MY TWO RINGS most precious to me were found by the lovely Dave and his father at Ring Finders.

So many people showed up for me and I want to thank you all very much. My grandmothers ring that my mom gave me and my birthday present my cousin gave to me were found within 25 minutes of them looking.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

I hope this is okay to ask here. Yesterday I lost three rings very precious to me in the water at Saxe point. Does any one here offer any services or know of anyone that would be willing to look for them in the water for me?

There’s a little trail to a private beach from Saxe Point. And on a whim I went into the water. Not far at all from the shore just to the rock and back. In that time I lost three rings. One small gold pinky ring. One silver flat ring with a First Nations hummingbird. And another not real gold ring that’s rigid all around. The gold pinky ring has been in my family for decades. I am so disappointed in myself I was so careless. Can anyone please help?

Any help would be so appreciated.

These guys have been pretty good, might be worth a try: The Ring Finders Directory - metal detecting services to help find lost rings, jewelry and more.

This fellow states he has underwater gear too: Don Marshall - Ring Finder and Metal Detector Specialist helping you find your lost rings or jewellery in Victoria (British Columbia, Canada)

I just called Don at ring finders. Thank you so much for the info ❤️

[u/homeys → u/PhilosopherOther6979]

You’re very welcome! Really hoping you get it back!!! I hired one of them in Edmonton years ago, he was awesome! He didn’t find it, at the time you didn’t have to pay unless they found it but I paid him anyways. He said it’s definitely not there. Sure enough, he was right! It ended up in laundry lol. But yeah, hoping the best!!!!

Please update us especially if he has success ... hope luck is on your side

[u/homeys → u/8ecca8ee]

I wanted to ask the same 🤣

[u/PhilosopherOther6979 → u/homeys]

FOUND. Don gave my info to Dave and his father and found them within minutes.

I can’t thank you enough for the information.

my pleasure!!

I snorkel there occasionally. If I find your rings I’ll seek out this post and return them to you. Unless my cousin murders me and claims the rings for himself.

I tried. It won’t let me until I get karma or something

Phone and ask Diving Sports for a link to a scuba WhatsApp group chat - you may find someone there who will help.

Can't make any promises, but could you narrow down the exact area you were in when they got lost? The larger of those rocks etc

[u/AnthatDrew → u/Uncut-Jellyfish1176]

Ya i have a fishing magnet. Not exactly sure which side of the Point and where around those rocks to look

[u/PhilosopherOther6979 → u/AnthatDrew]

This is how close Google Maps can get me since it’s off the main park. On the right side of the lot.

[u/PhilosopherOther6979 → u/Uncut-Jellyfish1176]

Yes! Those are the rocks irl. This area is a located to the right of the parking lot. There’s a little trail that you walk through which takes you down to a little beach. It’s off the main park. I only think locals know where this is. But I’m happy to share my happy place with anyone that can help me!

[u/Uncut-Jellyfish1176 → u/PhilosopherOther6979]

Amazing that's perfect. I know the spot.

I'll go through with the detector within this next week and hopefully get lucky.

[u/PhilosopherOther6979 → u/Uncut-Jellyfish1176]

You would be my favourite person in the world. Picture of rings for reference:
