Lost White Gold Diamonds & Sapphire Rings at Hilton Hawaiian Village…FOUND!!!
This ring find began when I got a text from Jennifer who is native to Oahu but currently resides in California. She asked how do your services work? I immediately called and she told me. While enjoying the cool waters at Hilton Hawaiian Village with her partner Jordan her White Gold Sapphire and Diamonds ring fell off in shallow water. In a panic she tried reaching into the sand and coral rubble to retrieve it and in the process her other White Gold & Diamonds ring also came off and disappeared. I told Jennifer I’d be off work at 1pm and we could meet anytime after that near the food truck in the parking lot which was just a few yards from the search area. Knowing this area is detected constantly I was thankful when a few targets especially pull tabs and two nickels showed up…the ring just might still be here. After about 40 minutes I completed the search area Jennifer showed me. While trying to decide what to do next Jennifer’s significant other Jordan asked if I had gotten to wear a little girl in a bright pink swim suit was snorkeling. I said just shy of that and I agreed to spread out the search area yet again. This time it paid off. On the 1st leg return I got the Sapphire & Diamonds ring. Then expanding from that point the Manticore picked out the all diamonds ring. Jennifer was so elated she told me she had to hold back her tears of relief and joy. Both rings were now back on her finger. Aloha to Jennifer & Jordan! Always expand that search area!!!
I was at a family picnic when I received a call from Anthony, stating that he had just lost his beautiful cross on the beach, somewhere in the area they were sitting. It was early afternoon and I told him I would be able to swing by soon, and to secure the area so nobody else came and setup their beach things in the exact same spot. Anthony assured me that was not a problem because they were there for the entire day, plus the fact he was very anxious to get his cross back where it belonged around his neck. We spoke about the events leading up to the mishap, that’s when he told me about the big creator he and his friends had dug that day in the sand where they were sitting. He said they had all been digging around looking for the cross for quite a while, but were positive it must be there somewhere, because he had spent the best part of the morning there, digging. It was then I asked them to please stop digging otherwise the cross may get buried to deep for my machine to pick it up. When I arrived I could see the creator from the dune walkover, and it was pretty big. Sure enough, it was close to 4′ deep, and roughly 6′ in circumference. I hopped in, scanned the entire bottom and the walls, without even a squeak of a sound from my metal detector. Next, I scanned the piles of sand they had pulled out of the hole with no luck either. I asked them to pull the piles down lower, to an average of no more than 10″ higher than the regular beach level. Once again, no luck anywhere, so only one more place to look was the bottom, after they pulled about 10″ of sand out. Now, with all the sand moving, I assured that the cross was positively NOT in, or anywhere around the crater. So, back to the drawing board, where he mentioned they were tossing a football on the tide line earlier, and that his friend did tackle him there. I told him I really wish he mentioned that earlier, as the tide had been rising very quickly. Once he showed me the area, the cross was in my scoop within 2 minutes. If Anthony told me that one detail of the day, my search would have started there, and all the sand moving could have been eliminated. Lost of detective work is needed to rescue items from their hiding places.
