Lost for 6 days in the ocean at Spanish Banks Beach…Vancouver/24k gold wedding band/lost while swimming.
Now the ring will fly home to Hong Kong where the owner will be happily awaiting its arrival.
I lost my wedding band over a month ago now and I was quite disappointed to say the least. I’ve never taken my ring off except for a few hours to do odd chores around the house for the last 10 years. After losing the ring, it felt like I lost a part of me. So I started scouring “lost and found” ads in the paper and craigslist hoping to find my ring. And this is how I found Chris Turner, on Craigslist, offering his service to find lost jewelry for people. So I contacted Chris, told him where, when and how I lost it. He said he’ll try to look for it but there won’t be any guarantee. I resigned to the fact that he won’t find it since it’s been lost in the lake for at least 3 weeks after calling him. But lo and behold, one beautiful Saturday morning he gives me a call to let me know he found it!!!! They say miracles don’t happen but it did, Chris happened. I want to take this opportunity to say thanks to you again buddy. Big Thanks!!!
Regards,
Jason
Last week I received an email from Jason and he told me the story about his lost ring in Alouette lake in Maple Ridge. I was excited to search for the ring until he told me it was lost for over a month.
I knew this would be a difficult search due to the time the ring was lost and because lots of people search lakes. I was going to meet up on Saturday so Jason could show me the exact location but he had to work that day.
I had a few searches on Sunday so I told him that I’d go on Saturday and take a look. We discussed the search area and Jason gave me a good idea of the area it could be lost in, so off I went.
I got there early morning and I was surprised to see how big the lake was! I started my grid search and I was closing in on 4 hours and no ring.
I expanded my search to deeper water and just a few minutes past the 4 hour mark I received a good signal and in my sand scoop was a white gold ring! Was it his? He told me that the ring had his name and his wife’s name and the date they got married. I looked in the inside of the band and I saw writing and the name ”Jason”
I was so excited that I found the ring! In this big lake finding a small ring is like finding a needle in a haystack.
I called Jason and he was delighted! We met the next day and he got his ring back…It was great meeting you and your family Jason!

This ring was lost for one month in four feet of water…
Today I had a search for a lady who lost both of her wedding rings at White Rock Beach. After talking with Ali on the phone I knew the chances of finding her rings were slim due to the fact that it was likely lost on the short grass where she and her family were sitting, making the rings easy to spot.
She had taken them off to put suntan lotion on her kids and put them on the towel she was sitting on, after a while it was time to go and she got up and her son picked up the towel and they left for home.
After around a half hour she realized what had happen and raced back to where they had been sitting to look for her rings…No luck, they were no where to be found. Franticly searching for her rings strangers stopped and helped her look but no one found them.
When I arrived the next day and met Ali and her sister they showed me the spot, I searched the grass and then the small bush area but no luck.
I brought a towel and a couple of rings of no value but ones I would use to do a test with and placed the rings on the towel and asked Ali to pick up the towel like her son would have done. This showed us that the rings didn’t travel far at all and ended up on the grass close to the towel. This would have been very easy for someone to spot.
I believe there are good people in this world still and the person who found the rings is looking for the owner… If you found the rings here is Ali’s contact number… 604-870-8825
I hope your rings find you Ali.
I received a call while I was at work, this young man told me the story about how his wife’s wedding band fell off her finger and into the ocean where they were standing. He said that they searched for 3 hours in knee deep water but had no luck in finding the ring.
The night before I was out searching for a young man’s wedding band at 12 AM and I was a little tired as I just switched to nights for work that day.
I listened to his story and I needed to check the tide chart on my Iphone to see when the next low tide was so I told him I’d call him back.
The next low tide was at 7:59 AM…I would be working to 4:30 AM that morning so I had to decide if I could make it out there…I figured I could drive out there after work and get a few hours of sleep then meet him and find his wife’s wedding band and get a few more hours sleep to wait out the morning rush hour, then go home and get a few more hours of sleep then go to work.
I called him back and we were to meet at 7AM that morning for the search. I drove out to the Crescent Beach area and slept in my car for a bit then at 7AM I met Mohumad.
Mohumad explained what happened that day and that he was sure of the area the ring was lost in, which helps a lot when your searching for something so small. He drove and I followed him to the beach, when we got there the tide was out and Mohumad showed me where he thought the ring would be.
He walked to the top of the beach where there was a big patch of seaweed and walked out towards the water and stopped and said this is the area here!
I started my search and within 20 seconds or so I found the ring! It helps so much when a person doesn’t panic and makes a mental note of the area the ring was lost in because it gives me a great chance to find the ring the next day. I had a similar search at a beach years back and it took me close to 3 hours to locate the lost ring.This was because the person didn’t make a note of the area but just pointed and said out there some where…Thanks Mohumad, it was great meeting you and I’m glad your wife has her ring back!
I love my job!

I get a call from a young man and he tells me that he lost his wedding band in the Pitt Meadows area in BC.
He goes on to tell me that he lost it where he was fishing and he knew the exact area at Pitt lake where his large silver ring came off his finger.
I agree to meet him and we drove out together to find his ring, when I get there its full of weeds and the water was ankle deep.
I thought it might be difficult to find the area but he was sure he knew where it was, we didn’t have much time as this is a tidal river and the tide was coming in!
He spots the area and I begin to search quickly, it shouldn’t take long as he was sure this was the area, I thought to myself. After 15 minutes and no ring I started to think maybe we were in the wrong spot.
Just then he calls out to me and said maybe its this spot here…The tide was moving in very fast and it was getting close to my knees now so I knew we didn’t have much time.
I started my grid search in the new area and within 5 minutes I received a good loud signal and there was his ring! He was so pleased and I was so happy that we found it before the water was over my head!
Check out his smile…
I love my job!

This Story is about a lifeguard that lost his wedding band while training in the ocean. Years ago I started out by passing flyers to the lifeguards for my ring finders service here in Vancouver, BC.
Fortunately he remembered my service and called me after he searched for his ring in the ocean bottom for a few hours with no luck.
I met him at the beach that evening and he showed me the area where he lost the ring, the good thing was he measured out the exact distanced from a log on the shoreline to the area the ring was lost.
I had to wait until low tide later that evening (3am) and thanks to him marking the location it only took me 20 minutes to find.
To date I’m 2 for 2 for helping our lifeguards recover their wedding bands…
I love my job!
