Lost Wedding Ring Recovered at Mondo’s Beach, Ventura CA

Professional metal detecting ring recovery — Ventura County beaches, shallow water, yards & parks

Ben had been swimming at Mondo’s Beach in Ventura when he realized his wedding ring — there when he went in — was gone when he got out. He was chest-deep when it slipped off, with a 3.0 tide pushing everything 40 to 50 feet out into the Pacific. He reached out to Dave The RingFinder, Ventura’s go-to metal detecting recovery expert.

Ocean water recoveries on Ventura County beaches are some of the toughest searches there are. Cold Pacific water, shifting sand, unpredictable waves, and tidal movement all work against you. Experience and timing are everything. No metal detector rental and a YouTube tutorial is going to prepare you for a Pacific Ocean ring search at 4:30 in the morning.

Dave studied the tide charts and identified Sunday morning at 4:45am as the optimal low-tide window — the best chance for a successful recovery at Mondo’s Beach in Ventura. He was in the water by 4:30am under a full moon with his professional metal detecting equipment, working through 2 to 3 foot surf. Every wave pushed him around. Target after target came up as trash. The search was hard.

Then Dave did what he always does — he said a prayer and trusted his instincts. He shifted his search north and on the second pass in waist-deep water, he got the tone and number he’d been waiting for. He let the waves recede, drove his scoop into the sand, shook it out — and there was Ben’s gold wedding ring. It was going home.
