Today, I received an urgent text from Mike, who had been camping and playing football at Carpinteria State Beach. While diving for a catch, his ring slipped off—stripped from his finger in a one-in-a-million moment. He wasn’t sure of the exact spot, but we narrowed it down to a 20×20-foot area of sand. I grabbed my gear and got to work.
The challenge? The beach was littered with bottle caps, pull tabs, and melted aluminum scraps. My Minelab Manticore was picking up a symphony of signals, making it impossible to zero in on the ring’s tone without digging every target. With so much metal trash, I couldn’t risk the ring being masked, so I committed to clearing the area scoop by scoop.
After 40 minutes and about 40 dug targets, doubt started creeping in. Had we misjudged the spot? I expanded the search slightly, and within a minute, I hit a solid 50-51 tone—a promising sign. I plunged my CKG scoop into the sand, gave it a few shakes, and there it was: Mike’s lost ring gleaming in the sunlight!
What started as a tougher-than-expected hunt ended in success. Losing a ring in the sand at Carpinteria State Beach doesn’t have to ruin your trip—Dave The Ring Finder has you covered. Call or text 805-290-5009 today, and let me reunite you with your lost treasure!

Recently, I received a text from a Santa Barbara resident who preferred to stay anonymous. She’d lost something irreplaceable: a small decorative box containing three rings and a diamond necklace. The missing items included her husband’s gold band, her white gold wedding ring, a jade ring—a sentimental gift from years ago—and a necklace with the diamond from her engagement ring. This wasn’t just jewelry; it was a treasure chest of her life’s memories, kept in her living room for years until it vanished.
She was devastated and convinced she’d searched everywhere. While my metal detecting gear excels outdoors, indoor searches pose challenges due to household metal and EMF interference. Still, I offered my expertise as an experienced searcher to tackle this mystery. We met at her Santa Barbara home, and I suggested we sit at her kitchen table—a calm spot to think clearly. Together, we listed every possible location for the box, planning to search each spot thoroughly and cross it off once cleared. This methodical approach helps clients stay focused when stress clouds their judgment.
One spot on the list was a large bookshelf in her living room. At first glance, it seemed unlikely, but we noticed the shelves were deep and shadowy. A closer look was worth it—and there, tucked in the back atop a row of books, was the small wooden box, blending perfectly with its surroundings. Inside were her rings and necklace, safe and sound! The relief and joy in that moment were palpable as she reclaimed her cherished pieces.
Finding a lost ring in Santa Barbara—or anywhere—often feels like detective work. It takes patience, a clear plan, and sometimes a fresh perspective. That’s where I come in. If you’re wondering how to find a lost ring in Santa Barbara, whether it’s buried in sand or hidden at home, call or text Dave The Ring Finder at 805-290-5009.

How Dave The Ring Finder Goes Beyond Jewelry Recovery to Keep Power Flowing in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties

How Dave The Ring Finder Goes Beyond Jewelry Recovery to Keep Power Flowing in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties
When you think of finding lost rings, jewelry might come to mind—but at Dave The Ring Finder (www.davetheringfinder.com), my work goes far beyond that. As a proud member of www.theRingfinders.com, I also recover critical components like transmission tower rings that keep electricity flowing to homes across Ventura and Los Angeles Counties. Here’s how my metal detection expertise helps keep the lights on in towns throughout these regions.
Late one night, I received a text from John, a lineman with an electrical contractor in Ventura County. He described an urgent situation: two halves of a vital transmission tower ring had come apart and fallen 100 feet from a remote mountainside tower. Accessible only by a treacherous one-lane road, this rugged location in Los Angeles or Ventura County posed a serious challenge. Losing this ring wasn’t just a minor inconvenience—its absence threatened to halt power operations for over a week while a replacement was sourced. With power reliability on the line, I set out to recover these essential pieces.
The search started with the first half of the ring, which had landed near the tower’s base. Using my metal detector, I quickly located it, securing a key part of the puzzle. The second half, however, was trickier—it had ricocheted off the tower frame multiple times before disappearing into the wild terrain. Undaunted by the steep hillsides typical of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, I conducted a detailed grid search. For hours, I navigated dense brush and uneven ground, relying on my detector’s steady signals to guide me.
At last, a faint tone broke through—a buried treasure three inches underground. With both halves recovered, I knew this wasn’t just a win for John’s team but for the countless homes depending on that tower for power. These weren’t rings for fingers; they were linchpins in the electrical grid, hidden in the remote landscapes of Ventura and Los Angeles Counties.
This mission highlights how www.theRingfinders.com and www.davetheringfinder.com do more than recover lost jewelry—we support critical infrastructure. From finding wedding bands to ensuring electricity keeps flowing, my professional metal detection services make a difference. Whether you’ve lost a cherished ring or a vital component in Ventura or Los Angeles County, I’m here to help.
