Lost Ring in Beach Sand, Beach Haven LBI, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder
Julie got in touch with me about helping recover her husband’s lost wedding ring. She explained that they had a very good idea where it had been lost. He had placed the ring in the cupholder of their beach chair for safekeeping, and when they packed up for the day, they accidentally left it behind. Fortunately, they knew the exact location where they had been sitting.
I told Julie I’d head right over. We met at the dune walkover, and she had the area marked perfectly. After she showed me the spot, I fired up my detector and began searching. Just a few swings later, I got a solid signal. One scoop of sand later, her husband’s wedding ring was safely in my scoop.
Julie was amazed at how quickly I was able to recover the ring, and it was another happy ending to what could have been a very stressful day at the beach.
At Julie’s request, no photos were taken or shared to protect her family’s privacy.
I was on the road heading home from a recovery, when I saw a message come across from Alan. He lost a very sentimental gold charm, on the volleyball court the day before and was very interested to see if I would be able to locate it with my metal detector. He told me it was a private location, and with that I knew I had some time before I had to get to his recovery. I asked him to give me a call later on in the evening and I would see what other calls I had in that area and try to schedule them together. As it turns out, I was heading up to that area the next morning and told Alan I would do his recovery right after I finished the first one I had already scheduled . I got all the details I needed, as he was 95% sure the Charm was on the volleyball court. Once I got there I made a couple of paths along the one side of the court, when I got a sweet tone from my metal detector, and sure enough, it turned out to be his charm. I sent Alan a picture, which he could not believe that I was able to locate it. He was not in the area anymore, so he requested that I leave the charm with the homeowner. Alan requested to withhold his picture, and I fully understand , some people just don’t want to be on Facebook. Another recovery in the books .
