Lost White Gold Engagement & Wedding Rings at Aulani Resort…FOUND!!!
This Ring Find began when I got a call from the Aulani concierge desk. The hostess told me one of their guests lost her Engagement and Wedding Rings in the sand on the beach and if I was available for recovery. She handed me off to Danielle who was on vacation from San Diego and told me she put her rings in the waistband of her shorts to attend to her baby and after walking down to the water’s edge she realized they had fallen out. After an intense search the beach team told her we have a guy. I was just finishing up work for the day and I told Danielle that I’d go home, grab my gear and head out to the resort to search. I told her to stop searching and just relax until I got there. When I arrived Daniele’s Mom Debbie met me at the beach equipment rental stand and then walked me down to the search area. I decided to hunt the open area before we had to move any beach chairs. After covering that area with no ring found, Debbie had already started moving the chairs for me. On the first sweep and at the extreme end of the grid I got a loud #6 on the Nox and in one scoop there were Danielle’s beautiful rings. The tourists around us started clapping and Danielle came down and said, » That’s certainly my ring and you are the best! » Then we hugged and rejoiced at the successful recovery. Aloha to Danielle!
Steve called me asking if I could find a ring. Steve’s wife lost her new anniversary ring while doing some yard work at their home in Navarre. Their backyard has a lush landscape with a thick carpet of grass where a ring could easily fall in and be hard to locate. In addition there property bordered a forested area with fairly thick understory vegetation. They didn’t know where the ring was lost, so Steve and I recreated their activity as best he could remember. First I carefully searched the grass areas with no luck. Next was going into the shrub plantings, also no luck. Then I expanded the search area assuming the backyard was the most likely place to look since that’s where she was working, no luck strike 3. In desperation I decided to look in the forested area bordering their backyard. I started a north/south grid about 5’ wide. There were no targets in the understory, clean ground with no metal in it. So when I got a signal it screamed, the sound was unmistakable, the sound of gold! Somehow the ring had left her finger and traveled about 15’ into the woods. I never met Steve’s wife because she was working that day but Steve called her and she was overjoyed. Ring recovered, everyone smiling, no more worries, made my day!
