I got a late text last week from Aramis — he had lost a very special and important ring the evening before at Carpinteria State Beach. He had a general idea of where the loss had occurred, so I headed out hoping for an easy recovery. When I got to the beach it was packed! We’ve been much warmer than normal the past week, so everyone who could get out to the beach in Carpinteria had done just that. An easy recovery just became a lot more difficult.

Aramis mentioned the area was by a hole dug in the sand. Unfortunately, this stretch of beach had about 8 holes, and next to each one were kids playing. He mentioned something incredibly important, though — a purple towel that had been left behind in the sand, and he really thought it was near there. After zig-zagging around people for an hour, I got to my last hole, and wouldn’t you know it, buried in the sand and barely visible was a purple towel. Two minutes later I got a great-sounding tone on my Minelab Manticore, and I scooped up Aramis’s ring! Another ring recovery in the sand by Dave The RingFinder!

A Swiss Visitor’s Engagement Ring, Recovered Near the Santa Barbara Pier

Late last Saturday night I got an urgent phone call from a number listed from Switzerland. It was from Irina, who had been visiting Santa Barbara on holiday from Switzerland and had lost her engagement ring near the Santa Barbara Pier. I told her I would get out there Sunday afternoon, as I had another ring to look for in the morning.

I convinced my wife she should come to the beach in SB with me, so we got out to the Pier and it was packed with visitors, as was Cabrillo Blvd, since there was a street fair going on at Chase Palm Park. With people everywhere, it was going to be a fun search. Thankfully, the area where she thought she’d lost it was on the north side of the pier and it’s usually not very crowded, so I got to work and began a grid parallel to the pier. There were coins everywhere, so I knew no one had detected this area in a long time — I was confident no one had beat me to Irina’s ring. On my second pass, I got a nice low hit on my Minelab Manticore, and in my scoop was a beautiful white gold engagement ring. I sent her a picture to confirm it was hers, and the response was an enthusiastic yes!

Irina had already left the area and was now in Newport Beach, so I got her address, insured her ring, and mailed it to her. Two days later, her ring was back where it belonged. This is what Irina had to say:

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about this experience! I lost my ring while I was in Santa Barbara and was so upset and worried that I would never see it again. I called Dave, and he came to the rescue! He was incredibly kind, professional, and determined to help me find it, and he actually DID!

What made the whole experience even more amazing was that his wife and him went the extra mile and shipped the ring back to me. I am beyond grateful for their kindness, honesty, and generosity.

This wasn’t just about finding a lost ring; it was about two wonderful people who genuinely cared and went above and beyond to help a stranger. I will never forget their kindness. If you ever lose something precious, I highly recommend Dave. Truly an amazing story and an amazing couple! ❤️?”

Grandmothers ring found at Pacifica Graduate Institute in Summerland CA

Lost Ring Recovery in Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, and Montecito – Call Dave MacDonald Today!

Lost your grandmother’s ring, wedding ring, or another cherished piece of jewelry in Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, or Montecito? Act fast—call or text Dave MacDonald, the metal detection expert serving Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties, at 805-290-5009. Time, tides, lawnmowers, and even other detectorists can work against you, so don’t delay!
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!
