Lost Wedding Ring found at East Beach Santa Barbara

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

If you have lost your ring, necklace, pendant or bracelet in the sand, the water, the yard or field don’t wait call or text Ventura and Santa Barbara’s Ringfinder Dave Mac Donald at 805-290-5009 so he can make a plan to get your lost Jewelry back!

I got a call late Monday night from Dyana wanting to know if I could get out to East Beach in Santa Barbara to recover her husband Richard’s wedding band. Evidently he had lost it while trying to protect it as often happens. He had placed it in the cupholder of his chair when he went for a swim and forgot it was in there when he packed up the chair to go back to the Hilton across the street. The ring flew out of the cupholder and was lost in the dry sand.

East Beach gets detected quite frequently so I knew I needed to get out there ASAP and I agreed to meet them a little after 6am the next day. Upon arrival we met at the beach and Dyana gave me the area she thought they had been in and I began a grid search of the area. The beach had been groomed already and I was a bit concerned that the sand sweeper or someone else had gotten it as the sand was quiet. All of sudden I got a nice tone on my Minelab Manticore and a quick scoop of my CKG sand scoop and I had the ring in my possession.

Needless to say Dyana was relieved! They had been married for one year exactly and Richard had lost his ring on their one year anniversary!

If you lose your ring in the sand don’t wast time renting or buying a metal detector. Call or text metal detecting expert Dave Mac Donald at 805-290-5009 so just like Dyana, you too can get your ring back!

Gold Bracelet recovered in Summerland CA.

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)

 

I got a call the week before Christmas to see if I could locate a very expensive gold bracelet that had been lost during a boutique gathering at a popular shop in Summerland. The bracelet was lost during the evening and wasn’t inventoried until the next day. Unfortunately, the grounds it was lost on are covered in loose gravel that is raked every day before the business opening. To further compound the problem, the greater Santa Barbara area had experienced 3 days of pounding rain which had caused flooding throughout the area and had turned the gravel area into a muddy gravel area.

Since this was a business with hundreds of items for sale I would rely more on my pinpointer and I began the process of moving on my hands and knees slowly dragging the pinpointer in the muddy gravel. With no discrimination, I was finding every bit of metal in the ground and gravel but I finally got a strong signal and dug down into the gravel and out of the mud came this beautiful gold bracelet with diamonds. Mission accomplished!

I was able to make the return to the store owner who then contacted the vendor to tell her of the good news that the gold bracelet was found and would be returned. If you happen to loose a ring, bracelet or other piece of jewelry do what they did and contact me, Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009 so we can get your keepsake back where it belongs.
