Amanda was visiting Clearwater Beach with her parents and placed her gold ring from her grandmother and silver wedding ring in a cup holder on the beach chair for safekeeping.

Dimitur Alipiev, Gary Leland, and Howard Metts met Amanda and her father on the beach the day they called which was 2 days after the rings were lost. After an hour Howard came up with the gold ring and unfortunately after another hour of hunting the wedding ring was not found.

Ring Lost On Holmes Beach, Recovered By SRARC

Tiffany & Michael were down to Anna Maria Island from Connecticut for some fun and sun. They set up their area on Holmes Beach and Tiffany remembered she was wearing a very special ring so decided to protect it by tying it to one of the strings on her string bikini. During the day they ran around in the sand and tossed a football back and forth before going into the water to cool down. After returning to their area after cooling off, Tiffany noticed that her ring was no longer on her bikini. The area they had been in throughout the day was so large that it was impossible to search. They mentioned to a gentleman on beach named Bill what had happened. Bill suggested that they call SRARC ring finders. Joe Szemer got the call and contacted Mike Miller to see if he could respond quickly as the couple was going to leave in a short while. Mike headed down to the beach immediately and arrived just as they were leaving. Michael took Mike out to show him the area they thought he should hunt and then they left to return to Tampa. As Mike setup to begin the hunt, Bill came over and said he had been watching them the whole time they were there and that he should hunt in a completely different area than Michael had laid out. Since the area where the ring might have been lost (about the size of a football field) Mike went with what Bill suggested was the area they were most active in. After choosing to do the upper area first and having no luck Mike moved back to the middle and began the search of the lower area. After two sweeps the sweet sound of gold popped into Mike’s ears and sure enough there it was. Since Michael and Tiffany were already headed for return to Connecticut Mike will be returning the ring via USPS and is sure Tiffany will have a great big smile on her face when she opens the package. Thank you so much to Bill for putting Mike on the right track to finding the ring, without your help Mike would have never found the ring.

As they were standing on the shore right next to where the surf was washing up onto their feet Bobby realized his wedding ring was a little loose and want to secure it up where their beach camp was. He tried pulling it off but just couldn’t seem to get it to budge. He asked Gage to help him by pulling on it and then off it came and fell into the surf and disappeared immediately.

He was so surprised that he looked at his wife and said “he already found it”. The whole family had nothing but Big Smiles after that. It is always a pleasure to return an item with such a large personal value to the owner. Another vacation tragedy averted and turned into a great memory.

Ring Lost On Longboat Key, Recovered BY SRARC

Amy was down from Boston on Longboat Key to join a few friends for a few days in the sun and water. The group was playing in the water throwing a football around for a while and then they spotted a school of fish a little way down the beach trapped in a sand pool above the gulf. They wanted to rescue them so they dug a trench thru the sand and helped them return to the gulf. It had been a great day until Amy realized a very special ring that had been passed down to her was missing. Her great grandfather had gifted her great grandmother a gold ring on one of their anniversary’s. Then Amy’s grandfather had passed the ring on to her to keep it close in the family. They all searched but had no luck and then Amy found SRARC ring finders using Google. She contacted Joe Szemer who called Mike Miller who made arrangements for both of them to do a search. They met Amy and got all the particulars then split up to hunt in different areas. They tried the dry and wet sand first but finally had to get into the rough surf. After about 10 minutes Mike got lucky in thigh deep water and up came the ring. Amy was so excited that she gave Mike a big hug and was in disbelief that we had actually fount it. SRARC is very happy we could recover the keepsake items for Amy.

Earring Lost On Longboat Key, Recovered BY SRARC

Erin was down from Maryland with her husband and friends on Longboat Key for a winter break. They had packed up and headed to the beach for a nice day in the sun. As they were setting their chairs and umbrella up Erin caught a piece of the umbrella in one of her earrings. She wrestled with it for a few seconds and then felt the earring come off so she finished putting the umbrella in place thinking she would find her earring after things were all setup. When she finished she started looking for the earring and found nothing. The group spent the next three hours searching the area around the umbrella. They finally gave up and spent some time enjoying the beach. After returning to their rental unit Erin searched the internet for a rental metal detector. In the search SRARC ring finders popped up and she thought that she would be smart to let an experienced detectorist search instead of trying herself. She contacted Joe Szemer who contacted Mike Miller who then made arrangements to meet Erin at the location. After about 1 minute of hunting Mike found the earring and returned it to a smiling but disbelieving Erin. They all cheered and smiled but could not believe it was found so fast after they searched for so long. SRARC is happy to be able to send Erin home with her special earring and not with just a sad story about a lost earring.

Ring Lost In Bradenton, Recovered BY SRARC

Scott and Crystal from Bradenton were in a heated debate and in a fit of craziness Scott jumped up ran out the door and from the 4th floor balcony threw his wedding ring as far as he could. After thinking it over for an hour or so he decided it would be a good idea to go try and find it. He figured it had landed in a large grass area so went and purchased a metal detector to assist in the hunt. He hunted for a couple days and found many interesting pieces of junk but not the ring. They contacted SRARC through The Ring Finders web site and Joe Szemer passed the info on to Mike Miller. Mike made arrangements to meet them at the location and a short time later the hunt was on. While Scott was looking with his detector he had identified several locations he thought the ring might be in. He had ordered but had not received a pin pointer so he could check them out. He took Mike to each place and Mike said no to all but the last one. That one had a great tone and VDI. Mike put his pin pointer down and there it was. Mike got a big hug from Scott and lots of smiles from both Crystal and Scott. But the truth be told, had Scott received his pin pointer before Mike showed up he would have found it himself. Turns out Mike was just an assist. Congratulations Scott on your first ever recovery.

Ring Lost In Lakewood Ranch, Recovered BY SRARC

Bob was down from Virginia in Lakewood Ranch visiting with his daughter, her husband, and his grandchildren and to help with the hurricane Ian cleanup in their yard. Before going to work he wrapped his two rings in his handkerchief so they would not be lost. Sometime during the work process he pulled the handkerchief from his pocket to blow his nose. His rings went flying away and were lost out in the grass. The family searched in the general area for over an hour but could never find them. Bob returned to Virginia and some time later found the SRARC ring finders and contacted Joe Szemer. Joe contacted Mike Miller and arrangements were made for Mike to do a search in the area where the rings were lost. Mike searched for about an hour before he got the hit and found the two rings side by side under the grass. When Bob heard from his daughter both rings had been found he was all smiles. Always a pleasure for us at SRARC to see the smiles when lost items are returned.
