A Recent Rescue at Harbor Cove Beach
VenturaLate Sunday evening,  Jennifer from out of town texted Dave in a panic. Her husband’s wedding ring slipped off while they were enjoying a sunny day at Harbor Cove Beach in Ventura Harbor. The family searched frantically but soon realized they needed a professional with a metal detector. Dave, despite another call, promised to be there at first light Monday morning to recover the ring. Since the family lived far away, Dave agreed to mail the ring back if found, as he’s done for others.Arriving at Harbor Cove Beach before dawn, Dave had the beach to himself—except for a few crows. He gridded the area where the family thought the ring was lost but found nothing. Expanding his search toward the jetty rocks, he navigated through thick metal debris from old beach fires.
Finally, a clear tone stood out among the rusty bottle caps. With his CKG scoop, Dave unearthed the beautiful wedding ring. He texted Jennifer the good news, and by 9 a.m., the ring was on its way back to the overjoyed couple.

Recently, while wrapping up a ring recovery at Silverstrand Beach, I received a text from Bob in Santa Barbara. He had lost his wedding ring while doing yard work in his backyard. After two days of searching with no luck, Bob’s wife suggested professional help. A quick search led them to Dave The Ringfinder on TheRingFinders.com.
We met at 9 AM in Bob’s Santa Barbara backyard. He walked me through the area where he’d been pulling weeds, suspecting the ring slipped off during the task. I began gridding the large lawn with my Minelab Manticore. Halfway through, my attention was drawn to a spot where Bob had tossed weeds. He’d already searched there, even pulling out plants, but found nothing. Trusting my instincts, I scanned the area and got a strong 49-50 TID signal. Expecting trash, I was surprised when my pinpointer beeped, and as I moved the dirt, a gold ring emerged! Bob had unknowingly stepped on his ring, burying it in the dirt while searching.
Thanks to Dave The Ringfinder and a bit of intuition, another ring was recovered!

Lost Ring Recovery on Oxnard, Ventura, Carpinteria, Malibu, and Santa Barbara Beaches
On the evening of July 4th, the beaches of Oxnard, Ventura, Carpinteria, Malibu, and Santa Barbara were alive with fireworks and festivities. Amid the celebrations, my phone buzzed constantly with calls from people desperate to recover lost jewelry. While I couldn’t assist everyone, one call stood out—Patrick, who had lost his wedding ring while enjoying a family day at Silverstrand Beach in Oxnard, CA.Patrick and his family had been soaking up the sun and surf when his platinum wedding ring slipped off his finger into the dry sand. He froze, marked his spot mentally, and began searching frantically with his family. They sifted through the sand for over an hour, but the ring remained elusive. Frustrated, Patrick’s wife decided it was time to call a professional.
That’s when they reached out to me, Dave The RingFinder, at 805-290-5009.
We arranged for me to arrive at Silverstrand Beach at sunrise the next morning. Patrick provided detailed photos and a precise location, which helped narrow down the search area. At 5:45 AM on July 5th, I hit the beach, expecting to see other detectorists eager to scour the post-holiday sands. Surprisingly, I had the beach to myself. Using my Minelab Manticore, I methodically gridded the area, starting small and expanding outward. After a careful sweep, I got a solid 39-40 signal, plunged my CKG scoop into the sand, and there it was—Patrick’s gleaming platinum wedding ring.
Losing a ring on the beaches of Oxnard, Ventura, Carpinteria, Malibu, or Santa Barbara can feel devastating, but time is critical. Tides, other detectorists, and shifting sands can make recovery challenging. Don’t wait—call or text Dave The RingFinder at 805-290-5009 for fast, professional lost ring recovery.

After realizing the loss at the top of the beach stairs, Alexis and her friends returned to search.

Recently, I received a late-night text from Hannah in Ventura, desperate to find her husband’s gold wedding ring lost at Marina Park Beach. While digging for sand crabs with their kids near the wet sand at high tide, her husband realized his ring was gone. The incoming waves erased all traces of their digging, leaving little hope of recovery.
Hannah posted on Facebook for help, and a friend recommended a metal detecting professional. Another shared my website, DaveTheRingFinder, and she reached out immediately. Based on the tides, I had one shot at an early low tide the next morning. Arriving at Marina Park Beach in the dark, I gridded the area with my Minelab Manticore. The beach’s bowl-like shape and recent high tide had buried everything deep under sand from the dunes, making it tough to detect anything.
Near the rocks, I finally picked up a faint signal. After digging 15 inches with my CKG Titanium scoop, I uncovered a massive gold wedding band—a solid 45 on my detector, buried so deep a smaller ring might’ve been missed. I texted Hannah and dropped the ring off at her Ventura home, where she was thrilled and grateful. Another successful recovery!

Lost Your Ring, Keys, or Phone in Valencia, Newhall, or Santa Clarita? Call Dave The Ring Finder!
This afternoon, I connected with Ryan, whose son lost his cell phone after a fun family day at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia. They had pulled over on their way home to stretch, somewhere near Newhall or Santa Clarita, but Ryan wasn’t sure of the exact spot. With Ryan now three hours away, I headed out to search without my metal detector—just using my eyes and determination.
The area near Santa Clarita was large, and the kids had been running around, so I began gridding the site.

After several passes, it was clear the phone wasn’t where Ryan thought. Thinking it might have been placed on the car and fallen off, I searched along the roadside. Sure enough, just three feet from traffic in the Santa Clarita dirt, I found the phone! A bit dusty but fully functional, it was lucky no one ran it over.
Since Ryan was out of town, I mailed the phone back from a local Valencia post office. As any parent knows, kids need their phones!

Lost Wedding Ring in the Sand Recovered at East Beach Santa Barbara

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered on East Beach: Dave MacDonald, The Ring Finder Santa Barbara
If you’ve lost a ring in Santa Barbara, you’re in luck—Dave MacDonald of The Ring Finders Santa Barbara is your local expert for metal detecting and ring recovery. Last night, I received an urgent text from Joshua, a Bay Area resident visiting his daughter at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB). While enjoying a family day at East Beach, disaster struck: his wife’s platinum wedding ring slipped off into the sand near the high tide line. For locals and visitors alike, losing a ring on Santa Barbara beaches can feel hopeless—but that’s where I come in as DaveTheRingFinder in Santa Barbara.
The Search Begins on East Beach
Joshua explained that he and his wife had frantically searched the sandy stretch for 30 minutes with no success. That’s when their quick-thinking daughter searched online for “ring finder in Santa Barbara” and found me, Dave MacDonald, a proud member of The Ring Finders network serving Santa Barbara, CA. It was late, but time is critical in these situations—rings can sink deeper into the sand or get swept away by tides. I agreed to head out to East Beach right away and told Joshua I’d contact him once I arrived at the spot.
Joshua had marked the suspected location with a stick propped up in the sand. But when I got to East Beach—located along Santa Barbara’s scenic coastline near the UCSB campus—I found not one, but two sticks, spaced about 75 yards apart. This is common in beach recoveries; panic and shifting tides can confuse even the best memory.
Finding the Platinum Ring with Precision
As Santa Barbara’s trusted ring finder, I rely on my Minelab Manticore metal detector and years of experience. I started by gridding the first stick’s location, methodically sweeping the sand for any signal. Nothing turned up, so I moved to the second spot 75 yards down the beach. Halfway through gridding this area, I got a promising mid-tone signal—deeper than surface finds, suggesting the ring had settled into the sand.
Using my CKG scoop, I dug three times, and on the third scoop, I heard that satisfying clang—a sound every ring finder lives for. There, gleaming in the bottom of the scoop, was a stunning platinum wedding ring. Another success for Dave MacDonald, The Ring Finders Santa Barbara!
Reuniting the Ring with Its Owner
I immediately texted Joshua a photo to confirm it was his wife’s ring. His response? An enthusiastic “YES!” He was just 20 minutes away, so we arranged to meet up. Handing over that precious ring was a reminder of why I do this—bringing relief and joy to people in Santa Barbara and beyond.

Lost Your Ring in Santa Clarita? How Dave MacDonald, Metal Detecting Expert, Saved Raul’s Wedding Ring
March 10, 2025
Yesterday afternoon, I received an urgent call from Raul, a Valencia resident who had lost his wedding ring at West Ranch High School. Raul plays in a competitive men’s soccer league every Sunday on the school’s grassy field. Usually, his focus is on winning the game, but this time, victory took a backseat—he just wanted his precious wedding ring back. He explained that he’d removed the ring for safekeeping, placing it in or on his bag, only to discover it missing an hour later.
Raul suspected the ring was lost somewhere between two points on the field—a sprawling 200-yard stretch of grass in Valencia. That’s a big area to cover, so I knew I’d need to bring my A-game as Santa Clarita’s trusted metal detecting expert. We arranged to meet on Monday at 3:30 PM, after the school day ended and the field cleared out. Raul and his friend had bought a couple of cheap metal detectors the day before, hoping to find it themselves. I advised him to return them—when it comes to finding lost rings in Santa Clarita, Valencia, Castaic, or Canyon Country, Dave The RingFinder is the name you can trust.
The Search Begins with Dave The RingFinder
We started at the endpoint near where we parked, retracing Raul’s steps from Sunday. I worked slowly and methodically, ensuring no patch of grass was overlooked. Fortunately, the West Ranch HS field in Valencia had minimal trash, so my metal detector stayed quiet—perfect conditions for a focused search. As we progressed, though, time dragged on, and the remaining field shrank. I started to worry: had someone picked up the ring, or worse, had a mower flung it hundreds of feet away, lost forever?
Halfway through, I suggested a new strategy—let’s head to where Raul had originally been on the field and start fresh. He marked off a 30’x30’ area, and I began gridding it out like the metal detecting pro I am, while Raul searched nearby. I dug up 20-30 quarters and dimes—typical finds on a school field—but no gold yet. Doubt crept in. Then, my detector let out a double beep, a low tone that could mean a gold ring… or just another pull-tab. I held my breath, dug down, and there it was—Raul’s wedding ring, gleaming in the grass!
Another Happy Ending Thanks to Dave MacDonald
Raul’s relief was instant—he was out of the doghouse, and his ring was back where it belonged. As I like to say, “God is good!” Another lost ring recovered, right here in Valencia.

Lost Wedding Ring Found at Carpinteria State Beach

Today, I received an urgent text from Mike, who had been camping and playing football at Carpinteria State Beach. While diving for a catch, his ring slipped off—stripped from his finger in a one-in-a-million moment. He wasn’t sure of the exact spot, but we narrowed it down to a 20×20-foot area of sand. I grabbed my gear and got to work.
The challenge? The beach was littered with bottle caps, pull tabs, and melted aluminum scraps. My Minelab Manticore was picking up a symphony of signals, making it impossible to zero in on the ring’s tone without digging every target. With so much metal trash, I couldn’t risk the ring being masked, so I committed to clearing the area scoop by scoop.
After 40 minutes and about 40 dug targets, doubt started creeping in. Had we misjudged the spot? I expanded the search slightly, and within a minute, I hit a solid 50-51 tone—a promising sign. I plunged my CKG scoop into the sand, gave it a few shakes, and there it was: Mike’s lost ring gleaming in the sunlight!
What started as a tougher-than-expected hunt ended in success. Losing a ring in the sand at Carpinteria State Beach doesn’t have to ruin your trip—Dave The Ring Finder has you covered. Call or text 805-290-5009 today, and let me reunite you with your lost treasure!
