If you have lost your grandmother’s ring or your wedding ring call or text Santa Barbara and Ventura County’s metal detection expert Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009. Don’t wait because time, the tides, lawnmowers and even other detectorists are not on your side.

I got a call from a nice young lady named Glory who after weekend classes at Pacifica Graduate Institute was unwinding with friends and playing some volleyball in the grass when a spike sent her grandmother’s ring flying off her finger somewhere into the grass. She along with her friends had spent hours looking for it but couldn’t find it so they took to the internet and found metal detection expert Dave MacDonald and set up a time for me to come out.

I couldn’t get up there the same day so I promised Glory I would get there at sun up the next day. She was a little nervous because she needed to go back home to Berkeley but I assured her that once I found it I would promptly mail it back to her. The sun was just coming up when I arrived in the hills of Summerland and I met the security guard on campus and coordinated a grid pattern to make sure I would get my Minelab Manticore coil over the ring. After three passes I got a high hit on the manticore and I pulled out my pinpointer to verify a surface target and after pulling the grass apart there sat embedded in the grass a beautiful old 24k gold ring.

I showed the security guard the ring and we concluded it had to be the one and I took a photo of it and sent it to Glory. As we figured it was her grandmother’s ring, now on it’s way back home where it belongs.

If you too have lost a ring, necklace, pendant or bracelet do what Glory did, call or text the metal detection expert in Santa Barbara and Ventura county Dave MacDonald at 805-290-5009 so we can make a plan to get your jewelry back to you. Don’t waste time trying to buy or rent a metal detector, just call the metal detection expert at 805-290-5009 so you can get back what was lost.

I got a call last evening from Sachin explaining that while trying to safeguard and protect his wedding ring he had lost it in the dry sand at East beach in Santa Barbara. Sachin was going to go for a jog and decided to put his ring safely away in his wallet and then he accidentally sent it flying into the dry sand. Instead of calling his bride (only married for a month!) he did the right thing and called expert metal detectorist Dave Mac Donald first in order to get his ring back.

I got out there right away and met Sachin at the beach next to the bike path. He walked me out to the area he thought he was and even though it was nearly dark I was able to swing my way over his platinum wedding ring with my Minelab Manticore and in a minute or two I had his ring in my CKG scoop!

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!

On late Sunday afternoon I got a frantic call from Julia who wanted to know if I could help recover wedding ring set that she had accidentally lost in the sand at East Beach in Santa Barbara. I assured her we could find them and I made my way to Santa Barbara. East Beach is a popular destination for folks looking to enjoy warm breezes and calm waters and Julia and her husband Robert were there to spend the day enjoying all that Santa Barbara beaches have to offer. Unfortunately in an attempt to protect her rings Julia had taken them off and placed them in her shorts pocket while she went for a swim. When she was finished swimming she had put her shorts on again and then went to get her rings out of the pocket and they were gone!

She showed me the location where they were at and I began to grid the area and in a minute or two I got the first great tone on my Minelab Manticore and I pushed my CKG scoop into the sand and out came Julia’s beautiful engagement ring. Another swing or two later of the Manticore and her wedding ring was in my CKG scoop safe and secure.

Lost Wedding Ring Recovered at Low Tide on Ledbetter Beach Santa Barbara

If you accidentally lost your wedding ring at the beach or in your backyard call or text Dave Mac Donald, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties #1 ring recovery specialist at 805-290-5009 so you can get what you lost back to you ASAP.

Vacationing in Santa Barbara is a dream for most folks and it was for Kate and Dominick of England until a toss of the football in the water caused his platinum wedding ring to fling into the ocean. Two hours of frantic searching, and borrowing a metal detector led them to frustration and the belief that his wedding ring of 19 years was gone forever.  It was until a local facebook group recommended metal detecting expert Dave Mac Donald of the Ringfinders to find Dom’s ring.

Kate contacted Dave Tuesday morning and explained the time it was lost (on Sunday) and the general vicinity of where Dom had made the fateful throw. Dave explained that he needed to get out there at low tide which wasn’t going to low enough until Wednesday morning at 4:30am. He assured Kate that if it was out there he would find it. The family was leaving Santa Barbara that Tuesday so all Kate could do was drop a pin on the map and leave it up to the metal detecting master to recover the ring.

Dave got out there at 4:30am and using the pin location began to grid up and down to the waters edge taking advantage of the 0.7 low tide. After digging a bunch trash for a half hour, Dave got a clean signal on his Minelab Manticore right at the water’s edge and scooped the target out. It was pitch black out so he turned on his headlamp and began to shake the wet sand out and heard that familiar clanking noise. He reached in and there was a heavy platinum wedding ring. Dave sent pictures off to Kate for confirmation that it was Dom’s ring as he had to leave to go recover a lost silver necklace at Carpinteria State Beach.  The chances of a second lost platinum ring in the same location left Dave pretty confident he had recovered the right ring.

An hour later Kate texted and asked if her name was inscribed on the inside of the ring and a quick glance (the sun was up now) proved it was and the right ring was soon to be going back to the right owner and back to England where it belonged.

Remember time is not on your side when your ring goes missing! Call or text Dave the Ringfinder 805-290-5009 so he can help you get your ring back.
