This Gold Chain Find began Sunday, 17 May as I was recovering a lost Gold Wedding band at Aulani Resort. After a successful ring recovery, a gentleman approached me and said his friend Jeremy from Poway, California had lost his Sentimental Gold Rope Chain the day before nearby the paddle board buoys. He went to go get Jeremy so we could focus the search area down. Jeremy explained he had been rough housing with children of the family in the water and he imagined the chain had to of fallen off in waist to chest deep water in the area near the buoys. I did a search but the chain eluded me. I told Jeremy I would return at a later time and bring scuba in case it was in deeper water. After a bit of a communication mix up, I returned on Thursday 21 May and found a hefty gold chain on the shoreline in ankle deep water. To verify the chain I asked Jeremy if he could identify the two unique words on the clasp but he said his was plain and didn’t have a name. We assumed it wasn’t his and it didn’t quite match the grainy photo Jeremy had sent on Sunday. Another search yielded no other chains. The more I looked at the photo the more I was convinced this could be Jeremy’s chain. I gave Jeremy a call back in Poway, California. He still couldn’t identify the names, so I asked if he had a better picture of the chain. He said he did and sent one to me. There was no doubt. Fortunately for us, Jeremy’s niece was still on island just down the street from my home. We made the transfer and she returned it to Jeremy today. Grandfather’s chain reunited and look at that smile of thankfulness. Aloha to Jeremy!
