This ring find began yesterday when I got a call from Amy, who lives on Oahu. While enjoying the day at Ulua Lagoon, her husband Jan was playing with the kids and tossing them up and out into the water. One of the kids grabbed hold of Jan’s necklace, which had the ring on it and the necklace broke. The ring went flying but in what direction and how far? They were able to find the necklace but not the ring. Jan had assumed the ring would be in the waist to chest deep water he had been standing in. Knowing they were down in front of the umbrellas I told Amy I would hunt the next day. I started the hunt on the Southern umbrella and worked North. I concentrated on the waist to chest deep water. Then after about 30 minutes as I was heading shoreward in ankle deep water I got a nice screaming tone on the Manticore and after two scoops I was surprised to see Jan’s awesome ring in the scoop. I went back to my car and sent a pic to Amy as Jan was working in Waikiki. Her response was “Oh my!!! You found it!!!” I called and Amy said she would tell Jan and he could swing by my house which is 5 minutes from Waikiki, and pick up his ring after work. Jan was stoked to be going home with his ring! Aloha to Amy & Jan!
