This afternoon, I connected with Ryan, whose son lost his cell phone after a fun family day at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia. They had pulled over on their way home to stretch, somewhere near Newhall or Santa Clarita, but Ryan wasn’t sure of the exact spot. With Ryan now three hours away, I headed out to search without my metal detector—just using my eyes and determination.
The area near Santa Clarita was large, and the kids had been running around, so I began gridding the site.

After several passes, it was clear the phone wasn’t where Ryan thought. Thinking it might have been placed on the car and fallen off, I searched along the roadside. Sure enough, just three feet from traffic in the Santa Clarita dirt, I found the phone! A bit dusty but fully functional, it was lucky no one ran it over.
Since Ryan was out of town, I mailed the phone back from a local Valencia post office. As any parent knows, kids need their phones!

Early Monday morning, I got a text from Antimm, who’d lost his necklace while body surfing at Santa Claus Beach in Carpinteria. The necklace—a gold baptismal cross with a silver pendant—was missing after he came in from the waves. We arranged to meet that afternoon at low tide to start the search in Carpinteria’s coastal waters.
For two hours, I battled the surf near Ventura County’s edge, searching the shallows with my metal detector. The waves were relentless, and despite my efforts, the necklace eluded me. After checking tide charts for Santa Barbara County beaches, I told Antimm I’d return Friday when conditions might improve—he was certain it was lost in the wash.
Friday rolled around, and Santa Claus Beach had transformed. The tide was out, but a strong swell had erased the sandbar I’d relied on Monday. The waves were fierce, soaking me head to toe as I searched deeper waters. After an hour of getting tossed around Carpinteria’s surf, I shifted spots and finally got a solid signal in about three feet of water.
I scooped, checked the hole, and saw it in my basket—until a wave crashed over me, washing it away! As the water pulled back, I spotted a silver disc glinting in the sand. Heart racing, I scooped again, securing it this time. There it was: Antimm’s necklace, a near-miracle recovery from the Ventura-Santa Barbara County shoreline. I couldn’t believe it—to God be the glory!

I recently got a call from Glory, a young woman unwinding after weekend classes at Pacifica Graduate Institute near Santa Barbara. She’d been playing volleyball with friends on a grassy field when a powerful spike sent her grandmother’s ring soaring off her finger into the grass. Glory and her friends searched for hours in the Montecito-area hills, but the ring stayed hidden. Desperate, they turned to the internet and found me—Dave MacDonald, the local metal detection specialist—and set up a time for me to help.
I couldn’t make it that day, but I promised Glory I’d arrive at sunrise the next morning. She was nervous about heading back to Berkeley before the search, so I reassured her I’d mail the ring to her once found. At dawn, I arrived in Summerland—just minutes from Carpinteria and Montecito—met the campus security guard, and mapped out a grid pattern to scan with my Minelab Manticore. After three careful passes, I got a sharp high tone. Using my pinpointer, I confirmed a surface target, parted the grass, and there it was: a stunning 24k gold ring nestled in the green.
I showed it to the guard, and we agreed it matched Glory’s description. I snapped a photo, texted it to her, and confirmed it was her grandmother’s ring. Now, it’s safely on its way back to Berkeley, where it belongs!
