Recovery #494

Dennis Burlingame

Got a call from fellow Ring Finder Matty St Germain asking if I had time to go to Manasquan to look for an earring. I took the number of the girl, called and told her I'll be there in half hour. Got to the beach and met Ava and her brother Davif. Ava said they were in the water and when she shook her hair out the earring handed down from her grandmother came out of her ear and flew into the sand. She had the match but when I checked it with the detector, I only heard it if it was on end, so I kinda lost hope in finding it. I checked the area in from of her towels with no luck. She said it could of been off to the side alittle, so I turned and in the first sweep looking down I saw the earring laying on top of the sand. I guess sometime all you need is a good eye to recover something. Anyway Ava was glad to get her grandmother's earring back. A great happy ending.

While at work I got a text from Katie asking for help in finding her grandfather’s ring lost in her backyard. Told her I’d come out after work to help. It seems her husband Homer was wearing the ring while gardening and it flew off his finger while tossing weeds he pulled. I turned on my detector and it was going crazy with interference from somewhere. I lowered the sensitivity to the lowest I could go but it really didnt help. After looking for awhile with no luck I was getting frustrated so I called my buddy Matty St Germain asking if he had any ideas that would help. He told me I had to turn the sensitivity back up to where I usually have it and deal with the interference and listen for carefully for signals. I did but still no luck in the area Homer thought the ring should be. I decided to detect outside the area and about 10 feet off to the side I got a good signal and looking down there was Katie’s grandfather’s ring in the tall grass. I turned off the detector and walked towards Katie saying the interference was to bad and the look of disappointment changed quickly to joy when I showed her the ring in my hand. A great feeling giving back something so special.

Recovery #492

Got a call from Kevin for help finding his girlfriends Nelly ring lost at Asbury Park beach. Told him I'd be right there. He said they were enjoying the day at the beach and Nelly took her rings off and put them in her pants pocket. Laying down on the blanket one fell out and not knowing it, it flew off when they picked up the blanket. I started detecting but wasn't having much luck, but moving over I got a gold tone and sure enough there was her ring. I knew she was glad seeing the smile of excitement on her face.
