Gordon and his newly wed wife of 3 months where enjoying a romantic picnic in Townsville park. Gordon’s wife took her wedding and  diamond engagment rings off and  sat them besided  her on the rug to put on  more sun screen lotion. Metal detector hire She didn’t want to gunk up  her rings with oil – which is  quite normal. When it was time to leave, the picnic blanket was picked up and shaken out quite vigorously sending the rings flying.  Just then it dawned on her the rings where not back on her hand.  A frantic search followed with the diamond engagment ring being found quite  quickly, to  great relief  sitting on the grass  close to where the picnic rug was first picked up.  This must have fallen off before being flicked with the grass bits. It was  first  assumed the wedding ring fell of in the same spot  as the engagment ring but  a detailed hand and knee search failed to find her wedding band anywhere nearby.  They widened the search to the estimated rug flick  zone walking and looking as closly as  possible to no avail.  Day became night by now friends and family had joined the search  with no sign of the ring. The search called off for the  night husband Gordon explored an idea and searched  google for a  local metal detector hire place and came across www.jewelleryrescue.com.au Australia Wide. Our cost effective hire comes with a skilled operator with the know how to track down wayward jewellery if and where  possible.  Many people just hire machines with no training and soon learn it isn’t as easy as they first thought.  Often there is much metal  junk under the ground making things difficult. When emotionally stressed  it is near impossible.  I contacted one of two local Townsville  guys to assist Gordon and  his family in their search for the remaining  ring.  The  way the detectorist told me what happened was they search the spot the rug  was picked up - no joy. Then the second  area of 10m x 10m where the ring was thought to be flicked off the rug, this found bottle caps and ring pulls by the handful. (We must dig them up to make sure we dont miss the gold ring which sounds similar at times.)  It was then decided to extend that search range as the end of a blanket is almost moving at a speed of a whip and could really fire of a metal item like a ring.  Well sure enough about 14 meters away pretty much straight out the ring was found 1.3 hours later  basically just nestled into the grass making it harder to see to the  naked eye.  Gordon’s wife was esctatic as her hopes where fading with the search areas being extended out getting larger.  But  now she was hugging our detectorist almost forgetting she was married so I was told with hugs and kisses. Thankfully he was rewarded an additional $80 making the whole job $200 even.  The base fee covers expenses the reward  helps us buy new  equpiment periodically.  So another win for our customers and Townsville JR team. We care.
