Silver compass pendant on black leather cord
Description
I lost my silver compass pendant on a black leather cord yesterday around 3pm near the Riverfront Park overlook off Front Street, in downtown Mankato, close to the Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center. It's a tiny compass with a blue enamel dial and a small dent along the rim; on the back, the initials 'A.Y.' are etched and easy to spot. The cord is a little worn, giving it a vintage feel, and this piece means a lot to me because it was my grandfather's gift. If anyone found it, I'd really appreciate getting it back, it has sentimental value and I'm hoping to reunite with it soon.

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.
