It is with a heavy heart that we report the death of Ronald Rulon on March 25. He was a long term member and past president of SJMDC. Ron and his wife, Barbara, retired to Florida, but continued to come to meetings when they were back in New Jersey.
Heath Funeral Chapel in Lakeland Florida is handling the arrangements.
RIP Ron

It is with a sad heart that we mourn the passing of one of our longtime members, Ed Laub, who passed from complications of COVID-19. He was best known for his passion for metal detecting and his gold claim in Arizona. He is survived by his wife, three daughters, and numerous grandchildren. He will be cremated in Arizona and brought back to New Jersey.

RIP Ed!
The State of NJ is still under COVID Rules. This means our monthly meeting CANNOT be held, as the Borough of Haddon Heights will not open up the municiple building for gatherings.
As soon as things change we will post on social media.
One of our members found a class ring. With the help of some other members, they were able to track down the owner.
Greetings Dan,
First, thank you for reaching out to me regarding my daughter Cecilia’s 8th grade graduation ring. Also, a HUGH thank you to your club and the member who found it! Please let me know what I need to do in order to have the ring returned. She is going to be SO SURPRISED!
Just a little history on how she lost her ring. We were vacationing in LBI and were on the beach near Beach Haven when she realized her ring was missing. We also have a home on Brant Beach and she could have lost it there as well. I am sure you understand the mixed emotions at the time when she realized her ring was missing, aka LOST!
Please feel free to contact me with next steps. I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmest regards, Mj

Today is International Metal Detecting Day. I hope you are all out getting out to swing your detector. Hopefully you will swing it over something good!!
I want you all to follow the Metal Detecting Code of Ethics:
From our president:
Over the past couple of years, the club has been involved with the Sportsman Association in an attempt to keep the Department of Fish and Wildlife Management from closing the lands to metal detecting.
The Department of Fish and Wildlife has decided to stop issuing permits based on inaccurate data. As a result I am asking that our members contact the Fish and Wildlife management requesting that they re-state the permit process that was previously in place.
The e-mail addresses are dave.chanda@dep.nj.gov larry.herrighty@dep.nj.gov and dave.golden@dep.nj.gov. Please be courteous in your communication. Being rude or nasty will not help our cause.
It is always nice to see a lost item returned.
A shopper lost her ring in a very large and crowded mall during the Holiday Season. They took to Social Media. The post went viral and the ring was returned.
