4 days ago
MICHAEL OLIVER from LOST JEWELLERY RECOVERY Metal Detecting Services 0434 985 992 has been on the run up and down the coast line day and night finding and reuniting lost treasures with owners 24/7. A lost phone on Whale Beach, 2 gold wedding rings on Balmoral Beach, Apple Watch on Bondi Beach, lost car keys on Maroubra Beach and a lost gold ring in a rock pool in Woollongong. The other night I get a call from a man who has been married for over 20 years and has just lost his wedding ring at Manly Beach, not sure what to do at first he begun to search the area on his hands and knees hoping to uncover his lost wedding ring. After an hour searching he realised it's impossible without a metal detector. A quick search on google he found our website and gave me a call. The search was booked in I was there that night, now with the owner I asked what happened and what he did exactly as owners searching for rings can accidentally move them out of the search area or worst case bury them deeper!! The owner was pretty worried as he explained he has been married for over 20 years, I reassured him and said noworries mate your ring is here and I will find it and you will remain married for at least another 20 years, remember happy wife happy life!! I set up my XP Deus ll metal detector grid off the search area and begin my search, right next to the toilet block this search was most difficult with all sorts of building material being dug up in the gold T.ID range, I said don't worry mate this might take a bit of time to dig through the trash but your ring is here and i'm not leaving till it's found!! 20 minutes into the search i've found bottle tops screws, nails and nuts no ring yet and the search area was searched, the owner becomes worried as we have not found his lost wedding ring. I said no worries mate this is normal it's not always where you think it is. Now I simply expand the search area, 15 minutes later finding more screws and nuts found, then I get one T.ID reading and she's SURFACE TARGET!! I let the owner know he can start filming he said how do you know it's it? I said the T.ID reading looks good but I could be wrong, starting up his camera I begin to wipe the sand away, just an inch beneath the surface a glimmer of gold is revealed and the owner EXPLODES in excitement catching it all on his phone he gives me a big hug saying thank you Michael you bloody legend!! how did you know? I said after finding 1,000's of rings over the years I just get that feeling. Most target I know what they are before I dig them, however it's most important to dig every target!! you don't know 100% till you dig it!!
Expensive Watch Goes For A Dip In The Murky Waters
4 days ago
Mark was walking around his tied off boat and grabbed a fixture for balance. It was then the fixture broke off and Mark started to fall off of his boat. During the fall, his watched snagged on something and the band broke while still on his wrist causing Mark's arm to be injured. Mark called me shortly after crawling back out of the mucky stinky waters below to see if finding watches underwater was something I do for people. Of course! I loaded my gear and headed his way to Pine Knoll Shores, NC. My first target in the water was part of Mark's watch band. I knew the remainder of his watch must be nearby and after a few more minutes, I was able to pull his watch out of the soft muddy bottom below#beaufortnc #thecrystalcoast #xpfinds #lostjewelleryrecovery #boguebanks #pineknollshores
Emerald Isle- Removed Ring Before Swimming Becomes Lost And Found Hours Later
4 days ago
Walker was spending time with his wife at the beach and removed his wedding band before braving the Atlantic ocean waters. When time came to leave, they packed up their gear and left. It was then Walker realized he was not wearing his wedding band of 2 years. Walker called and I explained it would be great if he could stick around a few more minutes to show me exactly where they had spent time on the beach. Upon arrival, Walker showed me an area of about 20x20 feet and I began my search. After one pass, I turned and started to return and received a foil signal and just next to it a very powerful signal on my XP Deus II metal detector. I told Walker that I felt this was his ring and I then kneeled down and sifted his ring from the sand with my hand using a electronic pinpointer.#beaufortnc #thecrystalcoast #xpfinds #lostjewelleryrecovery #boguebanks #emeraldislenc
