This ring find began when I got a text from Sam who was on her Honeymoon with her husband Gareth, both from Sydney, Australia. She asked if I had ring finding services for Ala Moana Beach. Gareth was in the water hunting with a mask and snorkel and if he couldn’t find the Platinum ring, I told her I could but needed some details. Since it was late evening we decided to meet at 6:30 the next morning. When Sam & Gareth arrived they took me down to the area to develop my grid. I like to start right and work left. This morning the beach was at a low tide and the water was clear. On the first leg no targets whatsoever. On the next leg at my maximum depth I got a nice tone but it was a nickel. I turned toward shore and got another target with the same numbers thinking it was another nickel so I was surprised when a huge brand new Tiffany Platinum Band was glistening in my scoop. Gareth & Sam were sitting on the shore and I yelled to them I had found it. I think they were in utter shock as I had only been hunting for 3-4 minutes. Gareth was obviously relieved and he told me he had been up most of the night concerned about the loss. Honeymoon saved! Aloha to Gareth & Sam!
