You can call him the ring finder. This Keys man searches for people’s lost treasures. Gwen Filosa, Miami Herald
Alex Corpion is a Key West treasure hunter.
No, he’s not out in deep water searching for emeralds and gold in shipwrecks. And he isn’t looking to get rich off his finds.
Instead, Corpion, a 43-year-old who was born and raised on the island, wields a metal detector. He roams the beaches almost daily after his plumbing job and also on the weekends in search of missing jewelry and other keepsakes that have disappeared at sea.
Some of those things mean more to their owners than precious stones.
