lost ring Hilton Village Tag | The Ring Finders

This ring find began when I got a call from Beatrice who was on vacation from Portland Oregon and staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.  The previous day will walking in shallow water with her Granddaughter Sophia her Platinum Engagement & Wedding Bands fell off and disappeared in the shallow water of the Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon.  She snorkeled and failed to find either ring.  Her son Jason bought a Garrett Ace 250 Detector but it made so much noise he only found a few cents in all the chatter.  They initially called fellow ring-finder Don Bryant who referred them to me as I live only moments away.  I told Beatrice I’d grab my gear and meet her at the Lagoon to start the search.  My initial instructions from Beatrice were misinterpreted and I started hunting two feet from the rock island you see behind her in the pic.  What she meant was “in” two feet of water in front of the rock island.  Once I had that key data point I immediately found the Platinum Wedding Band but it kept getting pushed away from my scoop.  It must have taken at least eight tries.  Beatrice didn’t seem as if that ring was hers so I continued searching.  After a short time in the same general area of the Platinum Band I got another tone and after about three scoops there was Beatrice’s beautiful Engagement Ring with a Solitaire Diamond with two Blue Sapphires on each side.  Then after looking again she realized the band was hers and it fit perfectly.  Excellent 2 for 2.  Vacation saved!  Much Aloha to Beatrice and her Family!
