Lost Ring Found after Father passed away @ Bondi Beach

1 week ago

MICHAEL OLIVER from LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY Metal Detecting Services 0434 985 992 has been called out to many Beaches this week, in search for lost sun glasses, lost mobile phone, lost gold chains and lost wedding rings. Bondi Beach, Coogee Beach, Shelly Beach, Bronte Beach, Maroubra Beach, Avalon Beach and Whale Beach are just a few beaches I've detected this week. Today I get the call from a distressed owner who has just lost his wedding ring 40 metres out into the water on Bondi Beach, the ring was given to him by his father who passed away a few years ago, this ring was in fact his fathers wedding ring. I spoke with the owner reassuring him NOT to worry mate, I will find your lost ring. 40 minutes later I arrive on the beach, with over 10,000 people on Bondi beach today I thought this was going to be difficult to metal detect, until the owner said ( I did not swim between the flags, I swam in the rip) the good news is I will not be metal detecting over 100 swimmers haha!! the BAD news is rips are well known to move lost rings due to the strong current. I set up my search with the XP Deus ll metal detector extending the search area to 20 metres long, the first 2 hours I got I find a few bottle caps now 3 hours into the search my shoulders are burning from metal detecting in the strong current bends my metal detector shaft it's that strong!! BINGO I get the first quality T.ID reading on my metal detector feeling confident this is the owners lost ring, I wait for the set of waves to come through as finding the ring is the easy part digging it without losing it in the surf is the next challenge. With over 1,000 lost jewellery recoveries under my belt I feel confident in even the most challenging surf conditions I have not lost a ring yet and today will not be the first. pulling the shovel from the sand I watch the sand sift through my shovel holes and the glimmer of gold is revealed, I scream out in relief after a long 3 hours I got that little bugger!! Surf life savers come over to congratulate the find as I look in the distance the owner and his wife are running out into the water his wife was so excited jumping clear out of the water saying Thank You Michael THANK YOU!! we head back into shore together where it's safe to hand over the lost ring. The Owner was beyond words saying (Michael we knew you will find it you are so precise as we watched you metal detect hour after hour, your physical endurance in the surf is impressive to see)
