This ring find began when I got a text Saturday morning from Hailee, visiting from California and attending a wedding on Oahu that said, « Aloha! I lost my ring and I’m looking for help. I dropped it in a lawn, up Hawaii Loa Ridge, I know the exact location. » Peter and Hailee agreed to meet at my house today so they could drive me up to the exclusive neighborhood for the ring hunt. When we arrived Hailee pointed out the area and I began a grid search. She told me they had about ten people looking the day it was lost, so there was the possibility it was stepped into the wet ground. I noticed a sprinkler head in the grid and was pleasantly surprised the piping and wires were not. First target was a dime just under the surface. Then another target I couldn’t identify. I was now expanding out the grid from where the ring was thought to be. Hailee’s daughter had accidentally pulled it off her mom’s finger while they were taking photos and they thought it had gone in front of them. I got a nice solid surface tone. I stooped down and ran the pinpointer over the thick grass and got an immediate beep. I moved the grass blades and there was Hailee’s beautiful ring looking up at me. I told Peter « Found it! » Being straight up and down it was nearly impossible to see and it was behind where Hailee had been. Hailee was obviously overjoyed as this was her favorite ring. Her and Peter were so grateful it was found! Another vacation with a happy ending. Aloha to Hailee & Peter!
