Tracey called me with the sad news that she lost 2 rings. One she managed to find in her handbag, but the other ring which had been handed down from her late grandmother was still missing. She had spent the day at Morrison Park soccer oval, and had been sitting in various spots. Tracey wasn’t 100% sure if this was indeed where she lost the ring, but wanted me to have a look anyway. Unfortunately afters spending over 3 hours searching the oval, I came up empty handed. Please, if anyone does happen to find a gold/diamond signet ring at Morrison Park at Putney, please contact me. Tracey is offering a reward for its return.

Robin called me last week requesting my services. He had lost his gold signet ring while shaking water off his hands. Robin was standing on a balcony when the ring flew off in the direction of the garden below. Interesting enough, Robin did not hear the ring land which worried me. Anyway, I started searching the garden area where the ring most likely dropped. After covering the area 3 times, I was beginning to think that perhaps the ring had gone over the neighbours fence. Before knocking on the neighbour’s door, I decided to start metal detecting the trees in the garden. My good friend Tony from Jewellery Rescue had a situation where he found a ring in a tree (read story here) so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try. After scanning most of the trees, I came to the last one. About half way up the trunk of the tree, I was receiving a strong signal. I thought that maybe there was a piece of wire in the tree. I began to investigate the area and spotted a glimpse of gold. Robin had flicked the ring off his finger so hard that it lodged inside the tree. Robin mentioned to me before I started the search to let him know exactly where I found the ring, as he had spent 2 hours searching for it. I called him out to see exactly where the ring had landed. We we’re both amazed yet happy the ring was no longer lost.

Last week I was called out to West Pymble to search for a lost gold signet ring. Caroline (apologies if I have the name wrong,  having a mental blank) noticed the ring missing from her finger. The ring was actually passed down to Caroline by her father in law. Unfortunately, Caroline was not 100% sure when or where she lost the ring, but called me over to search her yard and garden anyway. The day she noticed the ring was missing, Caroline had also been in a friends car, and also to the gym. I gave the garden and yard a good 2 hour plus search, but unfortunately I was not able to find the lost signet ring. The one positive to come out of this story, Caroline was in the process of having the ring duplicated by a jeweller. So she took some nice photos of the ring before it was lost. I really hope some day I will receive a call from Caroline to say she has found the ring.
