Dave MacDonald, Carpinteria Ringfinder, Recovers 5 Lost Rings at Carpinteria State Beach
Yesterday afternoon, I received a frantic call from Jenny, her voice trembling as she described losing not one, but five precious rings at Carpinteria State Beach. She’d tucked them into her beach bag before a swim, only to discover they were gone when she got home. As Dave MacDonald, your trusted Carpinteria Ringfinder and Santa Barbara Ringfinder, I knew time was critical. I grabbed my Equinox 900 metal detector and headed out to reunite Jenny with her treasures.
Jenny shared photos of her beach spot, which became our starting point. At first, our search through the dry sand turned up nothing but trash. Undeterred, I suggested a closer look at her pictures. Using my phone camera, we compared the images to the landscape, realizing we’d misjudged the location. With this new insight, we shifted our focus—a key move for any lost ring Carpinteria recovery.
Minutes after adjusting our search area, the Equinox 900 lit up with signals. In a small patch of sand, the first ring emerged, followed by the rest—one by one, like buried treasure. Within moments, all five of Jenny’s rings were back in her hands, her relief palpable. This success showcases why I’m proud to serve as the Montecito Ringfinder and beyond, turning heartbreak into happy endings.

Dave MacDonald Recovers Lost Medallion in the sand at Zuma Beach, Serving Malibu Beaches
Late Sunday afternoon, I got a panicked call from Marlon. While soaking up the sun at Zuma Beach with his family, his gold coin medallion slipped off his necklace and vanished into the sand. As Dave MacDonald, your expert ring finder for Malibu, Broad Beach, Leo Carrillo Beach, and beyond, I promised swift action to recover his cherished item.
Despite battling weekend traffic and parking chaos near Zuma Beach, I arrived to find Marlon distraught. I reassured him—we’d get it back. With my trusty Equinox 900 metal detector in hand, I launched a meticulous grid search across the area he’d pinpointed. Gridding is like mowing a lawn: slow, steady, and thorough, covering every inch of sand from Pt. Dume Beach-style dunes to El Matador Beach-like rocky patches.
The first two sweeps yielded nothing but anticipation. Then, on the third pass, a sharp tone cut through the air—a hit! Digging carefully, I pulled Marlon’s medallion from its sandy hiding spot, gleaming like treasure. His ecstatic leaps and shouts of joy said it all: another successful recovery for the beaches of Malibu, from Thornhill Broome Beach to Sycamore Beach.

Title: Dave MacDonald Recovers Lost Wedding Ring at Pt. Mugu Beach, Malibu
This morning, Alexandra texted me in a panic: her husband’s wedding ring had slipped off while playing with their kids at Pt. Mugu State Park Beach in Malibu. The heavy ring sank fast into the sand, lost to the beach’s expanse. As Dave MacDonald, your go-to ring finder for Zuma Beach, Broad Beach, and beyond, I promised immediate action to recover it before anyone else could claim it.
I rushed to Pt. Mugu Beach, where we hit the sand running. The first sweep turned up nothing, but I don’t give up easily—whether it’s Leo Carrillo Beach’s rocky shores or El Matador Beach’s tricky terrain. Expanding the search, my second pass with the metal detector struck gold—a distinct tone rang out. With careful precision, I dug up the buried treasure: Alexandra’s husband’s wedding ring, safe and sound.
The relief was instant, the joy contagious. A lifeguard had warned me about bullets and bottle caps littering the area—an obstacle I’ve faced at Thornhill Broome Beach and Sycamore Beach—making this recovery even sweeter. Alexandra’s quick call made all the difference.

Successful Recovery: Lost Wedding Rings Rescued from Carpinteria State Beach

Title: Dave MacDonald Recovers 3 Lost Rings at Carpinteria State Beach
Last evening, I got a frantic call from friends of Karina and Drew, camping at Carpinteria State Beach. Karina had lost her three wedding rings in the sand, and despite hours of digging—even using a store-bought metal detector—the group came up empty. A quick Google search for “lost ring recovery” led them to Dave MacDonald Ringfinder, and I promised fast help for Santa Claus Beach, Rincon Beach Park, and beyond.
Arriving at Carpinteria State Beach, I met a crowd of worried family members eager for results. I started gridding the area where the rings were last seen, a technique I’ve perfected from Summerland Beach to East Beach Santa Barbara. When the initial search turned up nothing, I suspected the rings had shifted—maybe toward the waterline, as I’ve seen at Loon Point Beach. Expanding my scan near La Conchita Beach-like tides, my metal detector soon pinged. One by one, all three rings emerged from the sand in just three minutes—a thrilling win!

Title: Dave MacDonald Recovers Lost Promise Ring at Oxnard Beach, Santa Barbara Expert
Monday evening, Kaitlyn texted me in distress: her promise ring had vanished into the surf and wet sand at Oxnard Beach Park. As Dave MacDonald, the top Santa Barbara ringfinder, I knew timing was critical. I scheduled an early Tuesday search during low tide, covering East Beach to Ventura State Beach. Armed with Kaitlyn’s rough location, I launched a three-hour grid search at Oxnard Beach, but the ring stayed hidden.
Undeterred, Kaitlyn and her boyfriend Flavio joined me Wednesday morning. We revisited Oxnard Beach, adjusting for shifting sands—a challenge I’ve faced at Hendry’s Beach and Leadbetter Beach. Expanding beyond Mandalay Beach-like wet zones to the slope and high tide line, we pressed on. My metal detector finally sang along the high tide—a buried treasure! I dug up the promise ring, surprising Flavio with the find.
This recovery proves persistence pays off, whether it’s Butterfly Beach, Loon Point Beach, or Thousand Steps Beach. From Mesa Lane Beach to Port Hueneme Beach, I’m your go-to for lost ring recovery in Santa Barbara.

2 Gold and diamond rings, lost for 4 years, recovered Carpentersville, Il

  • from Rockford (Illinois, United States)
Contact:

I received a email from Lori in January about looking for a lost diamond ring in thier backyard. She asked if I thought that I could possibly find it even though it was lost over 4 years ago. I asked her if there was any type of construction or if the soil had been disturbed since then.  She said that it was not disturbed. But we just had a major snow and ice storm that left over a foot of snow and ice on the ground so we decided to wait for it to melt. It took till March 11th for all of the snow and ice to melt and for us to have a chance to meet up for the search.  I was shown the area in the backyard where the ring was thought to be. After 2 1/2 hours of searching their’s and both of their neighbors backyards all the way down to the edge of the swamp, at the rear of their townhomes with no luck.  So I came back the following afternoon with some Muck boots and waded into the edge of the swamp. Not long into the search I recovered a white gold wedding band with no diamnds incased in a tite root ball! Confused I asked Lori to describe her ring to me again and she told me it was a diamond ring with one bigger center stone and smaller stones on the sides. So I showed her the ring I found. It was her wedding band! So my ring search turned into a multiple ring search. Turns out the entire wedding set was out there and now just the diamond ring is still out there! So I searched as much of the swampy area as I could before getting water over my boots. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the diamond ring that night. So I told Lori that I wasn’t giving up and that I would return with my chest waders and the rest of my water gear. It took a few days before I could get back. March 19th I made it back with my water gear and within minutes I had another white metal ring! Just a band with no stones. Turned out to be a stainless steel ring. And just a few minutes later I got the signal that I had been waiting for! 13 on the Nox, still entangled in the vegetation floating near the surface of the water was Lori’s long lost diamond ring!! We knew it was there, I just had to get my coil over it!!

Engagement ring left in kitchen and it went MIA~Toronto, Ontario

  • from Brampton (Ontario, Canada)
Contact:

Received a call from a very upset young lady Sharon (Shenshen) B. in Toronto, Ontario.

She had placed her diamond filled engagement ring on the kitchen counter. She proceeded to do some cleaning, take some garbage out and was very upset she could not locate her engagement ring. She felt it could have fallen in the cracks of her deck outside or in the garbage bag that she took to the garage. She had checked the kitchen….counters…cabinets, garbage, and floor….and no luck.

I started in the grass in the backyard, then underneath the deck. Within 25 minutes I heard a wonderful scream “I FOUND IT”!!!

I dusted off and met her at the back door. She happened to go into the living room just off the kitchen and there it was in the medium shag carpet!! It must have rolled off the counter, along the ceramic floor and ended up on the carpet.

A very happy ending for this bride-to-be and another donation to the Kelly Shires Breast Cancer Foundation’s “Royal Distributing Sun Run” motorcycle charity ride in June of 2017!! <3
