Do try to relax :) and retrace your every step from the last time you saw your item.
- We sometimes receive calls thinking the item was lost outdoors a normal logical assumtion at times. But after we search an area we get a call saying the item was found near a sink where they had washed their hands or fallen off in the car etc. I am glad the item is safe but ideally I hope you save some money and find it beforehand although I would miss the chance to make your acquaintance.
Lost an Item on the beach.
- Do seek our services ASAP as the tides will change the beach moving the sand. Some major tourist beaches have a dawn sand cleaning machine sweep the beach, it misses most rings. A lost item on the beach is very easy to find normally if you know 100% where to set us to search.
- Do mark the search area with rocks or sticks stuck deeply into the sand before leaving the beach preferably. Or align two or more very distinctive land marks intersecting right at the search area.
Lost Item in public areas
- Do seek our services ASAP as other people may find your item and not know who to return it to. Lawn mowers can lift items and nabye mangle them how ever lawn mowers on low power can cut the grass and not create enough vaccum to suck the item into the blades. Gold items are normally settle quickly into the grass root region and do move esialy.
- Do mark or use multiple visible landmarks to intersect the search area try to precisly remember when you lost or last saw the item.
How deep can the detector go : The hightech E trac detector we use has found a small silver ear ring approximatly 10 cm deep. Larger items such as a 15 mm wide platinum bracelet at least 52cm into the beach. The answer is the tiniest items the shallower. Size limit not found yet.
What can the detector find: Really anything that has any metal in it . All gold and silver platinium, copper, tin, bronze, all Iron metals keys. Any electronic items eg mobile phones. The detector can sample a twin jewellery item and focus on that item only. However as we are experienced operators we watch for other signal varing ground influences to ensure we dont miss your precious items.
Backyard treasure: During the out break of World War I and II many people did not trust the banks and converted their wealth into gold sovereigns and hid their gold sovereigns in jars and tins which are still buried in yards waiting to be discovered to this very day. Gold sovereigns are worth 2 or more times their weight in gold depending on the minted date. If you ever find gold sovereigns it is extremly important to have them professionally cleaned if at all as improperly cleaned coins can greatly devalue them.
