Preparation

Before collection and research

  • URGENT: on the beach write it in the message - sea and wind move the sand
  • Screen or sit to extract small objects from the sand without losing them
  • Metal-free clothing(belts, shoes with toe caps) for false signals
  • Mark the area with rope, stakes or stones before starting the grill
  • Valid document and deposit required for collection in Via Giardini 16
  • Daylight: searching at night without experience wastes time
Need

When does it make sense to rent and what can you find

The metal detector is useful when you know more or less the area but you need to sift through sand, grass or soil to find a precious or fundamental metal object. It works perfectly on the beaches of southern Sardinia, in private gardens, on gravel and agricultural land.

    • Beaches of Cagliari and surroundings: Ideal for the sand of Poetto (from the First to the Sixth Stop, up to the Margine Rosso), Quartu Sant'Elena, Calamosca, and for the enchanting areas of Chia, Pula (Nora, Santa Margherita), Villasimius (Porto Giunco, Punta Molentis), Costa Rei, Mari Pintau, Geremeas and Solanas. The high frequency (kHz) DD coil guarantees excellentdiscrimination of salt mineralizationfor searches in wet sand and shoreline.
    • Jewels and valuables: Rapid discovery of wedding rings, engagement rings, gold necklaces, earrings, bracelets (yellow gold, white gold, silver, platinum) slipped in dry or wet sand.
    • Luxury Watches and Smartwatches: Easily locate devices with metal cases such as Rolex, Omega, Apple Watch, Garmin and action cameras (GoPro, Insta360).
    • Lost keys: Indispensable for finding car keys (including electronic and transponders) lost on the beach, or sets of house and B&B keys that have fallen on the lawn or in the countryside.
    • Night and urgent searches: Many losses occur at night or after evenings outdoors. Our metal detectors have illuminated displays. Write "URGENT" on WhatsApp to collect quickly and avoid someone finding the item before you.

    It is not the right tool if you only need to confirm a precise point already identified (e.g. a very narrow hole among the rocks): in that case the portable pinpointer is often enough, which we always recommend combining with the main detector to speed up the excavation and avoid scratching the golden object. For Oristano and Arborea see the dedicated page with collection in Cagliari.

Method and Technical Guide

How to find a ring lost in the sand: the grid rule

Panic is the worst enemy of discovery. If you just lost a ring or keys at the beach, stop and follow these steps (PAS Recovery Framework):

  1. Do not dig with your hands haphazardly (Agitation): Digging haphazardly pushes gold objects (which are very dense and heavy) even deeper, out of sight, and widens the area of ​​loss.
  2. Delimit the area (Solution): Immediately mark a square perimeter using 4 stones, towels or slippers around the point where you think the object fell. Don't move away: visually fix reference points (e.g. the neighbour's umbrella, the kiosk).
  3. Perform ground balancing: Turn on the metal detector. If you are on the salty shore, our instruments allow you to eliminate the false signal of sea water (mineralization) via theground balancefunction.
  4. Grid search (brush method): Hold the griddle 2-3 cm from the sand, always parallel (do not swing it like a pendulum). Walk in a straight line from one end of the square to the other, then move sideways half a meter and come back, overlapping the passes slightly. If the ring is gold, the digital display will give you a high numeric VDI ​​and sharp tone.
  5. Extraction with Pinpointer: When you hear the strong signal, use the pinpointer and a small net to locate the exact millimeter and extract it without rubbing it with stones or iron shovels.
Extreme Cases and Niche Research

Unusual objects and atypical scenarios

  • Dental dentures, eyeglasses and hearing aids: It seems incredible, but these items are commonly lost during a swim or a nap on the beach. Being equipped with metal hooks, batteries or titanium screws, they are perfectly detectable.
  • Drones fallen in tall grass or bushes: If your DJI or FPV drone crashed in the middle of the Mediterranean scrub or in an uncultivated field near Cagliari, the metal detector will immediately detect the electric motors and lipo battery.
  • Buried irrigation pipes and blind sumps: Are you doing garden work and need to find a buried metal valve, a buried cable or an old water pipe? Our detectors are not only used for jewellery, but are precious allies for plumbers and gardeners.
Tips

Errors that waste time

  • Waiting too long on the beach. Sea and wind move the sand: start from the most likely area as soon as possible.
  • Dig at random without a grid. Mark where you have already passed, otherwise you cover the same areas twice and skip others.
  • Search at night without experience. Light matters: if you can, prefer daylight hours.
  • Forget the pinpointer on small objects. After the coarse signal, the pinpointer speeds up the extraction.

Frequently asked questions

Removing thatch and moss rental FAQ

How much is the deposit and how can I pay it?

The deposit depends on the exact model we provide you (basic or advanced): we indicate it clearly in the WhatsApp quote before you confirm. When collecting in Cagliari in Via Giardini 16, a valid identity document is required. The deposit is usually deposited in cash and is fully returned at the end of the rental, provided that the equipment does not show any damage due to neglect.

Does it work on the sand of Poetto, Chia or Villasimius?

Absolutely yes. Our metal detectors are calibrated to ignore the salt mineralization typical of the beaches of southern Sardinia, from Poetto to the coasts of Chia, Pula, Villasimius and Costa Rei. We suggest delimiting the suspicious area and using a net to extract the ring or keys without digging with your bare hands.

What happens if I lost my ring in the sea or on the shoreline?

No problem: we have metal detectors with waterproof plates that can be immersed in shallow water (usually up to one meter) and used safely on the sea shore, where the rings often slip due to the cold water. Specify "lost in the water" in the WhatsApp message.

Can I collect today if I have a real emergency?

Yes! We know well that time is essential to avoid having the object stolen or covered by the wind. If you have an emergency, write URGENT with the area of ​​the loss and the time in which you can stop by the Cagliari office. We confirm availability every day from 8:00 to 20:00 for timely collection.

Is it better to rent a large metal detector or just the portable pinpointer?

The large (brush) metal detector is used to explore large areas by walking (e.g. 100 square meters of beach). The pinpointer is a 25 cm long manual mini-detector that is used to refine the search *inside the hole* or in the middle of tall grass. For rings lost on the beach, we highly recommend the "Bundle" (Removing thatch and moss + Pinpointer on the same day) to halve recovery times and avoid the risk of scratching the gold.

Is it legal to use metal detectors on beaches in Sardinia?

Yes, looking for your lost items on free beaches is legal, as long as you respect the regulations and do not enter areas of archaeological interest. Always remember to level any holes in the sand once the excavation is finished, out of respect for the environment and other swimmers.

Can I find an iPhone, a smartphone or a mechanical watch?

Of course. Cell phones, smartwatches, GoPros and steel watches (e.g. Rolex or Omega) contain many metallic elements. The metal detector signals them with a very loud sound, even if they have been completely buried or covered up by those who passed before you.

How does it work for extended rentals for holidays or research in the countryside?

The basic rate usually covers a single day (24 hours) which is enough to find the item lost yesterday. But if you want to rent it for a weekend, for the entire beach holiday, or to look for border pegs and pipes in the countryside for several days, we apply increasing discounts. Write us the dates on WhatsApp for a personalized quote.

Do you need a deposit or document?

Yes, a valid identity document is always required from the person collecting the instrument physically in Cagliari. At the time of delivery we will explain the rental conditions and the security deposit.
