Ed called me last week about a lost ring that he believed had occurred at his worksite. Ed runs a drilling company and it was while he was fixing one of the rigs he believed that his ring had fallen off. He asked me if I could help find his ring and of course I said I would. The only issue I had was that his worksite was littered with pieces of scrap metal as he and his team are constantly fabricating materials as they fix and prepare the drilling rigs. I told him I would bring my magnet sweeper so we could pull as much of the junk metal out of the search areas.

I met him today at the site and Ed explained where he thought the ring had gone missing. The only thing that made sense is that the ring had come off and he had to have stepped on it and smashed it into the dirt because the material was a combination of dirt and road base. While Ed was sweeping the area for junk metal I got about detecting it. I began to grid the area going slowly so as not miss anything but to also let my Minelab Manticore do it’s job of separating targets. After about 5 minutes I got a nice solid tone just below the surface and I took my pinpointer and located the target and began to scrape away the dirt and when I did Ed’s ring appeared!

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.

I got a call Wednesday afternoon from Valerie who was was vacationing in the Los Angles area from Taos New Mexico. Her family was spending the day at Zuma Beach when her husband Steve accidentally dropped his platinum wedding ring. He had taken it off to put sunscreen on his face and he placed it in his lap while he was sitting for safe keeping. As it often happens, Steve forgot about his ring and went about enjoying the water and the sun. When he realized what had happened they all kind of panicked and began frantically sifting through the sand. After no luck Valerie turned to the internet and found Dave The RingFinder and gave me a call.

They shared that I was coming to the folks nearby who were helping in the search and they said they knew of me from a viral Instagram video from last year where I found a local rap artists gold grill in the ocean. They felt confident that the ring would be coming back to Taos with them. I got there and got the story and began to grid out the area and on my first pass got the sound and ID I was looking for on my Minelab Manticore and scooped up Steve’s ring! Another win for Dave The RingFinder at Zuma Beach in Malibu!

I got a text Sunday afternoon from Chris who had been visiting from Texas and while vacationing at Silver Strand Beach in Oxnard had lost his wedding ring boogie boarding. Evidently he had just caught a sweet wave and got up to wave at this his family and off came his wedding ring into the surf. Thinking he still had a chance to find it he went out the next morning and searched the beach at low tide and came away empty handed. Chris shared his situation with a passer by on the beach and he suggested he find a guy who uses a metal detector and that he had heard of a guy who finds rings for people. He went home and found Dave The RingFinder on Chat GPT! Unfortunately Chris and his family had left Oxnard to visit family in Bakersfield and wouldn’t be returning so I was on my own. I explained to Chris that the only low tide decent enough in this cycle was the next morning at 6am and that I would go then. He gave me the area and unfortunately it was about 75 yards long by 25 wide so I had to move fast.

I got to the beach and began to move in and out of the water gridding perpendicular to the ocean. I had gone almost the entire distance south that he had mentioned when I decided to make a couple more passes before turning north to search. I had only dug two targets in that first hour so I began to theorize that most objects were buried deep. That being said on the next pass I got a solid 41 on the Minelab Manticore in about 6 inches of water and I began to scoop. And there it was, Chris’s wedding ring! It was going back to Texas after all!

I told her I would get out there that evening and if her ring was there I would find it.

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.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered at Port Hueneme Beach — Against the Clock

Metal detecting ring recovery — Port Hueneme, Oxnard, and Ventura County beaches

Late Sunday evening Dave got a call from Maclovio, who had lost his wedding ring somewhere on the beach at Port Hueneme — between the pier and the lifeguard tower to the north. The challenge was immediate and two-fold: that stretch of Port Hueneme Beach covers a lot of sand, and the only window Dave had to search was 4:30am — he had to be at work by 7am. Port Hueneme is a 45-minute drive, which left just 90 minutes on the beach before he had to leave.

Maclovio had sent Dave a pin and a photo of the skyline looking back toward the condos. He remembered being at the top of the slope near a trash can — but that was the only landmark he had.

Dave arrived in the dark and spent the first half hour working the area methodically, pulling quarters and dimes but no ring. When the sun came up he looked at Maclovio’s photo again and realized something critical — Maclovio had pointed him to the wrong trash can. The actual loss location was further down the beach.

With only 15 minutes left before he had to walk back to the car, Dave raced to the spot that made the most sense — and found a tide pool that had formed overnight, complicating the search further. He worked as fast as he could, systematically covering the area, but the clock was running out.

With three minutes left Dave stopped, bowed his head, and asked God to show him where the ring was.

He moved to the edge of the tide pool and made one more pass. A sweet tone rang through his headphones. He drove his scoop into the sand, lifted it, shook it out — and there was Maclovio’s wedding ring.

He raced to his car, sent Maclovio a photo, and got the confirmation back immediately — it was his ring. Another Port Hueneme beach recovery complete.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered at Mondo’s Beach, Ventura CA

Professional metal detecting ring recovery — Ventura County beaches, shallow water, yards & parks

Ben had been swimming at Mondo’s Beach in Ventura when he realized his wedding ring — there when he went in — was gone when he got out. He was chest-deep when it slipped off, with a 3.0 tide pushing everything 40 to 50 feet out into the Pacific. He reached out to Dave The RingFinder, Ventura’s go-to metal detecting recovery expert.

Ocean water recoveries on Ventura County beaches are some of the toughest searches there are. Cold Pacific water, shifting sand, unpredictable waves, and tidal movement all work against you. Experience and timing are everything. No metal detector rental and a YouTube tutorial is going to prepare you for a Pacific Ocean ring search at 4:30 in the morning.

Dave studied the tide charts and identified Sunday morning at 4:45am as the optimal low-tide window — the best chance for a successful recovery at Mondo’s Beach in Ventura. He was in the water by 4:30am under a full moon with his professional metal detecting equipment, working through 2 to 3 foot surf. Every wave pushed him around. Target after target came up as trash. The search was hard.

Then Dave did what he always does — he said a prayer and trusted his instincts. He shifted his search north and on the second pass in waist-deep water, he got the tone and number he’d been waiting for. He let the waves recede, drove his scoop into the sand, shook it out — and there was Ben’s gold wedding ring. It was going home.
