Lost Platinum & Diamonds Wedding Ring at Hale Koa Beach…FOUND!!!


This ring find began when I got a text from Tom who was on Hale Koa Beach as an Air Force Family was trying to find a lost Platinum & Diamonds Wedding Ring in the dry sand. I assured Tom I could be there soon and he put me in contact with Wes who is the gentleman that lost the ring. Wes was on vacation from Walnut Creek, California and explained he was throwing a football and the ring slipped off his finger and disappeared somewhere in the dry sand. He told me they had been digging for awhile, where they thought it fell, but couldn’t locate the ring. I told Wes to have everyone stop digging and to relax on the beach I would be there in about 25 minutes. Thankfully, when I arrived there was several parking available. As I walked down the boardwalk I heard someone yell, ” Joe we are right here.” I looked towards the beach and the entire family was chilling on the beach, awaiting my arrival. Wes had already marked off the area with small fish nets so I started my search in the area I saw they were digging. First two targets were Lincoln Cents, then a small aluminum disc. I was now out of the area previously dug and the family was starting to wonder where the ring could be. Then a somewhat scratchy tone and after two full scoops there was Wes’s Platinum & Diamonds Ring in the scoop. Someone must have stepped on it. Wes immediately put the ring back on his finger and when I asked if he could remove it for a pic it was stuck. That’s actually good so we took the pic as it was. Vacation saved! Aloha to Wes and his wonderful family.
On February 8th I had just finished feeding my goats and came in the house and started washing dishes and realized my rings that I wear on my right hand were missing. They have been pretty lose with the cold weather but I didn’t actually believe they could slip off without me feeling it. So I began tearing the house apart with no luck. My husband came home from work on the 11th and with tears in my eyes I broke the news to him with great sorrow. I felt as though they were gone forever. My husband immediately started turning furniture upside down and checking every square inch of the house with no luck. My husband had an idea of calling a metal detector guy because he felt as though maybe the rings slipped off my finger while taking care of our goats. I was skeptical but figured why not. They started the search and just as they thought the rings were gone forever, the detector went off and my precious gems were found unharmed. I can’t explain the gratitude I feel but my tears of JOY show a lot. I’d like to thank Jeremy Roth with Ring Finders located in Washington, MO., for traveling over an hour south to help us out! Great service and an even better outcome!
