Whether you’re a person working full-time in an office or have just started college with the biggest dreams, there are some things that you hold very close to your heart. Ranging from that precious locket with your name engraved on it to the first love letter you got during school, memorabilia serves as a doorway to a whirlpool of nostalgia. The story of Amy Goetz is something that revolves around one such special object close to her heart that she lost 18 years ago on a beach in Jacksonville, Florida.
The story started when a Facebook user named John Porcella found a ring on the Jacksonville beach while metal detecting. He posted an alert about it along with pictures on the Facebook group ‘Jacksonville Beaches Lost, Found & Stolen’.
After posting the message, Porcella got quite a few responses from different people in the group regarding tracing the owner of the ring.
After quite a few attempts, Pocella got hold of the original owner of the ring from the engravings on the ring. Turns out the ring belonged to one Amy Goetz from Collins Hill high school situated in Georgia. The most interesting part lies in the fact that the ring was lost in 2002 when Goetz visited the beach in Florida and after 18 years it was found by Porcella.
The ring was finally returned to its original owner and she was more than overjoyed to get back a piece of her school days in such an unexpected manner.
