Sheila contacted me today about her fiancé’s chain and cross that were accidentally left on the beach in Ventnor, NJ. The surf was rough yesterday, so he decided to take it off before going into the ocean. Forgetting that it was in the side pocket of the beach chair. The jewelry dropped into the sand when packing up.
They didn’t realize it was missing until after they got home and were extremely upset because it is very sentimental. I met with the couple on the beach and they gave me the approximate location where it could have been lost.
Something in the distance caught my eye as I was walking around detecting. It glistened for a second, so I decided to walk toward it. It turned out to be the edge of the cross peeking out of the sand! It’s a great feeling when you find what you’re looking for, but it’s extra special when you recover something so sentimental.
