Got a call this morning telling me a engagement ring given 50yrs ago was lost in a yard, but it was lost in June. This was a concern knowing now it would not be a surface find anymore but have to give it a shot, I planned on being there most of the morning.
I was quite surprised when my very first signal was about 2 inches deep and pulled out this beautiful platinum wedding ring, not to mention how surprised the husband was.
This afternoon, while perusing the Lost and Found section on Craigslist, I stumbled upon a distressing post—a plea for help to find a lost Titanium wedding band at Mondo’s beach in Ventura. The story unfolded with Jared, enjoying an afternoon surf session while his wife and young daughter basked in the sun on the sandy shores. In a sudden twist of fate, as Jared’s wife rose from her spot, the ring slipped from her grasp and disappeared into the soft grains of sand beneath them.
The frantic search that ensued only added to the chaos, with multiple hands delving into the sand, inadvertently moving the ring further from its original location. With Jared’s directions pinpointing the approximate spot at Mondo’s, I set out with determination, fueled by my familiarity with the beach from countless surfing ventures.
Meeting Jared at the scene, we wasted no time in identifying the area of interest. Within moments, my trusty XP Deus metal detector signaled a promising find—a clear indication that the lost treasure lay just beneath the surface. With swift precision, I unearthed the buried ring, gleaming softly in the fading sunlight.
As the golden rays of dusk enveloped us, a sense of triumph washed over Jared and me. Another precious memory salvaged, another heartache averted.

Received a call saying that their 4 year old son through a jewelry tray out a second story window, they were able to find everything except for a platinum wedding ring, No more than 5min into searching I hit it. Love a happy ending.
I was contacted on Oct. 19th about a woman’s lost wedding ring. About a month ago Paula had been pulling weeds around her yard and was throwing them down a steep hill when she realized her wedding ring went flying with the weeds. Her husband rented a detector and then bought a cheaper detector in the hopes of locating the ring. After hours of searching he decided he needed some help. I arrived this morning around 9:00 a.m. and he showed me the location that he already had marked out with orange flags. I made my way back and forth between the flags and I believe it was my third or fourth good signal I found her ring! It came up at 12-12 on the CTX3030.
I was very happy to help this nice couple recover her ring and thanks for the great reward.
Following Sunday service, my phone rang with a plea for assistance from a distressed young lady who had encountered a streak of misfortune during her weekend camping trip at Carpinteria State Beach for the Avocado festival. Amidst the festivities, she had tragically misplaced a ring gifted to her by her mother, intended to ward off the string of bad luck she had been experiencing. Adding insult to injury, a neighboring camper had inadvertently damaged her Honda Civic, compounding her woes.
Upon arrival at the beach camping site, littered with debris and remnants of previous visitors, our task seemed daunting. Nails, bottle caps, and loose change cluttered the sandy terrain, posing challenges to our search efforts. Undeterred, we embarked on the quest to recover the precious lost ring.
After scouring the area for approximately 20 minutes, a promising signal echoed from my new XP Deus metal detector amidst the iceplant and sand. With bated breath, I unearthed the buried treasure, revealing the gleaming gold ring hidden beneath the surface.
In that triumphant moment, amidst the backdrop of adversity, we emerged victorious. The ring, a symbol of hope and resilience, was restored to its rightful owner, turning the tide of misfortune.

Kevin was playing ball in the last of the summer’s warm water when the his wedding band slipped into the water. A group of friends spent many hours of searching without the result they desired. A call to J&E Enterprise lead Kevin to calling me for help. Hurricane Jose was coming with high winds, surf and winds, I had to go NOW. Passing up the National Hamburger Day dinner, I was off to a little known beach to start a search. I had Kevin’s description of where to search and Elizabeth was to meet up with me to add more information.
I arrived about an hour before Elizabeth showed up on the beach. I had searched the area Kevin had described. Now with a few more questions answered I moved the search area over another 30 feet. After covering the new area I was on my own. I had to widen the search area and did so by working the wet sand area. I did a turn and magically Ted was standing there watching me. He told me he was Kevin’s friend going back to early school days. He then suggested I cover the area where he would through a rock to. Well that did not go too well as his arm was not in good enough shape to toss a rock far enough. So into the water I went with instructions for Ted to tell me were to stop and search. Another 10 yards past were I had searched I was told to stop. I marked off 5 yards either side of the “stop” mark. I started searching in the direction Elizabeth had said to move from where I had searched. Another 10 minutes and the shining white gold ring was glittering in my scoop. A good thing as I could see and feel some of Jose’s force heading our way.
Timing is always of the essence in locating a lost item. The earlier a search can be started the better the chance for a recovery is. A hint for anyone that “looses” an object is to mark the area, take pictures, note any physical objects that can be used as a reference point then call a RingFinder. If an item is lost in the water, drop a few coins in the area as a “marker” for a searcher to look for. Or as Kevin did – have friends able to help in the search. If it had not been for Ted showing up and putting me in the proper area, I would not have found the ring that afternoon. And it might not have been a couple of days before the hurricane would pass and detecting would be safe to do again.
Thanks Ted!
Ted texted Kevin, Elizabeth and the other friends that had helped in the previous days of searching. Kevin called, thanked me and I gave the ring to Ted to return to Kevin…Done and pictures added.
I received a call from Lisa this morning asking if I could help her locate her gold diamond ring which she had lost yesterday while picking vegetables from her garden.
When I met Lisa she told me that she had searched for three hours along with her husband last night, They had also used a metal detector in the search but could not find the ring. I told Lisa that most probably they had buried the ring even deeper into the ground while looking for it. Within five minutes I located her ring buried five inches deep in ground. Lisa was very happy to have her ring back on her finger.
Thank you Lisa for entrusting me to find your ring.

I received a call from Judy who was very upset about losing her wedding ring. She had been traveling from Minneapolis down to a wedding at a winery near Dubuque Iowa. She wasn’t sure where or how it was lost but it wasn’t in her car. They had made several stops along the way. She did send me a picture of where they were parked at the winery on a gravel lot. So I went on Friday to search for it.
After eliminating one area she stopped at I went on to the winery. Using the picture she sent me I started a grid search of the area. On the third pass I caught a glint of something shiny on the ground, going over it with the detector It sounded off. Yes it was her ring!
I was very happy to make that call to her and she was over the moon to receive it. Thanks Judy for the very nice reward.
