Jewellery Rescue Metal Detector Hire

The perfect Treasure map

Marking the physical search area from the treasure map I began grid searching. Within 10 minutes searching I heard the familiar beep a cry for rescue from someone’s gold ring found precisely in the search area.  This ring wasn’t ”some one’s” as it had the names of Mr Stephane and his wife, name neatly engraved on the inside band. The outside of the ring had a lovely unique pattern, so interesting seeing all the  different  designs. After admiring the ring I zipped it into a secure pouch so it wouldn’t be dropped and lost again. Ring secured, I texted  Stephane the good news, but before I could put the phone in my pocket a well spoken gentlman called out my name from the nearby beach access path. Wonder how  he knew it was me? No doubt the metal detector in hand tipped him off. I asked him if  he read the text message I just sent? He said no, as I handed him his wedding band. “No way! you found it already?   Thank you, and my wife thanks you. I told him how I threw some coins in the ocean for luck and  luck was given.  As there were ominous signs beach sweeper tracks over this part of the beach as well.  Stephane gave me some great advice for my web site which I thank him for as well as the very generous reward for the swift safe return of his ring.  I don’t think you could meet a nicer person with a little old world charm in a young face.

So the search began where Jan best thought she saw the  ring hit the fronds  of a particularly large birds nest fern.  The search  area wasn’t particularly big but moving the metal detector search coil through brush is a tricky task at times. I moved the  metal detector around,  inside  and up the fronds of the huge ferns.  As they are designed to catch leaaves why not rings I reasoned.  But not this time.  About 30 minutes into the search I had pretty much covered the ground twice and  apart from the normal assortment of non gold metal items found, there was no sign of the Diamond ring.    Standing in the middle of  the garden looking back at the balcony I was thinking that there were a couple of trees in the possible rings flight path which had lovely ferns growing in the forks of the branches.  Ferns were also tied on the sides of the trees.  So on a hunch, I started waving my metal detector in the air up and down the trees over my head.  The look on Dennis’s face watching  my unexpected tree search was basically one of disbelief .  lol   At  first the metal detector picked up the metal wire holding the ferns in place on the tree, but then at extreme range there was a second beep, this beep was a strong and very positive gold reading.  I asked  Dennis if  he had a ladder, I think he  found me the ladder just to humor me somewhat.  So there I was waving the detector all around a tree Approx 2 meters above the ground.  While waiting for the ladder, I targeted the gold signal somewhere in the fork of the tree.  I swapped the metal detector for the pinpointer close work and ease of climbing  the ladder to find the source of the  signal.  Now up the ladder looking down on the tree fern in  the tree fork  I didn’t need the  pinpointer.  There in plain sight,  was the ring.  Sitting sparkling in the sun nestled in the fern.  Handing  the engagement ring down to Dennis was a  great feeling and hearing him call out to Jan  “he found it” - ”Tony found it in the tree”.  Jan who was on the balcony replied   “what!!  no! I dont  believe it.”   If I hadn’t been there I might not have believed it either.  This is the sort of story parents will tell their children if they want them to grow up to be expert metal detectorists.  The moral of this story is if you see me searching  for your lost jewellery away from the “target  area “  humour me as I will go the extra lengths to find your jewellery too.  Dennis and Jan thank you for making me welcome in your home.
