6 days ago

Michael Oliver from LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY Metal Detecting Services 0434 985 992 has been called out to many recoveries this week from Milk Beach for a lost phone underwater, Bronte Beach for a lost wedding ring, lost car keys at Narrabeen Beach, Diving the Parramatta river for a lost watch and today I received a call from Coogee Beach for a lost Diamond ring worth over $20,000 the owner explained she lost it while swimming in 5 feet of water on the mid tide rising, I wanted to rush out right away but experience with Coogee beach I cannot dive it as the tide is rising. I'm feeling frustrated as the tide is too high to search now in 7 feet of water, I explain not to worry I will be there first thing in the morning on the low tide. The owner gave me a rough idea of the search area, unfortunately she could not be there to help as she was out of the state on holiday. I got down to Coogee Beach with ONLY a rough idea of the search area. I used my experience and watched other swimmers on their movements in the water along with the information provided by the owner, I set up my grid search and turned on my XP Deus ll metal detector. I take the search out into deeper water on the low tide this will be further out than the owner was swimming. That's ok as I set up the grid and metal detecting back into the shallow waters. This search is going to be bigger than expected as I prefer to make search grids larger when owners are NOT sure this way it Guarantees I will find the ring. 5 minutes into the search I found 1 bottle cap, it's pretty clean in the water. Now 10 minutes into the search I find a crusty old 20 cent coin on the second grid line, after finding more coins I feel I'm bang smack in the drop zone. Now 4 grid lines in on the 40 minute mark I get a great T.ID reading on my metal detector Feeling pretty confident I dig the target and watch the sand sift through my shovel underwater and BINGO I see this beautiful glimmer of gold and diamonds looking up at me, reaching down to grab the ring before a wave hits me I jump out of the water screaming we got it!! a few swimmers watching me search came over congratulating me saying (mate I did not think you could find it, WOW that's an amazing job you did) I told the swimmers that's exactly what the owner thought I would not find her ring as she could only provide a rough estimate of the search area most people thought this was IMPOSSIBLE. I simply came out expecting to spend up to 6 hours in the water and started my metal detecting search in the deeper waters on the low tide and blew out the search area 3 times bigger, it was IMPOSSIBLE for me to NOT find the lost ring is how I see it. GO BIG OR GO HOME haha 😂 if it's there, I will find it!!
