One of the most common questions we hear is: “What are the chances you’ll actually find my ring, watch, or piece of jewelry?”
The honest answer: There is no 100% guarantee. But, and this is the crucial point, with the right technology, experience, and a clearly described search area, the chances rise significantly.
What Does Success Depend On?
Accuracy of the description: The more precise the spot is described, the more targeted we can search.
Time factor: The sooner we arrive on site, the lower the risk that someone else finds the object or that it sinks deeper into the sand.
Environment: Sand, seagrass, rocks, or currents – each terrain brings its own challenges.
Our Track Record
With state-of-the-art metal detectors, underwater equipment, and countless successful recoveries, our current success rate is around 80 percent. In many cases, we’ve been able to retrieve items even under difficult conditions – for example hidden in seagrass or several meters deep.
Why It’s Worth Trying
Even though there’s no guarantee, the likelihood of getting back a valuable keepsake is exceptionally high with us. And often, the emotional value outweighs the financial one.
Conclusion: Hiring us means investing in a real chance to recover something that seemed lost forever. These moments, when we return jewelry and memories into the hands of their owners, are the very reason Mallorca Detecting exists.
