I found this on the beach buried about 6 inches down. I did not know what it was at the time but after I got home I discovered it was a $7,000 Medtronic Insulin pump! I called the company and for medical reasons they could not give me the owners name but asked if they could give the owner mine. I said sure since my goal was to return it to the owner. I got a call from the owner and was able to mail it to them. Another successful return. Gigmaster on Youtube
This was one of my toughest recoveries. I was approached on the beach about a lost ring. It was lost in deeper water and the tide was rising with big waves. I knew the only chance was to take a beating in the waves before it was lost forever. After loosing my hat, headphones a few times and a few other items the ring was recovered and given to a very happy man. Gis deceased grandfather may have had a hand in guiding me to this recovery.

I got to meet Jose, Patricia and their whole family at North Beach Provincial Park today. While playing volley ball in the water, at about knee deep, Jose noticed his ring was no longer on his finger. The good part was that he was commenting to his friend about both of them wearing their wedding band in the water, shortly before he lost it and indeed, both men had their rings at that point. So, he knew for sure he had lost the ring in the water. After getting orientated, I turned on my Excalibur II and started gridding the area. Had the ring found within 10 minutes. Headed back to shore, grabbed the phone and recorded their reactions. I was so happy to be able to reunite them with their white gold wedding band while the whole family cheered them on. Another story that ends well!!!
Aaron and his fiancé Mallory were with a group of Friends celebrating at a cottage on Balsam Lake in the Kawartha Lakes Region near Kirkfield, Ontario.
Mallory’s beautiful gold and diamond elegant engagement ring slipped off her ring finger just 5’ to 10’ in front of the dock area.
They searched for 2-3 hours with no luck.
Google searched and found me. Called and I was immediately on my way!
I arrived to see the skies quickly turning dark and the winds picking up so I knew I best get it on.
Rushed to see the dock area, brought the gear down, jumped in, weeded through a couple of beer can pull tabs and the next target in the area they stated was Mallory’s stunning engagement ring!!
Happy screams of joy by all!! …even me!
What an awesome group of Friends Aaron & Mallory have!
Thanks for feeding me some dinner as I passed on my dinner to get to the location sooner than later!
Check out the video for this ring recovery;
Aaron sent in an incredibly generous donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation and he received a tax receipt!
It makes me feel valued for my passion of metal / scuba dive detecting, helping other and paying-it-forward to charity when incredible donations come in for my recoveries!!
Received a call from Alan as his parents were kayaking on the Sauble River just south of Sauble Falls in the South Bruce Peninsula area of Wiarton, Ontario.
Alan had called Bruce at Groundhog Divers in Kitchener to see if a diver was available to assist. Bruce kindly referred them to call me and we made arrangements to meet early Saturday morning.
They were new to kayaking and accidentally flipped over the kayak. Unfortunately a backpack which had many valuable items such as wallet, identification/cards, 2 cells phones, sunglasses and keys had fallen to the bottom in roughly 9’ to 12’ of water.
I brought both scuba gear and my DIVE BLU3 NEMO as the depth wasn’t confirm. I proceeded out to the location with the NEMO as with a 10’ hose hookah system the ease of use as well as only 12’ makes for a simple solution in recovering lost items quickly.
I could not locate the backpack at the location of kayak flip and proceeded down stream a bit as there was a slight current. Approximately 30’ away I found Zhihong’s sunglasses and in another 25’ more found the navy blue pack pack. The small front pouch was open. Underneath was some coins and a small set of keys.
I went to the surface withholding the backpack up with a round of cheers and applause. Proceeded back to the dock. They went threw the backpack and advised the think another set of car keys was still missing.
I went and re-gridded the area for another hour and a bit with no luck!
The Family was so happy and grateful to get their belongings back. Hopefully my adviser to lit the cell phones and car key FOB in rice for 1-2 days helped.
here’s the video of the backpack recovery;
Luckily, they found the other set of keys in the vehicle after opening it up with the found set in backpack!
Saved them more than a few hundred dollars and time in replacing all these items!
Also would like to say a special thank you to a cottage owner Dennis for allowing us on his property as well Glenn B for tagging along as a spotter!
I’m grateful to the couple for the generous donation made to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation as that is what I ask as a REWARD. To pay-it-forward to the charity I snowmobile for going into my 13th year of 23 years! They received a tax receipt!!
Received a text early this morning from Keelin. She and her friends went to a local beach in Cobourg Ontario for a late evening swim and camp fire by the shore of Lake Ontario. Fortunately for her, and the recovery of her ring, all the stars lined up as she specifically recalled feeling the ring slip off her finger and at what depth she was while in the water. Met up with Keelin and her dad first thing this morning, and ten minutes later found her ring within 20 feet from where she thought it was lost. Keelin’s fiancé currently lives in the UK and they haven’t seen each other since last January due to COVID. They are scheduled to get married this October, in the UK, and is extremely happy that she will be able to wear her lost and found engagement ring. Watch the video. Another happy ending!

I got a phone call from a young man who told me he lost his wedding band in a lake at Whistler, he told me he was swiping at a mosquito and his ring flew into the bushes. It had been about a couple of weeks and he found me online and asked if I was willing to come up and find his ring.
Of course I was up for the challenge, it was about a 2 Hour Dr. each way and part of the drive I had to jump in his vehicle because the road was so bad going into the lake that it had to be a special vehicle with enough clearance to make the big dips and bumps.
After arriving to this beautiful lake, Sunny showed me the direction that his ring had flown. I thought for sure this could take at least two hours, it was a very difficult search due to all the overgrowth, trees, branches and big rocks, I thought for sure I was in for a long search.
It was only a matter of minutes with a lot of luck that I found his ring, sometimes the ring gods are with us, today they were! I was so happy to get this ring back to Sunny and see his smile!

Got a text message the other night in regards to a Lost Ring in a volleyball court, this will be my third this year and so far I was two for two. I talk to the young man and asked him the questions I needed to know before I showed up, in regards to the search. He told me his friends searched for a long time into the dark and he bought a Metal Detector but still couldn’t find the ring.
We arrange to meet the next morning at 10 AM when the manager open the gate, even though he had bought a Metal Detector and his friends had search I knew my chances were great. After setting up my search I decided not to use my sand scoop in order to surprise him with the find, it took about 10 minutes and I found his beautiful white gold wedding band and I was able to surprise him.

Jason was enjoying a vacation with his Wife & Children renting a beautiful cottage on North Lake Dalrymple in the Kawartha Lakes Region on Ontario’s cottage country.
Jason was out in the water playing with his kids and his Daughter grabbed his wrist. His Garmin watch as well as her bracelet came off and went to the bottom of the lake.
Jason managed to dive down to locate his Daughters bracelet but unfortunately could not locate his Garmin watch. This Garmin is very special to him as it’s been on many athletic adventures through thick and thin with injuries and all. Jason is an amazing athlete and free diver as well. But he’s also an “EARTH ANGLE” raising charity donations for years with his high school buddies and Friends. I’m talking thousands of charity donation dollars!!! Over 3 million I believe! INCREDIBLE!
“CYCLE WARRIORS” is their team name!!! They are all EARTH ANGELS!! Doing their part in helping others in need jus as I do with using my passion for metal detecting snd raising much needed donations for the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation instead of taking/receiving a reward for finding the clients lost item!!
WE ARE MAKING THE DIFFERENCE!!
Here’s a link to sponsor Jason’s in his upcoming even in a view days!!!
Every donation matters!! Please make a donation if you can!
GO TRAM CYCLE WARRIORS / JASON GOOOOO!!!! PRINCESS MARGARET RIDE TO END CANCER!
Jason put us in the perfect location! My DIVE BLU3 NEMO hookah system and 10’ hose and my Minelab Excalibur2 underwater metal detector alongside a custom underwater circular gridding tool ROCKED IT UT!!! Once untangling the line it took 40 SECONDS to recover and surprise Jason with his Garmin watch!!
Garmin had given Jason some explicit instructions on how to care for and charge his watch. He took his time and was extremely pleased that after 6-8 weeks of it being in the water his GARMIN TURNED ON AND UPDATED!!!
Jason’s stated his buddies thought he was crazy to have the watch recovered and it wouldn’t work!! Guess he has the last chuckle!
check out the video of this Garmin watch recovery and return;
I was honoured to turn around and donated to Jason’s team! It will be a new annual donation in my books!! Thank you too Jason for your generous donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation!!
Just might drag you out on a couple of my recovery adventures where I need a dive buddy is my safety watcher!!
