metal detector hawaii Tag | The Ring Finders

This ring find began when I returned from a hunt at Aulani Lagoon.  Shannon on vacation from Mt. Airy, Maryland left a voicemail saying his wife Kelly lost two White Gold & Diamonds Wedding Rings in the dry sand of Ulua lagoon.  While applying suntan lotion Kelly had taken off her rings and placed them on a beach chair.  Then as she went to adjust her chair the rings flew off into the sand and disappeared.  They had looked carefully but they were out of sight.  I told Shannon I would be over from the other lagoon in a moment and he told me there location on the beach.  As I headed down to the beach Shannon noticed me with my gear and waved me over.  We moved a beach chair out of the way and I started a grid search.  On the second leg I got a nice #10 on the Manticore and in one gentle scoop there were Kelly’s beautiful rings lying together in the scoop.  I let her reach in and retrieve them.  Shannon stated that wasn’t where they were looking and realized Kelly really adjusted that beach chair with some force.  All good, vacation saved.  Aloha to Kelly & Shannon!

This ring find began when I got a voicemail from Liz saying that Aloha Security told her I might be able to locate her Mom’s Platinum & Diamonds Engagement Ring in shallow water at Paradise Cove Beach.  I told her I had a hunt in Waikiki I had to finish up and then I would head right over to Paradise Cove.  When I got to Paradise Cove Liz’s mom Debbie, from NYC, was waiting at the lagoon to show me the area to hunt.  She told me she was throwing a football with her grandchildren and when she reached to catch the football her engagement ring flew off into shallow water.  I walked out to the furtherest distance Debbie was and started a grid search back towards shore.  On about the third leg I got a nice 27-32 hit on the Manticore and on the second scoop there was Debbie’s amazing ring in the scoop.  She was so thankful and I think she was about to cry.  Many people had looked for her but it was buried.  Another vacation saved!  Aloha to Debbie and Family!

This ring find began on 2 November when I got a message asking « How much do you charge to locate a ring? »  from Jose who is in the Army stationed on Oahu.  It’s reward based and that’s always up to the customer.  Since the lagoons were rough and with high tides along with a three day coin show that weekend I told Jose I would hunt Veteran’s Day early morning.  He sent me some excellent photos of the area to hunt.  Since I start on the left side of a grid normally and work to the right it actually took an hour and a half to recover the ring as it was on the extreme right side of the grid as I was begining to think this was going to be a fail.  Jose swung by this evening to pick up his ring.  Smiling & Freed from the dog house!  Aloha to Jose!
