I got a text early Monday morning from Antimm stating that he had lost his necklace while swimming at Santa Claus beach in Carpinteria. He had been out body surfing when he came in and realized that his necklace that had a gold baptismal cross and silver pendant on it. We agreed to meet at low tide that afternoon to begin the search.

I spent the better part of two hours dodging the waves and searching in the water but I was unable to locate the necklace. We checked the tides and I told Antimm I would return to the beach on Friday as the tides were a bit more favorable because he was pretty sure he had lost it out in the wash.

Friday came and when I got to the beach the tide was out but conditions had changed. There was a decent swell and while I was prepared to get wet I had no idea just how soaked I was going to get. On the Monday search there was a sand bar and you could stand pretty easy and deal with the waves. Unfortunately the sand was gone and the waves were brutal. After getting tossed around for about an hour I moved to a new location and finally got a signal worth scooping.

I was in about 3 feet of water when I scooped and checked the hole and sure enough it was in the scoop. Unfortunately a wave met me at the same time and I lost whatever I had found. As the water receded I looked down and could see a silver looking disc in the water and I frantically got my scoop positioned behind it and this time I got it.

I was ecstatic as this was as close to a miracle as you can get in metal detecting. To God be the glory!

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.

Remember, if you lose your valuable piece of jewelry all is not lost if you call or text Dave at 805-290-5009. Dave has the experience, the skill and the time to search for your ring even if it’s at 2am!

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.
