If you have lost your grandmother’s ring or your wedding ring call or text Santa Barbara and Ventura County’s metal detection expert Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009. Don’t wait because time, the tides, lawnmowers and even other detectorists are not on your side.

I got a call from a nice young lady named Glory who after weekend classes at Pacifica Graduate Institute was unwinding with friends and playing some volleyball in the grass when a spike sent her grandmother’s ring flying off her finger somewhere into the grass. She along with her friends had spent hours looking for it but couldn’t find it so they took to the internet and found metal detection expert Dave MacDonald and set up a time for me to come out.

I couldn’t get up there the same day so I promised Glory I would get there at sun up the next day. She was a little nervous because she needed to go back home to Berkeley but I assured her that once I found it I would promptly mail it back to her. The sun was just coming up when I arrived in the hills of Summerland and I met the security guard on campus and coordinated a grid pattern to make sure I would get my Minelab Manticore coil over the ring. After three passes I got a high hit on the manticore and I pulled out my pinpointer to verify a surface target and after pulling the grass apart there sat embedded in the grass a beautiful old 24k gold ring.

I showed the security guard the ring and we concluded it had to be the one and I took a photo of it and sent it to Glory. As we figured it was her grandmother’s ring, now on it’s way back home where it belongs.

If you too have lost a ring, necklace, pendant or bracelet do what Glory did, call or text the metal detection expert in Santa Barbara and Ventura county Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009 so we can make a plan to get your jewelry back to you. Don’t waste time trying to buy or rent a metal detector, just call the metal detection expert at 805-290-5009 so you can get back what was lost.

Gold Bracelet recovered in Summerland CA.

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

I got a call the week before Christmas to see if I could locate a very expensive gold bracelet that had been lost during a boutique gathering at a popular shop in Summerland. The bracelet was lost during the evening and wasn’t inventoried until the next day. Unfortunately, the grounds it was lost on are covered in loose gravel that is raked every day before the business opening. To further compound the problem, the greater Santa Barbara area had experienced 3 days of pounding rain which had caused flooding throughout the area and had turned the gravel area into a muddy gravel area.

Since this was a business with hundreds of items for sale I would rely more on my pinpointer and I began the process of moving on my hands and knees slowly dragging the pinpointer in the muddy gravel. With no discrimination, I was finding every bit of metal in the ground and gravel but I finally got a strong signal and dug down into the gravel and out of the mud came this beautiful gold bracelet with diamonds. Mission accomplished!

I was able to make the return to the store owner who then contacted the vendor to tell her of the good news that the gold bracelet was found and would be returned. If you happen to loose a ring, bracelet or other piece of jewelry do what they did and contact me, Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009 so we can get your keepsake back where it belongs.
