Firstly, I don't think this constitutes a true riddle. It is generally accepted that to truly be a riddle the answer must somehow be contained within the question. It must be able to be worked out in a logical manner by deconstructing the question and (usually) using metaphor, similie, allegory or other literary/figurative device in order to intuit the answer.
To me, this is more of a guessing game.
Having said all that.............my attempt at logically working it out.........
How did he get to the island? I'm assuming by boat or plane.
Therefore.........his plane or boat ticket.
It fits in his pocket and reminds him of home since that is where he boarded said plane or boat.
