Hi there,
Hope everyone had an awesome Labour Day weekend and an easy first morning back to school for those going and/or who have kids who are back for the first day today.
So here's my deal. I'm not a diver (wish I was!) but I need the help of people (or a person) who have either underwater metal detection equipment and/or other gear (goggles, snorkeling stuff and/or diving equipment) in a hurry.
Here's why. I had the unfortunate luck of losing my white gold and diamond engagement ring while swimming yesterday off Beaverton's shores of Lake Simcoe. For those not familiar Beaverton is in Brock Township which is part of Durham Region. It's not far from Sutton, actually. If anyone is familiar with Skipper's Fish/Chips place in the area it's just a few minutes drive from there.
Anyway....I am trying every possible means of getting my ring back - it has great sentimental meaning to me plus it's nearly brand new - just got it in February.
Someone suggested I contact local diving schools in the area to recruit assistance but I don't know of any and really, the water is likely too shallow for a dive though underwater metal detectors would be great for this task. I am sure even without a detector a skilled diver with a sifter might have a chance if in the right location. I did a search in Google and ended up finding this board.
Any suggestions or know of anyone who might be up to the task of helping me find my lost engagement ring who has underwater equipment for the job? I am offering a $500 reward for its successful return.
The water is very clear at this beach, considering it's freshwater and not saltwater so the job should be fairly easy (you can probably even do it standing up and walking in the water - dont' need to dive/swim as it's so shallow where we were).
For me, a non-diver and non-treasure-hunting-professional, it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack - I'm not sure if there are professionals who are hired for this sort of thing but I can use all the help I can get.
If you're up to the task please PM me or email me at screaming {underscore} success {at} rogers {dot} com - I will give you exact location details of which beach.
I know the odds are few that I'll ever get my ring but I just can't rest easy knowing that I didn't try and do something.
Any suggestions and/or offer of assistance is appreciated.
Thanks so much and either way have a nice day.
