Cell Phone Lost in the Bay, Manasquan NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder
Bill called asking if I could help recover his cell phone that had just fell in the water. I told him I was near by and could swing right over.
As he was getting onto the boat somehow it fell out of his pocket and went straight down between the dock and the boat. Luckily he hadn’t tried fishing it out with a net as that will usually push it much farther making the recovery difficult.
I was only in the water a short time when my metal detector gave off a loud signal and BINGO, had his phone in my scoop moments after.
Another example of calling ASAP, and not upsetting the search area, resulting in a fast recovery.
Melissa sent me a message in a bit of a panic—her husband Ed had just lost his wedding ring on the beach and she wanted to know if I was available to help. They were sitting right there when he realized the ring was gone. One moment he had it, and the next, it had vanished into the sand. I reassured them to stay put, letting them know I could be there in about half an hour. When I arrived, I quickly marked off the perimeter around where they had been sitting and got to work. In less than five minutes, I heard the satisfying clink of metal in my scoop. The ring was safely recovered, much to their relief. Another fantastic recovery on the Jersey Shore !!
