This ring hunt began when I was called by Megan who lives on Oahu with her husband CJ. She had purchased a detector from Walmart and went to Ulua Lagoon to try and find CJ’s Yellow Gold with Black & White Diamonds Wedding band in shallow water. He lost it the day before playing with his young daughter in the water. The metal detector she purchased at Walmart would start chirping in the wet sand and was impossible to use in the water. Phil from Aloha Security Team saw her struggling and went down to the beach to let her know one she wasn’t allowed to detect the beach and second that they had a guy who would find it for her. Relieved someone was available she called me and I just happened to be finishing a scuba hunt at Four Seasons but unfortunately I only had my scuba detector. However, I was going to squat and do whatever I could as she thought it was only ankle to knee deep. The hunt was unsuccessful. I told her I would return the next morning to hunt. When I arrived and the sun came up the area I needed to hunt was plastered with Box Jellies alive and dead. I stopped counting at around 80! I texted Megan we would have to wait two days. Once I got home I started thinking about the unauthorized detectorist we found at Lagoon 4 and I decided I’ll put on my 3 mil wetsuit and booties and go dodge the jellies. This morning I only saw a dozen or so but I was fully protected. I started the hunt and on about the 6th leg I got a nice tone on the Nox 800 in knee deep water. After one scoop there was CJ’s stunning ring in the scoop. We met at the Hickam AFB Post Office for the return. CJ was extremely thankful and I found out we served on the same ship USS George Washington CVN-73, although many years apart. Much Aloha to CJ & Megan!

A true savor thank you so much when I lost my ring we were just about to pack up and head home my daughter and i had one last play session and the ring slipped off and I instantly knew it slipped off so I stayed in the spot and told my wife to get the mask so I can try and attempt to find it we stayed for another hour plus and my daughters where already restless so we decided to leave and purchase a metal detector and try again in the morning before anyone got there we didn’t no it was not allowed so we got referred to mr joe so we called him and in less then ten minutes he was there and when he couldn’t find it that day he told my wife he will be back with the correct gear and he stayed in contact with us until he found it. This morning we got a picture of the ring and he said he had it and he even drove to us to drop it off a true act of kindness and he did not ask us for anything in return. Thank you so much mr joe you really made our weekend end on a great note and lifted so much guilt on my part.
