This ring find began when I got a text from Kawakita who with his wife was visiting Oahu from Japan. They were leaving the next morning at 11am and my backup ring finders were out of commission. I told him I would come over after my Royal Hawaiian hunt since they were the next beach over. Ends up I only had 90 minutes left on my parking to go over and hunt. I told Kawakita to meet me on the beach as I had minimal time. He quickly showed me the search area and I started immediately. We had some tourists in the way but they politely moved. As I started my fourth leg coming down into the wet sand I got a strong #9 on the Manticore and two scoops later there was the Cartier. I think Kawakita was as shocked as I was because we both thought it would be in the turbulent water. His wife whom I never got her name was just arriving on the beach and when he handed her, her ring she was overcome with joy. A few hugs and gracious thank yous sure made that a great hunt. Aloha to Kawakita and his lovely wife!
