Is there any member who would be interested? Thanks, Steve

My girl and I, we lost our previous silver engagement with stones on it today. We searched for hours and are upset. difficult to find it on the beach and in the bush (our two locations where we believe to have lost it) - half hour away from Gisborne. we are happy to email you details incl GPS coordinates and to pay a reward in cash when found. email us asap when keen. rain and weather can make it more difficult to find over time.
