Tapuae Beach Recovery / Reuniting
Briar and her partner were enjoying a lovely Boxing Day at Tapuae Beach (Taranaki, NZ) when a wave suddenly washed up and over where they were sitting. They quickly grabbed their things and moved further up the beach, and it was then that Briar realized that her gold necklace with 3 gold rings on it were now missing. She had earlier taken her necklace and rings off and carefully placed them in a sock for safe keeping - but the sock was now empty! After being contacted to help find a lost gold chain with 3 gold rings on it, Peter, my husband and I met up with Briar and her partner at the Tupuae Beach carpark. We then walked approximately a km along a track towards the beach when Briar suddenly let out a yell of pain. It just wasn't her day! She had just got her first ever bee sting. I scrapped the sting off the sole of her foot and we carried on to the beach. Peter and I started gridding the beach and it wasn't long before I heard the one and only target on the beach. I was pretty confident that it was the lost gold jewellery and with one scoop of sand carefully removed - it was all revealed.
