I received a call from Tomas about a cross he lost. He explained it was a huge sentimental item, and it was irreplaceable. We agreed I would head there early the next morning. He gave me all the information, including the marked location on the phone GPS. With that I figured it would be a simple recovery. Upon arrival i marked the location, and got to work. After no luck, I examined pics he sent with fixed objects on shore. I remarked the spot 35′ away, and after about 10 min. the cross was in my scoop.

I received a call from Mary whose friend had lost a piece of jewelry while participating in a beach volley ball tournament. While going for the ball he hooked the chain holding the pendant, and it disappeared in the sand. I told her I would leave right away.
When I got there people were everywhere, and games going on in every court. It seemed an impossible task to do a search, but I was able to find Mary. She told me that it was believed to be lost on the perimeter of the court, so while the game was in play I ducked in and out of the court to detect. Finally the game ended, and I had a few minutes before the next one began to search some more. Then under the perimeter line I got a signal, dug with my scoop, but nothing came up. I was still getting a good signal, but nothing. Then I noticed something fall from my scoop on the next dig, and reached down to retrieve it. It was the pendant. Mary was happy, and her friend who had stared his new game gave me a quick handshake.

Tony was doing some surf fishing in Lavallette NJ early one Saturday morning with his buddies. It was pretty close to high tide when he realized his phone was missing, but he wasn’t quite sure where it could be. He looked everywhere possible when he figured it must have fallen out somewhere in the water while he was fishing. Loosing a phone can be very devastating with all the pictures, videos, and other information that can be stored on them now. Needless to say this was the situation with Tony, especially the pictures and videos of friends and family that can NEVER be replaced. Luckily I was able to locate his phone during the next low tide, about 20′ down the hill, right where the low tide waves were breaking. It was already buried in the sand over 12″, and prob. very close to being lost for ever. Time is so important when recovering lost items in the surf or ocean, that is why you need to call ASAP when an item is lost.
This ring find began when I got a text from Kai who lives in Aina Haina on Oahu. His text said Happy New Year and if I could help him find his ring in the dry sand at Outrigger Canoe Club Beach. He had it in his hat but at some point it went missing on the beach. I told Kai I could grab my gear and head down. He said he was a guest at the club and that he could get me parking there. I rushed down and Kai met me in the parking garage. We headed down to the beach where I met Kai’s lovely wife Larissa and a few friends. Kai drew a grid in the sand for me to hunt and I began. This area hadn’t been hunted for awhile so I had to clean up some tin, two pennies and a quarter. Then I got a nice solid slightly high tone and after two scoops there was Kai’s White Gold Wedding Band in the scoop. I said this isn’t it is it? Oh yeah that’s it and an applause went up on the beach. Great way to start the New Year. Aloha to Kai & Larissa!
Back up to Tokerau Beach, NZ, for a wedding ring in the tide this time.
Nathan was playing with his daughter in waist deep water, throwing her up and catching her.
As he released her, he saw his wedding ring come off and drop into the water. They searched for some time before accepting the ring was lost.
Back on shore, Nathan took a bearing and paced out an approximate distance to where he thought it was- then gave me a call.
I arrived for the evening low tide, waded out and got to work to find his lost wedding ring.
The sand leveled out below low tide mark, so “waist deep” went out about 50m or so – A huge potential area.
I had searched the indicated area by the time failing light and tide forced me out. Regrettably I advised Nathan that I had been unsuccessful, with nothing more than a handful of lead sinkers and rusty hooks in the pouch.
But I don’t walk away easily…
Up at 4am, I was back in the tide just after 5 – sharing the shallows with the dorsal fins of a dozen Rig sharks, focused on their own search for crabs as the night gave way to dawn.
I reviewed the search area of the previous day and decided that I was generally happy that had the ring been there, I would have likely found it.
I decided to extend the search area.
After about 2Hrs using various search patterns, I got a distinct ‘double thump’ of a shallow target, some 20m from the original area.
I lifted the scoop, sifted the sand out in the water and heard that ‘jangle’ that tells me – Job Done.
I think I woke Nathan up when I phoned him, “I’ve got something of yours here…”
It didn’t take him long to get down to the beach!
If you lose an item at the beach, make a note of where you are. Line up two landmarks, even better, line up another two at right angles to the first. Then give me a call, and I’ll do my utmost to get it back to you.
I received a text late last night from Yvette who told me about how she lost her Blessed Mother medallion while on the beach in Avalon, NJ the day before. The medallion belonged to Yvette’s grandmother and had been blessed by the Pope. I met Yvette and her friends on the beach to get the details and began my search. The beautiful medallion was found a few minutes later. Yvette was very happy to have it back and able to wear it again with great joy.
This ring find began when I got a call from Aloha Security. They had the contact number for Angelo who was on vacation from Half Moon Bay, California and just lost his White Gold Wedding Band at Honu Lagoon. I called Angelo and he told me he was playing volleyball with his daughter Jaymie and he believed his ring had come off while diving for the ball. He assured me it was either in the wet sand or no deeper then ankle height water. I told Angelo I’d pack my gear and head right down. Take a little longer then 1/2 hour. When I arrived Angelo his wife Lauren and Jaymie were waiting. Angelo drew a box in the sand for me so I started dry and worked towards the wet. Just as I worked into the wet shoreline I got a nice “47” scream on the Manticore. I had to scoop three times to get the target out of the hole but when I rinsed the scoop it was empty. As I moved toward the hole I saw the White Gold Band laying on the surface and scooped it up for Angelo who had been watching the hunt. Vacation saved and a big Happy New Year Aloha to Angelo, Lauren & Jaymie

Aziz called asking for assistance in recovering his dropped car keys. He was in quite the situation as this was his only set of car keys and his car could not be moved from the down town public parking space until he got his keys back or an expensive replacement from the lock smith. Having experience with Lake Union and knowing first hand how deep many of the docks can be even when close to the shore I knew this mission could easily turn into a SCUBA dive recovery. However having many recovery tools on hand I always try to find the most efficient methods possible.
As a first attempt I meet Aziz with my magnet fishing and fishing camera kit to see if we could recover the keys without having to make a dive. With Aziz having lost the keys the night before and having him in person to point out exactly where the keys went into the water I was confident that we may have a strong possibility of recovery on our first attempt. However that being said recovering anything with a magnet fishing kit can take a lot of patients and skill. Most times it is extremely disappointing especially when using a magnet without any kind of underwater camera system. Working blind with a magnet on a rope is often times a huge wast of time. Even with a camera system and having developed some experience doing this quite a few times its never a guarantee and more than once has turned into a SCUBA dive recovery in the end. The encouraging thing is I have many options at my disposal giving me the highest rate of recovery for items lost in the water. Honestly we don’t get them all back but a very high percentage of items are recovered and it all starts with a phone conversation about your specific situation. To add to this challenge the keys dropped though the dock slats and landed on the bottom of the lake at thirty feet deep.
Come along for an exciting underwater classic water recovery as we get Aziz back on the road of life with a smile on his face.

Cayla was enjoying the summer playing with her young daughter in the shallows at Tokerau Beach, soon realising that the special gold bangle had slipped off her toddlers wrist.
Her partner did all the right things by marking above the high tide mark where they were on the beach and called me straight away, time is always against us with ocean recoveries…
As soon as I got his message I gave my apologies to family, loaded the kit in the car and headed off on the 90km drive to Doubtless Bay.
We arrived at the beach only to find that out of the available 13km of beach, a family had parked a half dozen utes right on top of ground zero. Cayla persuaded them to relocate one of them in a prime area so I could search.
A few false starts with beer can pull tabs and a couple of longline fishing traces (removing several hooks out of the sand in the process) and I had reached the utes.
I changed the direction of the grid to start working parallel to the vehicles to maximise coverage before we needed to ask a little firmer if they wouldn’t mind shuffling along a bit. On the first run at the outer line of the first pattern, I got a clear and shallow signal.
My fingers dipped into the wet sand and lifted the tiniest most delicate gold bracelet.
I turned and held it up to Cayla and Scott who were a few metres away, smiles all round.
This ring find began when I got a text from Audrey who lives in Makakilo on Oahu. Her text said she found me on Facebook and that she lost her Gold & Diamonds Wedding and Engagement rings at White Plains Beach the day before. It was getting late, but I didn’t want the beach to experience a metal detectorist or another high tide so I called her and we agreed to meet as soon as I could get there. When I arrived Audrey was waiting and she took me to the spot on the beach. Most of the area was dry but it did extend down into the wet sand. This beach has a tremndous slope and it will pull a ring down into never never sand. First target was a piece of pull tab. Then on the second leg I got a double target with a 27 on the Manticore. The high tide did bury the rings as it took four scoops to get the first one which was the engagement. Then a mere 8 inches over I had popped out the wedding band. Mission accomplished and a very happy local girl with tears of joy on her face. Aloha to Audrey and a Happy New Year.
