Lost White Gold and Diamonds Wedding Ring at Kaimana Beach...FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)


This ring find began when I got a text from Talaya who lives in my neighborhood Kaimuki. While hanging out at Kaimana Beach Sunday with her husband and daughter, Talaya took off her ring to apply sunscreen and set it on a beach chair. She got distracted at the beach and didn’t discover her ring missing until later that day while teaching a work out class. While doing a push up and looking at her hand she gasped, “Where’s my ring?” They retraced her steps back to Kaimana Beach and her husband even sifted sand in hopes of finding the ring. Talaya’s friend told her about ring finders and that’s how she found me. My heart sunk when she told me the ring was lost two days ago. Kaimana Beach is a favorite among local detectorists and I feared the ring would have been found already. I told her I’d take a look after my Dentist appointment. When I arrived around 1PM I was able to find parking and thankfully the area Talaya marked out for me on Google maps was more or less void of sunbathers. I told the lifeguard what I was doing and fired up the Nox. The first target was a loud #10 on the Nox and in one scoop their was the glistening diamond ring in the scoop. Talaya told me the ring was Platinum in her text but this ring said 14K but had the Jewel on the inside she mentioned. I texted her a pic of the ring with the word, “Blessed”, and the response was, “Thank you so much. I am crying.” Suddenly my dental pains went away. Aloha to Talaya!

    I am beyond grateful to Joe for taking the time to find my ring. I was so bummed when I discovered I lost it, then bummed again when Joe said it was a long shot since the sands are metal detected day and night. I even called the pawn shops to see if someone tried to get rent! The pawn shop guy was very nice but laughed at my request, he also said many times the finders wait a while to bring it to a pawn shop. Needless to say when I got the text photo of my ring from Joe, I was overcome and tears spilled! My husband was skeptical a “ring finder” could do a better job than he did. (LOL) but I sure am glad he added a unique gemstone and engraving inside my precious ring. This ring means so much to me. It was the ring he presented me 8 years ago when he decided he wanted to share this adventure together. Not a proposal for marriage. I wear it everyday. Sand. Sweat. No matter what. I’m never taking it off again! We are celebrating 5 years of marriage in a few weeks and I’m glad I have the set of rings that started this journey! Thanks Joe. I can never thank you enough. Mahalo
