Jordon sent me an email yesterday. I called him as soon as I read the email. He was panicked. While on the beach proposing to his girlfriend, he opened the ring box and it was empty. She thought that she was being punked. Jordon thinks that the ring fell out of the box when he opened it. Neither one of them noticed because they were looking into each other’s eyes. 

It was late in the day and I couldn’t get down until morning. I told him I would be there by 6 am.

Jordon continued to look for help. He was able to get a hold of my friend Jeff (we were profiled together in SJ Magazine). Jeff was able to get to the beach last night in the dark. It took Jeff 10 minutes to find the ring. He was able to read the beach and see where it looked like a search had taken place. He found it before Jordon and his dad got to the beach to show Jeff the area. He surprised them when they arrived.

I am so happy for Jordon that Jeff was able to save the day. We have a GREAT group of detectorists in South Jersey that want to reunite people with their lost items. I am proud to be apart of this group. 

If you lose something, call a professional quickly. Take pictures of the area. If you can get GPS numbers, that is a huge help. Mark the area with something. Take note of the time that helps in looking to see where the tide is. Pray to St Anthony. If it is there, I WILL find it.

Happy Holidays

I received a paniced phone call the other day. A husband who was playing basketball in the yard lost his whit gold wedding ring. They searched for a long time and searched the internet. My contact info popped up. I agreed to meet after work.

One should never assume. I thought since there was a basketball court inthe yard that there would be lights. Nope! I didn’t bring my flash light, and it was dark.  I also didn’t expect rain, it started to pour. I didn’t have my rain gear,  It was a fairly large area that included woods.

The Metal Detecting Gods were on my side that night. It was a quick find in less than 5 minutes. I thought that I would be there for hours. I did use my detective skills and started the search in the area I thought that the ring might be in after asking many questions.

I learned to always take my light and rain gear al all searches.
