Lost Gold Diamond Ring, Stanley Park, Vancouver
I was just sitting down to dinner when I got a phone call from a man who needed my help.
He tells me that he lost a very special ring that his girlfriend gave him 10 years ago.
He was in a wedding party and some time during the day and a few drinks his ring had slipped off his finger.
The problem with these kind of searches is that it’s a needle in a haystack.
The only places he thought the ring might be was at Stanley Park in Vancouver where they took photos or at the church outside where they had the wedding.
Dano had a good feeling and decided to start at Stanley Park, I met him and his girlfriend there to start the search. When I get a search like this I have them show me the area then I grid search until I find the ring or I feel comfortable that its not there and move to the next location.
10 minutes into the search I get a great signal and I kick the grass and see a gold ring looking back up at me!
I call Dano over to ask him a few questions about the location while I turn on my flip video camera… The rest is on the video below!
I have to say that it was our lucky day as a search like that could take many, many hours. I was just as happy as Dano!!
I Love My Job!

Lost White Gold Wedding Band…2nd Beach, Stanley Park, Vancouver…Found!
I just got home from the United States where I was helping one of our members from The Ring Finders on a big search that I will be writing about soon.
As I was getting close to home I received a call from a young man who had just lost his white gold wedding band. It was lost at 3rd beach at Stanley Park, Vancouver.
After talking to Mike, the young man who lost his ring, we decided to meet at 2 AM at low tide so that he could show me the area where his ring was lost.
I think he was surprised that I wanted to meet him at such a time but the only chance we had was at low tide.
So when I met Mike he showed me the area the ring was lost at, the water was waste deep and he felt that I was in the right area.
He told me that the ring was made from his wife’s great grandmother’s rings and that it could never be replaced.
Mike stayed for 45 minutes then he said he was getting tired and would wait to hear from me in the morning to weather or not I found his ring.
Less then 15 minutes after Mike left for home I got a good signal, I scooped the sand and there in my scoop was his white gold wedding band…
I called him right away as I knew that he’d still be up and he was very happy to get the news!
I love my job!
Thanks for reading my blog!

Lost Platinum Wedding Band 2nd Beach, Stanley Park, Vancouver
I received a call late afternoon from a young man who had just lost his Platinum wedding ring. It was lost at 3rd beach at Stanley Park, Vancouver and the tide was coming in fast.
I jumped into my car and drove there and it took me 20 minutes to find parking! When I met Mike he showed me the area that he lost his ring and I started my grid search.
I met the lifeguard who said that I was in the wrong area as the tide had come in and it would be well over my head. I continued searching in hope that the ring was lost closer to shore, no such luck.
Sometimes you can’t find what your looking for and I knew that Mike was sad but I told him that I’d come back for low tide at 3 AM.
When I arrived back at the beach at 2:30 AM the tide was way out, I began my grid search and after one hour I found his platinum wedding band with a dragon on the outside and inscription on the inside.
I e-mailed Mike the good news and a picture of his ring and now its back on his finger.
I love my job!

Lost Gold Wedding Ring at Kits Beach…Found!
Kits Beach Vancouver, a young married couple playing Volleyball on a hot and sunny day and enjoying the long weekend, that was until the young man’s wedding ring came flying off his finger into the sand… they searched the sand for hours but no luck!
Thankfully a friend approached the lifeguards for help and they passed my flyer to them. I received a call for help around dinner time and I was off to the beach.
I met the couple and they told me the area they thought the ring came off at and I started my search. There were few good signal and about 20 minutes into the grid search I had a loud signal and I felt it was going to be the ring…It was!
I love my job!

Volleyball Gold lost at Kits Beach…4 year anniversary not far away!
Lost Gold Opal Ring/Sunset Beach, Vancouver
I received the call for help at 2:30 pm and we discussed the search, it was fireworks night and I knew I had to search for her ring ASAP.
She lost her Gold and Opal ring that was given to her by her Grandmother…She lost it when she went to high five her friend early in the morning at Sunset Beach…
With little hope of finding the ring they stumble across a Lifeguard the next day who gives them my number and a second chance.
Fireworks attract hundreds of thousands of people and I knew I didn’t get out there soon it would be hard to find parking.
I rushed out to the beach and met the young lady who showed me the area. I started my grid search and I was finding lots of junk and after maybe 10 minutes I got a loud signal and out of the sand popped out her beautiful gold and opal ring.
I love my job!

Lost Gold Signet Ring/Sunset Beach, Vancouver/Found
Late night search for a gold signet ring lost in the grass by Sunset Beach…
Someone posted a lost & found ad about a lost signet ring and gave such a good description of the area it was lost at that it tempted me to go out at midnight to take a look for it.
I replied to the post but never heard back so I packed my gear and headed out. Without the person to be there its a bit of a challenge but I do like a challenge!
When I arrived to the spot I decide to search from east to west…I’d say lucky choice as within 10 minutes I got a good strong signal and turned on my flashlight and kicked the grass to see gold! It was the signet ring!
When I got back home I emailed the news of finding the ring and also sent a picture of the ring. The next morning we made arrangements to meet.
When we met he was very excited to get his ring back but unfortunately he didn’t want to do a video…It happens
He did tell me that he had the ring for over 20 years and it meant a lot to him to get it back.
I love my job!
