Before he died he had a beautiful bracelet made for me from some of the gold he found over the years. I haven't taken it off for over a decade, but tragically lost it in the weekend! I'm desperate to get it back and think I might have lost it in our garden. I've pulled the place apart, so now I'm looking for someone in Wellington with good detection skills to help me urgently find my treasured bracelet before his 13 year anniversary next week. I can't find anyone in wellington to help me find it and a generous reward will apply.

I am sure there will be somebody on here who can help with their CSI skills and a bit of luck find your treasure :)

If you lost it in your garden, I'd put the recovery rate at 95%+ You might want to edit the title of your original post to "Wellington Lost Bracelet" or similar. I'm at the other end of the island, but wish you the best of luck, I've done several recoveries and the smiles at the end always make it worth while

Quick swing in the back yard and then moving some outdoor furniture to get at another area and out it fell from the furniture. One very happy lady. HH 10z

Really pleased you got your bracelet back, I can only imagine how you felt when you lost it. Now thanks to that awesome fella OneOunce, you have it back. Now that is great news. Bet he got a good case of warm and fuzzies when he found it. I got the same when my wife's friend lost her Pandora bracelet in the garden. But your story is so special.

Are you 10z now? Is that the largest nugget you've found? Originally Posted by: kiwisouth What we need is a Like button or something.

You can now see two thanks at the bottom of your post. One is from me, that is our 'like' here on the forums.
