I got a text yesterday afternoon from Denise. She was in a bit of a panic because she had just lost her wedding ring of 40 years at Mondos while she was swimming in the ocean. She was able to give me the exact time of 1:20pm because in her words, she just felt it slip right off in about 6 feet of water while she was swimming. The tide at that time was around a 2.5 so I checked the tides and I had one chance to recover the ring if I could get far enough out in the water and that was at 3:45am the next day.

There were several things stacked against me. She didn’t know exactly how far out she was, there was absolutely no moonlight whatsoever and the beach at Mondo’s has been inundated with seaweed both in the water and on the sand so this was going to be a miracle. So I prayed and got to Mondo’s at 3:30 this morning. With the tide being a -1.3 I was able to get pretty far out but unfortunately not far enough as the ring was further out than I had hoped. I slowly started working my way out and when I was nearly waste deep I finally got a target that made sense. In between waves I positioned my scoop behind my Minelab manticore and dug. Instead of getting it though the waves had caused me to push the target away rather than in my scoop. I steadied myself again, waited for the wave to pass and scooped and this time I had Denise’s ring! Dave The RingFinder with another ring recovery this time in the ocean!

Yesterday afternoon I got  call from Ross explaining that his wife had lost her wedding ring at the beach in the Pierpont area of Ventura. She had been brushing off some sand and in doing so her ring flew off to an unknown stretch of sand. I was out of town at that moment so I told Ross I would get out there at sun up Monday morning and recover the ring for them. He sent me a pin of the general location and I assured him that if it was there I would find the ring.

As stated I got out there just before the sunrise and started working the area gridding and expanding as I went. Jen met me out there and we determined that I should move a bit south and grid there. After several passes we expanded the zone and then on the next pass I got a sweet tone on my Minelab Manticore that told me a ring recovery was imminent and sure enough in the scoop was Jen’s wedding ring! Another ring returned to it’s owner by Dave The RingFinder!

Lost Wedding Ring found and returned at ThorneHill Broome Beach in Malibu by Dave The RingFinder

Late last night I got a text from Steve who was camping at ThorneHill Broome Beach just north of Malibu. He and his wife had been stargazing on the sand when he went to get up and as he did his platinum ring fell off and buried itself in the dry sand. It was late, it was dark and searching was futile so Steve did the next best thing and searched the internet and found Dave The RingFinder. I messaged him back that I would be there bright and early the next morning and get his ring back to him so he could enjoy the rest of his camping stay.

I met Steve at 6:45am at the picnic table area where the loss occurred. The problem of finding his ring became apparent almost immediately in that picnic tables at beaches in Southern California are loaded with every bit of metal trash there is. Pull-tabs, rusty bottle caps, chunks of aluminum foil and items burned from fires long ago where all throughout the sand where the ring was lost. This was going to be hunt where I needed to eliminate as much trash as possible so I could actually hear his ring. Scoop after scoop of metal junk came out and finally I had the ability to listen for his ring and within a minute or two I got the sound I was looking for and Steve’s ring was in my scoop and going back to him! Another ring saved in Malibu by Dave The RingFinder.

Last night I got a call from a number from Hungary. I figured I was getting spammed so I let it go to voice mail. What it was though was a family from Hungary on a once in a lifetime vacation in the U.S. had been swimming in the ocean across from their Hotel Mar Monte in Santa Barbara. Violet had been standing knee deep at high tide when a sneaker wave came up and knocked her down and her wedding ring fell off into the surf. The other problem was they were leaving the next day (today at 11am) so I needed to get there fast and early. I hit the road at 4am so I could get out on East Beach at 5am. I got to the location and began a grid search from the slope down into the water. On my fourth pass I got the sound I had been looking for on my Minelab Manticore and after 3 scoops I could hear clanging in the scoop but I couldn’t see due to the darkness. I grabbed my phone and turned on the flashlight and there it was, Violet’s ring!

The whole family was pumped as the lost ring had seemingly put a damper on the entire vacation but thanks to Dave The RingFinder it was going back to Hungary.

Lost Wedding Ring recovered at Gaviota State Beach by Dave The RingFinder

I got a text late on July 3rd from Jen who was visiting the town of Goleta from Phoenix to visit family. They had made a trip up to Gaviota state beach and had been playing on the beach and in the water when Jen noticed her wedding ring was missing. She had been in 3 places while at the beach and she wasn’t sure which one was where it came off. One of these places was in the water as she had been playing with her kids in the shore break. She was concerned that her ring was lost for good as she and her family were leaving to go back to Phoenix in a few days and fortunately she found Dave The RingFinder after a quick search for lost ring recovery on Google.

I checked the tide table for when she lost it so I could see if the next low tide could help us out. There was a 0.0 at 7am so I told her I would head up there first thing in the morning. After leaving the house at 5:15am I arrived at just past 6:30am so I had an hour or so of search time before high tide started rolling back in. I went to the area she marked for me and began to grid perpendicular into the ocean. After about 20 minutes moving south I decided to try my luck going north and after about 10 minutes I finally got a signal that was worth digging on my Minelab Manticore. It took 3 scoops of my CKG scoop to remove it but when I sifted in the water Jen’s ring emerged from the sand! It was another shallow water ring recovery and another vacation saved by Dave The RingFinder.

Lost Wedding rings in the sand at Carpinteria State Beach found by Dave The RingFinder

I got a text last Wednesday from Diego who had been vacationing with his family at Carpinteria State Beach. In an effort to keep her rings safe his wife had taken them off while applying sunscreen on the kids and swimming. As almost always happen, the rings get forgotten and after cleaning up the area at the end of the day Monday they realized the rings were gone.

They dug frantically in the area but couldn’t come up with anything and they searched again the following day but no luck. They found Dave The RingFinder on the Internet and reached out. I was a bit concerned because Carpinteria State Beach gets detected pretty hard but I assured them that I would cover the entire area and if they were still there I would find them. They had already left to go back home from their vacation so I would be mailing these rings back if I found them.

I got out to the beach around 3:30pm and there were lot’s of folks enjoying the day and the area I had been given to search was a bit crowded but I figured I could work around them and I would wait until they left if I needed to. About 5 minutes in I was approached by one of the Lifeguards and he knew why I was there and he directed me to an area where they had been digging for the ring. Another 2 minutes and my Minelab Manticore identified ring number 1 and minute later my CKG scoop had picked up ring number 2.

I got a text last week from Glynnis who had been visiting Solimar Beach in Ventura with her family. When it came time to put sunscreen on her children she took off her wedding ring and engagement ring and placed them in her pocket for safekeeping. As is often the case she forgot that she had put them in there and after a couple of days realized her rings were gone. She began to retrace her steps and concluded they must have fallen out at the beach.

Glynnis gave me the general location and I headed out that afternoon to see if I could recover her rings. After about 15 minutes of searching I got a faint target on the Minelab manticore on the wet slope of the beach. I put my CKG scoop into the sand and out popped her wedding band. I figured I was in the area now and began slowly detecting the surrounding area but no other targets were there. The area does get detected frequently and I told Glynnis that either she lost it somewhere else or another detectorist picked up her engagement ring. Since she was out of town I told her I would mail her ring to her and that I would keep looking in that area just in case the other ring was buried too deep in the sand for now.

Here’s a real recent success story from Ventura Harbor:I received a call on Sunday afternoon from George, who was heartbroken after losing his wedding ring the day before at Ventura Harbor. His family had spent time in two spots: the grassy area between Island Packers and the restaurants, and the beach across the street. The ring vanished sometime that morning to afternoon.I headed out at sunrise to grid the northwest quadrant of the grass—where George thought it was most likely lost. After an hour and a half of careful searching and finding only loose change, the ring still hadn’t turned up. I called George for more details on the beach location, and he mentioned struggling to set up a canvas canopy by burying the poles in the sand. That’s when it clicked—the ring likely slipped off during that exact moment!
The beach stretched about 300 yards, but with George’s directions, I started sweeping the targeted area. Just 10 minutes in, my Minelab Manticore hit a solid signal. I dug with my CKG scoop—and out came George’s beautiful gold wedding ring! I called him immediately with the great news and arranged a quick drop-off at his house. Another successful lost ring recovery at Ventura Harbor Beach by Dave The RingFinder!
