Presqu’île Provincial park. This ring was lost back on 2nd of July, over a month ago. She had taken the ring off and placed it inside a small purse for safe keeping while at the beach. During her drive back home, she reached inside her purse and noticed it was full of sand and the ring was gone. Hoping that the ring had simply fell out of her purse, we traded a few Google earth pictures and details of what had happened, due to the fact that is not local to the area and couldn’t show me exactly where they were sitting. I headed out to do what I love best, in hope that the ring was still there, if at all. After a couple hours of gridding the beach, with very few targets, I finally got a great signal and pulled her ring out of my sand scoop. Another happy ending!!!
Tom and Stefanie were visiting friends at cottage on Lake Ontario near Brighton for the past few days. Unfortunately, shortly after arriving last Friday, Tom lost his gold wedding ring while tossing a ball in the water. After spending numerous hours looking for the ring with their friends, they had pretty much given up hopes of ever seeing the ring again. With a bit of searching online, they found me on the ring finders website and asked me if I could come out and look for the ring even though they had already left for home. Fortunately, the owner of the cottage, Kevin, was still there and graciously allowed me access to search for the missing ring. My biggest concern with this search was that the ring was lost five days ago and we had substantial winds/waves the past few days. This makes sandbars move quite a bit and can easily bury an item so deep that a metal detector may not pick up the signal. Well, Tom is a lucky man. After 4 1/2 hours of searching, I picked up a faint signal, about 10 inches deep, which ended up being his beautiful ring. Another happy ending.
