Jess contacted me with an urgent request. She had flown in from Australia to attend a friend’s wedding in Tutukaka, and during the evening, she lost her valuable engagement ring.
They had checked the bins in the bathrooms, the car interior, and various other areas of the venue where the ring could have been lost, but to no avail.
Someone recommended they contact me, especially since they were leaving Tutukaka the next day to head back to Australia.
I arrived first thing the next morning and went through the “20 Questions” to identify areas of highest probability. I agreed with their reasoning that the parking paddock was a very high-probability location for the loss. Jess pointed out the area where their car had been parked, and I started the grid search, beginning wide to ensure the surrounding area was also cleared.
A couple of minutes later, I found a beautiful diamond engagement ring. The two-tone gold/platinum band was perfectly camouflaged against the dried grass cuttings. You could have looked directly at it and not seen it.
I held it up to show Jess, and her face lit up. 🙂
Job done, and another irreplaceable ring safely back on the finger.
Thanks for doing such an amazing job Pete, we’d completely given up hope!
