When: 11/01/2026 · Where: Novo arraial parte da lagoa, Arraial do Cabo – RJ
Michelle lost her wedding ring at Praia Novo Arraial, in Arraial do Cabo. She had a rough idea of where she lost it, which helped a lot in the search. Upon arriving at the location, I asked a few questions to better understand the situation, such as the weight of the ring and the places she had walked.
With this information in mind, I began to search with my metal detector. The beach sand can easily hide objects, but the experience and tips I received were crucial. With each sweep, I felt closer to finding the ring.
After some time searching, I finally detected a promising signal. Carefully, I dug in the sand and, to my satisfaction, found Michelle’s ring. The smile on her face upon seeing the recovered object was rewarding.
Anyone who loses something in the area can call on a detectorist. Experience and knowledge about how to search in the sand, in the water, or in hard-to-reach areas make a difference.

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.
