Maui Metal Detecting
Founded by James “Mac” McMinn
Mac is a retired police officer and the founder of Maui Metal Detecting. Mac formed Maui Metal Detecting on the inspiration of a retired US Naval Officer on Oahu who had spent forty years of his life finding and returning lost wedding rings to their rightful owners. After purchasing his first metal detector fifteen years ago, Mac read the instructions and headed to the beach having no idea what he was actually doing. As it turns out, Mac was a natural in and out of the water and within only two hours of metal detecting Mac was approached by a woman who had lost her $25,000 wedding ring and band in the sand. Within about twenty minutes Mac found both rings and after seeing the look of happiness in the woman’s eyes, Mac was hooked. Experience has now shown Mac that his first find was simply pure luck and that it is only through training, vast experience and the utilization of top of the line equipment that the art of metal detecting can be perfected.
Since finding that first ring, Mac has received training from metal detecting factory authorized trainers and renowned salt water surf metal detector enthusiast Dale Rohif. In addition, Mac has received specialized training in water currents, tides and sand movement from a renowned University of Hawaii Professor of Oceanic Studies. Mac has been a certified scuba diver for over thirty years and unlike most metal detector specialists in Hawaii who will only search in the water to chest deep, Mac will search under the water to a depth of 40 feet. Simply put, if you lost your ring or even think you may have lost your ring in water deeper than four to five feet, you will need someone that who can search in that depth of water. Mac has found that utilizing scuba gear and being able to stay on the ocean floor even at a depth of four or five feet, makes a ring much easier to find with a metal detector. Mac wants your ring (no matter who you hire) returned to you and recommends that when you enlist the services of a metal detector specialist, you utilize someone who is capable of finding your ring at the depth of the water you lost it.
As with any business having the best equipment is paramount. In the case of Maui Metal Detecting, Mac has invested over $60,000 in the best equipment possible for metal detecting in the harsh costal conditions presented here on Maui.
