Eleanor was weeding around their bach at Tokerau Beach in Doubtless Bay, just some light stuff to tidy up.
Later that day, she noticed her treasured gold and diamond engagement ring and her eternity ring were missing.
Searches of the weeded area and the lawn revealed nothing, so her daughter gave me a call.
Thirty seven years experience in recoveries, and state of the art equipment meant the two rings were swiftly located in long grass surrounding a clump of flax.
A cheaper detector, or novice user would have been unlikely to locate these lost rings as they were very fine, and tucked down deep in the dense foot-high grass of similar colouration.
Just over thirty minutes after arriving, hugs and handshakes were being exchanged now the lost rings had been found and were back in their proper place.
My 81 year old Mum decided to do some weeding at the bach on Tokerau Beach. She threw some weeds into a nearby clump of flax bushes. Later in the day she realised she’d lost both her diamond engagement ring and her emerald and diamond eternity ring!!!
We scoured the whole property but couldn’t find it. I’d seen a post a few days earlier on the Karikari peninsula page about someone who had lost a bangle on the beach. I searched the page and found Northland Jewellery Recoveries and contacted them. Pete was very quick to respond and came out the next day. After a very professional and thorough search Pete found BOTH of mum’s rings within 45 minutes in the flax!!! We are so very grateful for your hard work Pete. You certainly made not only Mum cry, but you made her day. Thank you so much.
