Fishing the canal on Tuesday 3/4 of the way towards the highway bridge on the east side . As I ended the evening fishing and on my way back to the truck I had to climb up the bank . I kept slipping down the clay as I tried to get up the slimy bank .I fell pretty hard the first time . I think that's where my Grandfathers RCAF wings he gave me before passing . It was a good luck charm I wore in honor of my grand pappy . If anyone finds it could you please please please email me . markn461@telus.net

Did some river cleanup in that area yesterday, did not see them, will look again today but I imagine you have been back looking.

Thanks Chris , I was there around 5:30 till dark Tuesday evening . I have not gone back to have a look yet . I am in Cloverdale so its a bit of a jaunt to go back untill maybe Friday after work . The spot I was , there is a long log that looks like a bench on the upper side of that bank is where I was .

Thank you gentlemen very much . I really appreciate your assistance and I hope for it to be found . Especially before Remembrance day . I will be sad if it doesn't turn up before then . Grand paps might appaer in the middle of the night and smack me silly .

Looked yesterday, I think I was in the right area. Lots of beaten down grass. A metal detector may be the way to go as has been suggested above.

Dont go rent a metal detector. Just go to Canadian Tire and buy one, use it, and return it. As long as you dont trash it, you can return it no problem. Big companies like Canadian Tire just write off the return to corporate, the store itself doesn't give a crap. In fact, a lot of things are simply thrown out by the store once its returned for this very reason. My friend gets free stuff out of the dumpster at the CT he works at all the time - even stuff like an electric ATV winch, that worked perfectly fine. Walmart is no different, my dad hauls their bins and has come across countless useful things, such as the 5-gallon air compressor he moved out of the bin and into the cab of his truck. lol

This one seems to have very good reviews and there are lots of questions - seems it'll find a dime 8-10" underground. That should work for your wings, even if you buried them in some clay when you feel.

Good Luck!

You are not a good example for a F.W.R. member

Why not?  Because large corporations don't care about returns I am the bad guy?  This is the best reason to shop big box stores- when you have an issue you know it will dealt with promptly.

It's hardly different than buying something and deciding after one use its not what you wanted. Finding wings is more important than corporates bottom line

I offered him the use of mine but as of yet have not heard from him?
