Metal detector for hire Waikiki Tag | The Ring Finders

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!

This Earring find began last Wednesday night when I received a text from Kim who lives in the Aliamanu area of Oahu.  She thought it would be either at Kaiona Beach known locally as Obama’s Beach as he has a home nearby or Nuuanu Park.  I missed her follow-up  call as the phone was showing a name I didn’t recognize.  We finally spoke again this morning and decided to meet at the beach around noon.  Kim met me in the parking area along the road and took me to the area of the beach she thought the Earring may have been lost.  She drew a line in the sand and I started a grid search in the water from there.  After about an hour and several possible targets later I was surprised to see her sentimental yellow gold earring in my scoop.  I went to where Kim was sunning on the beach and she met me at the water’s edge.  « Yes that’s it! » she exclaimed excitedly.  She gave me a hug of thanks and relief.  She got the earring from her Mom when she was around five years old. I told her how happy I was to find it in the water as Oahu Parks are terrible to hunt, with all the years of metal party debris in the ground.  Aloha to Kim!

This ring find began when I got a call Friday 17 April from Four Seasons Security asking if I was available to recover a guests ring in the dry sand beach chair area.  They told me their guest would be departing soon, so I would have to mail it to them if found.  Security gave me the contact’s name, Jay,  from Denver, Colorado.  I told security I would hunt first light Saturday morning so that I could move the chairs from the search area and not bother the guests.  After moving the chairs, I started a grid search.  After about 5 minutes, I got a nice low tone under where a beach chair had been and in one scoop there was a yellow gold ring.  I went to my car to text the guest a pic for confirmation.  It certainly was! We verified by the brand name.  « That’s the one!  Thank you very much! »  The post office was still open, so I rushed and packed the ring and Jay received it today in Denver!  Another one for the Book of Smiles!  Aloha to Jay!
