metal detecting services oahu Tag | The Ring Finders

This ring find began when I got a call from Matt who was on vacation from Seattle and after returning from a swim went to flick a piece of beach slime from his hand his ring flew off and disappeared into the sand.  I told him I just got back from Ko Olina but after grabbing a bite to eat I would return to find his ring in the dry sand near the beach chairs.  When I arrived Matt waved me down as I entered the beach area.  We walked over to the search area and Matt described what had happened.  I assumed this would be a quick find and I would be on my way back home.  I searched the area in front of the chairs where Matt thought the ring should be.  No Ring!  We moved the chairs out of the way and searched again.  No Ring!  I expanded the search grid to double the size in each direction.  No Ring!  I started discussing to Matt about other possibilities and he began to think it might have fallen off in the water or elsewhere.  I decided to do a grid search at 90 degrees to the initial grid but this time I went way down towards the water.  Actually about triple the grid size and BOOM!  One scoop Big Gold Ring Found!  Matt didn’t know his own strength.  That ring went for a launch!  Big relief for Matt and his lovely wife Katherine.  Aloha to Matt and his family!

This ring find began Sunday afternoon when I got a text from Kelsey who lives in Wahiawa on Oahu and was enjoying her day with friends at Lanikuhonua Lagoon on Ko Olina resort.  She put her Silver Owl Face ring in her beach bag for safe keeping.  At the end of the day the ring was missing from the bag.  Kelsey could only assume it fell out as she was putting items in and out of her bag.  It was getting late but there was just enough sunlight that I could get out to the lagoon for a quick hunt.  I grabbed my gear and headed off.  The traffic was really good so I got to the lagoon faster then I thought.  I started my hunt high up on the beach as that is where Kelsey had her beach items.  I worked my way down the slope and also noticed a high tide went all the way to the top of this beach.  That meant the ring probably traveled down the slope with each wave.  On a leg about 3/4 of the way down the slope I got a broken my decent high tone on the Manticore.  One scoop and there was an owl looking at me from inside my scoop.  Wow!  Now that’s a really cool ring.  The eyes would follow you as you rotated the ring.  When I got to my phone I texted then called Kelsey that i had found her unique sentimental ring.  She was obviously very relieved and met me today near my work for the return.  Have a Mele Kalikimaka and Aloha to Kelsey!

This ring find began during the Summer, when a gentleman named Mike, who was on vacation from Alberta, Canada and staying at the Aulani Resort approached me on the beach and asked if I could hunt for his Size 15 Oura eRing.  I proceeded to hunt the areas he thought it might be lost but I was unsuccessful during that hunt.  Fast forward to October after the Aulani Resort performed a beach sand restoration project I was walking in shallow water when I got an unusual tone on the Manticore.  After one scoop there was a huge Man’s Oura eRing in the scoop.  I remembered Mike and texted him in Canada if this was the one he had been looking for?  His response, « OMG!  Yes it is. »  We arranged for a return via the Postal Service and Mike sent me this picture today from his home in Canada.  BRRR!  It looks cold there but still got a Shaka.  Never give up the hunt.  Aloha to Mike!
