Which road should you take from your part of the township?
It depends where in Middletown you start, because the township spreads across roughly 40 square miles. From Lincroft or the neighborhoods near Brookdale Community College, pick up the Garden State Parkway at Exit 109 or Exit 114 at Red Hill Road and head north to Exit 117 in Hazlet. From the Bayshore, Route 36 runs west past Port Monmouth and ends at that same Parkway interchange. From River Plaza, New Monmouth or Chapel Hill, Route 35 north through Hazlet is usually the simplest. Every version finishes the same way: west into Matawan, then Route 34 south to number 1102.
The lot is right outside the door. Aberdeen is open Saturday from 11 to 4 as well as weekdays, handy if you ride the North Jersey Coast Line out of Middletown station all week and only have the weekend free.
Why the jewelry from Middletown is so varied
Close to 67,000 people live in Middletown, which makes it the largest municipality in Monmouth County, and it has been settled since the 1660s. It grew as a string of villages rather than a town center, and they still feel different from one another. The Bayshore sections of Belford, Leonardo and Port Monmouth have fishing boats, the Leonardo State Marina and the old Seabrook-Wilson House on the water. Lincroft has Thompson Park and the college. Navesink and Locust sit on the high wooded ground above the river, where Hartshorne Woods Park is. Kids from every one of them have been hunting fossils in Poricy Brook for generations.
What comes out of those households is just as mixed. A captain's gold chain and a worn wedding band from a Bayshore family. A diamond cocktail ring from a Navesink estate. Sterling flatware from a colonial on Kings Highway. Class rings, gold coins someone put away in the 1970s, and a watch nobody has wound in years. We do not lump any of it together. Each piece is weighed and priced on its own.
How a mixed Middletown lot is sorted before anyone names a number
Pieces are separated by metal and by purity first. 10K is 41.7 percent gold, 14K is 58.5, 18K is 75 and 22K is 91.7, and the XRF analyzer reads which is which without scratching or acid. Sterling at 92.5 percent silver is set apart from silver plate, and gold-filled pieces from the solid ones. Coins are checked for date, mint mark and condition before anyone treats them as bullion. Rings with stones are split into two lines on the offer, one for the metal and one for the diamond.
If you are clearing a parent's house in Lincroft or Locust, the estate buyers service can come to you, and the New Jersey estate jewelry guide explains what to set aside before anything is sold. Loose and mounted stones are covered on the diamond buyers page.
An estate, handled one piece at a time
“Austin purchased a few pieces of gold from my estate. He was courteous and explained the process and gave me the exact dollar amount before processing any of the pieces.”

Which Middletown sections do sellers come from?
All of them. The Bayshore villages along Route 36, Lincroft and New Monmouth in the middle of the township, River Plaza and Chapel Hill near the Navesink, North Middletown by the bay, and the Navesink and Locust sections out toward the Shrewsbury River. Holmdel and Keyport households use the same Aberdeen counter.
What Middletown households bring to Route 34
Broken, single, dated or tangled, it makes no difference to the metal value. Open a category to see how that type of item is judged.
1102 Route 34, just south of Matawan
Once you are through Matawan heading south on Route 34, the store is on the road itself with parking at the door. Weekday and Saturday hours are listed below, and Sunday is the one day it is closed.
What happens once you walk in from Middletown
Everything goes on the counter where you can see it. Each item is read on the XRF analyzer, weighed on a certified scale, and grouped by purity, with coins, signed jewelry and diamonds quoted separately. The offer is tied to that day's live spot market. Say yes and you are paid in cash before you leave. Say no and you pack it back up, owe nothing, and get no follow-up calls.
A Bayshore family chain, a Navesink estate ring, a box of coins from Lincroft? Bring it to Route 34 and watch it tested, free.
