Buried Wallet With NYC Police Shield

[bergie]

(UPDATE TOWARD BOTTOM OF PAGE)
So this follows the post about our Sunday Hunt that produced silver, a large cent and much more. I had mentioned Goingdown found this cool item -- he told me to go ahead and post. He found a buried wallet with roots all through it and when he opened the wallet to find out what was metal he found this...(see photo). Turns out I know the owner of the wallet but I didn't know him back then, so I had no idea it was lost in 2001. Needless to say it will be returned to him, not a single dollar was in it -- yes that's our story and sticking to it, but it's true...cool find of the day.

(To answer person below -- You can't tell his full name...it's only partial and signature is not readable...I thought about that.)

anyone that know how to use a computer can get the full name with the information you have showing... like I said be4 everything should be block out... there are people in this world that prey on people an you are givingthem a tool by posting this the way you did...

try your name on this search then come back and see what you think

that pipl.com actually has some of my info wrong. I can tell they gather info off the net though, by the incorrect info they have. I'm glad it's wrong, lol.

Bergie, where are you? Did you return it yet??

 

[Mr.Jody]

So, you found it with a MD?

 

[bergie]

Thanks for the comments...waiting for him to return from a trip so I can give it to him. Have not talked to him yet, but will post when I get his reaction and any details of him remembering losing it...yes, found with a detector,,,and found by an ex cop by the way (my friend, not me).

Great find Bergie!

While I agree with Creeper that we should be careful about posting private data, all I see is the guy's name, a bad photo and the fact that he used to be an NY cop. I can gather that much on people by opening a newspaper. If it showed his SSN and DOB, that would be different.

one of my points I was tryin to say was what if this guy was a undercover agent an someone by chance seen this on here an figured out he was the one that narked his friend or relative out... other then the name an ssn#.. I was only tryin to look out for both people the poster an the person who lost the item...

Excellent points creeper!

UPDATED!!!!Buried Wallet With NYC Police Shield

I just spoke to the owner of the wallet and he's very appreciative and remembers losing it 10 years ago while cutting high grass in a big area on the riding mower. He looked for it for about a week then gave up. He had a big pain getting another badge too. He'll be happy to get everything back, but at this point it's more nostalgia. He was shocked though. (He is still in Florida, but will be back soon to claim it.)
