Gold-tone bracelet with turtle charm, engraved 'M'
Description
I lost my gold-tone bracelet yesterday around 3pm near the Daytona Beach Boardwalk and Bandshell on Atlantic Ave. It's a small ~6.5-inch bracelet, gold-tone with a tiny turtle charm and a discreet 'M' engraved on the clasp. The bracelet is a bit worn, with a faint scratch along the clasp, but the turtle charm still shines. It meant a lot to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, so it has sentimental value and I'm really hoping to get it back. If anyone found it, I’d be grateful to hear from you; I’m hoping it’s tucked away somewhere safe near Tropical Smoothie Cafe along the Boardwalk.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
