Lost Ring … Found near Riverside Iowa
I found a 14K wedding band with diamonds on Monday for a lady. It was the second time looking for it. It was lost of all places in a goat barn. The barn floor was cement and full of iron and impossible to detect anything in.
So the husband cleaned it all out. It was like a needle in a haystack outside the barn but I got lucky and found it on top of the mounds of hay and muck.
Ring Return While On Cruise Ship!
I was detecting a beach in the Bahamas while on a cruise when a cruiser came up to me and said he lost his ring in the water. I searched but did not find it. I got their cabin number and keep searching. Later on I found it in an area a little bit farther away from where they thought they had lost it. An exciting return with smiles!
AIRLOOM ROLEX WATCH AND GOLD RING LOST IN THE PALISADES FIRE FOUND AND RETURNED
Jillian called me and told me that she was referred to me by Audra who I had helped find an engagement ring after the fire. I went to the property a couple of days later to help her locate two safes that were lost in the fire and buried under the rubble. When I arrived I was told that the area were the safes were located was down about 10 feet and under two or three feet of rubble. I had to break open an iron grate that covered the ladder before I could climb down. It took a few trips to carry the equipment down the steps . I cut through plaster , cement and drywall to get to the area that the safes were buried. That took over an hour. Finally I uncovered one safe and then the other. One was empty but in the other one I found Jillians father in laws Rolex watch that was handed down to her husband. I Also found a gold ring and some silver coins. This search was a little challenging because I’m not fond of heights and I didn’t want what was left of the house to collapse on me but I did come out unscathed.

Bill contacted me about doing a search at his property where his home had succumbed to the fire in January. He was most interested in finding his wife’s wedding and engagement rings. We arranged a day and time to meet, and I was able to go.
When I got there Bill was already at the property. I introduced myself, and began asking questions, wanting to know where the rings had been, and where he thought I should look. His wife was on the way, but we got started right away. Bill showed me the area where he remembered last seeing the jewelry box, and we ran an estimated area of the search. I donned my safety gear, and began moving the big stuff out of the way in order to get to finer debris. When Bill’s wife Lourdes arrived, she came over to say that I was looking in the wrong area, and that I should be looking on the other side of the room. She showed me where she believed the rings should be. and that’s where I began. It wasn’t that Bill was wrong because there was a jewelry box where he remembered, but what he didn’t know was that his wife put her rings elsewhere. Knowing where to look is very important in these searches. I began working through the debris shovelful by shovelful, and noticed that Bill and Lourdes had left. Not long after, I found the wedding ring and placed in a container. When they returned Lourdes came up and asked how things were going, and I showed her the ring I found. She got very excited and hopeful that the other ring would be found. About 15 minutes later I was able to find the engagement ring, which pretty much made their day. They had lost everything, but I was able to help them find a precious memory, and bring a little joy back in their lives.

Two Weeks Married Husband Lost His Gold Ring .. Huntington Harbor, Huntington Beach, CA.
Stan the Metal Detector Man is waiting for your call … 949-500-2136
*** Kayla and Sam had only been married a couple weeks when he lost his new gold wedding band in a swimming area at Trinidad Park swim area, Huntington Beach, CA.
I met them that same day to get the story and conditions.
The area of the loss would require hooka diving as it could be 10-12ft deep. I returned the next day and began the search. After about 45 minutes I could not search the location because there were too many young teenagers dominating this area of the beach.
I returned several weeks later with my back up diver, Rudy to double up on the search. Also a good time to have Rudy practice with my dive detector equipment .. I knew the ring was still in the location and it was not littered with metal trash. Rudy went in first while I stood by for the second search. Boom! Rudy came up with the brand new gold wedding band, saving me from having to get wet. I gave him the phone number and let him share the good news to Sam and Kayla. He also lived close enough to them to experience giving the ring to them personally.
It was a fun recovery, I just wish I could have organized the dive sooner. Dive calls take a lot of preparation. The important thing is getting the ring back to its rightful owner.
I’m available to help you now. “ Have Detector, Will Travel” .. I WILL TRY ANYWHERE.

Thank You »Jay Durant » Reporter for Global News
I received a phone call from a young man who lost his wedding band at a park, he said he saw a story about my service on Global News that afternoon, it gave him hope that maybe I could find it for him.
He also told me he had rented a metal detector and searched for it but could not find it. I always wonder how many times that happens where people rent or buy a detector and don’t find what they’re looking for and walk away.
When I met Jeff at the park, he showed me the area where he had put a blanket down while his youngster was playing, and when he got up, he shook the blanket and the ring went flying. It took me less than five minutes to find his white gold wedding band that he wore for six years. I have to thank Jay Durant & Global News for running a great story and helping their viewers find what they thought was lost forever.

I got a call from Don on my way home from Digstock in NC. He lost his wedding ring in his backyard a few months ago and wanted to see if I could come out and look for it. He had looked, even with a metal detector, and did not have any luck. After getting home and checking my schedule I went out the next day.
When I arrived I met Don’s wife and she showed me where to look. Pretty standard, big hill for sledding with a few small trees and a little area of brush. I started to look and before too long Don came back from work. After about a half hour I found his ring in a mossy area a short distance from where he thought he might have lost it. I gave it to his wife to give to him when he came out of the house. He was happy it was found and I took him to the back to show him where. There had been some pretty good sounds in the backyard and Don told me it was an old golf course. He gave me permission to look around which I was very appreciative. On top of finding his ring I added a bit more clad to the collection, nothing good but it was a beautiful day and a new place to look. As always it was nice to meet another kind and generous client and be able to return their ring to them.

Lost wedding ring found on the Soccer Field at West Ranch HS in Valencia
Lost Your Ring in Santa Clarita? How Dave MacDonald, Metal Detecting Expert, Saved Raul’s Wedding Ring
March 10, 2025
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.
