metal detector hawaii Tag | The Ring Finders

This ring find began when I got a call from Josh who is on his Honeymoon from Portsmouth, England and staying at the Aulani Resort with his lovely wife Jaz.  On Sunday, while seated in the cool shallow waters of the lagoon, Josh felt his Yellow Gold Wedding Band slip off and disappear into the sand.  They hunted for the ring but with the surf up in the lagoon it was impossible to see.  While talking to the resort personnel they were told about my recovery service.  I told Josh I would head over as soon as I finished work.  When I arrived Josh & Jaz met me on the beach and showed me the area to hunt.  I found a few coins, a pull tab and an earring.  About a third of the way through the grid I got a nice tone near shore and after two scoops there was Josh’s shiny new Gold Wedding Ring in the scoop.  I let Josh & Jaz reach into the scoop to ensure the ring I found was his and of course it was.  Honeymoon saved and much deserved relief after four days.  Aloha to Josh & Jaz!

 

This ring find began when I got a text from Amy who was on vacation from Murrieta, California and staying at the Marriott in Ko Olina.  She said her husband Ryan was swimming in the lagoon and while making an adjustment on a floatie his Platinum Wedding Band fell off and disappeared in the sandy bottom of the lagoon water the day before.  The water was only about waist deep but impossible to see.  Ryan assumed it was lost forever!  I called and told Amy I could be there that afternoon around 1:30.  She said they would be on the beach.  When I arrived Amy showed me the area to search and I fired up the Manticore for my grid search.  I started a little to the North and worked South.  When I was nearing the center of the grid going up onto the wet sand I got a nice loud tone and after one scoop there was Ryan’s Band in the scoop.  The rough waves actually threw the ring up onto the shoreline.  I motioned towards Amy and she was in disbelief I think that the ring was found so quickly.  Also, Ryan was just making his way down to the beach and Amy was able to put the ring back on his finger.  What a wonderful family and I was thankful to be able to save the vacation.  Aloha to Ryan, Amy & Family!

This ring find began when I returned from a hunt at Aulani Lagoon.  Shannon on vacation from Mt. Airy, Maryland left a voicemail saying his wife Kelly lost two White Gold & Diamonds Wedding Rings in the dry sand of Ulua lagoon.  While applying suntan lotion Kelly had taken off her rings and placed them on a beach chair.  Then as she went to adjust her chair the rings flew off into the sand and disappeared.  They had looked carefully but they were out of sight.  I told Shannon I would be over from the other lagoon in a moment and he told me there location on the beach.  As I headed down to the beach Shannon noticed me with my gear and waved me over.  We moved a beach chair out of the way and I started a grid search.  On the second leg I got a nice #10 on the Manticore and in one gentle scoop there were Kelly’s beautiful rings lying together in the scoop.  I let her reach in and retrieve them.  Shannon stated that wasn’t where they were looking and realized Kelly really adjusted that beach chair with some force.  All good, vacation saved.  Aloha to Kelly & Shannon!

This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Liz saying that Aloha Security told her I might be able to locate her Mom’s Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring in shallow water at Paradise Cove Beach.  I told her I had a hunt in Waikiki I had to finish up and then I would head right over to Paradise Cove.  When I got to Paradise Cove Liz’s mom Debbie, from NYC, was waiting at the lagoon to show me the area to hunt.  She told me she was throwing a football with her grandchildren and when she reached to catch the football her engagement ring flew off into shallow water.  I walked out to the furtherest distance Debbie was and started a grid search back towards shore.  On about the third leg I got a nice 27-32 hit on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was Debbie’s amazing ring in the scoop.  She was so thankful and I think she was about to cry.  Many people had looked for her but it was buried.  Another vacation saved!  Aloha to Debbie and Family!
