Lost Gold & Diamonds Wedding Band in a Field near Kai Beach Ford Island...FOUND!!!

This ring find began Wednesday, when I got a text from Marion, who was helping her friend Betty who lost an identical Wedding Band that had slipped out of her PT shorts pocket while doing her Physical Readiness Test.  During their hunt, Marion used her band as a prop to get the proper visual and when she got distracted for a moment, her ring was lost in what she called, “The crunch field of despair.” They both hunted the field for two days with no luck.  Schedules were chaotic, however, we agreed to meet up at lunch today.  When I arrived, Marion was already there searching the field.  We laid out a search area and I went to work gridding.  Thankfully, over the last two days, Marion and Betty cleaned up much of the shiny metal that had littered the field.  The grass was dry and short so just looking down most targets could be seen.  Finally,  after about 15 minutes I got a nice solid and tight #28 on the Manticore.  I bent down and as I moved a tuft of grass Marion’s shiny wedding band came into view.  I yelled over to her and she rushed over to see it for herself.  We noticed it was actually nearly dead center in the box.  We searched for Betty’s ring in the field but it wasn’t found.  There is still much more area to cover especially a jogging path as Betty doesn’t know when the ring actually fell out of her pocket.  One down, one to go.  Praying!  Aloha to Marion and hopefully soon to Betty.
