Christina and Derrick on their Wedding Day!

As Christina and Derrick were standing on the dock, her car key fob dropped and bounced into an opening, right into the water. The Penguin Paddling staff tried using a powerful magnet but couldn’t retrieve the keys. I got the call, packed my equipment, and arrived within half an hour.

Christina described how the key fob bounced and perfectly hit the water, right where two of the floating docks have a space of about six inches. After an exhaustive attempt at magnet fishing, they called me.

I dropped a weighted line from the dock where the key fob hit the water. I put on my SCUBA gear, descended and started my search from the drop area. It was dark and I was glad I had my underwater light. Within a minute I found it!

After I climbed back on the dock, we ascertained the inside of the key fob was dry and ready to be used to start the car. It was only then that Derrick and Christina told me they were in a hurry to get to the courthouse before it closed…TO GET MARRIED!!!

Rob Ellis: Metal Detector Expert… Call/text ASAP, (703)-598-1435

Don’t give up. Many of my clients have bought, borrowed, or rented a metal detector before calling me. Just because someone has a tool, it doesn’t mean they know how to use it. I use state of the art equipment, and I have thousands of hours of experience searching on land and underwater. If you have tried using a detector without success, please text/call to see if I can help.

SCUBA Recovery: Phone Found & Returned by Rob Ellis, Occoquan River, Virginia

Found and returned a Samsung phone, May 23rd, 2023, Occoquan River, Occoquan VA.

It was a beautiful afternoon when I got an emergency call for another lost phone. Despite recommendations from the staff of Penguin Paddling, people continue to carry their phones unsecured in rented kayaks. I packed my SCUBA and metal detecting equipment and arrived about 40 minutes later.

Yesbell and her children were waiting for me on the dock. They described how the phone was lost while exiting the rented kayak. I was grateful no one had tried to search and stir up the algae which was thick this time of year. If they had, would have been greatly reduced and I would have had to use my metal detector.

Upon entering the water, I did a visual grid search and found the phone within a few minutes.

Client photo is withheld by request.
