The Ring Finders Blog | Page 48 of 1106

This ring find began when I got a call from Four Seasons Beach Team informing me that one of their guests who was on vacation from Oakland, California and lost his 24K Gold Wedding band in the lagoon and wanted to know if I could recover it.  I said « Of course » and to give that guest my number and I could coordinate the recovery.  He called and told me he was swimming on his back in about 4 feet of water and his Wedding Ring slipped off and disappeared into the murky water.  High surf has been pounding our west coast and stirring up the Ko Olina lagoons.  I told him I would arrive the next morning at the low tide which would be around 10am.  I arrived a bit early and discovered another detectorist on the beach.  The beach team told him he couldn’t be there, at the same time I was arriving.  His name was Paul, nice guy,  just read the rules online wrong.  I did direct him to Paradise Cove beach which is open to all detectors.  I counted out the umbrellas the ring should be straight out from and entered the water a little right of that to create a grid search.  I went out to neck deep water turned left.  I took two steps and Boom screaming high tone.  Four scoops later in the murky water and finally the heavy 24K gold ring was in the scoop.  I went back to my car to text a pic and he confirmed.  I went back to the Four Seasons Beach entry for the return.  Another one for the book of smiles.  Aloha!
