Metal detector for hire Oahu Tag | Page 2 of 40 | The Ring Finders

This Ring Find began when I got a call from 4 Seasons Front Desk, asking if I could find a guests “Expensive Ring” in the Lagoon.  I said “Of Course” and feel free to give them my number.  The resort gave me Joe’s number who was from Napa Valley, California and on vacation,  staying at the 4 Seasons resort.  I called Joe and he informed me his son had lost his Yellow Gold Cartier Love Ring in shallow water of the lagoon.  I asked if he could meet me at the next day’s morning low tide and he agreed.  When I arrived Joe was already on the beach waiting.  He marked off the grid lines and I began my search.  I found two silver earrings and a nice silver anchor pendant.  Then about 15 minutes into the hunt I got a nice low tone on the Manticore and in one scoop there was his son’s Cartier ring in the scoop.  By a stroke of luck Joe had just started filming me when the recovery occurred.  Son’s vacation saved!  Aloha to Joe for assisting!

This ring find began as I was on my way home from Ko Olina and got a call from Brendon’s father, telling me his son had lost his Wedding Ring in shallow water at Aulani Beach.  They were on vacation from Connecticut and staying at the Aulani Resort.  I told him I would turn around and come back to recover the ring as I was only 15 minutes out.  When I arrived, I called and Brendon & his Mom & Dad said they would meet me on the beach, to show me the area to hunt.  It was a high tide and the lagoons are a bit rough this weekend.  I entered the water and started my grid search with the Manticore.  On about the fifth leg I got a nice loud tone and in one scoop there was a ring in the scoop.  I was thinking it would be silver so I yelled ashore, “Is it black?”  The response was a thrilling, “YES!”  Brendon was just recently married so the lost wedding ring conversation became unnecessary and the vacation was saved.  Aloha to Brendon and his family!

 

This ring find began Wednesday, when I got a text from Marion, who was helping her friend Betty who lost an identical Wedding Band that had slipped out of her PT shorts pocket while doing her Physical Readiness Test.  During their hunt, Marion used her band as a prop to get the proper visual and when she got distracted for a moment, her ring was lost in what she called, “The crunch field of despair.” They both hunted the field for two days with no luck.  Schedules were chaotic, however, we agreed to meet up at lunch today.  When I arrived, Marion was already there searching the field.  We laid out a search area and I went to work gridding.  Thankfully, over the last two days, Marion and Betty cleaned up much of the shiny metal that had littered the field.  The grass was dry and short so just looking down most targets could be seen.  Finally,  after about 15 minutes I got a nice solid and tight #28 on the Manticore.  I bent down and as I moved a tuft of grass Marion’s shiny wedding band came into view.  I yelled over to her and she rushed over to see it for herself.  We noticed it was actually nearly dead center in the box.  We searched for Betty’s ring in the field but it wasn’t found.  There is still much more area to cover especially a jogging path as Betty doesn’t know when the ring actually fell out of her pocket.  One down, one to go.  Praying!  Aloha to Marion and hopefully soon to Betty.

This ring find began when I got a text from Army Specialist Jay who while doing his physical training run, went to give his oncoming fellow soldier a high five and his Tungsten Wedding  ring flew off into the grass along the path and disappeared.  I agreed to head home at lunch grab my gear and come to the base to search.  We agreed 1:30 would work.  We met in the parking lot nearest the Main Gate and got into my vehicle to go to the ring loss area nearby.  Jay walked with me along the path and checked each of the targets in the grass to save time.  We did the side away from the road first thinking that would be the direction of launch after the High-Five!  No ring found.  Then we did the side toward the road.  About 5 minutes into that side I got a nice tone and perfect dot on the Manticore.  We both looked down and could see the ring lying in the short grass.  Jay was obviously relieved and even thought about buying a metal detector himself.  Welcome to the adventure!  Aloha to Jay!

 

This ring find began as I was just finishing up taking a shower after a successful hunt at Nai’a Lagoon when a young lady asked if I could find a wedding ring?  I asked,  Did you lose one?  and she pointed and said, “No, my friend Carlos did in the lagoon.”  I asked Carlos if if could describe the ring?  Yes, he did exactly and I handed him his Titanium & Gold wedding band.  Everyone was in shock and started asking questions like where & when & how.  After a few handshakes and hugs we went back to my car to get a pic for Aloha Security.  Vacation saved!  Aloha to Carlos & friends!
