I realize that that sort of detective work isn't for everybody, but people do tend to assume that it costs money when usually all it takes is a bit of perseverance.

Actually, that is a real fine thing to do.
I remember once in the 60's when I was surfing at a Sydney beach, it was late in the day and most people had gone home. I was approached by a guy some 25 years old, who asked me to help look for his wifes wedding ring which had come off her finger in the surf. I knew I'd have more chance flying to the moon than to find that ring in the sand with those pounding waves....still, I searched for an hour or so with that guy and his young wife. I can still remember her crying and crying.
I still think of that couple some times, they must be near on 70 years old now, and I bet, they would just love to have that ring, that first wedding ring for them both.
