Against all odds, a Colwood woman has been 91裸聊视频渕iraculously91裸聊视频� reunited with her wedding ring after losing it in Lookout Lake.

For over two weeks, Deborah Parker91裸聊视频檚 gold ring lay lost among the stones and the weeds at the bottom of the 91裸聊视频渕urky91裸聊视频� 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.

91裸聊视频淲e had no luck at all,91裸聊视频� said Parker, a grandmother of 10. 91裸聊视频淢y husband said there was no way we would find it, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.91裸聊视频�

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 91裸聊视频減rofessional hobbying91裸聊视频� detectorist.

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

91裸聊视频淚 really was shocked 91裸聊视频� that some stranger would be kind enough to spend part of their Sunday and go out to look for it,91裸聊视频� said Parker.

An experienced detectorist of five years, this isn91裸聊视频檛 the first time Shotton has come to the aid of a distressed local. He91裸聊视频檚 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 91裸聊视频渃loudy91裸聊视频� 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.

91裸聊视频淚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,91裸聊视频� said Shotton. 91裸聊视频淚 couldn91裸聊视频檛 believe I found it. I handed it to Deborah91裸聊视频檚 daughter, Annalise, who was there helping me and she was in tears almost immediately.91裸聊视频�

Parker was reunited with the ring later that day.

91裸聊视频淭o me, it was a miracle,91裸聊视频� said Parker. 91裸聊视频淚 was really shocked 91裸聊视频� I had a little cry.91裸聊视频�

About his good deed, Shotton said it felt 91裸聊视频渁mazing91裸聊视频� to help. 91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 hard to describe the joy of bringing happiness to somebody like that,91裸聊视频� said Shotton.

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

91裸聊视频淗e was wonderful, and his wife Michele was wonderful too, and I gave them a hug,91裸聊视频� said Parker. 91裸聊视频淚've told him that if he ever needs anything to call me. And my husband91裸聊视频檚 a retired electrical contractor, so he91裸聊视频檚 offered his help if ever Craig needs any electrical things fixed.91裸聊视频�

The feel-good story has captured the hearts of the community who have praised Shotton91裸聊视频檚 kindness.

91裸聊视频淣ot all heroes wear capes, is one of the comments that I saw on Facebook,91裸聊视频� said Parker.
