Always great to see a happy ending. Here is a story from the states with a returned ring. :)

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - Metal detecting is a giant game of lost and found for Henry "Tuffy" Braithwaite. Braithwaite spends hours scouring the sands of Virginia Beach almost every day.

But when Braithwaite struck gold last week, he picked up the phone and did the right thing.

An article on Wired about metal detecting. Reasonable info but a strange layout. Good to see the hobby hitting mainstream media :)

Truth about Metal Detecting, Treasure Hunting - All Info!.

This is a huge site with vast amounts of information on metal detecting in general. I stumbled across it while looking for coin cleaning tips but there is days worth of reading here.

I highly recommend this site to anyone looking for detecting tips.

A nice collection of pennies and half pennies picked up in one session.

Here are a few finds from detecting this week. It is always nice to pick up a few pre-decimal coins. First a trip to a river bank.

Next, a new spot I found. First target was a florin :)

Adelaide is a wonderful place to live. The detecting options are endless with coin, relic and gold locations everywhere :)

It can be heart breaking to lose a loved piece of jewellery. Necklaces and bracelets break easily, and rings fall off when wet from sweat or swimming.

No matter what you have lost, if it contains metal and the location is accessible then chances are that it can be found.

Adelaide Lost Ring Search provides a ring and jewellery recovery or rescue service to help find lost metallic items. My goal with this service is simply to re-unite the owner with the lost item.
