Against all odds, a Colwood woman has been 香蕉视频直播渕iraculously香蕉视频直播� reunited with her wedding ring after losing it in Lookout Lake.

For over two weeks, Deborah Parker香蕉视频直播檚 gold ring lay lost among the stones and the weeds at the bottom of the 香蕉视频直播渕urky香蕉视频直播� lake, after it unknowingly slipped off her finger during a quick dip to escape the hot weather.

Desperate to find the ring, which originally belonged to her mother, Parker and her family made several attempts to recover it. Her 13-year-old granddaughter even threw on a pair of swimming goggles and searched the lake for nearly an hour, but to no avail.

香蕉视频直播淲e had no luck at all,香蕉视频直播� said Parker, a grandmother of 10. 香蕉视频直播淢y husband said there was no way we would find it, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.香蕉视频直播�

In a last ditch attempt, Parker posted a plea for help on the Colwood Community Facebook page, and coming to her rescue was View Royal resident Craig Shotton, a 香蕉视频直播減rofessional hobbying香蕉视频直播� detectorist.

Shotton offered to travel to Lookout Lake that same morning to search for the ring with his metal detector.

香蕉视频直播淚 really was shocked 香蕉视频直播� that some stranger would be kind enough to spend part of their Sunday and go out to look for it,香蕉视频直播� said Parker.

An experienced detectorist of five years, this isn香蕉视频直播檛 the first time Shotton has come to the aid of a distressed local. He香蕉视频直播檚 had previous success in two other searches and also lists a gold American coin from the 1880s, worth an estimated $2,000, and a Spanish coin from 1827 among his personal discoveries. 

So before arriving at the lake, Shotton said that he felt 80 per cent confident that he could find the ring. But when he saw the 香蕉视频直播渃loudy香蕉视频直播� lake and realized that he would be wading in water up to four-feet deep, the chances of a find dropped to 40 per cent.

Despite the odds stacked against him, Shotton and his trusty metal detector persisted with the search, ignoring false alarms such as a lead fishing weight and a drinks can ring-pull. 

However, as time crept on, he became less optimistic and decided to call it a day, but then Shotton struck gold, quite literally.

香蕉视频直播淚t took me maybe three or four tries to scoop it out of the water, but when I raised the scoop out of the water, there was an absolutely huge yellow gold band sitting on top of the gravel,香蕉视频直播� said Shotton. 香蕉视频直播淚 couldn香蕉视频直播檛 believe I found it. I handed it to Deborah香蕉视频直播檚 daughter, Annalise, who was there helping me and she was in tears almost immediately.香蕉视频直播�

Parker was reunited with the ring later that day.

香蕉视频直播淭o me, it was a miracle,香蕉视频直播� said Parker. 香蕉视频直播淚 was really shocked 香蕉视频直播� I had a little cry.香蕉视频直播�

About his good deed, Shotton said it felt 香蕉视频直播渁mazing香蕉视频直播� to help. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 hard to describe the joy of bringing happiness to somebody like that,香蕉视频直播� said Shotton.

A couple of days later the pair met so Parker could properly thank Shotton.

香蕉视频直播淗e was wonderful, and his wife Michele was wonderful too, and I gave them a hug,香蕉视频直播� said Parker. 香蕉视频直播淚've told him that if he ever needs anything to call me. And my husband香蕉视频直播檚 a retired electrical contractor, so he香蕉视频直播檚 offered his help if ever Craig needs any electrical things fixed.香蕉视频直播�

The feel-good story has captured the hearts of the community who have praised Shotton香蕉视频直播檚 kindness.

香蕉视频直播淣ot all heroes wear capes, is one of the comments that I saw on Facebook,香蕉视频直播� said Parker.
