Recovery #443

Matt St.Germain 732-581-0285

I was referred to Amanda and her husband Jimmy by fellow ring finder Jeff Laag Also known as: https://www.facebook.com/LostRingJewelryRecoveryService. While Jeff is away on vacation I am helping him cover his usual areas of searches. While staying in Cape May for their vacation, On the very last full day they were enjoying some time in the ocean and they were both hit by a wave. Jimmy's wedding ring was knocked right off his finger. I spoke with Amanda and after gathering some more of the details from Jimmy, She then gave them to me. I assured her one of us would be out there asap to do a search. I decided I would be the one to make the 1-1/2hr trip to see if I can help. However, I did not tell them I was on my way. I decided to give it a try and hopefully be able to give them a nice surprise before they left town to head home in the afternoon.

Once I got there I went out to the beach and lined myself up with the focal point references Amanda gave me. I started to slowly grid down the slope as the tide went out until I worked my way into the water. After about an hour of searching in the crashing surf I got a nice loud solid tone. After a bit of a battle with the waves, I had Jimmy's wedding ring in my scoop! I walked back out to my car and called Amanda. While on the phone with her I sent her a surprise picture. They were shocked and soo happy I found it! They promptly came to meet me so I could return it. Vacation disaster averted! Another Happy ending!



Recovery #442

While I was down in LBI the other day for an earring recovery I was tagged in a post for a lost ring the same day. I tried to get ahold of Lynne before I left the island but I could not. I even waited around for an hour simply because I was only about 6 blocks away. I had to leave for another ring an hour north. She replied to my comment too late. She also put too many details which I told her to remove them right away. Her husband was so upset about losing his ring he wanted to let it be. I however decided to go back late that night to look anyway. I forgot my headlamp at home so I had to do this one in almost complete darkness. It took a bit over an hour but Persistence pays! I found it! I made a post on Lbi, Lost found & stolen for her to call me.

We spoke about the details and then I surprised her with a photo. She showed her husband Jim to confirm. I met them this morning to return it. They were heading back home. What a perfect end to their vacation. They also told me quite the story. Jim knew Lynne was the one at 11 years old when they held hands. Time went on and they both married others. But sadly their spouses both passed. They reconnected after many years and sure enough, They were married just last summer! What a great story! They used this ring that Jim had for many years as his wedding ring. So happy I could find it for them!

Recovery #441

While I was in Lbi getting ready to head home after another recovery I was contacted by Nicole on behalf of her sister Melissa. While her and her husband Mike were at the beach with the rest of the family Melissa had removed her diamond ring and placed it in her beach chair before going in the water. When they were getting ready to leave Melissa remembered her ring was in the cupholder but it was already too late, It was gone. While they waited for me to make the trip a few good friends of their's went there with a few metal detectors but when I arrived they weren't having much luck. After a few details I began my search and soon after I had her ring in my scoop! Tears of joy and relief ensued! Handshakes and hugs followed! I love what I do!
