Lost heirloom yellow gold chain in pond at Ft. Pierce Florida…Found and returned to owner!
This lost gold chain recovery began when I received a call from Max asking me if I could help him find his very sentimental and cherished gold chain in a small pond. He explained how he was at a friends place and they all decided to jump off the end of a dock into 7 feet of water and Max figured he would do a back flip. Knowing that his gold chain was long enough to come off over his head he deliberately held his hand by the side of his head to sort of catch or stop the chain from coming off…but in this case it did not work. Max felt his chain come off and it caught on his little finger and disappeared into the water and sank into the silty bottom of the pond. He knew it had to be real close to where he jumped in and he decided to buy a cheap hand held metal detector/pinpointer and tried his best to locate his lost gold chain and after a few attempts he decided to look online for more help. A few days later I met Max and armed with my 6 inch hand held Nokta Pulse Dive Scuba Detector and handy Blu3 Nemo dive system I jumped into the water and began carefully searching the target area. I found a number of items like sissors, a BB gun pistol, a ratchet strap, etc…before my fingers wrapped around a chain like object and as I cleaned the silt away I could see Max’s lost gold chain! Again I was reminded just how good GOD is to give me the opportunity and know how to help people find their lost treasures! What a privilege and blessing…and Max was super thrilled to see his special heirloom gold chain…a gift that was given to him by his father 5 years ago and the one that he hopes to wear the rest of his life!

I received a call from Mr. Robin inquiring information about “Underwater Metal Detecting”. You see, he runs a unique day camp for kids during the summer months and has a number of young adults that help work with the little ones doing all sorts of outdoor activities. In January of 2018, one of the young adult men, named Frankie, was on the dock, horsing around with some of his friends, when he decided to dive into the chilly water. And yes, the lakes are fairly cold during the winter months here in Central Florida, at least to us thin blooded Floridians! Well, Frankie dove in a couple of times and after his 3rd dive, as he was coming up the ladder he noticed his gold chain and cross were not around his neck! This chain and cross was a gift from his grandmother and he just had to find it and get it back around his neck. He and the others dove numerous times hoping to find it, but each time they came up with only weeds and clam shells. Later on they even had someone with scuba gear try and locate it but soon they realized they needed someone with a metal detector. Thankfully I was able to get my scuba certification and I agreed to try and find Frankie’s lost chain and cross.
