metal detecter rental oahu Tag | The Ring Finders

This ring find began when I got a text Saturday morning from Hailee, visiting from California and attending a wedding on Oahu that said, « Aloha! I lost my ring and I’m looking for help.  I dropped it in a lawn, up Hawaii Loa Ridge, I know the exact location. »  Peter and Hailee agreed to meet at my house today so they could drive me up to the exclusive neighborhood for the ring hunt.  When we arrived Hailee pointed out the area and I began a grid search.  She told me they had about ten people looking the day it was lost, so there was the possibility it was stepped into the wet ground.  I noticed a sprinkler head in the grid and was pleasantly surprised the piping and wires were not.  First target was a dime just under the surface.  Then another target I couldn’t identify.  I was now expanding out the grid from where the ring was thought to be.  Hailee’s daughter had accidentally pulled it off her mom’s finger while they were taking photos and they thought it had gone in front of them.  I got a nice solid surface tone.  I stooped down and ran the pinpointer over the thick grass and got an immediate beep.  I moved the grass blades and there was Hailee’s beautiful ring looking up at me.  I told Peter « Found it! »  Being straight up and down it was nearly impossible to see and it was behind where Hailee had been.  Hailee was obviously overjoyed as this was her favorite ring.  Her and Peter were so grateful it was found!  Another vacation with a happy ending.  Aloha to Hailee & Peter!

This ring find began last night when I got a call from Ethan who was visiting from Texas and enjoying the waters of Paradise Cove Beach with his wife Laule’a.  Ethan said while his wife was splashing water on him in shallow knee deep water her White Gold & Diamonds Engagement ring flew off and disappeared in the soft sand.  The call came in around 8PM and it was already getting dark.  Ethan and I did a FaceTime so he could show me where they were on the beach.  I asked him to draw a line from where they were seated down to the water where the ring came off.  That way when I arrived at first light I would be able to start hunting.  When I arrived it was a very low tide so the ring would be even shallower.  After about 15 minutes the Manticore got a great tone and in one scoop there was Laule’a’s stunning ring in the scoop.  I texted a picture to Ethan but got no response.  I found out later they were exhausted and had slept in.  I knew Ethan was up when I saw, « WOAH » come over my phone.  Ethan called and we agreed to meet at 7-11 nearby Pearl Harbor for the return.  I hope to get a smiling pic from Laule’a soon.  Aloha to Ethan & Laule’a!

This ring find began when I got a call from Kaedan who was on a babymoon with his wife Holly from Dallas, Texas and stated that Aloha Security informed him that I was the Resort’s detectorist and if I could make it out to Ulua Lagoon to recover his Yellow Gold Wedding band from shallow water.  He told me it fell off his finger as he was catching a football.  I told him I could head his way in about an hour and Kaedan said he would meet me on the beach.  When I arrived, Kaedan hadn’t arrived so I started a grid search where he showed me in a FaceTime chat we had.  As I was coming back in from the first leg, I saw Kaedan walking towards me.  We discussed the search area and we widened the grid just to be sure.  As soon as my detector touched the water I found a Tungsten Wedding Band with three diamonds.  Well that’s a good sign!  I continued on.  During the hunt I found a Gold Hooped earring and a lead elephant head pendant.  As I was nearing the extreme edge of the grid I could see a look of hopelessness on Kaedan’s face.  Then, « BOOM » in thigh deep water I got a great tone and in one scoop there was the Gold Band.  A look of pure relief came over Kaedan’s face as I handed him his ring.  Babymoon saved!  Congrats & Aloha to Kaedan & Holly!

This Ring Find began when I got a text from Kyle who was on vacation from Vallejo, California and staying at the Aulani Resort.  While tossing a football he noticed his ring missing and assumed it had fallen off in neck deep high tide water.  Since it was high tide and getting late I told Kyle I would be there first light at the low tide to see if I could find his ring.  Kyle sent some excellent photos to help with the line up but no ring was found.  Then a gentlemen approached me for a Gold Chain recovery a bit farther down the beach,  but I didn’t find that either.  Probably scuba depth!  As I was heading back to my car,  thinking I had failed twice, Kyle came out to the beach.  He assured me that I had certainly covered the right area, but I decided to do a few more grid lines.  As I was returning to shore after that attempt I got a loud number 35 on the Manticore in calf deep water and there in my scoop was Kyle’s Wedding Ring.  It shocked the both of us.  I can only guess the ring was either hit by the football and got flung towards shore or that’s where it actually fell off and wasn’t noticed until much deeper water.  In any case Kyle was blessed with a return.  Aloha to Kyle!
