This ring find began when I got a phone call from a local named Phil who said a couple on Queen’s Beach in Waikiki lost a wedding band in the dry sand. I told him I could be there in about 15 minutes. I also told them to stop looking and just draw a box around the area. I heard him shout out “Stop digging!” Parking was a breeze as it was starting to drizzle. When I got down to Queen’s Beach Phil introduced me to Edwin and his lovely wife Paola, who were on vacation from San Diego, California. The ring was Edwin’s and he said it was a Tungsten gun metal gray ring. The box was already drawn in the sand and you could see all the disturbed sand from hunting for the ring. I started the grid search on the west side and worked east. First target fell through the scoop. Not a ring. Next target on the drawn grid edge BOOM! Tungsten ring. Elapsed time 45 seconds and Vacation saved! Much Aloha to Edwin & Paola!
