Lost Diamond Engagement Ring at Ewa Beach…..FOUND
Saturday, January 24, 2015
As I was doing some “Honey do list” items my daughter Korin handed me the phone and said, “Someone lost their ring Dad.” I answered the phone and Jenna explained to me that she lost her ring in the sand at Ewa Beach. I was far enough along on my chores so I told Jenna I could be there in about 45 minutes as the location is on the opposite side of the island from where I live. She said she would wait on the beach by the spot where she thought she lost her ring. I told her, “Don’t try finding the ring it might make it harder for me to find it.” I arrived with my Excalibur and I was met by Alex, Jenna’s fiance. Jenna explained that she put her ring in her shorts pocket and when she put them back on after sunbathing she realized the ring was gone. They showed me the general area and I started a box search in an East-West direction. With nothing but pull tabs and 55 cents in clad I asked if there was anywhere else she went. Jenna pointed to a picnic table 75 yards away and said they sat over there awhile and walked straight over and back. I made three passes towards the picnic table but the area was so littered with metal trash I was getting overloaded with targets. I decided to go back to the original box and try a North-South grid search. It paid off on about the fifth line I got what could only be a Gold Ring tone. I made a gentle scoop and the target was captured. When I looked into the scoop I couldn’t see anything. I dumped the residual and scanned the pile getting the same tone. This time I took less of a scoop and their was the tiny Size 3 White Gold Solitaire Diamond ring at the bottom of the scoop. “I might have your ring Jenna.” Excited she quickly came over to where I stood and I said, “If you can describe the ring in my hand it’s yours.” Startled and just getting it the day before she said it was silver colored and a single diamond. Is this it? As I showed it to her tears started streaming down her face and she said, “I really didn’t think you were going to find it.” It only took 30 minutes but to her it must have seemed like an eternity. A bit more challenging for me but the Excalibur performed well in deep sand on such a tiny ring. Aloha Jenna & Alex.

Then after 20 minutes I looked into my scoop and saw the sweet site of gold! I love that feeling because I know good that young man and his wife would feel…These were two very nice people who were in love and I know how much they wanted their ring back where it belonged. These rings travel 12,000 km from Iran to Vancouver for that wedding day, only two months ago

I got call and an email and a text message in regards to a lost Rolex Watch at 3rd beach in Stanley Park last night. The young man as you could imagine was pretty upset and found my service on the internet a day after he lost his watch. He went back with a rake and searched the water but no luck.I called Patrick and told him that low tide was around 4 am and I’d like to meet him at 2am to start the search as the tide was going out.I met patrick in North Vancouver at 2am and we drove to 3rd beach to search for his Rolex. When we got to the beach Patrick showed me the area he thought the watch was at. It was a pretty big area and the fact it was black out it was hard for him to pinpoint the exact area.I started the grid search with the help of Patrick who stood on the shoreline with a flashlight so I could use that as my reference point…After 45 minutes in about waste deep water we were rewarded with a beautifully Rolex watch in my water scoop!
I let out a yell that got Patrick very excited and when I got to shore I put the watch in his hand… This watch was very special as he bought it after he graduated from carpentry school 3 years ago…Thank you very much Patrick for the generous reward! I will be donating 15 % of the reward money to Children’s Hospital as I do with all my recoveries.I love my job!Lost something?Call me ASAP!Watch the video of the recovery on the link below… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3R9mzGpf7mc
