Last week I had a chat with Robert who claimed to have some information that someone from his fiance’s family may have thrown two rings in a pond… one of these rings being a platinum diamond engagement ring. The rings went missing about 3.5 years ago, and Robert was not sure what pond the rings we’re thrown in. Of course I mentioned to Robert that the chances of recovery with the little information will be almost impossible. To put Robert’s mind at ease, he wanted me to come out and search an area he thought the rings may have been thrown. I drove out to Cecil Hills, which is a suburb south west of Sydney. The moment I hopped in the pond I realised there would be little hope of recovering the rings as I sunk knee deep in mud. After 3.5 years, the rings would have sunk well beyond the depth of my detector. None-the-less, I covered the areas Robert thought the rings may have been. After about 2.5 search, I was exhausted with no rings to be found.
