This ring find began when I got a text from Tom who was on Hale Koa Beach as an Air Force Family was trying to find a lost Platinum & Diamonds Wedding Ring in the dry sand. I assured Tom I could be there soon and he put me in contact with Wes who is the gentleman that lost the ring. Wes was on vacation from Walnut Creek, California and explained he was throwing a football and the ring slipped off his finger and disappeared somewhere in the dry sand. He told me they had been digging for awhile, where they thought it fell, but couldn’t locate the ring. I told Wes to have everyone stop digging and to relax on the beach I would be there in about 25 minutes. Thankfully, when I arrived there was several parking available. As I walked down the boardwalk I heard someone yell, ” Joe we are right here.” I looked towards the beach and the entire family was chilling on the beach, awaiting my arrival. Wes had already marked off the area with small fish nets so I started my search in the area I saw they were digging. First two targets were Lincoln Cents, then a small aluminum disc. I was now out of the area previously dug and the family was starting to wonder where the ring could be. Then a somewhat scratchy tone and after two full scoops there was Wes’s Platinum & Diamonds Ring in the scoop. Someone must have stepped on it. Wes immediately put the ring back on his finger and when I asked if he could remove it for a pic it was stuck. That’s actually good so we took the pic as it was. Vacation saved! Aloha to Wes and his wonderful family.
