I got a call today from Charlie who was in town for a wedding in Santa Barbara with his wife. They were from Columbus Ohio so being that there are no beaches there everyone in the wedding was playing in the water at East Beach. Charlie was playing football in the water when he felt his wedding ring slip off his finger. He was waste deep and even though he swiped and searched his ring was gone. So Charlie did the only thing he could do, he called Dave The RingFinder to get his wedding ring back.

I checked the tides and as luck would have it we had 2 hours until low tide so now was the time to get in the water and find Charlie’s ring. After sitting in traffic for nearly all of those two hours thanks to Cal Trans constant freeway fixes, I finally met Charlie in the parking lot and together we went into the water. Charlie had been all over the area playing catch and diving into waves so I knew I just had to be patient and grid slowly as I always do. After a couple trash targets I moved a little closer to shore and started to grid parallel to the shore when I got a 22 on my Minelab Manticore. I was waist deep so getting my scoop in behind the waves took me a minute but I was finally able to scoop the target out.

It took me minute to sift through the rocks and when I did I saw the beautiful white gold men’s wedding band in the bottom of the scoop. I looked over at Charlie and nodded that I had his ring. He ran up on me, saw his ring and bear hugged me in the water. Another vacation to Santa Barbara saved by Dave The RingFinder! We got back to my car and I got to pray over Charlie and his ring and we thanked God for helping lead us to the ring because finding a ring in the ocean requires a lot of help from above!

It was a lazy Sunday afternoon until it wasn’t. I got a call from Christian who was leaving Santa Barbara to go back home to Golden Colorado. On the last day of his families vacation he had been digging in the sand on north side of the pier at West Beach in Santa Barbara when he discovered his Platinum wedding band was gone. They tried frantically to search in the sand but platinum rings are heavy and every push of the sand just served to bury it further out of reach. He realized that they needed to get to the airport so they didn’t miss their flight so he did the only thing he could do, he called Dave The RingFinder.

Christian dropped me a pin in the general area and I told him I would get up there that afternoon and get his ring back. I got to the area and began to scan for where you could see where folks had been gathering. Fortunately in their quest to find the ring they had left a perfect scene of the crime and I could tell exactly where they had been searching. I started on the outside of the area and sure enough I got a solid tone on my Minelab Manticore and two scoops later I had Christian’s ring back. He was just a few minutes from take-off when I texted him the good news. Another ring saved by Dave The RingFinder!

Lost Rings found at the Bluffs beach at UC Santa Barbara by Dave The RingFinder

I got a late night call from Lena, a student at UCSB. She had been out for a walk on the beach below the bluffs in the evening when she noticed her two rings were missing off her fingers. She was sure she had them the hour prior so the hunt was on but it was dark, the tide was coming up and she needed someone who was good at using a metal detector. So she did the only thing she could, she called Dave The RingFinder.

Since it was late I told her I would get out there first thing in the morning and recover the rings. She had a general idea of the location so she sent me a pin and as the sun was coming up in Santa Barbara, I was on the campus of UCSB walking down the stairs to the beach. The beach here is not very wide and much of what was dry sand the evening before was now wet sand. I began to grid the area. After covering the area she thought they might be in I expanded my search. I knew that they would likely be near one another so I was listening for two beeps instead of one. On my second pass I got the sounds I had been waiting for. 3 scoops, two rings! Another recovery for Dave The RingFinder!

I got a late text last week from Aramis — he had lost a very special and important ring the evening before at Carpinteria State Beach. He had a general idea of where the loss had occurred, so I headed out hoping for an easy recovery. When I got to the beach it was packed! We’ve been much warmer than normal the past week, so everyone who could get out to the beach in Carpinteria had done just that. An easy recovery just became a lot more difficult.

Aramis mentioned the area was by a hole dug in the sand. Unfortunately, this stretch of beach had about 8 holes, and next to each one were kids playing. He mentioned something incredibly important, though — a purple towel that had been left behind in the sand, and he really thought it was near there. After zig-zagging around people for an hour, I got to my last hole, and wouldn’t you know it, buried in the sand and barely visible was a purple towel. Two minutes later I got a great-sounding tone on my Minelab Manticore, and I scooped up Aramis’s ring! Another ring recovery in the sand by Dave The RingFinder!

Lost Gold Bracelet found at Avila Beach CA by Dave The RingFinder

I got a call Saturday afternoon from Eduardo who was calling to see if I could help him retrieve a very important bracelet from the water at Avila Beach. As fate would have it, my wife and I were heading up that way the next day for a two day trip so I told him I would come and look for it either Sunday afternoon or early Monday morning depending on which low tide was best. It had been lost about 25 yards off shore but the beach at Avila is a long flat beach so I knew if the tide was low I could walk out in knee high water for quite a ways so I knew I had a shot at it.

Early Monday was the best so I hit the beach at 5:30am hoping no other detectorists would be out searching at that time and I had the beach to myself. My only directions were he had lost it between the two light poles on the pier (about 200 feet) and around 200-400 feet north of the pier. With a huge search area I decided to divide the beach up into quadrants and begin gridding the water. Even though El Niño has warmed the waters he seemed to have skipped Avila as it was cold and I was freezing but I had a bracelet to find! After about a half hour I finally got a 6-7 on the Minelab Manticore which is perfect for gold bracelets and so I waited for the wave to pass, sent in my CKG scoop and pulled out a scoop full of sand crabs and one very important gold bracelet!

This wasn’t just any gold bracelet but a family heirloom. It had been given to Eduardo’s son years ago from his late Uncle who had passed 30 years ago. It’s a great reminder that it isn’t always just a gold bracelet or ring but rather a daily reminder of someone who is no longer with us. Every recovery is special even if I have to get soaked and frozen before the sun comes up.

A Swiss Visitor’s Engagement Ring, Recovered Near the Santa Barbara Pier

Late last Saturday night I got an urgent phone call from a number listed from Switzerland. It was from Irina, who had been visiting Santa Barbara on holiday from Switzerland and had lost her engagement ring near the Santa Barbara Pier. I told her I would get out there Sunday afternoon, as I had another ring to look for in the morning.

I convinced my wife she should come to the beach in SB with me, so we got out to the Pier and it was packed with visitors, as was Cabrillo Blvd, since there was a street fair going on at Chase Palm Park. With people everywhere, it was going to be a fun search. Thankfully, the area where she thought she’d lost it was on the north side of the pier and it’s usually not very crowded, so I got to work and began a grid parallel to the pier. There were coins everywhere, so I knew no one had detected this area in a long time — I was confident no one had beat me to Irina’s ring. On my second pass, I got a nice low hit on my Minelab Manticore, and in my scoop was a beautiful white gold engagement ring. I sent her a picture to confirm it was hers, and the response was an enthusiastic yes!

Irina had already left the area and was now in Newport Beach, so I got her address, insured her ring, and mailed it to her. Two days later, her ring was back where it belonged. This is what Irina had to say:

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about this experience! I lost my ring while I was in Santa Barbara and was so upset and worried that I would never see it again. I called Dave, and he came to the rescue! He was incredibly kind, professional, and determined to help me find it, and he actually DID!

What made the whole experience even more amazing was that his wife and him went the extra mile and shipped the ring back to me. I am beyond grateful for their kindness, honesty, and generosity.

This wasn’t just about finding a lost ring; it was about two wonderful people who genuinely cared and went above and beyond to help a stranger. I will never forget their kindness. If you ever lose something precious, I highly recommend Dave. Truly an amazing story and an amazing couple! ❤️?”

I got a call yesterday evening from Ashley who had lost her wedding ring at East Beach in Santa Barbara. As what usually happens, she had given her mom her rings so she could go for a swim and not have to worry about losing them. Unfortunately her sweet mom forgot she had them and got up and during the course of her afternoon lost both the rings. Thankfully she was able to find the larger engagement ring but the wedding band remained elusive.

I got to the beach a little later and got to work in the area she thought it might have been lost. After several passes I expanded my grid and a few minutes later I got a solid 10 on my Minelab Manticore and there was Ashley’s wedding band in my scoop!

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!

I got a text yesterday afternoon from Denise. She was in a bit of a panic because she had just lost her wedding ring of 40 years at Mondos while she was swimming in the ocean. She was able to give me the exact time of 1:20pm because in her words, she just felt it slip right off in about 6 feet of water while she was swimming. The tide at that time was around a 2.5 so I checked the tides and I had one chance to recover the ring if I could get far enough out in the water and that was at 3:45am the next day.

There were several things stacked against me. She didn’t know exactly how far out she was, there was absolutely no moonlight whatsoever and the beach at Mondo’s has been inundated with seaweed both in the water and on the sand so this was going to be a miracle. So I prayed and got to Mondo’s at 3:30 this morning. With the tide being a -1.3 I was able to get pretty far out but unfortunately not far enough as the ring was further out than I had hoped. I slowly started working my way out and when I was nearly waste deep I finally got a target that made sense. In between waves I positioned my scoop behind my Minelab manticore and dug. Instead of getting it though the waves had caused me to push the target away rather than in my scoop. I steadied myself again, waited for the wave to pass and scooped and this time I had Denise’s ring! Dave The RingFinder with another ring recovery this time in the ocean!

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!
