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!

I’ll create a plan to recover your lost jewelry fast, whether it’s buried in dry sand, washed by the surf, or hidden in a grassy yard!
Yesterday, I got a call from Britany, who was in a panic. Her husband had lost his wedding ring during the Northern LA Boardriders October surf event at Leo Carrillo State Beach in Malibu. He’d stashed the ring inside his wetsuit for safekeeping while competing in the surf. After his set, he peeled off the suit on the beach, and the ring slipped out, disappearing into the dry sand. They knew the rough spot near the shore, so Britany reached out to me—the go-to metal detection expert for finding lost rings in Malibu’s sand and surf.
I headed to Leo Carrillo State Beach, just off Malibu’s stunning coastline, and met them in the sandy area where the ring went missing. With my Minelab detector, I swept the spot, and within a couple of minutes, I got a solid hit. A quick scoop in the dry sand revealed the wedding ring—safe and sound! I handed it back to Britany’s husband, and the day at Leo Carrillo was saved. Finding lost rings in the sand is my specialty, but I’m just as skilled at recovering jewelry from the surf, gardens, yards, or grassy areas around Malibu.

Lost Texas A&M “Aggie” Class Ring…Found and Returned Four Years Later!!

“It’s Only Lost Until I Find It!

Lost a ring or other metal valuable at the beach or in a grassy or sandy area? Jewelry slip off of you while working outside, playing with the dog or swimming? Please contact me ASAP at (843) 995-4719 or @dunedinringfinder. I offer a FREE metal detecting service, reward optional but appreciated upon recovery!

My wife and I recently spent a week in Texas with our daughter, son-in-law and two grandsons. Part of the trip was a three day beach stay in Port Aransas along with other family members on both sides including our son and his wife. Of course, any opportunity I have to do detecting on a beach I try to take advantage of it so I carried along my Minelab Equinox 900 with me.

While detecting on the beach at Port Aransas the first day, my finds had been a handful of coins, a bling ring, a bling earring and an assortment of pull tabs. After a few hours of this, I was about a half mile north of the property where we were staying when I swung my detector over a target in the wet sand about four inches down on mid tide. The number on the display and the tone in my headphones gave me indications that the target was probably a beer cap but when I scooped it out of the wet sand I was pleasantly surprised to find what appeared to be a small gold class ring! After a quick wash of the ring in the salty water, I could see that I had found a Texas A&M class ring from 2021 and the full name of the owner was inscribed inside! For those of you who don’t know how important the achievement of a class ring is to an Aggie grad, you can find out more by searching “Aggie Ring Tradition” and the “Aggie Network”. To say it’s a big deal is a huge understatement.

I returned to where we were staying and began my research. I found two people on Facebook who had the same first and last names as what was inscribed in the ring and who lived in that part of Texas but only one of the two had graduated in 2021. I reached out to her through Facebook messenger (her first name is Amber) but I did not receive a response. The next morning, I decided to post the find on a Facebook page called “Aggie Ring Lost and Found” and it wasn’t long before some of Amber’s family and friends let her know that her ring had been found! Amber then responded to me and of course was shocked that I had found it because she lost it while playing beach volleyball about four years before and had only had it about four months. She had given it up for lost and had purchased a replacement ring. I told her that I was surprised it was still there because of how many people metal detect on beaches now. Amber asked me if I could return the ring to her brother Matthew who was in College Station for his last semester at Texas A&M when my family returned from our stay at Port Aransas and I promised her that I would. The day after our family returned to College Station from Port Aransas, I met Amber’s brother Matthew and returned the ring to him so he could deliver it to Amber who was living and working in San Antonio.

Amber, I was so happy that I could return your precious Aggie ring to you!

Lost Keys Grandin Neighbourhood, St Albert Alberta Canada

Mike called me to ask if it was possible for me to drop by his house and help him find his lost keys in his back yard. After asking Mike a few questions in regards to his keys I agreed to drop by.

I meet Mike in his back yard.  He was cleaning up around a wood pile and said he had left his keys on the side of the wood pile and when it was time to pick up his keys they were not where he had left them.

I quickly checked the area that Mike had raked up into a pile. Mike said he had double checked the pile with no luck, but had he raked another foot over, he would have found his keys!  Mike was very grateful to have his keys back.  Thank you Mike

The other night, I got a call from Bryn, who was in a bind. He and his wife Camille had spent a sunny day at Solimar Beach in Ventura County, soaking up the sand and surf. But when they got home, Bryn noticed his wedding ring was gone. He remembered where they’d been sitting on the beach, though he’d wandered a bit—making trips around the area—so he wasn’t sure if it was lost in the sand or elsewhere. Time was ticking, but Solimar Beach isn’t a hot spot for other detectorists, so I knew we had a solid shot at ring recovery in Ventura County if it was there.
I arrived at Solimar Beach, zeroed in on their spot, and started gridding the sand with my Minelab Manticore. After a couple of passes, I hit a crisp 54-55 tone—a number that often means a zinc penny, but I had a hunch. I plunged my CKG titanium scoop into the sand, shook it out, and felt something hefty. There it was: a stunning 18k gold hammered men’s wedding ring—one of the most beautiful recoveries I’ve made in Ventura County. I thanked God for the find and called Bryn with the good news. He and Camille were overjoyed, and we set up a meet to reunite him with his ring.

Old Silver Beach, Falmouth, Massachusetts. Men’s Lost Wedding Ring Found for Owner by Metal Detecting

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)

16 September 2024

When George lost the gold wedding band that had encircled his ring finger for 47 years he had little hope that he’d ever see it again.  He’d been enjoying a swim in chest deep water when he felt the ring slip off, and an attempted search in the mobile sand proved fruitless.  Later in the evening his daughter learned of the RingFinders through the Fabulous Falmouth Facebook page and early the next morning she called me to see if I might be able to help.  I of course said yes, I’d be happy to do a search.  She said she’d get in touch with her father, who lives off-Cape, so that we could arrange to meet and he could direct me to the area to search.  When I received his call and got some information about where he lost the ring I headed to the beach to start the search while he was on his way to meet me.  The timing was good, tide-wise, as water in the search area was now only shin- to knee-deep.  It was also good that I had received the call early, as there were already two other detectorists in the area when I arrived.  Fortunately, there was no conflict over the places that we were searching.

I set up a search pattern and within about 45 minutes had that magical signal that says ‘gold’.  One scoop and I pulled up George’s ring.  It had taken only one and a half tidal cycles for the ring to be buried 6-8″ deep as the waves shifted sand across the seabed.

I pocketed the ring and continued on searching the area while I waited for George to arrive.  He appeared about a half hour later and we stood on the beach and chatted for a few minutes.  He pointed out the area where he thought the ring was lost (spot- on for the area I’d searched!) and expressed his disappointment about losing the ring and his feeling that it was lost cause that it could ever be found.  We finally got to talking about the ring itself and I asked him to describe it to me.  As he finished his description I palmed the ring from my pocket, opened my hand, and asked, “does it look something like this?”  Needless to say, that next moment is always one of the BEST that one can possibly experience in life – the surprise, disbelief and joy of the recipient, together with the surge of happiness I feel, knowing that I’ve been able to make that happen.

Well, to make a long story short, I took a few pictures to go with this little story and we continued some conversation about life in general, and grandchildren in particular.  It was a beautiful day.

Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost In Emerald Isle Waters Found Weeks Later

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

CRYSTAL COAST RING FINDERS – EMERALD ISLE, NC

Anna was walking in the shallow water with her son when a large wave knocked her son off his feet. When Anna grabbed him, her wedding band came off. The gold ring was given to Anna’s mother by her father’s great aunt, and Anna had worn it for five years in place of her own wedding rings. I began my first search for Anna’s ring one week after she lost it. Unfortunately, the sand had shifted, and I found very little metal that first hunt. The sand along the water’s edge stayed soft and deep, only giving up very light metals. My fourth search was three weeks later. I was also searching for a special bangle that was lost further out. As I was working along the shoreline, I received a very strong signal. As I moved the sea shells out of my sand scoop, I noticed Anna’s gold ring! I immediately left the water for the dry sand and inspected the ring that was a match to Anna’s description of the inscription. I sent her a few photos minutes later. Anna told me on the first attempt she had confidence in me finding her heirloom ring, and the fourth attempt she was correct! Thank you, Anna, for your trust, and it was a pleasure meeting you and your family.

Wedding Band Recovered on Beach & Returned, Falmouth, Massachusetts

  • from Falmouth (Massachusetts, United States)
Contact:

Ryan did the right thing when he removed his 3-month old wedding band before he waded in.  The cooling fall water can shrink a finger and make it easy for a ring to slip off.  He left the ring in his hat in the dry sand on the beach, enjoyed the  water, and spent a nice afternoon lounging in the sun with his new bride on this beautiful fall day.  Only when they were ready to leave after several hours did they realize that his ring was no longer in his hat and was nowhere to be found.  They searched on hands and knees through the soft dry sand, but this proved to be fruitless, as is almost always the case in such circumstances.

They did an online search which turned up my RingFinders site, and when I received their call I was able to meet them within about 15 minutes and head to the location where the ring was lost.  It was nearing sunset, but Ryan had a good idea of where the ring should be, and I had to search for only a few minutes before I able to locate it.  I snapped a few pictures and we shared some happy conversation as the sun set.  Another good day for the RingFinders!

Ryan’s like-new wedding band.

 

A happy reunion.

Wristwatch lost a Mission Beach found.

  • from La Jolla (California, United States)
Contact:

Brian was playing football with some friends on the shores of Mission Beach when his watch got snagged, popped the band loose, and off into the dry sand it went. Surely something as big as a watch could be found by several people running their fingers through the sand like little rakes, right? Nope, all their efforts were in vain. In his search for help, his friend Zack contacted Curtis Cox, a fellow RingFinder member and friend located 25 miles or so north of me. Curtis recommended a call to me since I’m much closer. Thanks Curtis! I arrived at the site, called Zack, and he had Brian meet me to define the search area. At first it looked like a family had come and camped right on ground zero, but, after a minute or two, Brian said it was more likely about 20 feet away, so, I started my search there. After just a minute or two, I got a likely signal and was in the process of investigating when Brian spotted a log that he said was more likely the spot. That log was over right next to the people camped and Brian waved to me to go there. I said, wait a sec, as this might be it, and it was, still ticking away! A happy Brian couldn’t believe how quick it was found. A pleasure to meet you Brian, talk to you Zack, and thanks for the reward.
