I was out detecting till 3am and got a wake up text from Jessica at 730 asking if I could help locate her wedding band she lost the night before. I was tired but said yes, i had time before they opened the beaches up. Jessica was ment to have her ring back. She was down watching the fireworks the night before and when she got home noticed her ring missing. She really didnt give me much information as to where to look. She just told me somewhere between 3rd and 4th ave mid beach. Told me what her ring looked like. I didnt have much hope with such a large area to look in but figured id give it a try. Got down to the beach and started detecting from the end of the walkway mat they have down towards 4th ave. Looking at the sand there weren’t many foot prints or butt impressions showing people were there so i figured id move down towards the water where there were. Heading back to where i starting on an angle towards the water, i wasnt 15 feet and got a great signal and figured id check it out and after scooping up some sand there was a gold ring in my scoop. It was hers. The first and only thing i dug. I feel like i must of been guided there. I went back to my car to phone her and give her the good news. She couldnt believe it and came down to meet me and get her ring back. A great and happy ending.

Got a call from Mia asking for help in locating her daughter Rebecca’s ring she lost the day before on the beach. It was a gift from her late grandmother. Told her I would and met up with them at the beach. They gave me 3 options as to were it might be. It would either be where they were sitting, at their beach locker or in their front yard at the house. Rebecca said she didnt do anything but sit on the beach and I figured just sitting you wouldnt loose a ring. So we went to the locker where they put their beach items in, it might of slipped off while putting stuff away. She pulled everything out of the locker and it wasn’t in there. I turned on my detector and on the first sweep i got a great signal and sure enough there was her ring. She couldnt believe it and was so grateful to have it back. He smile showed it all.

I woke up to find a missed late night text from Ingrid asking for help in finding her lost rings. I texted her to call me and she did a short time later. She told me she was visiting for father’s day from Georgia and was spending the day at Belmar beach when she took off her rings to put lotion on and placed them on the towel and forgot about them. Of course when they left they flew off the towel into the sand. She was in Paterson,NJ and said she would draw a map to show me where she was sitting. When I got to the beach I took a picture of the area and asked he to place an X where to search as well. I got to the area and there were signs of someone had detected there the night before. My hopes sank but started detecting anyway. Having no luck I looked at her map again and decided to move to the other side from where i was searching and on the 3rd pass I got a good signal and there was her wedding band in the scoop, then followed by her engagement ring. I couldnt believe it. I texted her a picture of the rings and she was so happy I found them. She drove straight from Patterson to meet me and get her rings back on her hand. A great ending to what could of been a bad weekend.

While home on a morning break I got a text from Jhoeth asking for help in finding their bracelet they lost the day before on Belmar beach. I had time before I had to go back to work and told him id go down to look. He sent me information on where he was. When I got there, there were people sitting in the spot and the were nice enough to move their chairs for me to search. I saw foot prints and a detector coil imprint in the sand and knew someone was there this morning hunting and hoped they didnt find it.I searched but no luck. Thinking it was gone already, I was going to give up but figured Id widen the area some and about 8 feet from where I was I got a nice signal and there was his bracelet in my scoop. I sent him the good new and told him if he could be at my job by 2 oclock he could meet me there. Well he got there at 3 and I was already driving, so I called my supervisor and he was able to get the bracelet out of my car and return it to him. Didnt get a picture of him and the return but he texted me telling me how grateful he was. A happy ending for all.

Got a call from Frank asking for help in finding a platinum wedding band. Told him i could come over after work and he agreed. When I got there he told me he had a tree service over on the weekend and one of the worker lost his wedding band while working. He gave me an area between 3 trees where it could be. The only problem was there was years worth of dried leaves at the base of the trees, well over a foot deep. After serching abit and coming up with no ring, his wife who was watching said to try around the tree to the right of where I was and sure enough I got a good signal and putting my pinpointer down into the leaves I saw the ring. Im sure the worker is going to be glad to get his ring back.

While out shopping I got a message from Christine asking for help in finding her engagement ring she lost in her back yard. I told her id come out as soon as i was done. I met her at her house and she explained she was playing volleyball with her daughter and felt her ring fly off her finger. Her husband ordered a metal detector and had it overnighted, but using that they still couldnt find her ring. That morning the whole family was out looking but still no luck. Someone mentioned about people who look for lost rings for people and she found me on google. She showed me where they were playing and i started detecting. The 2nd signal i heard was her ring. She couldn’t believe how quick i found it. Another happy ending with a big smile to show for it.

Got a call from Raymond asking for help in finding his girlfriends ring at Bradley Beach. While enjoying the day she took off her rings and put them in the side pocket of their beach bag. Raymond’s wallet was in the same pocket and when he went to get it, the rings fell out into the sand. They were able to find them all but one. I met him and he showed me where they were sitting and after a few passes with the detector I located her ring. A happy ending to a nice day on the beach.

Recovery at Spring Lake NJ,

While enjoying the day at the beach, Jami took off her necklace she received for her communion and placed it on the arm of her beach chair. She took it off to put lotion on and not to get a cross tan line on her chest. She went and moved the chair to under her umbrella for shade forgetting her necklace. She tried to find it but couldn’t. I met her at the spot she was sitting and at first couldn’t find it, but going over the area again I finally got a faint signal and found her necklace. The small size of the necklace and she covered it with sand to bury it deeper looking for it made it a harder signal to hear. I’m just glad I was able to reunite her with her cherish necklace. A great happy ending.
