I received a call to help find a lost gold coin on a gold chain at Wreck Beach in Vancouver. I was excited at the thought of being able to help find such an important item. After hearing the story about where this young man had lost the coin & gold chain my excitement dwindled.

He told me he went for a very long swim straight out from where he was sitting on the beach. The swim he estimated was approximately 1 km, over a half a mile. This meant my chances were very, very low for recovery. I told him what I could do is search at low tide to make sure he didn’t lose it closer to shore, maybe we could get lucky but in my mind this was just a closure search to make sure it wasn’t where anyone else could find it.

We both knew this was a long shot, I could only search 5% of the area as 95% would have been far from shore in the deep ocean. But I do believe in miracles and one happened that day after 2 1/2 hours of laying down a good grid-search on low tide in the wet sand I found his beautiful gold coin and gold chain.

I’ve been doing this a very long time and I’ve recovered over 550 items and I have to say I love these types of surprises where you don’t expect it and it shows up.

Needless to say, we were both high-fiving and extremely excited about the recovery!

I love my job!!
