Kazz Preston has turned her hobby of metal detecting into a full-time gig to help people recover lost items, and the rewards are plenty.

“I’ve had some incredible ones,” she told Neil Breen.

“I did see a lady had lost her husband’s ashes in a rose gold locket.”

The Gold Coast based detectorist saw her post on Facebook and she managed to find the locket, and give it back to the woman, holidaying from Perth.

“That was a really special one!”

She advises people to try and remember the general area where they have realised they have lost something, particularly on the beach, by placing a marker there so she knows where to start her search.

“This summer, I have had 17 men’s wedding rings.”
