This morning, August 5, 2026, I received the following text from Robin. “Good morning. I’m sure it’s a long shot but yesterday I lost my grandmothers sterling silver large hoops. I had taken them off to go into the ocean with my daughter – fearing losing them if I went under. Silly me placed them in the pocket of my beach chair and when we left, I folded it up and walked back. We were sitting very close to tower chair 2 near the Inlet Point Villas and I walked straight back to the villas. I have search everywhere hard and tried looking this morning on the beach with no luck. I’m most upset because they held such sentimental value. Please let me know if you think there could be a chance in finding them and what you charge for your services. Thank you.” I called Robin and got a few more details. At the time the sky was black, and it was raining, but there was no lightening. I waited awhile and just after noon, I text her I was on my way and would be there in 15-20 mins. When she responded, she also stated that she had found one of the earrings and the other should be close to the same spot.
When I arrived at the gated community, I called Robin and she came out to open the gate. We walked out on the beach to where she had set up a beach chair. I tested the earring with the Equinox 800 that she had found lying at the edge of the water and got a solid 15. I started a grid search and walked maybe 10 steps and got a solid 9 on the detector. I dug the target, washed the sand out in the surf and Bingo, I had her other earring in the scoop. She was very excited and grateful her grandmother’s other earring was back in her possession.
Robin – Thank you for trusting and allowing me to help find your special earring.
Jim
