45 Years of Love Found in the Sand – Wedding Ring Recovery in Beach Haven, LBI
I received a heartfelt call from Carmella, who was understandably devastated after realizing both her wedding ring and engagement ring were missing. She had been enjoying a day in Beach Haven, Long Beach Island (LBI) when she removed the rings for safekeeping, tucking them into her bathing suit while applying sunscreen.
It wasn’t until the next day that she discovered they were gone. Carmella was almost certain she had lost them near the waterline while bending down to pick up seashells.
Despite the delay, I reassured her to stay calm—I would do everything I could to help. Since it was a busy Sunday afternoon, I decided to wait until the crowds had cleared before heading to the exact spot she described. She mentioned they had been sitting near the chairs, so I started there first, just in case anyone showed up and set up for the evening.
Within just five minutes, I received a sweet, unmistakable signal—and up came Carmella’s stunning wedding set, gleaming from beneath the sand. I immediately sent her a photo, and she was overwhelmed with joy and emotion.
We arranged for her to come retrieve the rings the next day at my home. After 45 years of marriage, these rings held deep sentimental value. Returning them was not only rewarding—it’s what makes this job so meaningful.
