Recently, while wrapping up a ring recovery at Silverstrand Beach, I received a text from Bob in Santa Barbara. He had lost his wedding ring while doing yard work in his backyard. After two days of searching with no luck, Bob’s wife suggested professional help. A quick search led them to Dave The Ringfinder on TheRingFinders.com.
We met at 9 AM in Bob’s Santa Barbara backyard. He walked me through the area where he’d been pulling weeds, suspecting the ring slipped off during the task. I began gridding the large lawn with my Minelab Manticore. Halfway through, my attention was drawn to a spot where Bob had tossed weeds. He’d already searched there, even pulling out plants, but found nothing. Trusting my instincts, I scanned the area and got a strong 49-50 TID signal. Expecting trash, I was surprised when my pinpointer beeped, and as I moved the dirt, a gold ring emerged! Bob had unknowingly stepped on his ring, burying it in the dirt while searching.
Thanks to Dave The Ringfinder and a bit of intuition, another ring was recovered!

Lost Ring Found in the woods

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

This nice lady lost her beautiful wedding ring in the woods across the street from her home. But she wasn’t sure where. I searched using a detector with a small coil so I could check in weeds, brush and around trees. It took about an hour to find it in some weeds it fell into, out of sight, next to a pine tree. The detector was telling me right where it was but I couldn’t see it. It had fallen down to soil level in a tight clump of weeds. She couldn’t believe I found if. I wa happy too because it could have been anywhere. It was quite different from a beach search.

Men’s Gold Wedding Band Lost While Swimming in Booneville, MS… FOUND!

Contact:

I received a call and text on Sunday (June 22nd, 2025) afternoon from Taylor stating he lost his wedding band while swimming in a pond on his family’s property in Booneville, Mississippi.  I was traveling for work training during the week and told Taylor that I would give him a call after I de-planed.  Taylor told me that he felt his wedding band slip off his finger in about 3-4 feet of water when he was about 10-15 yards from the shoreline.  He was helping his kids out of the deeper end.  I told him that I didn’t get back to Huntsville, AL until Friday, but I would be more than happy to conduct a search on the weekend.  We setup a 9am meetup time on Saturday, June 28th.

I met Taylor in Booneville after a beautiful drive 2 hour and 15-minute drive through the Alabama and Mississippi countryside.  He helped me take my water detecting gear down to the pond.  I got in the water and had Taylor direct me to where he thought his ring came off.  I put in my marker pole and went back to the shoreline for my Minelab Equinox 900 with the 15-inch coil and long handled Xtreme scoop.  Taylor went inside the house and I started searching in the water.

On my walk out to the marker pole I found a penny.  Then, when I was about 1-2 feet from the pole on the left side I received a nice sounding tone on my Nox.  It took about 5 tries until I could get the target in my scoop, because the water was up to my chin and I was slightly buoyant from my wetsuit bottoms.  The pond bottom was a soft mud.  Once I confirmed that I had the item in my scoop, I walked over to the shallow end to shake out the mud.  I soon saw a gold ring glimmering back up at me — we had Taylor’s wedding band!  I took out the ring just as Taylor’s mother-in-law, Jenny and Taylor’s wife, Brooke we’re walking outside.  Taylor followed behind.  I held it up for them to see and we all cheered!  I looked up to the sky and said, “thank you, God!”

I walked to the shoreline to hand Taylor his ring and the family dog, Loki was there to greet me and celebrate.  Taylor and his family were so grateful for the help and told me how much it meant to them.  Taylor and Brooke had just gotten married on November 16th.  I told them that helping others and seeing the joyful reactions is the reason why I do this.  I give God all the glory.

Taylor invited me in for some coffee and Jenny offered some delicious homemade breakfast – biscuits and gravy (what I wanted all week lol), eggs, and a porkchop.  I graciously accepted.  Jenny’s husband, Darryl had just arrived home and we all enjoyed a nice conversation.  We then said our good-byes and I was back on the road headed home to Huntsville.  Until the next one… please take care and God bless!

Sara’s engagement ring recovered

  • from Orange Beach (Alabama, United States)
Contact:

Sara was vacationing at Ft. Walton Beach Florida when she lost her wedding rings. She was able to find the wedding band but not the engagement ring. She had returned home to Illinois when she called asking if I could find her lost ring. She sent me an aerial with an outline of the area she lost it and a photo of her engagement ring. The next morning i searched the area and found her ring within 8 or 10 feet of where she predicted but was 5 or 6 inches deep. The next day Sara and I did a face time call with the folks at my local UPS store and sent her ring home secure, insured and with in person delivery. Sara was very happy her ring is back where it belongs!

Lost platinum engagement ring, recovered, Lake Wawasee, IN

  • from Granger (Indiana, United States)
Contact:

Earl called a couple days ago from the lake, after his fiancé had lost her platinum engagement ring while at the sandbar. I asvised him to mark the location via map apps, take several pictures of shoreline (homes, piers, etc) to allow lining up land marks and also try to get a distant object if possible, to add accuracy to lining up with a nearby landmark or roof ridge etc. Also told him to toss out several coins if he had any available, as any other marker would be taken by others. I had to work, so couldn’t go out that same day to search. Was somewhat worried a local pirate may find the ring prior to recovery search. Got out today, used gps pin to anchor, used distant cell tower and near flagpole to get the exact line the coins would be in. I turned detector on, dug one target and dumped that in the floating sifter, couldn’t see any ring. Scooped the next target and saw a nice ring in the scoop, less than two minutes in. Told him I found it and he was amazed, as was I, but just goes to show, his diligence in taking the advice paid off to get it recovered. Smiles all around, ring back where it belongs.

Lost Wedding Ring in the dry sand found at Silverstrand Beach in Oxnard CA by Dave The RingFinder

Lost Ring Recovery on Oxnard, Ventura, Carpinteria, Malibu, and Santa Barbara Beaches
On the evening of July 4th, the beaches of Oxnard, Ventura, Carpinteria, Malibu, and Santa Barbara were alive with fireworks and festivities. Amid the celebrations, my phone buzzed constantly with calls from people desperate to recover lost jewelry. While I couldn’t assist everyone, one call stood out—Patrick, who had lost his wedding ring while enjoying a family day at Silverstrand Beach in Oxnard, CA.Patrick and his family had been soaking up the sun and surf when his platinum wedding ring slipped off his finger into the dry sand. He froze, marked his spot mentally, and began searching frantically with his family. They sifted through the sand for over an hour, but the ring remained elusive. Frustrated, Patrick’s wife decided it was time to call a professional.
That’s when they reached out to me, Dave The RingFinder, at 805-290-5009.
We arranged for me to arrive at Silverstrand Beach at sunrise the next morning. Patrick provided detailed photos and a precise location, which helped narrow down the search area. At 5:45 AM on July 5th, I hit the beach, expecting to see other detectorists eager to scour the post-holiday sands. Surprisingly, I had the beach to myself. Using my Minelab Manticore, I methodically gridded the area, starting small and expanding outward. After a careful sweep, I got a solid 39-40 signal, plunged my CKG scoop into the sand, and there it was—Patrick’s gleaming platinum wedding ring.
Losing a ring on the beaches of Oxnard, Ventura, Carpinteria, Malibu, or Santa Barbara can feel devastating, but time is critical. Tides, other detectorists, and shifting sands can make recovery challenging. Don’t wait—call or text Dave The RingFinder at 805-290-5009 for fast, professional lost ring recovery. As a proud member of TheRingFinders.com, I specialize in reuniting you with your precious jewelry, whether lost in the sand or surf.
 If you’ve lost a ring or other valuable on the beaches of Oxnard, Ventura, Carpinteria, Malibu, or Santa Barbara, don’t hesitate. Contact Dave The RingFinder at 805-290-5009 to swing the odds in your favor and recover your lost item quickly.

Swiss Visitor’s Ring Recovered at Thornbury Beach Ontario

  • from Toronto (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

It’s always rewarding to help someone turn a stressful moment into a happy memory , especially when it happens in a beautiful place like Thornbury , Ontario.

We recently got a call from a couple visiting all the way from Switzerland. They were staying at a lakefront home, enjoying some well-deserved time by the water. While applying sunscreen at the beach, she had taken off her rings and slipped them into her pocket — but as many of us know, that’s often how these little treasures go missing.

Later, while sitting at the beach, she noticed one of the rings glinting in the sand. Relief quickly turned to panic when she realized there were supposed to be three — and one was still missing.

They searched everywhere but couldn’t find it. That’s when we got the call.

After a three-hour drive to Thornbury, we arrived with our metal detecting gear and got to work. Thankfully, it didn’t take long — within minutes, we located the missing ring buried in the sand, not far from where they had been searching.

The look of relief on their faces made the drive more than worth it. It’s a great reminder that even when something feels lost for good, the right tools and a little experience can bring it back.
