Can you tell me any stories about Monmouth County? I'm new to the Bobbie and I live in Middletown. I know there is a lot of history in this town, but what about the beaches?

Hello, do you have any references regarding the buried paper money south of Lakewood? Articles or anything? I’ve turned up empty and am curious as to the source of this? Thank you
