On Tuesday I drove out to Pennant Hills (near Castle Hill) to help Brett find his lost gold wedding ring. Brett was not exactly sure when or where the ring fell off, but there was a time frame in relation to when he noticed it on, and when it went missing. And he had not left the home in that time period. Brett had also been spreading wood chips in his garden on the day the ring went missing, so there was a good chance it may have slipped off into the garden. When I arrived, I began my search in the garden area without any luck. I decided to turn up the gain on the metal detector and search the garden one more time to be sure. Once again, no wedding ring to be found. There was another vegetable garden which Brett said he may have worked on that day, but was not sure. Before checking the vegetable garden, I decided to detect the thick grass that ran parallel to the garden. A few minutes of searching the grass and I received a nice loud signal, very similar to a $1 coin. There hiding in the grass was Brett’s chunky gold wedding ring. After a recent run of bad luck, I was just as releived as Brett and his wife to have found the ring. It was a pleasure meeting Brett and his wife, plus his two puppies (Dash & Dale) who kept me entertained while hunting Photo coming soon…

I received a phone call from Lyn last week. Lyn and her daughter breed show dogs..and unfortunately Lyn’s daughter lost two gold pendants while showing her dog at a competition. A friend noticed her necklace hanging open after returning to the marquee. I went out that evening to try and find the two gold pendants, as it wouldn’t be long before the ground keepers cut the grass. Unfortunately after about two hours of searching, I was unsuccessful in locating either of the two charms. I would have liked to search for longer as there was a large area to cover. But the dog trainers decided it was time to cut the lights, so I ended my search. The following morning I had to fly to Queensland, so I was unable to continue my search..so I asked my friend Tony from Metal Detector Services if he was interested in having a look. Tony went for a hunt the following morning but had no luck locating the lost pendants either. If anyone happens to find these pendants in the grass at the Castle Hill dog training park, please contact me so I can return them to Lyn. I am sure she would be happy to pay a reward for their return.
