Customer thanks Jewellery Rescue

 It was about 7.15am 15 minutes later I received the text that Michels Mothers ring was found and safely back with the person it belonged to - Michel.  Aaron was handsomely rewarded for his first job with us  by Michel. I thanked Aaron and contacted  Michel by phone.  She was very happy with Aaron’s respectful, polite manner and was  also very happy with  the  outcome of  having  her mother’s  keepsake found by  skilled detectorist - especially as her mother’s funeral was later that  very same day….  Michel  our deepest condolences, it also means  a lot to us to be able return such  an irreplacable precious item and memory especially at such a vunerable time ..  I look forward to referring Aaron to future jobs in Melbourne’s SW region and beyond as he is also prepared to  travel to country Victoria.  How far?  Call us and see with your lost items.

The closest Jewellery Rescue Network member was  a real decent guy called Kim in South Brisbane  approximatly 1H 15 Mins away.  They had their grand-daughter over for the  evening enjoying dinner when I called.  Kim being really understanding and  knew what it was like to loose something, agreed to join the  family’s search as they said were not leaving the beach until it was found.  On Kim’s behalf, I asked the family for an extra $20 for fuel given the drive involved. They agreed  and understood  it might cost  extra if the  detectorist  is willing to travel further to search sites.  Sadly  the  petroleum companies  get the  money not us.

On arrival Kim  wasted no time and made short work of the beach search area approximatly 5 m square and the ring was found  within 3 minutes about 60 mms under the sand. The  family where very thankful that Kim came out, at very short notice (which isnt always possible). We thank the family for inviting  us to assist them with our  metal detector experience.  Kim  is  one of  the many good detectorists in many towns and cities across Australia who help  people find their lost  jewellery, by hooking them up  with skilled local detectorists.

Dear Tony,

Firstly, I just want to say Thank you!

When I called you this morning from Melbourne you imediately said that you will try to help me find my mothers heirloom and that you have people all over Australia with professional equipment.  I instantly though that this gentleman, is experienced and understanding of the fact that my bracelet had a sentermental value to me as it was given to me from my mother that had passed away when I was young.

“No job is too small or too big for Jewellery Rescue”  It is just a bracelet!

You were so forthcoming in getting one of your people from Melbourne to call me. We then made arrangements to meet Ben, in a Park in Melbourne’s East at 7:00pm.  He had the relevant equipment to help me find the bracelet.

The outcome was that I found my mothers heirloom, the bracelet she gave me that reminded me of my mother!Again, Thank you Tony for all your help and Thank you to Ben for finding the bracelet and I can only recommend   you to anyone that needs to find Jewellery or there like to give you a call. You and your team are the Best!!

Regards,   Joanne

It all started when i got a call from JR ( Jewellery rescue ) saying he had a job for me for $100 this afternoon, a woman had lost a 22k gold ankle chain ( a gift from her mother that had past away ) while playing cricket in a park about 20min from my place, JR  gave me her pH number & after a bit of phone tag arranging a time & place to meet it was all teed up, so i packed my weapon of choice for the hunt – the two ACE250s fit the bill as it can pick up very small targets & can separate items very well in high trash. so off me, my wife & the kids went with the thrill of the hunt in our veins  , we met up at the arranged place & after i gained a description of the lost item we were off,
now i had a very low expectations of finding the chain as it was very small & we had a large area to detect but ya cant keep a good man down or good wife   so we went at it like a bull at a gate  .
we hunted for about 30min & the tally was 2x $1 & a bit of foil then just as i was about to do a turn in my grid pattern i spotted something out of the corner of my eye so i stepped into undetected territory & spotted on the gold colored grass a very small chain so i waved the coil over it & sure enough it was metal i picked it up & said the grand finallie of words in a hunt like this ” I FOUND IT ” the husband who was on the grass crawling around & the woman who was following my wife around very intently both came running & with much hart felt gratitude & teary eyes   the lost item was returned to the owner   .
then came the surprise a very large hug from the hubby   not what i expected  .
so a very happy ending to a very sad start  , i got $80 in the hand the customer had the chain returned & JR got $20 for organising the job, thank you very much JR for letting me be a part of the Jewellery rescue team.

   We are always looking for skilled metal detectorists, for services  in the Bathurst region today in fact any!!  Australian region big or small. Nothing better than the  satisfaction of returning  jewellery to make peoples days for them.  Contact Tony on 0457870000 to have a chat.

Brad a mate  from Metal detector Hire refered Tom to Jewellery Rescue for our large list of  maintained Australian contacts.

  Tom lost two rings in fact in  the front yard of the house one ring  slipped off the finger close by and  was quickly found sitting on top of the couch grass.  But the other wedding ring  vanished from view some where  in the lawn and or surrounding garden shrubbery. A reasonably small area  for a  metal detector search if we had a metal detectorist person living in that area.  I offered to drive to Blayney from Sydney (3 hours) to Help Tom. I estimated 3 tanks of petrol for the round trip which is starts making the search more expensive.   So instead  as a first option I gave Tom my best Jewellery finding tips to aid him in another visual  search of his front yard.  Some times it is reassuring to know you have back up support a phone call away in case the visual search comes up empty.  Well some hours later Toms  dedicated persistence paid off being on  his hands and  knees combing through the couch grass with his fingers he found his misplaced wedding  ring with much relief.  I think we all know how tough it is to  find things nestled into the grass roots of  some  lawns to Toms credit. 

Well Tom congratulations on your hard work and find I hope we have a  local metal detectorists to help out your community by the next time a piece of jewellery is lost in your region.  Tony  Jewellery Rescue.
