When: 10/16/2026 · Where: Dunas do Siriu, Garopaba – SC
Mr. Eduardo lost his ring at Dunas do Siriu in Garopaba while playing with his son. During the fun of sliding down, he realized that the ring had fallen, but he didn’t know exactly where. After searching unsuccessfully, he decided to seek help online and found my contact as a recovery detectorist.
I traveled 60 km to the dunes, which took about an hour. Upon arrival, the light from the flashlights was essential, as it was already dark. I began the search, passing the metal detector over the area where the client believed the ring might be. After about 10 minutes of searching, I was able to locate the ring. The relief and joy of Dr. Eduardo were contagious, and everyone around shared in that moment of happiness.
Losing a ring in the sand can be distressing, but having a detectorist can make a difference. If you have also lost something in the area, do not hesitate to call a professional. Experience and the right equipment can increase the chances of success in the recovery.

Passo a passo imediato: perdeu uma joia na praia ou na água?
Faça isto agora, nesta ordem, antes de procurar por conta própria:
- Pare e marque o ponto: isole a área onde o objeto deve ter caído e fotografe referências fixas ao redor (poste, quiosque, posto de guarda-vidas, pedra, árvore).
- Não cave e não deixe muita gente pisar ou revirar a areia: isso afunda e espalha o objeto e atrapalha o detector.
- Anote o horário da perda e se foi na areia seca, na areia molhada ou na água: a maré muda o terreno em poucas horas.
- Chame logo um detectorista profissional credenciado da rede Dr. Detector na sua região: quanto antes a busca começa, maiores as chances (sem garantia de resultado). Pedir um detectorista agora.
