A schoolboy has recalled the incredible moment he miraculously recovered a lost $20,000 watch buried in the sand at a popular beach.
An elderly man was left devastated after losing his treasured 1975 Cartier Santos timepiece, which fell out of his pocket when he took the watch off for his daily swim at Balmoral Beach on Sydney's lower north shore earlier this week.
The family reached out to British expats Simon Shave and Meggan Brummer for help finding the watch as the Mosman couple recovered numerous lost treasures at the beach.
The couple's 10-year-old son Josh Shave also decided to join in the search and try his luck with his metal detector.
