Hire Jewellery Rescue Metal Detector Hire

Ready for hire, Metal detector charged up always ready to go on a hire  service. It  was 11:30am on a cool winters morning, the phone  rang I was talking to a good man ( names with-held  privacy requested) that was telling  me  his tale of  loss. 

Magical Ring wanted to be found and reunited with its mate.

He was weekend gardening, spreading out a layer of sugar cane mulch on the garden for the spring time vegtables when he notice his wedding band was missing from his finger.  It  mischievously slipped off while working with the mulch and was hidden.  They first searched by hand , then  bought an inexpensive Chinese metal detector of  unknown quality and used it with no success sadly.  I think the message here is if your going to buy / hire get a good machine  I recommend www.minersden.com.au  if you want to DIY.   I  jumped into  the car and meet  with his wife at their house.   She was clearly shaken and upset with the loss and recent unsuccessful search attempts.  She showed me her matching wedding  band they had specially crafted in Ireland.  A beautiful  pair of  matching Celtic designed rings. I scanned her  gold ring as good metal detectors can discriminate against all other metals and find only the matching gold signature of the target jewellery.  So the metal detector hunt began. The lovely lady had no sooner sat down in a  garden chair to watch my search progress ., two sweeps  later with the E Trac detector and there was a  perfect matching gold ring signal coming from under the mulch near a small tree trunk.  Out with the pinpointer probe and the search was  over in less than 2  minutes. From under the suger cane mulch emerged the matching wedding band mate.  It was very clear I suggested to the  surprised  lady the magical Irish  ring wanted to be found fast  and returned to its mate with out delay. I am now wishing I took a  photo of the two rings together as they where meant to be.  I thank you very much for offering me an addiitonal  reward on this  job but in good conscience I couldn’t  accept the money as the ring did all the work quickly.

Wedding Band Rescued

 Hire Jewellery Rescue with metal detector , Peter had all but given up on his wedding ring ever being found. Peter a plumber turned excellent  landscaper wanted to wear a wedding band now he wasn’t in the plumbing trade. However while  laying wood chip mulch he took his gardening gloves off during the day, losing his solid gold ring as well.  Peter and his lovely understanding wife met me in the gardens Peter was working in.  He pointed out all the aluminium and steel benches  surrounding the garden in question and asked if they would be a  hinderance to the metal detector.  I replied  my etrac metal detector would discriminate the aluminium and steel seats, however it wasn’t going to be easy as the metal detector would still respond to the mass of metal.  So the hunt  begins, Backing the power of the detector  right off I was able to search closer to the the metal seats. The etrac was able to metal  detect to with in 100mm of the seats  finding a variety of metal bobby pins etc,  I then turned to my pin pointer probe that beeps only in  very close proximity to metal items.  I used  it to search underneath the seats in and around the  steel legs pushing it through the wood chips.  Still not finding Peters wedding band.  Dusk turned to night we had to stop searching for that night no one wanted to give up the on the ring but we had to  let it go.     Peter and his wife didn’t expect to find it  and paid me my base service fee. I said I would like to look for the ring for no extra  cost on my own time on the weekend if they would have me  back on the weekend.   They agreed but didn’t get their hopes up too high, a wise  precaution.  My good friend  Brad  from  www.metaldetectorehire.com.au  and  his diving  friend  offered to come over later in the day to assist in the  search for the ring, we always want the best result for our customers and I looked forward to meeting up with him again.  So on Saturday morning when I was fresh and full of renewed inspiration I started  going CSI (crime scene investigation) in minute detail on this garden and surrounds. This  time working the  garden from a new direction as metal detectors can react differently to targets lying at different angles. Still pulling out every metal target in my path.  An  hour into the renewed  search,  a beep,  a  gold  beep, the slightest hint of a gold reading being masked by surrounding metal  influences.  So I changed sweep angles  again a stronger gold  signal  this time. Using the pin pointer to lightly sweep over  the wood chips,  into the sunlight flipped the solid  gold band that was hidden beneath.   A lovely and welcome sight.  It was my great pleasure to call Peter and his wife who were on their way to shop for a replacement ring as it turns out,  I gave them the good news.  They meet me in minutes and were ecstatic as the ring was returned to its rightful place on Peter’s finger.  I thank you  both for allowing me to  re-search the gardens.  Thank you very  much for the ample reward you gave me.  A new ring just wouldn’t be the same as the one you took your vows  with.  I wish you both all the best in the  future.
