Lost CDs near Empire Mine Park, Grass Valley

On Friday around 6:30 p.m., I was strolling the gravel path by Empire Mine State Historic Park when I realized my CDs had slipped from a pocket in my backpack. The sun was low, turning the pines and the creek side into gold, and I scanned the picnic area near the overlook, but they were nowhere to be found. A few labels mark indie bands I’ve collected for years, so losing them feels personal in a way that hurts. If someone happened to pick them up, I’d be grateful to be reunited with them—these songs mean a lot to me.

Golden retriever mix with red collar missing

I lost my golden retriever mix, Scout, yesterday around 5pm near Coloma Bakery & Espresso on Main Street in Coloma, Gold Country. He's about 60 pounds, with a bright red collar and a blue bone-shaped name tag, plus a white chest patch and a small gray scar on his left ear. He’s friendly but wary of strangers, so he might head the other way if he gets startled. This dog means a lot to me—he’s been my hiking buddy for years, and I really need him back. If you spot him around Nevada Street near Empire Mine State Park or by Highway 49 by Sutter's Mill, please message me.

Grey cockatiel with yellow crest, orange cheeks

I lost my grey cockatiel this past evening. It's about 12 inches long from beak to tail, with a bright yellow crest and orange cheeks, and a small blue leg band with the code GZ-12. It has a mostly grey body with a lighter underside and a few ruffled feathers on the chest from molting. I last saw him yesterday around 7pm near Nugget Market on Main Street in Grass Valley; he looks skittish around strangers but is very tame with me and will respond to 'Skye' if prompted. This bird is really special to me—it's a gift from my grandmother, so I’m really hoping to find him soon. If you spot him, please reach out.

14K gold ring with emerald, lost in Gold Country

Yesterday around 3pm I realized I’d lost my 14K yellow gold ring with a tiny emerald centerpiece. It’s a size 6, and the band shows a few small nicks from daily wear; I think it slipped off during a quick walk along Main Street in Grass Valley, near the Empire Mine parking lot. The ring is a vintage-style bezel setting, and the inner band is engraved with 'PP'. It’s really sentimental to me because it was my grandmother's ring, and I’d be heartbroken if it doesn’t turn up. If you’ve seen anything matching, please reach out—I’m really hoping to get it back.

Blue Behringer synth keyboard missing since yesterday

I lost my blue Behringer synth keyboard yesterday around 3pm near Grass Valley Library on Main Street. It's a compact 37-key synth in a slightly scuffed blue aluminum case with a silver front panel. There's a red vinyl sticker with my initials 'LM' on the back and a small dent in the bottom-right corner from a gig last month. It has sentimental value—it was a gift from my mentor and I rely on it for rehearsals and small local gigs. If someone picked it up or spotted it, I’d really appreciate getting it back; you can message me here and we can arrange a pickup downtown or at the Grass Valley Music Store.

Blue-dial Seiko 5 Sports watch with engraved back

I've worn this blue-dial Seiko 5 Sports almost daily for the past year. The watch has a stainless steel bracelet and a cobalt blue dial with white lume markers, plus a day/date window at 3 o'clock. The back is engraved with my initials PK and the date '2023'. It’s in decent shape, with a couple of hairline scratches on the bezel and a tiny nick on the left lug from a minor grab. I last had it yesterday around 3pm while walking along Main Street in Placerville, Gold Country, near the Gold Bug Park entrance and the old courthouse. This watch means a lot to me—it was a gift from my sister and I wear it every day. If anyone found it, please email [email protected] or text; I can meet up at Placerville City Hall if needed.
