Mens Palladium Ring Lost & Found Studland Beach

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Back in August Kevin from Poole visited Studland with his family to do a little SUP’ing. Trouble was he kept falling off and worst still, when he reached the shore realised his wedding ring had gone! He had covered a wide area and could tell for sure where he had lost it.

I visited the area on 3 occasions , at least two hours each time to no avail. My search area expanded on every visit. Probably on my eighth hour there, a long way from my original search area, the CTX gave a blaring tone of something big and up it came!

Kevin was elated to have it back and made a kind donation to the Margaret Green Animal Rescue. Because of the sensitive nature of Simons job we decided a personal picture would not be appropriate.

Gents ROLEX Watch Lost & Found in the sea in Southbourne.

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Simon from Bournemouth went for his usual swim in the sea in Southbourne & when tumbled by a large wave felt his Rolex fall from his wrist. You can imagine his desperation looking for it as the waves pounded him until finally he admitted defeat and left.

When I received the call I was optimistic even though the sands were soft there and we didn’t have a precise location. Another problem was the tides. They wasn’t due for another two weeks which also reduced the recovery odds. Simon was very eager to try & when we met the day of the search he was very disappointed we didn’t find it.

I decided to let him borrow all of my equipment- something I had done before in the past with people I felt I could trust. Full credit to him, out he went several times searching until early one morning a massive signal, one scoop.. and up it came! Simon was ecstatic to have recovered it and made a generous donation to the Margaret Green Animal Charity.

Gold Wedding Ring Lost & Found Boscombe Pier

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Back in August Rowlins and family enjoyed a day out from their home in London. Little did he know he was about to see his wedding ring slip from his finger into the sea near Boscombe Pier. He searched desperately for ages hoping to catch a glimpse but to no avail.

When I received his call the ring had already been missing a few days and with low tides not due another 3 weeks I was less than optimistic to say the least! Nevertheless, three weeks later, just around dawn I ventured to the area and began searching. Using the Whites PI Plus machine I listened for faint whispers knowing how deep in the soft sand it would have sunk. I found six rings that way including Rowlins wedding band- such a thrill to see your target laying in the bottom of your sand scoop!

I called Rowlins who pleased and shocked at our luck and sent him the ring by post. He thanked me later and made a generous donation to the Margaret Green Animal Charity.

Gents Gold Wedding Band Lost & Found On Swanage Beach

Contact:

Ian from Watford was enjoying a holiday swim in the sea during a spell of beautiful weather in Swanage. To his horror he felt the moment his wedding ring slip from his finger & fell to the sea floor. At first he could just make out the ring lying on the bottom but within seconds it disappeared.

Confident that I would recover it I set about searching the area but after 20 minutes still nothing! Expanding my search area out & under 3 feet of water the detector let out the distinctive scream of gold! Bare a centimetre under the sand the ring  was clearly visible.

Ian was quite taken back that we had recovered it & made a kind donation to the Margaret Green Animal Sanctuary.

Pretty Gold Locket Lost & Found In Worth Matravers

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Sam & partner Danny from London were enjoying a little time away in a cottage in Worth Matravers. One afternoon whist going for a walk she felt the chain from her neck fall along with a ring which went through it too! The chain & ring were quickly found but the small gold locket was nowhere to be seen.

After they & others desperately searched for it they finally gave up losing the ring somewhere deep inside the long grass. Sam called me two days later & I arrived immediately as they were leaving the next day for home.

After searching for ten minutes with spurious signals & the light fading the sound of gold rang . Deep down in a clump of grass- there it was! Sam & Danni were very pleased to have it recovered & have promised to make a donation to the Margaret Green Animal Charity upon their return to London.

Mens Gold Wedding Band Lost & Found in The Sea At Highcliffe, Dorset

  • from Bournemouth (England, United Kingdom)
Contact:

Tony & son from Hampshire were leisurely swimming in the sea at Highcliffe but unknown by Tony his wedding ring which he’d be wearing for 41 years had slipped from his finger! It wasn’t until returning to his car he realised making its possibly whereabouts more difficult. Upon reaching the beach with Tony I was not hopeful. The stoney beach often draws rings down & out of reach for most detectors but this was far less a daunting task than perhaps detecting the sea where it most probably lay. After 40 minutes detecting the beach the sea was our last chance.

With a steep stoney drop into the sea and a sea bed moving under my feet the search seemed almost pointless. The waves were piling down right where I searched giving false signals & constantly moving the bed. Suddenly a faint signal.. carefully I tried to remain over the spot & donned my goggles. With an almost clumsy scoop I collected a pile of stones from 4 feet of water & made my way to shore thinking it would be a aluminium fragment?

With Tony watching I caught a glimpse of his disbelieving eyes as from where the stones were spread  I removed the ring! This I feel was one of the luckiest recoveries I have ever made & thank my lucky stars. Tony was very grateful & still slightly amazed to have the ring back & has made a generous donation to the Margret Green Animal Rescue charity.
