Jeff from the Miami area joined his friend John and other family members on Anna Maria Island to relax during the current voluntary isolation recommendations. Jeff and John were out in about waist deep water rough housing and as they made some fast movements Jeff saw his ring come off and disappear into the gulf waters. He and John got some digging sieves and tried to find it, but they had no luck. After returning to their house Jeff posted what had happened on Facebook and soon after a friend recommended, he should contact SRARC. He called Joe Szemer and Joe put a callout request to the members. Mike Miller responded and made arrangements to meet Jeff on next morning. They meet at 8:00 am and by 8:15 am Jeff was wearing his ring again. It was a great pleasure to see the astonishment and joy on Jeff’s face when Mike handed him the ring.

Bean Point, Anna Maria Island Lost Ring

Jon and family were down from Ohio for another vacation at their favorite spot on Bean Point, Anna Maria Island. Last year in November they were in the same area and Jon lost his wedding ring. This year he was being careful and took his new ring off and put on their blanket. After a few hours enjoying the beach they returned to the blanket, packed up their things and shook the sand out of the blanket. Oh no they forgot about his ring and now he had lost another wedding ring to the sands of Anna Maria Island. On returning home to Ohio, Jon found SRARC on the web and contacted us on the outside chance someone had found his ring. He provided a Google Earth map with approximate locations for both rings. Mike got the call and thought it was a long shot but decided to try for the recently lost ring anyway. Apparently Jon is a darn good guesser because after getting a few more details Mike was able to recover his ring in about 5 minutes. Mike is wondering if the second ring will be so easy. All our best to Jon for the return of his ring.

Ken, Trudy, and daughter Monroe were down from up state New York for a little spring break. They went to the beach across the road from there hotel on Coquina Beach to enjoy a swim in the gulf. There were lots of swells so Ken took Monroe out into deeper water and began tossing her into the air and catching her. After returning to the beach he noticed his wedding ring was missing. They thought it was gone forever but then found SRARC on the internet. He contacted us and made arrangements to meet at the location. Mike arrived knowing it was to rough to hunt but wanted to get the details in case they need to leave before we could hunt. Once the gulf settled down, Mike called Ken and they met at the beach again. With Ken directing him to the most likely area it was lost the hunt began.

near the property line between her house and the empty lot next door. Bill and I geared up and began checking the area. Within 10 minutes of detecting the area of the property line

I picked up a very strong surface signal, and using my pin pointer, located Mrs. Harris’ ring under the leaves, in the grass.

Mrs Harris was ecstatic over us finding the ring and was beaming ear to ear.
