Services

Adelaide Lost Ring Search provides professional metal detecting services to the public.

Example services are:

Finding Lost Jewellery using metal detectors and also physical/ visual searches.

Locating Pipes, Bore Caps, sewers and Cables

Estate Searches including physical non-detecting searches for hidden items.

Missing Person and Evidence Searches

Pre-sale Property Searches.

Diving and Underwater Searches: We can currently search to 3m in depth around the Adelaide coast line, rivers and creeks. Dive searches will have a higher call out than standard. Please contact for details.

Historical Searches (What was on your property)

Visual and physical searches (eg lost ring inside a house). I have low powered, short range metal detectors I use for these visual searches to quickly check things like pipes, skirting boards, linen and clothing. However most of these physical searches is just me visually checking everywhere in the house. I systematically look through every object in every room until the whole house has been checked. Finding something as small as a ring or earring in these searches is difficult but more successful than not. I have found jewellery in clothing, toilet cisterns, skirting boards, bedding, under carpet and in food canisters. Young children can be quite imaginative when hiding objects and sometimes they just fall into weird places.

Lessons

Adelaide Lost Ring Search provides one on one and group tuition in metal detecting and gold panning. Clients have included the police and other emergency services. Here is an example of instructing a group of SES volunteers to use Minelab X-Terra 305s and 505s for a police evidence search in a South Australian national park. Minelab kindly donated the detectors and we had a successful day detecting a large area.

Visual and physical searches are the same prices as metal detecting. These involve visually searching every room in the house for lost items. Metal detectors are used when possible, but most of the search is just methodical visual inspection.

While I will do my best to find your item as quickly as possible, there are times when i will not find it all all or it may take several sessions over several days. My sincere goal is to re-unite you and your lost item.

Please don’t put off contacting me if you have financial hardship or are a pensioner, etc. We can talk about finances after the initial issue of finding your lost item is sorted out. Re-uniting you and your lost item is the important bit 🙂

Credit card payment is available.

Please phone 0433164587 or email shaun@pcuse.com if you have any questions.
