Recovery in Asbury Park NJ Dennis Burlingame. 908 489 2371, Got a call from Tina asking for help in finding her wedding set she lost on Asbury Park beach. Told her I’d be there as soon as possible. She met me at the beach entrance and took me where she was sitting. Seems while enjoying the day at the beach she took off her rings and placed them in her husbands hat while putting lotion on her daughter’s, but didnt let her husband know they were there. He went to put his hat on and the rings through out into the sand. I search an area they thought they might of landed but didnt hear them. I moved under the tent they had set up and got my first signal and out came ring number 1 just behind her husbands chair. Had her move the chair and found the second one under where his chair was sitting. She couldnt believe how quick I found them. A great happy ending to what could of been a sad day.

Got a text about a lost ring in Long Branch NJ. After calling Anthony, I agreed to meet him at the beach. Anthony met me at the entrance of the beach and took me down to where ring was lost. He said he was playing volleyball when the ring flew off his finger. He stated he and his friends searched for an hour with no luck. I started searching the area with no luck. So I started a grid search and after a few passes I got the signal I was hoping for and sure enough there was his ring at the edge of the search area. Anthony was so happy to have his ring back on his finger where it belongs. Another happy ending.

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. 

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.

Got a text from Victor asking for help in finding 2 lost rings in Asbury. He had already driven home so he gave me the best information he could about where the rings might be. He had put them in the pouch on his beach chair and forgot about them. He thinks they fell out when he folded the chair to leave the beach. I went down and searched the area for acouple of hours with no luck. While down there a fellow detectorists I now came up and we were talking and I explained what I was looking for. I called it a night with no luck. While I was home the other guy called me and told me he found 1 of the rings. I got in my car and drove back to the beach to meet him. He only found the 1. It was no where near where I had searched before. I got up early the next morning and started searching the new area. About an hour into the search I found Victor’s wedding band. I texted him the good news and he came back to Asbury to retrieve his rings. Another happy ending for all.

I justed turned off my light to call it a night when my phone rang then stopped, 2 minutes later I got a text from Letishe asking for help in finding her husbands wedding ring. I called her and we agreed to meet at 2 o’clock when I got off work. They were at the hospital leaving and her husband was twisting his ring on his finger when it slipped off and disappeared into the grass along the sidewalk. They looked but couldnt find it. Letishe even went and got a flashlight and was looking for it till 11:30 that night. With no luck she googled how to find a ring in grass which led her to me. I met her at the hospital and she showed me the area where they were and i got to work. I thought I was going to have my hands full with the amount of signals I was getting but I took a sweep and heard a great signal about a foot off the sidewalk pulled out my pinpointer stuck it into the grass and it vibrated and I pshed the grass aside and there was her husbands ring. Got lucky on this one. I showed her I found it and she let out a scream of happiness and gave me a big hug, then called her husband with the good new. A great happy ending for all.

I checked behind where her chair was but no luck, we moved the chair and I went to the front area and I got a good signal and I scooped up her ring.

While watching TV I got a call from Dan if I could help finding his girlfriends ring she lost earlier in the day. I told him id meet him on the beach. He was there waiting when I got there and we walked to the area they were sitting. Turns out Lani took off her ring and Dan put it in an eyeglass case not realizing there were holes in it and her ring fell out while packing up. I started detecting, while doing so Dan pointed at a plastic rapper and said he remembered that.. I started a pass through the area of the rapper and about a foot away from it I got a solid signal and there was her ring. He couldnt believe I Was able to find it and couldn’t wait to tell Lani the good news.

While at work I got a call from a past employee Patty asking if my detector can find eye glasses in a metal frame. I told her it could and she asked for help. Turns out her husband while docking a boat slipped and fell into the water off the dock and his glasses flew off his face into the water. I had at first told her I’d meet her Saturday for low tide but I had a break coming up at work and it was already low tide so we agreed to meet in a half hour. I ran home and threw on a bathing suit and got my detector and headed to the marina. She showed me where he went into the water and it wasnt deep but the bottom was covered in seaweed. I decided not to use my scoop so not to damage his glasses. First signal turned out to be nothing and I moved to the side towards the boat and got another good signal reached down and felt around in the seaweed and felt his glasses. I untangled them from the seaweed and held them up and they were so happy to get them back. Her husband can see clear again and I saved him from having to get a new pair. A great ending to another recovery. Ran back home for a quick shower and back to work. Glad I could help
