Found: Waikiki Beach – Wedding Ring
It started as a normal day. I headed to the beach for some metal detecting and relaxation. That day I chose Waikiki Beach and left before dawn. I hadn’t been on the sand more than 10 minutes when Adam, a surfing instructor, came up to me and asked “do you know how to use a metal detector?”. I was taken aback a bit but answered that “I’ve been doing this for a number of years. He then began to explain he had lost his ring in the late afternoon the day before. He knew the aprox. location in the dry sand he had lost his ring and after some experimentation with a borrowed metal detector he gave up realizing he had no idea how to use it. That explained his first question to me about if I knew how to use my metal detector. I headed to the area he indicated. The area was small but full of a lot of trash and iron. It took a good 20 minutes to sort out all the targets but knowing that the ring was tungsten carbide I knew it would be a lower sounding contact. Finally I locked on to the sound I wanted, which was outside the area indicated as where it was lost. Only plausible explanation was as it was a high traffic area the ring had been kicked outside the area we were originally searching. Adam was overjoyed to get his wedding band back where it belongs.
