Lost Yellow Gold and Diamonds Wedding & Engagement Rings at Paradise Cove Lagoon…FOUND!!!

This ring find began Sunday November 16th when I received a text that said, “Hi! Do you find lost rings near the Ko Olina Resort?”  I of course said yes and was then connected to Ericka who was on vacation from Beaumont, California and had lost her Yellow Gold and Diamonds Wedding & Engagement Rings at Ko Olina Resort.  Ericka had been in Lagoon 3 and Paradise Cove but didn’t realize until the end of the day that her two rings had gone missing.  She initially thought the most likely place would have been shallow water of Lagoon 3.  After a thorough search, I came up empty handed.  Using a little detective work Ericka was able to see that in some of the videos they took the ring was on her finger at Secret Beach but not at Paradise Cove Beach.  They had transited to Paradise Cove Beach via the water path between the two beaches.  So on Wednesday November 19th I went to Paradise Cove Beach to start the hunt.  Everything was going great.  I even found another small gold band then a huge Hawaiian Monk Seal decided to park on the beach.  Hawaii statute requires everyone to give them their distance and not bother their refuge.  She wasn’t going to move anytime soon so I aborted the hunt and decided to hunt the next day.  When I arrived,  there were three Monk Seals on the beach, but thankfully, they were far enough away for me to finish the remainder of the search area.  About 10 minutes into the search I got a really nice tone on the Manticore.  After two scoops I found the Yellow Gold Wedding band.  I heard another nice target and after another scoop the Yellow Gold and Diamonds Engagement  ring was in the scoop.  I looked skyward and said, “Thank You Jesus!”  I went back to my car and texted Ericka the great news.  She was obviously ecstatic.  Ericka received her rings today in the mail.  Its going to be a Happy Thanksgiving!  Aloha to Ericka!

Lost Wedding Ring Set .. Paradise Cove, Malibu, CA. .. Recovered

  • from Newport Beach (California, United States)

Fernanda had been at Paradise Cove Sunday with a bunch of friends and their kids. They had reserved a couple lounge chairs with umbrellas for the day. It was a beautiful day with friends to have a beach party. That evening at home Fernanda realized that her wedding ring set was not on her finger. Missing was a Platinum Diamond solitaire engagement ring and a White Gold with 10 small diamonds and she had not remembered taking them off or doing anything to cause them slip off her finger.

She searched the house and the car without succcess. Monday Fernanda and her husband, Julio drove back to the beach to search through the sand for the rings. Tuesday they located a guy with a detector to search the same area, but he was only able to search a short time late in the evening before he had to leave without finding the rings. He suggested that they call me.

When I got the call it sounded like a long shot, because she had been many places Sunday before she realized her rings were gone. On top of that, someone had tried searching the beach area with a metal detector. It was a 75 mile drive but I felt it would be worth the drive to see if the beach area had more possibilities for searching again with my metal detectors.

Fernanda and Julio met me at noon Wednesday. I had a feeling that she had hope that I could find the rings. On the other hand Julio seemed skeptical that the rings were here at the beach. After a quick run down on where Fernanda had been the day of the loss, I started to grid in front of the lounge chairs. My plan was to move the chairs forward after clearing the area. Then swung my XP Deus metal detector between and under the second set of chairs. Boom! The first ring, then a second swing Boom! The second ring in the scoop.

Both Fernanda and Julio had walked down to the water’s edge to give me a little space while I searched. I caught Fernanda’s eyes first and she ran up to me to see the prize in my scoop. Then came Julio who told me I made a believer out him because all the time he thought he was wasting his time. It as an exciting moment for all. It’s not hard to understand that it seemed impossible that we would find the rings when she had not remembered taking them off or doing anything to cause them slip from her finger. It paid off to try one more time.
