The Tale of a Found Wedding Ring: A Bell Canyon Recovery Story

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Title: Dave MacDonald: Lost Ring Recovery Expert in Bell Canyon & Malibu
An email from davetheringfinder.com interrupted my day with Jourdan’s heartfelt plea: her wedding ring had slipped over her balcony railing into the steep canyon below her Bell Canyon home, a hidden gem near Los Angeles. As Dave MacDonald the Ringfinder, I’ve tackled lost ring recovery in Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks, and beyond—I was determined to help. We quickly set a meeting at her Bell Canyon residence.
The canyon’s jagged rocks and thick brush—echoing the wild terrains of Calabasas and Lost Hills—tested my skills. My first four-hour search sifted through metal junk across Westlake Village-like slopes, but the ring stayed hidden. I returned, undeterred, with Jourdan. We recreated the ring’s fall using decoys, a trick I’ve honed in Encino and Malibu, narrowing its path.
Hours later, my metal detector pinged faintly in a dense thicket—a glimmer of hope. Navigating the undergrowth like I’ve done in Thousand Oaks, I found it: Jourdan’s wedding ring, shining in the sunlight. With a prayer of thanks, I handed it to her, her joy ringing through Bell Canyon. This is lost ring recovery at its best.

Gold Wedding Ring Found Near Scranton PA

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)

I received a call from Katie who said she lost her wedding ring in a large corn play area, a place I had been to find another ring a month earlier. Walking in the corn pit is difficult and you need to remove your socks and shoes. It was a very cold and windy day during my search and my feet become numb within minutes. I found a ring, but unfortunately it was not Katie’s wedding band, so I continued to search and found her ring shortly after. I texted her a photo to confirm that I had the correct ring as she was unable to meet me at the site. She was so excited that I found it and we made arrangements to return it back to her. No matter where a lost item may be, whether on land, water or even in corn, call me at 610-207-8677.

Wedding Ring Found Along Road

  • from Reading (Pennsylvania, United States)

I received a text from Danielle saying she lost her wedding and engagement rings along a busy road near Scranton PA. She told me the rings could possibly be in very thick brush and high grass along the roads guardrail. I began searching which was made difficult because of the thick brush and lots of aluminum cans and trash along the road. After about 45min of searching, I decided to walk along the road to see if the rings could be on the roadway. I found the engagement ring along the curb which had obvious damage from getting run over by cars. I continued to search for the wedding band but could not find it. Danielle was beyond thrilled that I found the most valuable ring because of the diamonds. Her plans are to contact a jeweler to see if they can fix the ring or reset the diamonds in a new band. No matter where you may have lost jewelry, don’t hesitate to call me.

Ring lost at Mission Beach Found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Trevor was throwing a football around at Mission Beach with a group of friends when his wedding ring flew off during one of his throws. Nobody saw it land in the dry sand, so, trying to find it was hopeless without the proper equipment and knowledge to use it. Trevor’s friend Matt found my contact information and gave me a call. I gathered my gear and hit the road with my wife so she could circle with the car in case we couldn’t find parking. I contacted Matt when I arrived and soon Trevor and some of his friends met me on the beach. I got the low down on how the ring was lost, the search area, and it’s approximate landing spot. This beach stays pretty clean with all the detectorists these days, so, targets were few and far between. After just a few pieces of foil, a couple of bottle caps and a half dozen passes later, I finally got a solid signal in the range I would expect Trevor’s ring to be in. A night in the dog house averted, and a happy Trevor has his precious back again. Thanks for the reward.

  • from North Wildwood (New Jersey, United States)

In need of something recovered?

Don’t wait to call!

215-850-0188

I received a call back in May about several sentimental and valuable items lost in a house fire in New Jersey. After several phone calls and a long wait for permits to enter the home site, we were finally able to search for the lost family heirlooms this weekend.

The fire had taken the home down to the foundation which made the recovery search very difficult. The effort continued over the course of a few days. I was able to recover the gold family heirlooms from the sad and tragic loss.

A Heartfelt Reunion: Recovering a Lost Wedding Ring After 14 Years in Santa Clarita

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Title: Dave MacDonald: Lost Ring Recovery in Santa Clarita Yards & Hillsides
Months ago, Stephanie emailed me about a lost treasure: her father-in-law’s wedding ring, missing for 14 years in their Santa Clarita backyard. Today, I met Sheryl in Valencia, hearing how it likely slipped off during a yard-mowing session gone awry due to a medical tweak. As Dave MacDonald Ringfinder at davetheringfinder.com, I specialize in lost ring recovery and metal detecting in the grass, yard, hillside, and garden across Saugus, Newhall, and beyond—I was ready to dig in.
The Canyon Country-like yard was a maze of grass and soil, littered with nickels and can slivers. I’ve scoured Acton hillsides and Agua Dulce gardens, so I methodically gridded the space with my metal detector. Near the end, a faint 13-15 signal hummed in Lancaster-style terrain. Eight inches deep, past Palmdale sod layers, I unearthed the ring—a relic of love lost in a Quartz Hill backyard. Sheryl’s tears turned to joy as I handed it over, a miracle 14 years in the making.

Ring Lost On Popular Beach Location Found One Month Later By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

Bogue Inlet Pier – Emerald Isle, NC

Lauren visited Bogue Inlet Pier on September 7th with her son as was wading in the surf when a larger wave knocked her over.  She told me her hands went into the sand and she felt her chocolate diamond ring slide off of her finger.  She was very upset but noticed a man out with his detector and went to him for help.  Bogue Inlet Pier (BIP) gets a lot of beach traffic and also many detectorist come there to search for « treasures ».   After being unable to find her ring, the gentleman suggested she contact Crystal Coast Ring Finders.  I made plans to hunt the very next low tide early in the morning and only a few hours after the loss of the ring.  The surf was still very strong and I too was unsuccessful.  Lauren was very upset when I talked with her and I felt terrible I could not make the recovery that morning.  I live near BIP and each time I went there to hunt the beach, I made it a point to search the area of Lauren’s lost ring.  Recently, we had some sand movement that allowed the replenished beach sand to move.  This created a low spot near the water’s edge.  To my surprise, after so many days lost and I’m sure, many other metal detectors hunting the same area, her ring was rescued on the evening of October 7th.  It was about 50 yards further West on the beach.  I had not met Lauren yet and messaged her to tell her I needed her to fill out my standard search contract.  We agreed to meet at her father’s business.  After we met and she completed the search contract without knowing I had her lost ring,.. I gave her one of my business cards.  When she turned the card over, her lost ring was taped to the back of the card.  She burst into tears.  I was very happy that something very good happened to Lauren this year as she explained it hadn’t been going well.

A Tale of Lost Love Rediscovered: The Recovery of Cielo’s Engagement Ring at East Beach Santa Barbara

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Dave MacDonald: Lost Ring Recovery at East Beach, Santa Barbara
A distress call from Ian broke the calm of Sunday evening: his fiancée, Cielo, lost her engagement ring to the ocean tide at East Beach in Santa Barbara. Entrusted to Ian while she swam, the ring slipped away, swallowed by waves and sand. Ian turned to Dave MacDonald Ringfinder at davetheringfinder.com, the expert for lost ring recovery in Santa Barbara, from East Beach to Hammonds Beach, to save the day.
Tuesday dawned with hope. I met Ian and Cielo at Hendry’s Beach, my metal detector ready to tackle Bates Beach-like tides and Loon Point Beach-style sands. Gridding the shoreline—a method I’ve perfected at Leadbetter Beach and Butterfly Beach—I hit a faint signal after initial misses. Digging into the damp sand near Summerland Beach’s edge, I found it: Cielo’s ring, shining in the sun. Their joy echoed from Miramar Beach to Thousand Steps Beach.

Ring lost at South Mission Beach Found!

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)

Danny was playing volleyball at South Mission Beach Friday afternoon, took his wedding ring off before the game started, and put the ring in his shoe on the sideline for safe keeping. During the day, His gear was moved to a different court for another game. After all the games ended, he headed to his car where he proceeded to grab his ring and put his shoes on. Oh oh, no ring! He retraced his steps and searched both areas, but, no luck. He got online and found TheRingFinders.com and my contact info. He called me Saturday afternoon and we made arrangements to meet the next morning at 7am to do the search. We met early Sunday morning and I searched both areas thoroughly, but, no ring. In fact, I only found one cent and a junk charm in the whole area. It was likely someone had already detected that area sometime between when he lost the ring Friday afternoon, and when I searched Sunday morning. I told Danny that I would keep his lost ring on file and contact fellow club members and other I know who detect that beach and let him know if I get any response. Sure enough, I emailed out his lost ring story to my local detecting club and our vice president Rick answered that he think he found it! Rick sent me a photo of the ring he found at that location on Friday night and it was a dead-on match. Rick and I met Danny Monday morning for the return. Sometimes it takes some teamwork for a successful recovery, but, the results are what counts. Thanks for your help Rick. Danny (on the left in the photo) appreciated that.
