The ADAPT Metal Detecting Club’s “find of the day” goes to dedicated member Darren Holford, who was out early at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday, June 23rd, just hours after the San Juan bonfires at Náufragos Beach in Torrevieja.
While sweeping the sand for metal objects, Darren picked up a few euros, a lead fishing weight, a sharp knife, and some metal debris. Then he was approached by a young woman who asked for help finding valuables her boyfriend had lost the night before during the beach celebrations.
The missing items? A mobile phone and a metal case containing a TIE card and bank card, a devastating loss for the couple.
Rising to the challenge, Darren began a focused search of the area where the couple had been sitting. Thanks to his quick response and experience, he soon located all the lost items and returned them to the visibly relieved and grateful couple.
This is just one example of the important work the ADAPT Metal Detecting Club regularly does during the busy summer season, helping beachgoers recover lost metal valuables both on land and in the sea.
Thanks to Darren’s effort, a stressful situation turned into a happy ending, proof again that the ADAPT MD Club is always ready to help.
