I have been metal detecting/prospecting for over twenty years and have become proficient with using high end equipment. I use only the state of the art modern metal detectors in my Metal Detecting services . This means that I am able to search in most locations. Whether it is the beach, the surf, parks or garden. My equipment is waterproof and therefor able to be used in most environments.
Harry and his mates were down from the Canberra region enjoying a bit of a "coasties" break, when he lost his one and only car key on the beach at Malua, the previous day. They were in a bit of trouble as they had to drive home on Monday and had no means of transport. Harry's mum contacted me and I was able to detect his key in the soft sand. Needless to say much to the relief of Harry and his buddies. Have fun and stay safe boys.
Geoff was down in Batemans Bay for a few days. He dropped his Wedding ring in the surf on one of our beautiful beaches. Before he was able to retrieve it, it became covered in sand. He hired a metal detector but was unable to find it so he rang me from Sydney this morning. After about an hour of searching I was able to detect it in knee high water. This wedding band is now on its way back to its owner. A big thank you to Geoff for reaching out to Lost Rings Finder.

Monika and her fiancé Earl were at the Beach having a pre-wedding photo shoot. Monika felt her beautiful diamond engagement ring fall from her finger into the water. Naturally they were devastated, not only for the value of the ring but the fact that Earl had designed it and had it custom made. I got the call from Detect A Den about the loss and drove to Mckenzies Beach. Fortunately they had placed markers on the sand for the approximate location, and we were soon able to reunite Monika with her engagement ring.
Chloe was holidaying from Victoria at Potato Point, and lost her signet ring in the soft sand. I got the call and was able to locate it for her. Here's wishing Chloe and her family a great summer holiday on our beautiful coast. If you or anybody you know loses a something of value on the beach this summer message or call me.
Got a call this morning from this young man. Whilst walking his dog on the beach he had needed to jump over a stream of water draining into the sea and later realized that his iPhone had fallen from his pocket. Fortunately it was waterproof. After a few minutes searching in a downpour I was able to locate it covered by about an inch of sand. The phone contained precious family photos so he was relieved to have it returned.
I got a call regarding two lost rings on South Durras Beach this afternoon. I was actually in Broulee so it took me some time to make my way there. When I arrived I met Estelle and she described how they had been lost. As you can imagine she was very upset at the thought of these precious items being gone forever. These kind of recoveries generally take only a few minutes to find, however these two rings proved to be a little elusive. It wasn't until my second gridding of the area that I was able to detect them. The rings had sunk to about 75mm into the soft dry sand so it is easy to see how they can quickly disappear out of sight. Quick thankyou to Ray at https://www.detectaden.com.au/ who informed Estelle of my services. What a great afternoon.
Something a little different from recovering Jewellery. This Garmin watch was lost in the soft sand when it fell out of a bag. I spoke with the wife of the gentleman who lost the watch on the beach but was unable to detect the area due to the crowd of people (Australia Day). Fortunately it began to rain later in the day and I was able to search the area and find the watch two days after it was dropped. The sand being so dry due to the hot weather, and possible foot traffic, had caused the watch to sink about 100mm deep. Got to love smiling faces.
Got a call from Maria this morning. She was on Mckenzies Beach with her family. Her daughter Carmen (pictured) had lost a gold pendant when it dropped from the chain around her neck. She also dropped a crucifix which they were able to find. However the pendant had sunk deeper into the soft sand. Fortunately they were able to give me a good location to search and using state of the art detecting technology I was able to retrieve it for them. A big thank you to the Estanillo family for letting me bring some joy into their life. I love doing this.
Got a call from Jo and Marguerite who are holidaying at Mollymook. Jo took his platinum wedding ring off for safe keeping and lost it in the soft sand.
Another successful diamond ring rescue. Cop a look at the size of that rock. No wonder she was happy.
Cameron was holidaying at Werri Beach, Gerringong with a group of friends. He was wearing a unique gold ring, a family heirloom, which had been given to him by his Grandmother. Whilst throwing a football he felt the ring slip from his finger into the soft dry sand. He and his friends searched for the ring but were unable to find it. He contacted me and I made the drive to meet him and recover it. Needless to say he and his friends were delighted and I hope they enjoyed the remainder of the Kings Birthday long weekend.
Emily was taking a well earned break at Mollymook beach. When she lost her beautiful diamond ring 💍 in the sand. She contacted me but unfortunately had to wait for me to finish work before I could get to go and help. She did the right thing and isolated the area, and didn’t dig ferociously which can cause rings to bury deeper. She knew not to do this after watching my mate Michael Oliver on an episode of “Bondi Rescue”. As can be seen from the broad smiles I was able to reunite her with the beautiful ring. Gee I love doing this!
It's stories like these that encourage me to keep offering my jewellery rescue service. Gabe's Grandfather had recently passed. He was bequeathed his signet ring, which he wore with pride in loving memory. Whilst holidaying at Broulee he decided to take a quick dip in Candalagan Creek. Being mindful of the possibility of the ring falling off in the water he removed it and gave it to a relative to look after. Unfortunately whilst also looking after his young son the ring was dropped and lost. Gabe posted regarding the loss on Ring Rescue and Beach detecting South Coast NSW. I contacted him, and he sent me a location pin on a Google map. So with my headlamp fully charged I headed down to the spot and after about an hour search I was able to recover the precious heirloom. It makes me wonder whether in years to come the same ring will be worn by Gabe's young son. Please contact me on 0407533492 if you or someone you know loses a precious item of jewellery.
