Lost Pendants West Orange, NJ… Found!!!
Half the Mission Accomplished. – Shout out to @njringfinder for the lead on this one.Not every recovery ends with everything being found, and that’s just the reality of this metal detecting.
Tom reached out after losing two gold pendants while golfing at Francis A. Byrne Golf Course. He was wearing a chain with a circular religious pendant and his great-grandfather’s gold cross when, sometime during the first four holes, the clasp came undone.
Thankfully, the chain stayed around his neck. Unfortunately, both pendants were gone.
That’s when Greenwood Detecting got the call. 
Our first trip focused on the first four holes where Tom believed the pendants had fallen. After a thorough search, we came up empty.
On the second trip, we decided to focus on the fourth hole. That’s where Tom first noticed the chain hanging around his neck. We concentrated on the area where he had taken his second shot, and this time we got a great signal. 
A few minutes later, we recovered the circular religious pendant! 
We were convinced the gold cross had to be nearby.
We searched the surrounding area over and over, then returned two more times to expand the search. We covered every area that made sense, but despite our best efforts, Tom’s great-grandfather’s cross never turned up.
Recoveries like this are bittersweet. We’re incredibly thankful we were able to return one meaningful piece of jewelry, but we never like leaving a search with unfinished business.
So here’s where you can help. 
If you were golfing at Francis A. Byrne Golf Course and happened to find a gold cross pendant, please reach out. Even if you find it weeks, months, or years from now, I’d love to hear from you. We know exactly who it belongs to, and would love nothing more than to reunite Tom with this special family heirloom. 
Treasure hunting is full of incredible wins, but it also keeps us humble. Sometimes you find everything. Sometimes you only find part of the story. Either way, we’ll always give it everything we’ve got.
