This ring find began when I woke up to a text from Brett that said, “Hey Joe, My wife lost both of our wedding rings yesterday at White Plains Beach. She was looking after my ring whilst I was surfing. We know the location she was digging in. Are you able to help? Sorry for the early morning message. Included in the text were photos of the rings and where Chloe was digging in the sand with their baby daughter. Since I was going to Ko Olina for a scuba dive, I figured I could divert to White Plains for the search. I called Brett and he agreed to meet me there at first light. Unfortunately, when I arrived it was high tide and pounding the area Chloe was in the sand. I told Brett to stand on the spot in the pic that Chloe was at and I would detect around him. As I hunted around the surf was blasting the two of us and it was all we could do to stay on the spot. My coil was getting twisted on the shaft. After a few minutes no targets were found and I was thinking the worst possible thing that the tide had consumed the rings. I asked Brett to step to the right a bit and search the only place I hadn’t done yet. Boom! Two targets and Brett had been standing on them the whole time. I scoop several times and brought up Chloe’s Engagement Ring first. I gave it to Brett and he secured it away. It took a bit but I finally found the second target. A set was coming in and it was all I could do to stay on target. Finally, after several scoops Brett’s Gold band was in the scoop. Brett said something about Being a Legend. Maybe not that, but I will always give it my best shot. What made the recovery extra special was Brett’s band was his Grandfather’s. The day it was lost would have been his 99th birthday in Australia. The day we found it was his 99th birthday in the USA! What a special moment for him. Much Aloha to Chloe & Brett!
Legend!
