Wedding Ring lost on the beach, Manasquan NJ, recovered by Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder
David was enjoying the day on the beach, when he did what many others do. Remove their wedding ring and place it somewhere for safe keeping. Then he enjoyed the entire day on the beach, swimming, relaxing, having some food and drinks, etc. Now comes the dreaded part of the fantastic day, pack up time. That in itself is pretty depressing, so most are not thinking about the prior events and precautions they took, and grab up their belongings, and head to the car for the long drive home. Several hours later after David arrived home it hit him !!! Oh no, my wedding ring, and exactly as you thought, I was missing !!!! So David finally accepted the fact that it must have fallen out of his shorts pocket and into the sugar sand somewhere where he was sitting. David was able to locate my services and reach out wanting to know if I could assist. Luckily for David, he was able sitting very close to some fixed structures on the beach, and gave very detailed measurements to his location on the beach. Once I arrived I searched the entire location and had no luck, I remember him saying there were stairs directly across from his chair, which meant I needed to look a few feet closer to the ocean. Sure enough, one path further and David’s ring was in my sand scoop. I snapped some pics and sent them to him. He called immediately in total shock. We agreed the best way to return the rings was through certified mail, as he was just to far to make the return trip to the Jersey shore. David also requested to not post his picture on social media, which I truly respect his decision.
The night prior to Carries phone call, her son and some friends were over in Seaside Height NJ, on a small but well-known beach they call Sunset Beach. The were messing around like all teenage kids do, when his chain broke and his cherished cross went missing. It was pretty dark that night, but that did not deter their search efforts. Unfortunately they came up empty handed. They returned the following morning and again had no luck. The cross and location were posted on one of the local Facebook pages, where Carrie grabbed my number and called to set up the recovery. She gave me exact details of where the chain had broken, and within minutes, the cross was in my scoop. I immediately called Carrie, and we agreed to meet down the road in about 15 minutes. Another fantastic recovery of a cherished keepsake in the books.
It was another fantastic day in New Jersey so Denise and her family decided to pack up and head to the beach. Denise’s nephew loves the beach, especially flying kites when the wind is just right. Prior to flying the kite, she removed her necklace and engagement ring. Denise slipped the necklace through her ring and secured the clasp, then placed them both in her top pocket for safe keeping. They both had ran all over the soft white sand, almost covering the entire block, well about 2/3 of it anyhow. It was later on when she looked in the pocket and , OH NO, both were missing. Everyone searched the area for quite some time when they decided a metal detector was needed. They headed down to the local store and purchased one, figuring the necklace would soon be located. Well, unfortunately that did not work, so they decided to call in a professional. Once I arrived and got all the details, I covered the entire area where they were flying the kite, figuring that was the most likely area they would have fallen out of her top pocket. With nothing to show for my effort, we decided the next most traveled area was the top of the tide line, and down a bit to the low tide mark. After a few passes, I asked them to move back a little, and sure enough, very close to the chairs, was the spot my metal detector sniffed out the ring and necklace. Everyone was totally amazed, and the best I can figure, either the necklace never made it into her top pocket, or coincidently it fell out right in the area they had set up the chairs and stuff. Regardless another happy ending !!!!
