Tiffany bracelet recovered in Avon NJ

  • Avon NJ. Got a call about a lost Tiffany bracelet lost on Avon beach. Nancy was enjoying the day at the beach when she took off her bracelet that her father gave her years ago and went to put it in her beach bag but didn’t know she missed the pocket and it fell into the sand. When she got home and saw it was gone she went back to the beach butcouldnt find it. 2 days went by till her friend told her of our service, thats when she called. I met her at the beach and detected the area where she thought she was sitting but didn’t find her bracelet. We figured it might of been found already and called off the search. I could see her tearing up thinking she lost it forever and felt really bad for her. I thought about it the next day at work and knew how much it ment to her and felt the need to go back after work and try again, this time expanding the area thinking she wasn’t sure where she was. Starting 20 out from where I ended the day before I started working toward where I ended the last search. 4 passes in I was looking down while detecting and happened to see part of the bracelet sticking out of the sand and couldnt believe I found it. I called her and gave her the good news and she was so grateful I didn’t give up and went back to look again. This one was really a happy ending for the both of us.

Lost ring in snow at Ocean Grove NJ

Got a text about a lost ring in Ocean Grove. It’s the first major snow in New Jersey and Jaquelyn and her friends wanted to see the ocean during the snow. When getting back to her car she was brushing the snow off and felt her ring fly off her finger. She looked but couldnt find it. I told her id be there within a half hour ( I haven’t even cleared my car and sidewalk off yet ). When I got there I saw a metal detector laying on the ground, it seems a local girl Emma was detecting the beach ( in a snow storm ) and came across Jaquelyn but couldnt help, her battery went dead detecting. They had already moved the car from where it was park trying to look for it, but showed me the area where the ring should be. I started detecting and on the second target I heard, there was her ring buried in the snow. The smile of joy on everyone’s faces was the best feeling, knowing she got her beloved ring back on her finger. 

Diamond stud earring recovered in Parlin NJ

Got a text from Kim asking if I could help locate her earring she lost while raking leaves in her back yard. I told her I could stop over after work the next day. I drove over to meet her and she showed me where she thought she lost it. She blew herself off with the leaf blower so I started my search in that area. Really it could be anywhere in the back yard so I just started a grid back and forth. Not having any luck she mentioned and area where she was bending over to pick up leaves and I moved to that area. In my forth pass back and forth I got the tone and number ID on the detector I was hoping for and sure enough there was her earring in between the blades of grass. She was in her garage and I turned off my detector and walked over to her and said I think we’re fighting a loosing battle, she lowered her head but then I opened my hand and showed her her earring, and after a couple of choice names she called me a big smile of disbelief that I was able to find it came across her face. Another happy ending and a greatful lady.
