Wedding Band Missing, Longbranch NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder
Around 1:00 in the morning, I noticed an email on my business page from Omar about a lost ring. I sent him a quick text to get some basic details and asked him to give me a call since it would be much easier to discuss everything over the phone.
Omar explained that they had spent the day at the beach, and his ring had disappeared. He believed it was either where they had been sitting or somewhere along the mid-slope down near the waterline. Since low tide was approaching overnight, I told him I’d head out first thing in the morning in case the ring had already started moving toward the surf.
When I arrived, I used the photos Omar had sent along with the beach access paths to line everything up. The tide was nearly at its lowest point, giving me the best chance of success. I began searching the entire area where he believed the ring had been lost, carefully covering the slope from top to bottom. Despite a thorough search, I wasn’t finding anything.
Something kept telling me to move a little farther south. Trusting my instincts, I shifted my search just a couple of paths over. Almost immediately, I got a deep, solid signal. One scoop later, there was Omar’s ring resting safely in the bottom of my scoop.
Omar was beyond happy to get his ring back. This recovery is another great reminder that calling NJ Ring Finder as soon as possible gives you the best chance of a successful recovery. Getting to the beach before the tides and crowds have a chance to move or bury a lost item can make all the difference.
On day one of the vacation, what is the number one priority for most at the Jersey Shore ? You guessed it, head to the beach. And thats exactly what Eric and his family did. What almost ended in tragedy, ended up being a memory that will last forever. Eric was playing with his daughter down where the waves push up onto the beach, when things took a turn for the worst. His absolutely stunning wedding ring slipped off his finger and into the water, and within seconds disappeared out of sight. they searched for what seemed like hours, without any luck. Thats when Eric figured he better call for some help, knowing it may be his last chance of ever seeing his wedding ring again. He gave me all the details, and I agreed to be on location ASAP, as the tide was going to turn, and start coming in. Eric also marked the exact location with google maps on his cell phone, which is a huge benefit, especially when he was not able to meet me on the beach. I quickly searched down the slope to about knee deep without any signs of his ring. The water was ice cold, so rather than using my wetsuit, I ran back to the truck and threw on my waders. I knew it wasn’t that deep, as Erik assured me he was holding his daughters hand when the ring slipped off. I made a few more passes going just a bit deeper. Eric showed up just about then, and we confirmed the mark was right on the spot he was sitting all day long. Just a few more passes and the ring was in my scoop. Nothing better than turning tragedy, into memories.
