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.

I recently got a call from Glory, a young woman unwinding after weekend classes at Pacifica Graduate Institute near Santa Barbara. She’d been playing volleyball with friends on a grassy field when a powerful spike sent her grandmother’s ring soaring off her finger into the grass. Glory and her friends searched for hours in the Montecito-area hills, but the ring stayed hidden. Desperate, they turned to the internet and found me—Dave MacDonald, the local metal detection specialist—and set up a time for me to help.
I couldn’t make it that day, but I promised Glory I’d arrive at sunrise the next morning. She was nervous about heading back to Berkeley before the search, so I reassured her I’d mail the ring to her once found. At dawn, I arrived in Summerland—just minutes from Carpinteria and Montecito—met the campus security guard, and mapped out a grid pattern to scan with my Minelab Manticore. After three careful passes, I got a sharp high tone. Using my pinpointer, I confirmed a surface target, parted the grass, and there it was: a stunning 24k gold ring nestled in the green.
I showed it to the guard, and we agreed it matched Glory’s description. I snapped a photo, texted it to her, and confirmed it was her grandmother’s ring. Now, it’s safely on its way back to Berkeley, where it belongs!

 Lost Jewelry? How I Found a Gold Bracelet in Summerland, CA
If you’ve lost a ring or bracelet in Summerland or Montecito, CA, don’t despair! As an expert ring finder, I’ve recovered precious jewelry in even the toughest conditions. Here’s a story of how I located a valuable gold bracelet lost at The Well, a popular boutique in Summerland.
Just before Christmas, I received a call to find an expensive gold bracelet with diamonds lost during an evening event at The Well. The loss wasn’t noticed until the next day’s inventory, and the search was complicated by the boutique’s loose gravel grounds, raked daily before opening. To make matters worse, three days of heavy rain had flooded the greater Santa Barbara area, turning the gravel into a muddy mess.
With hundreds of items for sale at this busy Summerland shop, I knew my metal detector’s discrimination wouldn’t be enough. Instead, I relied on my trusty pinpointer, painstakingly searching the muddy gravel on hands and knees. Despite picking up every piece of metal in the ground, my persistence paid off. A strong signal led me to dig into the muck, and up came the stunning gold bracelet, diamonds intact!
I happily returned the bracelet to the store owner, who shared the good news with the relieved vendor. Another successful recovery in Summerland, CA!
