Default Lost Ring--returned right to my door.

Here is a story that's posted on the Craigslist Vancouver (Canada) in the Community tab. This story also turned into two radio interviews on CBC news. I love helping people! Hope you enjoy.

LOST RING--returned right to my door...find out how.

When my husband lost his ring in the sand at Locarno Beach on Monday, we were devastated. We searched for about an hour, gently sifting the sand. Nothing was found. With heavy hearts, we left the beach. There was nothing we could do.

That night I resolved to go back and look for it. In the morning, I packed up my two daughters, threw together a packed lunch, called around for a metal detector and went on my way.

I searched for two and half hours. Nothing. With half the beach in my kids clothes, boots and mouths, we left the beach with our heads hanging low.

I decided to post an ad the next morning (Wednesday...today) on Craigslist to see if anything turned up. If not, maybe someone would see my ad and go out to find the ring for themselves. I never ended up posting that ad. I instead found www.treasuretalk.com. Mr. Turner is the man that runs the business. I reviewed his website and was impressed with the testimonials so I decided to send him an e-mail. He called me back soon after and we discussed where the ring had been lost. He called me again when he reached the beach to figure out where the ring was....after 20 minutes Mr. Turner called me back. He had found the ring within 1 minute of setting up his equipment. I was so happy!!! Amazed really.

Then he actually drove to my house in Port Moody (1 hour away from the beach)to bring me my husband's ring!

I would recommend Mr. Turner to anyone searching for a lost treasure! He has a heart of gold and you can tell by his voice on the phone that he loves what he does!

Thanks Chris, I wish you all the best in the future!

Everyone else, here is the link to his website...
