I was called by the producer of Bondi Rescue to search for a young surfers gold braclet lost possibly while surfing. He was surfing that morning went to the mall realised the braclet was gone.
Well clearly evey detectorist here would be right to assume this is possibly mission impossible. He was a young adult so he was not out too far surfing so there was a slight chance.
The young guy came out with me into the surf we where detecting and recovering alot of junk jewellery but not his braclet, It was the wrong time to search high tide but they dont care about those little details in tv land.
The life guard bet me 20,000 to 1 I wouldnt find it as it turned out he won that bet I lose a $1 lucky I had a few from the surf lol. I warned him he should make that bet with me too often as 70% of water jobs i find the targets and he would be indebit to me for $20K sweet.
Any how the next day I went to Forster NSW and found two diamond rings for a very relived woman in the rock pool up there.
I promised the lad a new search at low tide so i went back to bondi and hunted low tide. But that day sections of the beach was closed of including where i was searching. But the life safers said go in they would keep an eye on me on a sand spit heading out to sea with a fast rip either side.
Conditions where terrible the waves blasted in over the sand bar knocking me back 8 feet at a time. Bloody hard if you hit a target and have to refind it smacked about be several more waves and I an a big solid sort of guy with a built in wave breaker rounded stomach and then try position the scoop in strong water movments to dig.
End of the day JR networks job is to try cover as much of the search area as possible regardless of odds to find it. This sort of no find helps the customer firstly in years to come.
Well I would love pulling that target out for the show...
The New season of Bondi Rescue starts end of January and goes for 12 episodes approx. The way TV land works is they will use this side story to fill in some episode possibly. So we might be in the series or not.
I hope the editors are kind to me lol. Either way I had a lot of fun stirring the cast and crew. Not to shy any more.
