Julia contacted me about her husband, Trevor, who had lost his necklace while enjoying a beautiful day at the Jersey Shore.
Trevor was out in the water when he ducked under a wave and suddenly felt his necklace flip right over his head. He popped back up in a panic and immediately started searching, but the surf and waves made it impossible to find. That’s when Julia reached out to me.
I asked quite a few questions, and fortunately Trevor had a very good idea of where he was standing when it happened. There was a rope line separating the swimming area from the jetty, and he was confident he had been no farther than the third buoy and within about 10 to 15 feet of it. That narrowed the search area down considerably.
I wasn’t able to get there until later in the day after the swimmers had cleared out and the tide was approaching low. I started searching the north side of the rope and worked the area thoroughly, but I wasn’t getting any promising signals.
As I looked out, I noticed the rope had a significant bow in it from the force of the tide and current. That made me rethink exactly where Trevor would have been standing when the necklace came off. I moved closer to the bowed section of the rope and began searching again.
Almost immediately, I got that sweet signal.
The tone was stronger than I expected, and I had a pretty good feeling I knew why. A few scoops later, I saw the glimmer in my scoop—Trevor’s necklace! And attached to it was his wedding ring, which he had been wearing on the chain. That extra gold explained the beautiful signal I had heard.
Within moments, what had been a stressful day at the beach turned into a celebration. Trevor and Julia were thrilled to have such an important piece of jewelry back in their hands, and I was happy to help make it happen.
Another successful Jersey Shore recovery for Edward Trapper, NJ Ring Finder—helping reunite people with the things that matter most.


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 !!
