Ring lost at Mission Beach Found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

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.

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.

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

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)
Contact:

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.

Diamond Platinum Ring Lost On Beach Found By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)
Contact:

Emerald Isle, NC

JoEllen was spending time with her parents sitting on the Emerald Isle beach along the shoreline.  They were sitting down by the water so they could put their feet in the waves.  She had explained to me she had taken off her very special ring and placed it in her glasses case prior to going to the beach.  While on the beach, she decided to put on her glasses and forgot the ring was also in the case.  It wasn’t until the next morning she had realized the ring was missing and she called Crystal Coast Ring Finders.  The beach sand was very soft and very little items were found during the search.  Her ring was eventually found under about 12 inches of sand.  This was a very challenging search but when you can successfully return an important item to the owner, it makes it worth the effort!

Family heirloom ring lost at Coronado beach found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Donna was visiting here from AZ, and while enjoying a day at the beach in Coronado yesterday, lost her family heirloom gold and platinum wedding ring in the sand. She had removed her ring to apply lotion, and placed it in her chair pocket. The Chair later got folded…….and well you’ve already have heard that story before! She and friends searched to no avail. She even went out and bought an inexpensive metal detector to conduct her own search, but, after an afternoon/evening thunderstorm that blew through the area making the previously dry sand wet again, the detector just didn’t do the job under those conditions. When my wife and I arrived, we met Donna, got the story, and I was shown the search area they had marked off. That always helps to have a known spot verified by photos taken the previous day. First pass, got a foil signal and that’s exactly what it was. Return pass, same story. Just starting the third pass, and I get a nice strong 16 on my Equinox. I said that this sounds like a winner, and sure enough, after locating it with my pin pointer, I pulled this beautiful ring out of it’s hiding place. Donna was super happy to get this historic ring back before having to leave town on Monday. A pleasure to meet you Donna, and thank you for the generous reward.

Lost White Gold Wedding Ring At Cape Henlopen State Park Lewes Delaware Found

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 06/20/2021, I received a call from Sharis girlfriend regarding the loss of her white gold wedding ring at the beach at Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes Delaware. I agreed to meet Sharis husband, Joseph at the beach so that I could attempt to locate her ring. Upon making contact with Joseph at the beach he told me that his wife had first thought that she had lost her ring in the trash at the hotel where they had been staying on vacation but that they were unable to find the ring in the trash so they felt that the ring had been lost somewhere on the beach. Joseph said that his wife had been out in the water and that she had also been sitting in a beach chair at the edge of the water. I decided to first search the area at the edge of the water where Shari had been sitting, I started a grid search and upon making a second pass I was able to locate the lost ring sitting in the wet sand at the edge of the water. The ring was recovered and returned to Joseph so that he could give it back to Shari. Joseph told me that the ring was very special because it was their original engagement ring that had two other rings soldered to it. Joseph said that the two rings that were soldered to the engagement ring had been given to his wife Shari by her mother six years ago and that Sharis mother had passed away in January of 2021.

Ring lost in the bushes found

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Dayanne was walking her dog in her apartment complex, when a simple body turn to look behind her, made her gold ring fly off her finger and into some thick bushes that line the walkway (as you can see in the photo). She actually saw the spot where the ring went into the bushes, but, even after clipping away some of the leaves and branches to get access it still couldn’t be located. I initially started with a large coil to hopefully get the depth I needed to locate the ring deep inside, but, it became apparent immediately that another method was needed. I instead put on the 6″ coil and rechecked the area where I could get deeper down inside the bush. I got a nice 15 signal on my Equinox, smiled, and pulled out my pin pointer to poke down into the bowels of this sticker bush. Carefully reaching inside and locating the signal with the pin pointer, I zeroed in on the target. Even so, it was still invisible and took 3 tries to grab it in the dead leaves at the base of the bush. A happy Dayanne put the ring back on her finger. A pleasure to meet you, and thank you for the reward.

Lost Mens Platinum Wedding Band On The Beach In Lewes, Delaware Found

  • from Lewes (Delaware, United States)
Contact:

On 06/16/2021, I was contacted by Joe in regards to his Platinum Wedding Band that he had lost on the beach at Cape Shores Development in Lewes, Delaware. Joe request my help in finding his lost ring. Upon contacting Joe at the beach he showed me two areas that he had been sitting when the ring was lost. I began a grid search of the first area and I was unable to locate the ring. Joe had chairs and an umbrella on the sand in the second area that I was to search so I requested that he move the items so that I could begin my search. While the chairs and umbrella were being moved I walked over to a corner of the area where I had decided that I would begin my search. Joe was still moving the items out of my way so I laid the coil of my detector on the sand at which time I heard a tone in my headset. I scooped up the sand from where I received the tone and low and behold there was Joes lost ring. I called out to Joe and told him that he did not need to remove anymore of his beach items because his ring had been found. The ring was then returned to its rightful owner.
