Jewellery Rescue

03 Aug 2011

Jewellery Rescue is an Australian wide network of amature and pro detectorists dedicated to the search and return of lost peoples jewellery for a modest fee. The E-TRAC being my prefered search primary detector. It was 3pm - I arrived to search a 1.2km looped running track that Bianca jogs frequently. The target was a beautiful 36 diamond 25 mm pendant that has a matching ring of equal distinctive qualities. I used the twin ring to the pendant made out of the same gold on the E-TRAC to help indicate when the twin was most likly to be found. 12:23. As it turned out, the emotional value of this ring far outweighed any dollar value countless times over. A few days prior to my call from Bianca, she had discovered much to her dismay, the clasp of her strong gold pendant chain impossibly had opened snagged on her top, while jogging that day. Her mother’s irreplaceable pendant was missing. This isn’t just any pendant. It was the one her mother gave to her and formed an emotional connection between them regardless of distance apart. I heard how Bianca’s loving family 20 plus people diligently searched the path numerous times to try and recover it over several days as the path was frequented by many people on walks. Bianca’s Husband wisely put up a few reward posters as many honest people still exist and look for clues as to the real owner. I also added my own reward posters with my own phone number as I can shield people and lady owners from nuisance calls and preserve their privacy. After Bianca and I surveyed the route she took around the jogging track in Chipping Norton, I started E-TRAC-ing as fast as I could go to cover alot of ground without missing possible target items. The E-TRAC finding a surface target has that great familar beep beeeep beep tones as well as the target ID on screen. Many people frequented the path and hope of finding such a distinctive item was diminishing with time. Night was falling, Bianca’s son stopped by to warn me that some drug users frequent the area at night. I thanked him for his advice but stayed detecting and making sure the first leg of the path was completely search both sides before I left.
