We welcome citizens as well as corporations to participate in our auctions. The Property and Evidence Officers are not professional auctioneers. The auctioneer will have the final decision on that bid. We have difficulty from time to time hearing people due to noise generated from the building adjacent to the stage. You will need to raise your hand and speak up when bidding so that your bid is not missed.
Jewelry is handled the same as property.
Found jewelry is held for 60 days and if officers are not able to determine the owner it is saved for a jewelry auction. A jewelry auction is held one or two times a year. We use a private auctioneer, Gene Daniels Auctioneer located on Indian River Rd in the City of Chesapeake. This is also advertised in the Virginian Pilot Beacon. You must preregister, with the auctioneer, the day prior or the day of the auction.
