This recovery all started when I got a call from the ‘Ohana letting me know that a chain and pendant had been lost in the water at Poka‘i Bay. I was down the road when I got the call, so I quickly gathered all my gear and headed out to help.
When I arrived, I talked with Triton who is the brother of Mercedess and learned where they believe it was in the ocean and that one of our local lifeguards Mike Eckart had jumped in the water to help. I powered up my equipment, hit the water, and began working a few grids. After talking with the mike and covering the area, I finally got a solid tone — and there it was, right inside my scoop: a beautiful gold chain and pendant.
With a loud “CHEE-HOO!” I held up the scoop, and the kids who were showering and getting ready for a party started yelling, “Did you find it?!” I proudly held up the gold chain and said, “I found it. What was lost is now found.”
Mercedess walked down to the edge of the water and gratefully got the chain out of scoop. The beach was full of joy, and it was such an awesome moment to be a part of.
Mahalo for allowing me Mike to be a part of returning something so precious. What was lost is now found. Much love.
