  We performed an automated comparison of the FIRST radio survey with the APM
optical catalog to find radio lobes with optical counterparts. Based on an
initial survey covering ~3000 square degrees, we selected a sample of 33 lens
candidates for VLA confirmation. VLA and optical observations of these
candidates yielded two lens systems, one a new discovery (J0816+5003), and one
of which was previously known (J1549+3047). Two other candidates have radio
lobes with galaxies superposed, but lack evidence of multiple imaging. One of
our targets (J0958+2947) is a projected close pair of quasars (8'' separation
at redshifts 2.064 and 2.744). Our search method is highly efficient, with >5%
of our observing targets being lensed, compared to the usual success rate of
<1%. Using the whole FIRST survey, we expect to find 5--10 lenses in short
order using this approach, and the sample could increase to hundreds of lensed
lobes in the Northern sky, using deeper optical surveys and planned upgrades to
the VLA. Such a sample would be a powerful probe of galaxy structure and
evolution.
