Lost Gold Wedding Band in Polar Plunge Port Severn, Georgian Bay, Ontario

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)

Ajay and his long time University Friends were up at a cottage in Port Severn, Ontario. It was a last get together weekend before the summer as one Friends was headed to Western Canada.

The guys decided to do a ‘polar dip’ into the chilly waters of Georgian Bay. Unfortunately, Ajay’s wedding band slipped off his finger into the water below. One of the guys had taken a video of Ajay’s polar dip. With the help of a program I use (Splice), I imported the clip, slowed down the video and saw the moment the ring came off right in front of the dock.

I used my Dive BLU3 Nemo unit (floating battery operated air supply with 10′ hose) and my trusty Minelab Excalibur2 underwater metal detector. I the 25 minutes in the water, I found the cottage owners reading glasses, a fishing lure and finally Ajay’s beautiful gold wedding band!

What a great group of guys helping me with my equipment, recording from the dock and even a nice hot coffee with food afterwards to warm up. It was a real pleasure.

Thank you Ajay for your generous donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation!

Sentimental ring lost in 15’ of cottage lake water Severn, Georgian Bay, Huntsville, ON

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)

Had an emergency call from a girlfriend I hadn’t seen in a couple of years as she lost a very sentimental ring into a Georgian Bay lake in beautiful cottage country of Muskoka, Ontario. (respecting her privacy / area not to be named)

She tossed a line into the water to tow her SeaDoo back to the dock. Unfortunately her ring flew off her hand into 15’ of cold water. She had the smarts to immediately note two landmarks and called me immediately!

I was excited to head up to her location with brand new gear to test out along with finding her precious ring.

I made arrangements for the following weekend even though waters were roughly 12C. I met her at the marina and headed to her beautiful home!

All my gear was set up, checked and off I went with her as my spotter. My new DIve BLU3 Nomad Hookah system worked great alongside the new underwater metal detector the Nokta Makro “Legend”, and my underwater circular gridding tool.

On the 3rd outing after I moved my circular gridding tool closer to shore, I had a solid double tone! I was hoping this was it because I was starting to get cold! Second grasp of silty debris and I had the beautiful ring!! Now the surprise…

Check out the video;

I came up and handed over my gridding tool and detecting, went into her dock area and then the surprise!! Priceless! She was absolutely thrilled!!!

I am extremely grateful for the incredible donation she made to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation as well as her wonderful hospitality!
