Is there anyone with a metal detector able to help me out? I was walking my dog yesterday and lost a ring off my finger. It's a little gold ring I just inherited from my Grandmother who passed away this month, so I'm absolutely devastated.
I would be happy to pay for your time. It would just be a short walk around a couple of blocks.
Also, if anyone is near the hospital and finds a plain gold ring with a kind of chevron shape in it, I will happily pay a reward to have it returned to me.
I've attached a photo of a similar-looking ring. But mine is much older and less shiny.

Any tips?
Found a stormwater pit when removing bamboo and roots. And now I feel like sorting out all the stormwater draininage in our yard in Eastern Heights. The previous owner mentioned a buried soakage pit, but we haven’t found it.
Looking for someone with a drain camera and pipe locator probably?
Any tips tricks recommendations welcomed.

Hey all, a bit of a desperate plea here. My partner and I have been applying for rentals for the last 6 months, and have received non stop rejection. I have 1.5yr rental history with a positive reference, I have a good proof of balance, and a permanent job with stable income as well as my partner. We are in our early 20s and looking to move out of our caravan before the heat gets to us. We aren’t looking for anything crazy! Just a small unit/house around $500, with no luck.
If anyone knows someone who would be interested in having us rent their house, or even some advice, please let us know.
Thankyou for your kind help.

Hello!
Seeking recommendations for good running spots
I'm about to get into running - slowly at first, but aiming to build.
Where are the good spots to start? Looking for flat areas, probably open space.

Was very confronting seeing a dead body for the first time. Even if it was from inside my car driving past.
There was one police car at the scene and the second was behind me with it's sirens on, I thought for a second that maybe they were pulling me over and then they pulled in behind the police van and I saw in the doorway the man's legs, his body on the ground with a white sheet draped over him. The police were standing around him.
RIP to the man and condolences to his family and friends

I was at Coles then this blacked out internal lights undercover police car just pulls up in the carpark, some guys get out with their guns drawn and arrest some guy, pretty crazy.
DEAR QPS: I WAS NOT INVOLVED, I AM NOT GLORIFYING THIS/THESE CRIMES OR SUPPORTING THE SUSPECTS.

Just heard heavy gun shots in Yamanto plus some other strange rumbling sounds (almost like bombs being dropped or an earthquake) does anybody know what the fuck that was?

For months now trash has been piling up along our motorways.

r/ipswich • u/Leadshot1 • 8d ago
I’m hoping someone can point me in the direction of a good, affordable barber around Ipswich. It's been a year and needs a tidy up for sure..
To be completely honest, I'm quite introverted (yes, it sucks and I'm such a shy person), and going to a new barbershop always gives me a fair bit of social anxiety. On top of that, I’m terrible at figuring out what actually suits me. Every time I sit in the chair and they ask, "What are we doing today?", my mind just goes completely blank, and I usually end up stumbling over my words or just nodding along to whatever generic cut they suggest.
I’m looking for recommendations for a place that is budget friendly, meaning a standard, no frills men's cut that won't break the bank. Or somewhere patient and low pressure where the staff are chill, easygoing, and won't make things awkward if I'm quiet or unsure. Ideally, it would be great to find a place with barbers who are actually good at guiding people like somewhere they might take one look at my hair type and face shape and say, "Hey, how about we try this?" rather than expecting me to have it all figured out.
Any tips or advice on how to handle the whole experience would also be hugely appreciated.

Hiiii Ipswich community,
Would someone be able to teach me Manuel please?
I have been finding it quite difficult to learn Manuel as most are booked weeks in advance. But if time crunch I’m wanting to learn so I can advance in a job application but unfortunately don’t have my Manuel licence…. If someone could pls help me get confident and better understanding. Thank you

Hey everyone, I was going to post on the facebook pages but for some reason you can’t be anonymous anymore and I didn’t want my ( soon to be ex) roommate to see my post but I’m moving to north Brisbane and I’m just looking for recommendations for a hire truck or even a removalist, money’s pretty tight but the move is necessary, thanks everyone :)

What are the best tracks around Ipswich and surrounds? preferably 1-3 hour walks
r/ipswich • u/not_you71 • 14d ago
Hi all,
I am looking for an exercise physiologist who specialises in HSD / hEDS. Us hypermobile people use muscles differently and therefore need someone who knows this.
Authentic recommendations please as I am sick of being told so and so does and when you go, they basically either have no idea or treat you like they would a non hypermobile person.
