On Monday January 8th I get a call from a worried yet hopeful Wife named Kate and she explains to me that her husband Ted was in the ocean at Ala Moana beach swimming around in 6 feet deep water when He lost his Damascus steel with 14K wedding ring. I advised Her to rest assure I will be on my way and to let Ted know that it will take me around 30 minutes. While I was packing up my gear and on the phone I started to gather as much information from Kate as i could so I would be able to narrow the beach search area. Once I got the info I needed I let Kate know…Help is on the way.
Arrived to Ala Moana beach and met up with the couple. Ted marked out the place where he believes he lost it and I started the search. After a few minutes of searching the LOST ring FOUND its way back home! I asked ted ” is the ring stainless steel and White Gold?…Does it look like this?” And the moment they seen the ring I saw relief all over their faces. Ted and Kate was very thankful and the comfort of hearing OH MY GOD…YOU FOUND IT! let me know that this is MORE THAN A RING to them…ITS A COMMITMENT OF EVERLASTING LOVE and for me to be apart of reuniting their ring WAS MY PLEASURE. Another happy family and it’s always good to hear GOOD NEWS!!! “Inside Scoops-Kate&Ted”. Well Congratulations and have a wonderful time enjoying the Ohana… Time flys so enjoy every moment!!! HAWAII RING FIND
Lanki was so so sweet and honest. We just got married in July 2017 and this ring was engraved with our wedding date and the word “forever”. We were swimming around and enjoying our honeymoon when I saw absolutely terrified face of my husband Ted. His ring fell off. Even though he could barely touch the bottom, the water was just not clean enough to geg it. He got gaggles in hope to find the ring, but it was absolutely useless, as he could dive only for short period of time and see very little of the bottom. Couple minutes after the attempts to retrieve the ring, we lost hope and returned to the beach. We were devastated. I started looking into buying a new ring. Ted kept stating he does not want one as it will not be the same (his ring was custommade with unique pattern that is not possible to replicate). I tried to look for solution, when I finally came across ring finders. We had nothing to lose. I contacted a couple people before talking to Lanaki, and as soon as I did I got a gut feeling that he is the one that I should ask for help. He came to Ala Moana extremely fast, he was patient with me and extremely sweet. Needless to say, we got ring back within minutes! We were over the moon. This whole story is so surreal yet fascinating. Thank you so much
