3 rings lost at Burleigh Beach

5 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. Another smiling face for Lost Jewellery Recovery

Felix Reunited with Grandma's 80yr Old Chain @ Nielsen Park

5 months ago

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

3 months 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.

Michael Oliver from LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY Metal Detecting services 0434 985 992 has been travelling up and down the coast all week finding lost mobile phones underwater, lost gold chain, Gold wedding rings, Apple watches both on land in parks and yards to diving the ocean and rivers for lost items for owners. This week I have had 100% SUCCESS on every recovery thanks to the innovation process of how I perform lost jewellery recoveries. I always think of new ways searches can be performed with both effectively and speedy helping more people in a day than ever before!! This week i've been called out to whale Beach for a wedding ring, found it. Coogee beach for a lost signet ring at 11:00 at night in the water, found it. Milk Beach for a gold chain, found it. Cronulla Beach for a mobile phone, found it. I just had a call from the owners husband explaining how his wife lost her engagement ring. It was lost 7 days ago right on the tide line after we just had a storm smash through our coast line. I explained to the owner 7 days lost engagement ring on a tide line after a storm could be tricky to find BUT not impossible!! Having no time to waste, I met the owner the night he called. 30 minutes later we are on Congwong beach together he explained where his wife was sitting and her movements near the water. I asked if the sand on the beach looked the same as last week? he said NO its all changed!! this was what I feared, that sand was dumped on top of the ring burying it out of detection depth!! I set up my XP deus ll metal detector increased the sensitivity and a few other things to max out the depth on my metal detector. 10 minutes into the search i"m digging a few bottle caps, the tide is coming up I enter the waters edge as the ring could have been dragged into the ocean after 7 days who knows where it could be now!! Now about 20 minutes into the search I get a T.ID reading in the 60"s it's looking pretty good, its about 4 inches deep. I pin point the target and start to dig, on the second scoop down i pull out the target just as I pull back the sand we all see this GLIMMER of GOLD and DIAMONDS!! everyones on there mobile phones filming and jumping in excitement we found it!! you bloody legend Michael we were losing hope but you found mate THANK YOU!!

I said if it's there I will find it. the owner felt confident in my advice and booked me into search the next day. now on location at Chowder Bay in Sydney the owner gave me an estimate on where they think the ring is lost. I set up my XP Deus ll metal detector to perform the search underwater. first 5 minutes into the search i have already found 3 bottle caps, I explained this search area is full of trash which will slow down my search. Thats ok I've dedicated the day to find your ring if thats what it takes to find it! now 30 minutes into the search I get a strong shallow T.ID reading I look up at the owners saying I HAVE A GOOID SIGNAL but it could be a coin. I felt pretty confident this is the ring.

$3,000 Ring Returned to Basket Ball Player @ Frenchman's Bay

1 month ago

MICHAEL OLIVER from LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY Metal Detecting Services 0434 985 992 has been on the hunt day and night 24/7 this last week has been busy with lost rings and lost i phones underwater!! from Woollongong Beach, Coogee beach, Whale Beach, Brighton Le Sands, Cronulla Beach, Bondi Beach, Milk Beach, Shelly Beach, Parramatta River and the list goes on!! recovering over $30,000 in lost treasures for owners this past 2 weeks👍 Today I get the call from an Owner who has lost his wedding ring at Frenchman's Bay Sydney. After speaking on the phone, the owner made it clear his ring was lost in the water at chest deep. I met with the owner at location within the hour, Normally chest deep water is fine, my BIGGEST mistake is that I did not expect the owner to be 7ft tall, so chest deep on him means a dive system for me haha 😂 luckily the tide was going out, I set up my grid search explaining I'll chase the tide out this will allow me to be in chest deep water myself and moving into deeper water as the tide drops off. Using my XP Deus ll Metal detector 15 minutes into the search i have found a 20 cent coin and 2 bottle caps I explain to the owner this is not a trashy search area meaning i'll find your ring sooner rather than later. 40 minutes into the search I get this high T.ID reading into the 80's and she is shallow!! I scream out to the owner THIS COULD BE IT!! a crowd of people close in on me as I start to dig the target, on the first scoop she is in the shovel, we all watch the sand sift from the shovel and BINGO this glimmer of GOLD is in the shovel and the crowd goes wild everyone jumping for joy, Michael how did you know this was the ring?? well after finding well over 1,000 rings through out the years I can guess most targets in my scoop before I even dig them now. The owner was so excited to have his wedding ring back, I asked how your partner felt when you lost it and he said well she was not impressed I explained thats ok mate, it's a natural reaction it was never lost you knew where it was so it was just misplaced for a moment.

Valuable Engagement ring Returned to Owner

MICHAEL OLIVER from LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY Metal Detecting services 0434 985 992 has been on the hunt day and night this week reuniting lost jewellery with owners❤️ I've had calls from Coogee Beach, Maroubra beach, Bondi Beach, Shelly Beach, Bronte Beach, Bulli Beach, Palm Beach, the Nepean River, Georges River for lost i phone and the list goes on👍👍 Today I receive a call from this young mother of 2 who unfortunately lost her engagement ring the night before. After searching her small yard for hours and giving up hope on finding her ring alone she jumped onto the internet and found LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY. After I spoke with her it seemed like a straight forward recovery, however garden jobs are normally more tricky then even my underwater searches as there are normally large metal structures like fences I need to navigate around which is easily done for me. I was on location with in the hour, the young woman was very happy to see me and asked what are the chances of finding my lost ring, I replied its simple, IF IT'S THERE I WILL FIND IT!! she then explained her movements in the yard and made it clear she felt the ring slip off her finger, when i hear these words I know i will find it. Setting up my XP Deus ll Metal Detector with my Quest X-Pointer Pro Pin Pointer I set up my grid and start the search, in the first 10 minutes i find a few lolly wrappers from the kids. Now 20 minutes into the search i get a clear T.ID reading in the 70's, I first thought it's metal in the leg of the wood table, I detect the other leg and no signal, I ask the owner to come over and check this out!! I pull out my Pin Pointer to locate the target and BINGO!! just between the blades of the grass we spot the glimmer of gold and diamonds, she jumps up in EXCITEMENT and said how did we miss that we searched right here for hours and Michael you find it in minutes!! THANK YOU MICHAEL!! I can see what you mean when you said it will just hide between the grass blades, you have an amazing job I don't know how you have the patients to do this everyday, it was nerve racking for me last night. You really have to love metal detecting to do this SUCCESSFULLY FULL-TIME!! and I LOVE IT❤️

Heirloom pendant Tallebudgeera

2 weeks ago

I received a message from Tom to say he needed help finding a very precious heirloom pendant his partner had lost at Tallebudgera dog park on the Gold Coast. I met them on site and they explained that they had walked a long way to the activity area where they had played with their dog for a while, then walked back to their car and his partner had jumped up and down on the kerb to get grass off her shoes. She then noticed her chain had fallen out of the bottom of her jacket. In a panic she searched for the 3 pendants that had been on it and could not find them anywhere. In tears she went back to the agility area searching everywhere and sent Tom out to buy a metal detector. When he got back, they realised it was too hard for them so they called the professionals at Lost Jewellery Recovery. The precious gold and diamond pendant was the only thing she had inherited from her late grandmother. I thoroughly searched the area where they had parked and then we went to the area where they played with their dog. At one stage, the dog had jumped up on her and I suggested we start the search there and work our way methodically out from this area. I put my cones and pegs out ready to search and asked if they could move my marker pegs as I went. That way, we could cover as much ground as possible with it being such a large search area. I swung my coil 3 times and got a little signal, I could not believe it when I pulled up her grandmother’s pendant, within 5 minutes, I had all 3 in her hand and the tears and hugs were flowing. Sometimes miracles do happen
