This ring find began when I got a late night text from Kanga which said, « Aloha! I lost my engagement ring today around 4-5 pm at Iroquois Point Beach. I think it’s buried in the sand. Based on your experience, do you think there’s a good chance it’s still in the sand? I texted back, « Dry sand or in the water? I’ll see what I can do early morning. » It was dry sand. She only went in the water briefly and she thought she would have taken it off before going in. Kanga sent a few pics of the area. I told her we could meet at 6am at the beach parking lot. When Shiraz and Kanga arrived they gave me a few more details and marked the area to search. Shiraz said had the ring been on the blanket he would have only dumped it off as he didn’t snap the blanket which could have thrown the ring a good distance and who knows which direction. I fired up the Manticore and started the grid search. On the first leg, only a chunk of foil, which sounded terrific. Then on the return leg I got a nice tone and looked down. There proudly exposed was the gorgeous diamond sparkling in the morning sun. I reached down picked it up and it was a Marquise cut beauty. Got it! Kanga & Shiraz came running over to see. Kanga was obviously choked up a bit, as she spent so much time hunting the beach and home because she wasn’t positive when it had come off. This beautiful couple is getting married on the 4th of July. So happy the ring will be there! Aloha to Kanga & Shiraz!
