When: 11/07/2026 · Where: central beach, Balneário Camboriú – SC
The client lost an item in a pool that formed in the sand at Praia Central, in Balneário Camboriú. I arrived at the location and noticed that the tide was quite high, which made the search a bit more difficult.
I started the hunt with my metal detector and, after 30 minutes of searching, I was able to find what the client had lost. The work required attention and patience due to the conditions of the sand and water.
This type of recovery is common in areas where the tide influences the formation of pools in the sand. It is always important to act quickly when something is lost, as the tide can cover or move the item.
Anyone who has lost something in the area can call on a detectorist to help with the search, even though recovery of the item cannot be guaranteed.

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.
