Lost Sentimental Gold & Silver Bracelets at Ulua Lagoon Ko Olina…FOUND!!!
This Bracelet hunt began when I got a text from Fahema who lives on Oahu. She asked, « Aloha, may you please help me find my bracelets that i lost in Ko’ Olina? It would be greatly appreciated. » Fahema wasn’t positive, but imagined the only place could be in Ulua Lagoon as she took a dip to cool off after playing volleyball with friends. She had placed them in her pocket before swimming and a short time after coming ashore she noticed they both were gone. I warned her that a snorkeler could probably see them in the clear water but hopefully the over night high tide would cover them in silt. The area she swam in was about 50 by 25 yards in the water so I fired up the Manticore and started a grid search. I just hunted this beach the past weekend so it was fairly sterile. About 20 minutes into the search I got a screaming high tone in thigh deep water and in one scoop there was the Silver Bracelet in the scoop. I marked the spot with my scoop and yelled to Fahema to come get that one while I continued the search. I continued out to the deep side of the search then turned around for the next leg. When I got to the spot where the Silver Bracelet was found I got a nice but growling low tone. It took two scoops but I was relieved to see the Gold Bracelet in the scoop. I cupped it in my hand and walked ashore to where Fahema was relaxing. I told her to open her hand so I could do a drop. She was obviously relieved to see the most precious of the two in her hand. Mission accomplished. Smiles & hugs and much Aloha to Fahema!
