LOST DIAMOND RING FOUND WAIKIKI

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

On 5/7/18 I was out on the North Shore at 5:00 AM preparing to look for a lost men’s wedding ring and it was still dark. As I’m getting ready I look online and saw a lost wedding ring posted on Craigslist on the opposite side of the island and decide to respond to the ad to offer my help. As the sun started to rise while I was on the North Shore I notice that the waves coming up and looked too risky to put my metal detector in the water next to all the reef and to look for the ring in the high surf conditions. I decide to text Faith and see if we would be able to meet up to search for the ring she posted about on Craigslist. She and I decided to meet at the beach.  She told me that she had someone come out and look for it thoroughly for an hour and a half the day prior so if I was willing she would appreciate it. I decide to go over the searched area even though it was search previously  as “It’s always good to search for yourselves”  and sure enough after a few TRASHY items I noticed on my CTX3030 a solid reading of gold/Platinum! As I look in my scoop there it is and I think to myself thats a beauty. What do I tell Faith? How do I tell her as she is simmering around the beach and telling Uncle China (Known Surfer) about her lost ring. I shout to Faith ” Do you wanna SMILE NOW or LATER?” Faith responds, “huh?”  I say it again, “Do you wanna SMILE NOW or LATER?” Faith stops in her tracks and shouts “NO WAY KAI” with tears running down her face I hold up her beautiful ring. The onlookers and the guys that were with Uncle China gave a loud shout and exciting praise!!!  The ring which is so precious was back in the rightful hands and now able to pass down to the next generation. Precious items should be kept safe and I know this family heirloom will be kept safe and passed down for more years to come. Thank you and always have FAITH!

    A beautiful morning at the beach turned to panic when I noticed our family’s treasured heirloom- my grandmother’s almost hundred year old diamond and platinum ring was no longer on my finger. I looked online and called the first ring finder that popped up. After very noble hour and half looking, it seemed that luck was not on our side. I went home broken hearted, posted to lost and found craigslist and decided to relax, and figure out a game plan to fully exhaust the search the following morning. I woke up early and checked my phone right away with the tiniest hope that maybe someone had responded to my listing. Instead, there was a text from Kai. He had reached out to offer his help, if we were gonna do another search- I had a feeling this guy was gonna give it his best for one more look. An hour later we meet up at the beach. Long story short…HE FOUND THE RING IN 15 MINS!!! Aside from being a total pro at searching- he is 100% trustworthy, understanding and compassionate. A true example of aloha. My advice if you have a lost item…stay positive, don’t give up looking and get in touch with Kai ASAP.

    Much Mahalo to you, Kai. You are truly blessed in the works you do.
