1997 Denver Broncos Super Bowl XXXII Championship Ring Lost at Kahala Hotel Beach…FOUND!!!


This ring find began when I got a call from Annabel, from Colorado, who was enjoying a day at the Kahala Hotel Beach when her sister Christianna lost her 1997 Denver Broncos Super Bowl Ring in chest deep water about an hour prior. I told Annabel that I lived 10 minutes away and would pack up my gear and head over. Unbeknownst to me the King Tide was at it’s peak high and it was going to cause havoc. Christianna stood in the water where she lost the ring to be my marker but it was now neck deep and throwing both of us around. I did what I could but only one target emerged and it kept running away from me. I searched all the way into shore with no luck. Annabel, Christianna and I discussed a crack of dawn return the next morning, when my phone app showed an extreme low tide, where I could hunt much more thoroughly. Annabel had a matching ring, so I had her swing it under my coil for a VDI of 47-49. When I arrived the next morning the sun was just breaking the horizon and the beach was at the lowest tide I have ever seen there. Pipes that are usually submerged in three feet of water were exposed. I drew my grid lines from what Christianna showed me the day before and I entered the water. Amazingly, it was crystal clear all the way out. I got to the end of my grid line, placed my marker pole and turned around and headed to shore. Suddenly, in knee deep water I got a scream and a 47 on the VDI. I looked down and could see the magnificent ring laying in the sand and sunlight. I bent over picked up the ring and said, « Thank you Jesus! » I then proceeded to my car to text Annabel, as her number was the only one I had. After seeing the picture, she texted, « WOW INCREDIBLE!!!! » You are good!!! She added that Christianna would be able to meet me today for the return. Turns out she was with a relative in Kahala, four minutes from my home. After a warm hug and a wonderful smile, Christianna can now return home with her sentimental ring. She also told me that today marks 7 years since her dad, Pat Bowlen passed away. I know he’s looking down with a warm smile too. Aloha to Christianna and the Bowlen family!


couldnt find it. 2 days went by till her friend told her of our service, thats when she called. I met her at the beach and detected the area where she thought she was sitting but didn’t find her bracelet. We figured it might of been found already and called off the search. I could see her tearing up thinking she lost it forever and felt really bad for her. I thought about it the next day at work and knew how much it ment to her and felt the need to go back after work and try again, this time expanding the area thinking she wasn’t sure where she was. Starting 20 out from where I ended the day before I started working toward where I ended the last search. 4 passes in I was looking down while detecting and happened to see part of the bracelet sticking out of the sand and couldnt believe I found it. I called her and gave her the good news and she was so grateful I didn’t give up and went back to look again. This one was really a happy ending for the both of us.
