This ring find began when I got a call from Matt who was on vacation from Seattle and after returning from a swim went to flick a piece of beach slime from his hand his ring flew off and disappeared into the sand. I told him I just got back from Ko Olina but after grabbing a bite to eat I would return to find his ring in the dry sand near the beach chairs. When I arrived Matt waved me down as I entered the beach area. We walked over to the search area and Matt described what had happened. I assumed this would be a quick find and I would be on my way back home. I searched the area in front of the chairs where Matt thought the ring should be. No Ring! We moved the chairs out of the way and searched again. No Ring! I expanded the search grid to double the size in each direction. No Ring! I started discussing to Matt about other possibilities and he began to think it might have fallen off in the water or elsewhere. I decided to do a grid search at 90 degrees to the initial grid but this time I went way down towards the water. Actually about triple the grid size and BOOM! One scoop Big Gold Ring Found! Matt didn’t know his own strength. That ring went for a launch! Big relief for Matt and his lovely wife Katherine. Aloha to Matt and his family!
