Lost wedding ring found on the Soccer Field at West Ranch HS in Valencia
Lost Your Ring in Santa Clarita? How Dave MacDonald, Metal Detecting Expert, Saved Raul’s Wedding Ring

Yesterday afternoon, I received an urgent call from Raul, a Valencia resident who had lost his wedding ring at West Ranch High School. Raul plays in a competitive men’s soccer league every Sunday on the school’s grassy field. Usually, his focus is on winning the game, but this time, victory took a backseat—he just wanted his precious wedding ring back. He explained that he’d removed the ring for safekeeping, placing it in or on his bag, only to discover it missing an hour later.
Raul suspected the ring was lost somewhere between two points on the field—a sprawling 200-yard stretch of grass in Valencia. That’s a big area to cover, so I knew I’d need to bring my A-game as Santa Clarita’s trusted metal detecting expert. We arranged to meet on Monday at 3:30 PM, after the school day ended and the field cleared out. Raul and his friend had bought a couple of cheap metal detectors the day before, hoping to find it themselves. I advised him to return them—when it comes to finding lost rings in Santa Clarita, Valencia, Castaic, or Canyon Country, Dave The RingFinder is the name you can trust.
The Search Begins with Dave The RingFinder
We started at the endpoint near where we parked, retracing Raul’s steps from Sunday. I worked slowly and methodically, ensuring no patch of grass was overlooked. Fortunately, the West Ranch HS field in Valencia had minimal trash, so my metal detector stayed quiet—perfect conditions for a focused search. As we progressed, though, time dragged on, and the remaining field shrank. I started to worry: had someone picked up the ring, or worse, had a mower flung it hundreds of feet away, lost forever?
Halfway through, I suggested a new strategy—let’s head to where Raul had originally been on the field and start fresh. He marked off a 30’x30’ area, and I began gridding it out like the metal detecting pro I am, while Raul searched nearby. I dug up 20-30 quarters and dimes—typical finds on a school field—but no gold yet. Doubt crept in. Then, my detector let out a double beep, a low tone that could mean a gold ring… or just another pull-tab. I held my breath, dug down, and there it was—Raul’s wedding ring, gleaming in the grass!
Another Happy Ending Thanks to Dave MacDonald
Raul’s relief was instant—he was out of the doghouse, and his ring was back where it belonged. As I like to say, “God is good!” Another lost ring recovered, right here in Valencia.
