3 rings lost at Burleigh Beach
2 months ago
Maria was enjoying a nice afternoon at Burleigh Beach while on holiday from Melbourne. She took off her four precious gold rings and tucked them into the corner of her towel while she swam. They were very special as her Mother had given her. After a nice swim, she came up, grabbed her towel, and flicked it before drying herself. She had forgotten about the rings and then desperately searched, but was only able to find one. In tears, she searched the internet and found Lost Jewellery Recoveries and I got the call. I was there within half an hour and she had the other 3 in her hands in less than 10 minutes. She was so greatful as losing the rings would have been a very traumatic call to her Mother.

MICHAEL OLIVER from LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY Metal Detecting Services 0434 985 992 has been flat out metal detecting all over Sydney returning lost treasures to owners from Wollongong to the Central Coast and everywhere in between. From Christmas eve performing many recoveries to Christmas day I was Diving the Parramatta River for a Lost iPhone 16 pro, Underwater metal detecting Manly Beach for a lost wedding ring found within the hour, 2 rings on Coogee beach Found in 5 minutes, 1 very tricky gold chain on Bondi Beach I had to dig into my metal detectors settings as this chain was buried deeper in the soft sand to find this little bugger. Christmas Eve I get a call from the owner Felix who lost his Grand mothers 80yr old silver chain at Neilsen Park while swimming the day before. Felix feared he lost his chain the day before that it will be gone forever. I explained there is that possibility however in my years of doing this in this particular location at the water depth you lost it I feel more than confident your chain is here and still within metal detection range. I meet Felix the first thing on Christmas Eve morning, all geared up with my metal detector I hit the water. 10 minutes into the search I dig a few pull tabs and a 10c coin, the wakes from the boat traffic start to concern me as it creates a shore break with a lot of sand movement. Roughly 20 minutes into the search I get a Great T.ID reading on my XP Deus ll, its 45+ a bit low for a silver ring however in the range of a silver chain that I am looking for. The first dig I missed it, it's just a bit deeper in the sand on the second scoop BINGO I see this beautiful glimmer of a silver chain, I reach down into the scoop as the sand falls through the holes exposing the whole chain. Picking up the chain I raise it from the water Felix the owner on shore see's his lost chain in my hand and he was instantly in shock thinking he will cut his loss and the chain is gone forever. I run up to Felix and ask does this chain look familiar mate? Felix replied you legend we thought no way its gone forever how did you find it so fast!! this is what I do and to be honest you Felix put me in the right search area is the reason you still have the memories of your grandmother with you. Thank you Michael, you are most welcome Felix remember if you or your friends or family ever lose anything I'm just a call away, on land or underwater I can find it mate.

Michael Oliver from LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY Metal Detecting Services 0434 985 992 has been metal detecting day and night both underwater and on land recovering lost wedding rings a bunch of lost mobile phones this week have also been dropped in the DRINK!! one of these phones was in 7 metres of water for 2 days and yes, she still works. Mobile phones dropped in water acturally work like new, especially all the newer phones with waterproof capabilities. I've been called out to Wollongong's most beautiful beaches to find lost wedding rings, Coogee Beach to find a lost apple watch, Whale Beach to find a men's wedding ring, Milk Beach to find another men's wedding ring lost underwater, Maroubra Beach to find a surfers car keys he buried in the sand while surfing. I just got the call from a young lady who just lost her Engagement ring on Bondi Beach, After Speaking with her over the phone we met up on Bondi Beach within the hour, Now on location i'm armed with my XP Deus ll metal detector with the new HF2 coil this metal detector set up is a WEAPON nothing can hide from me. This metal detector with 100% SUCCESS RATES this week!! after speaking with the owner I decided to make the search area larger given the information provided required the increase. Now 15 minutes into the search and a few bottle caps found, I'm now 4 grid lines into the search. As I continue to dig some tiny metal aluminium targets I get a beautiful clear T.ID reading and even better the detector is telling me it's a surface target!! I reach down with my pin pointer and before my pin pointer even touches the sand it starts to ring!! I look up at the owner as she see's the smile on my face asking DID YOU FIND MY RING?? I replied I'm not sure BUT I think it's your ring come watch me did her up. Moving just 2 cm of sand away and BINGO I'm on the GOLD!! the owner jumps in excitement giving me a big hug just as her husband came down just in time to see the ring they both thought was gone forever is now back on his wife's finger where it belongs. I love metal detecting this hobby has been my full time career for well over 10 years now, I started metal detecting at the age of 10 and I will continue to find and reunite lost wedding rings till I'm 100 or a big fish picks me from the ocean either way i'm here to stay, if you lose I can find it, in the water or on the sand I'll get it back to you!!
$3000 Cartier Ring Returned to Owner @ Coogee Beach
2 weeks ago
Michael Oliver from LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY Metal Detecting Services 0434 985 992 has recently recovered over $100,000 in gold Bullion and Jewellery buried under an old house just weeks before the owners put it on market, I've had another 2 mobile phones dropped in the drink (ocean) this week both phones are still working. 1 mens ring lost on Bulli Beach Wollongong Found, 1 Ladies wedding ring lost in Whale Beach rock pool I found for her. 2 rings on Bondi beach I got back to the owners. Red Leaf Pools found a gold chain for the owner, it's been a wild week of metal Detecting. Last night I received a call out from a young lady clearly stressed as she just told me she had lost her $3000 Cartier ring a gift from her mother is now at the bottom of the ocean at Coogee Beach. The owner said she was hit by a wave and the ring slipped off her finger. I was concerned if I wait till tomorrow morning the surf conditions will swallow the ring and be lost forever, I explained this will be a difficult search as we have lost the day light however IF IT'S THERE I WILL FIND IT!!. I meet up with the owner within the hour of her call on Coogee Beach the light is fading, I explain the metal detecting search process and how I will perform this particular search without any LIGHTS successfully. I will be performing a grid search with my XP Deus ll metal detector the most difficult part of this search is I will be forced into the surfs breakers for at least 2 grid lines this will put my gear and my body to the test as I begin my search behind the waves breaks its smooth sailing, Now 1 hour into the search I move into the waves breakers, every 5 seconds being smashed by waves I find the first ring it's now pitch dark I return to shore asking the owner is that your ring, she looked very excited turned on a light and said OH NO it's NOT my ring!! she then asked if I'm ok your being smashed by the waves and you are freezing cold, should we call off the search Michael? I said NO WAY I'm only getting closer to your lost ring with each grid line I do, it's crazy to give up now!! After 2 hours of metal detecting my metal detector is low on battery as I've already metal detected for 8 hours earlier that day I get the last good signal and just my luck my metal detector battery dies, I freaked out. I stood in place being hit by waves for a few seconds then I turn on my metal detector, it has a short spark of battery left I dig that target as fast as possible and BINGO its a ring but it's too dark for me to see it. I run back to shore the owner is excited as she runs to me with her light on and looks into my scoop and she screams out with joy Michael you found my ring!! I can't believe it, you were out there for hours in pitch dark waters how do you do it, my partner and I watched you the whole time at first my partner Lucas said I could what he does, as we continued to watch you being smashed by waves for hours Lucas turned to me and said no way this guy is a machine he gets smashed by waves in the dark and does not move an inch he's clearly dedicated and knows what he is doing!! he will find the ring I know it, this blokes inspiring to watch metal detecting. I want to thank you both, these recoveries put my metal detecting skills to the test as surf recoveries are some of the most difficult to perform, to be honest the easiest part is finding the rings the most difficult part is digging them without the surf smashing them out of my scoop. I've performed well over 1,000 recoveries many of which for lost rings in the surf to which have been SUCCESSFUL.
