Lost Sentimental Wedding Band in Lake Baptiste, Bancroft, Hastings Highlands, Haliburton, Ontario Canada

Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation ‘Pink Sista’ Beth had contacted me because her husband lost his wedding band in the waters or around their cottage on Lake Baptiste in Bancroft, Hastings Highlands, Haliburton, Ontario.

I thought it would be a good idea to put a flyer out on the lake as it was almost 4 hour drive up from my home and maybe others had last something!

I had a few people reach out about their lost items and one was from Carol Anne & Larry.

Their Son-in-law Jeff has been visiting the cottage with the kids.  Jeff was playing in the water with his kids and lost his wedding band! The area was extremely silty with very poor visibility.

I proceeded into the general area and with the help of my Minelab Manticore underwater detector and a pin pointer, I recovered Jeff’s precious wedding band in roughly 5 minutes.

I headed back to the dock and handed the wedding band to Larry with tears in my eyes. Carol Anne & Larry’s Daughter Terry Anne had passed away in 2020 after a very short illness with cancer.

Jeff was extremely grateful to receive his wedding ring back as he stated ‘how a chunk of shiny metal held so many memories and a replacement band just wasn’t the same’!

I am truly honoured to meet and help Carol Anne & Larry find their Son-in-Law Jeff’s precious and cherished wedding band! I look forward to visiting them when I return to Lake Baptiste this summer 2024!
