Lost Tiffany Platinum Wedding Band at Ala Moana Beach…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)

This ring find began when I got a text from Sam who was on her Honeymoon with her husband Gareth, both from Sydney, Australia.  She asked if I had ring finding services for Ala Moana Beach.  Gareth was in the water hunting with a mask and snorkel and if he couldn’t find the Platinum ring,  I told her I could but needed some details.  Since it was late evening we decided to meet at 6:30 the next morning.  When Sam & Gareth arrived they took me down to the area to develop my grid.  I like to start right and work left.  This morning the beach was at a low tide and the water was clear.  On the first leg no targets whatsoever.  On the next leg at my maximum depth I got a nice tone but it was a nickel.  I turned toward shore and got another target with the same numbers thinking it was another nickel so I was surprised when a huge brand new Tiffany Platinum Band was glistening in my scoop.  Gareth & Sam were sitting on the shore and I yelled to them I had found it.  I think they were in utter shock as I had only been hunting for 3-4 minutes.  Gareth was obviously relieved and he told me he had been up most of the night concerned about the loss.  Honeymoon saved!  Aloha to Gareth & Sam!

Lost Gold Wedding Band at Ala Moana Beach Park Lagoon…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)


This ring find began when I got a phone call from Alexcia stating her husband Jon just lost his White Gold Wedding Band in chest deep water at Ala Moana Beach Park. I was just finishing up an errand at the drugstore and told her I could be there after I stopped home to get my detecting gear. They had to take the baby home to Manoa and said Jon would return immediately and meet me at the Park. 15 minutes later we were walking out to the water for the hunt. Jon explained to me that he was wrestling with his wife and other family members when his ring slipped off in chest deep water. Jon entered the water with me and was my seaward marker of the grid search. The area was sterile and on about the 7th leg of the grid search I got a nice 13 on the Nox in belly deep water. The ring had a tall surface area and the first few scoops were unsuccessful. Finally on the 5th scoop there was Jon’s white gold wedding band in the scoop. Jon was so thankful and his wife would be extremely pleased also. No dog house for Jon. Aloha to Jon!
