Last night I got a call from a number from Hungary. I figured I was getting spammed so I let it go to voice mail. What it was though was a family from Hungary on a once in a lifetime vacation in the U.S. had been swimming in the ocean across from their Hotel Mar Monte in Santa Barbara. Violet had been standing knee deep at high tide when a sneaker wave came up and knocked her down and her wedding ring fell off into the surf. The other problem was they were leaving the next day (today at 11am) so I needed to get there fast and early. I hit the road at 4am so I could get out on East Beach at 5am. I got to the location and began a grid search from the slope down into the water. On my fourth pass I got the sound I had been looking for on my Minelab Manticore and after 3 scoops I could hear clanging in the scoop but I couldn’t see due to the darkness. I grabbed my phone and turned on the flashlight and there it was, Violet’s ring!

The whole family was pumped as the lost ring had seemingly put a damper on the entire vacation but thanks to Dave The RingFinder it was going back to Hungary.

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!
