Community members with metal detectors were urged to turn out last Saturday November 7 in the hunt for a lost wedding ring.
As detailed in the Mail on October 23 local couple Emma and Piers were seeking the community’s help after Piers lost his wedding ring after a night out celebrating their second anniversary at Castlemaine’s Railway Hotel on Friday October 9.
Hearing about their plight local metal detecting enthusiast Bill Sikora came to their aid and organised last Saturday’s ring hunt. Volunteers spent three hours retracing the couple’s steps from the Railway Hotel, through the Camp Reserve and along Forest Street and Bruce Street but unfortunately the ring was not found.
Determined not to give up Emma and Piers have pledged a $150 reward for the ring’s return and Mr Sikora has kindly chipped in a further $150. See the Mail for the full story.
