How to Find a Lost Ring in the Sand at Oxnard Beach, Silverstrand Beach, and Hollywood Beach
Losing a wedding ring in the shifting sands of Oxnard Beach, Silverstrand Beach, or Hollywood Beach can feel overwhelming, like searching for a needle in a haystack. When Jason contacted me this morning on behalf of his friend Steve, who had lost his cherished ring in the wet sand, I knew quick action was critical. As Dave, The Ring Finder, a proud member of www.theRingfinders.com, I understand that the unique slopes of these Ventura County beaches—Oxnard, Silverstrand, and Hollywood—mean a single high tide can bury a ring deep in the sand in just one cycle. With no time to waste, I headed to the beach to start the search.
Steve explained how his ring slipped off while he was tossing a stick toward the water, a common scenario at these lively coastal spots. I began by carefully gridding the area, focusing on the wet sand zones where the tides at Oxnard Beach, Silverstrand Beach, and Hollywood Beach could have carried the ring. Initial sweeps turned up nothing, but I adjusted my approach, moving closer to the water’s edge where the ring was most likely to have settled. Within minutes, my metal detector let out a promising signal. With a swift scoop, I dug into the sand and pulled out Steve’s lost ring, gleaming in the sunlight. The relief and joy on his face as I handed it back were unforgettable.
These beaches, with their beauty and constant tidal shifts, can make losing a ring a stressful ordeal—but that’s where professional metal detection comes in. Whether it’s the expansive shores of Oxnard Beach, the vibrant Silverstrand Beach, or the bustling Hollywood Beach, I’m here to help. As Dave, The Ring Finder, I specialize in recovering lost treasures and reuniting them with their owners. If you’ve lost a ring or any precious item in the sand, don’t give up hope.

Beautiful, Sentimental Gold Wedding Band found and returned in Delaware County, PA

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Received and email from Jestine on June 17, 2020 asking for help with a lost ring. Apparently she was holding the beautiful, vintage gold band for a friend while playing Cornhole in her backyard. Turns out the ring was a family heirloom that went back generations. After purchasing a metal detector and trying to find the ring herself over the course of several hours she gave up and consulted the Ring Finders directory. After getting the call and heading in her direction, she lives in Aldan, PA, I gave a call to my bud and fellow Ring Finder, John Favano to see if he wanted to join me for the search. We met there 30 minutes later and met Jestine in her backyard….it was a small backyard with high grass. She walked us through step by step what happened with the lost ring and we got to work. I had barely turned my machine on when I saw a funny smile on John’s face…it took him less then 3 minutes to find the ring! It was a beauty as was Jestine’s reaction when we put it back in her hand.

Lost gold ring found in Woodcliff Lake,NJ

  • from Mahwah (New Jersey, United States)
Contact:

Bob was cleaning the gutters on his house in November, 2019. As he grabbed handfuls of leaves and threw them down, he felt his 14 Carat gold wedding band slip off his finger. He searched for the ring and even rented a metal detector to try and locate it.

His wife found me through the Ringfinder site and we agreed to a time for me to look. After one 2 hour session, I had no luck locating the ring.

I returned and broadened my search to be further from the house. Within 1/2 an hour I received a strong signal and there 35 ft. From the house I found the ring about 2 inches below the soil.

They were elated to get the ring back ! Another recovery by the Ringfinders!!

Beautiful, sentimental silver ring recovered and returned in Willow Grove, PA

  • from Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, United States)
Contact:

Madison found me through the online directory and contacted me on June 10, 2020. She conveyed to me that her young son was playing with her beautiful, David Yurman, silver ring after she had left it on the back patio table. He had it on his finger and was running around her small backyard in Willow Grove, PA when all of a sudden she noticed it was no longer on his little finger. After spending hours on her hands and knees looking for it she decided to contact me for help. I arrived at her house on the afternoon of June 12th and, as always, I asked her to go through exactly what happened step-by-step with a re-enactment of actions leading to the lost ring. I also always do a quick demonstration of how my metal detector works so she could feel confident that if the ring is there I will find it. I turned my machine on and started sweeping where she thought it most likely fell and less then 60 seconds later I got a perfect silver ring tone in my headphones. I bent over and pushed the grass aside and there was her beautiful ring! Besides being extremely happy to see her ring again she was amazed because she was 100% sure she had searched that area on her hands and knees. I was very happy to be able to recover and return such a beautiful ring to its rightful owner!

Diamond engagement ring found in Savannah, Georgia

  • from Fernandina Beach (Florida, United States)

What do you do when someone calls for help and they want you to come the morning of your anniversary, you go.  After you ask your wife of course.
I received a call while vacationing on Hilton Head about a lost ring.   The ring had been dropped off a dock while throwing a cast net.  The husband had looked for a little while that night.
I meet them the next morning at low tide and while it was still dark.   After coming up empty after maybe 30 minutes, I finally found the ring.  It had been stepped on and was buried deep.   It was a nasty hunt but well worth the trouble.  When I found the ring I did not tell them.  I walked out to wash off and gave them a sad story about the ring probably being stepped on and out of range being buried in the mud.   I then reached in my pocket and gave her a nail, then a dime and then I said I found another piece of trash (the ring).   She was excited and her husband couldn’t believe it.   It was the most beautiful ring I have ever seen.   They asked what they owed and told them they could decide.  It was a very generous reward.   I could now get my wife a nice anniversary present.   Thank you Jesus for helping us today.

Lost Ring Found… Williamsburg, Iowa

Contact:

I found a ring today for the mother of a friend of mine. She was pulling weeds in her strawberry patch and garden and tossing them, the ring must have gone too.

It’s a different kind of ring because there is a latch on it. She hurt one of her fingers and this was a way she could slip the ring on her finger without more pain. Unfortunately the latch would catch on things and open.

It is a gold ring with three diamonds and she was very happy to have it back.

Lost Wedding Band Hardisty Neighbourhood, Edmonton Alberta.

  • from Edmonton (Alberta, Canada)
Contact:

I received an e-mail late last night from Kale requesting my service to locate his lost wedding band. I called Kale and arranged a meeting at 9.00 am this morning.

I met Kale in his front yard and he told me that he planted an apple tree and had felt the ring fly off his finger.  He thought his ring had possibly ended up in the hole that he had dug.  He searched the hole and his front yard and had no luck.  I told Kale that the ring would probably be within a radius of 15 to 20 feet from the tree.  When I asked him if he had raked his lawn, he replied that he had around the apple tree in hopes that he would find the ring.  I did a quick search around the area then moved to where he left his rake the night before  and a foot away I found his ring tucked nicely in the grass.

Another happy Client,  Thank you Kale.

Friendship Restored: Recovering Lost Rings with Expert Metal Detection in Agoura CA

  • from Santa Barbara (California, United States)
Contact:
Losing a wedding ring in your yard can turn a joyful moment into a stressful ordeal, especially in areas like Agoura, Thousand Oaks, and Westlake Village, where sprawling landscapes and dense foliage are common. When Tommy called me, Dave, The Ring Finder—a proud member of www.theRingfinders.com—after his friend’s animated gesture sent a ring flying into the night, I knew time was critical. If you’ve lost a ring in your yard in Agoura, Thousand Oaks, or Westlake Village, here’s how professional ring recovery can save the day.
Tommy described the chaotic scene: a 200-square-foot planter filled with rose bushes and bark in his backyard, complicated by nearby metal objects causing interference. As a metal detection expert serving Agoura, Thousand Oaks, and Westlake Village, I arrived ready to tackle the challenge. I started with a handheld pinpointer, crawling through the thorny planter to narrow down the search. The ring wasn’t easy to find—hidden among the bushes—but I wasn’t about to give up.
Switching to my Minelab Equinox 800, I used advanced metal detection techniques to systematically sweep the area. After an hour of persistent effort, a clear tone rang out. There it was: Tommy’s friend’s wedding ring, delicately caught on a rose bush branch. But the surprises didn’t end there—my search uncovered two more rings tangled in the foliage, turning a single recovery into a triple triumph. The relief on Tommy’s face was priceless as these cherished symbols were returned.
Finding a lost ring in your yard in Agoura, Thousand Oaks, or Westlake Village requires quick action and expertise. Backyard landscapes—whether planters, lawns, or gardens—can hide jewelry under layers of soil, plants, or debris, and waiting too long risks losing it forever. That’s where I come in. As Dave, The Ring Finder, I specialize in recovering lost rings and treasures using professional metal detection services tailored to these communities.
If you’ve lost a ring in your yard in Agoura, Thousand Oaks, or Westlake Village, don’t hesitate. Contact me, Dave, at 805-290-5009 or visit www.davetheringfinder.com or www.theringfinders.com/david.mac.donald. With my skills and dedication, I’ll help you reclaim what’s most precious to you—fast. Let’s get your lost ring back where it belongs!

Lost Wedding Band Found Under Porch, Falls Church Virginia

  • from Fairfax (Virginia, United States)
Contact:

April 16th, 2020. During the Wuhan virus pandemic.

Andrew emailed me asking for help to find a ring, not for himself, but for his friend Hazel. In January, Hazel was sitting on the front porch when her ring slipped from her hand and hit the wood deck. They were not sure if the ring rolled off into some bushes or slipped in between the boards. Andrew knew in his heart that the ring was there and it could be found. He had looked through the openings of the deck and around the bushes with a powerful light, but no luck.

When I arrived, I met Andrew and Mike.

Front of the House

Hoping the ring rolled or bounced off the low deck, I searched the bushes thoroughly with my AT Max. I found the usual hidden trash, but no ring. I then concentrated my search under the deck.

 

 

 

 

There were only a few inches of space to work. I detached my shaft and reached under the deck with my sniper coil. I borrowed a leaf rake from Mike as the one I brought was too large to fit under the deck. I heard targets and raked them out, then used my pinpointer to scan the debris.

Tight Access Under the Porch

It was then I had the pleasure of meeting Hazel. She remembered precisely how the ring sounded when it rolled on the wooden deck. From her description, I redoubled my efforts to search farther under the deck.

 

 

 

 

 

Found!

I stretched my arm and extended the coil to the limit when I heard a promising target. Mentally marking the spot, I used the leaf rake and pulled out more debris. I waved the pinpointer over the dirt and leaves and dug down to find the ring!

 

Andrew’s determination to help his friend resulted in a happy ending!
