Description
I lost a set of delicate silver brooches with turquoise stones last Saturday while hiking around the Texoma area. I had taken them off near the Lake Texoma Marina, Denison side, around 6:40 p.m. They belonged to my grandmother and feel like a piece of home; I’m gutted at the thought of never wearing them again. I’ve retraced the trails and checked benches along the marina as the sun dipped low and the wind picked up. If you happen to spot a glint of turquoise near the boat ramps or the walking path, please keep them safe for me.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
