This Ring Find began when I got a text from Kyle who was on vacation from Vallejo, California and staying at the Aulani Resort. While tossing a football he noticed his ring missing and assumed it had fallen off in neck deep high tide water. Since it was high tide and getting late I told Kyle I would be there first light at the low tide to see if I could find his ring. Kyle sent some excellent photos to help with the line up but no ring was found. Then a gentlemen approached me for a Gold Chain recovery a bit farther down the beach, but I didn’t find that either. Probably scuba depth! As I was heading back to my car, thinking I had failed twice, Kyle came out to the beach. He assured me that I had certainly covered the right area, but I decided to do a few more grid lines. As I was returning to shore after that attempt I got a loud number 35 on the Manticore in calf deep water and there in my scoop was Kyle’s Wedding Ring. It shocked the both of us. I can only guess the ring was either hit by the football and got flung towards shore or that’s where it actually fell off and wasn’t noticed until much deeper water. In any case Kyle was blessed with a return. Aloha to Kyle!
