This ring find began yesterday when I got a text from Ryan who was from Chicago and on Spring Break staying at the Aulani Resort. While playing catch in shallow water of the lagoon Ryan’s Yellow Gold & Diamonds Wedding Ring came off and disappeared in the sand. He sent a pic and circled the area in question. I immediately called and found out Ryan would be leaving the next day around noon. We agreed to meet early the next morning and it would be a low tide as a bonus. I arrived the next morning and texted Ryan. He met me on the beach and gave me the coordinates for a grid search. I didn’t find the ring in that box. I went ashore and discussed the event that caused the ring to be lost and it was when he was catching the ball. Many times in that situation the ball flings the ring further then you imagine. I told Ryan I would extend the grid search deeper and he could just relax on the beach and I would call him when I complete the hunt. Low and behold on the third leg I got a screaming target on the Manticore. On the second dig Ryan’s ring was in the scoop. I started walking ashore and noticed Ryan sitting in a beach chair. I held up the ring and yelled, “Got It!” I hand dropped it to Ryan and I could sense a sigh of relief. He shouted over to his lovely wife Jamie, “He found it!” Jamie came over to see for sure. I believe she said, “I can’t believe it!” but was obviously very happy. We took a few pics and Ryan was able to return home with his ring on his finger. Aloha to Ryan & Jamie!
