    Ring Lost On Passage Key, Recovered By SRARC

    Rachel and John were down from Ocala for a short weekend break on Anna Maria Island. They had their boat with them and headed out to Passage Key to catch some sun and water time. They pulled up on the North end of the key, anchored, and jumped out of the boat to hit the beach. Then they saw the sign that designated the whole island a preserve where you are not allowed onto the beach. They backed into the water and began tossing a football back and forth. They had become engaged just one year earlier and the ring had still not been sized correctly. Well just as you may have guessed, the ring flew off Rachel’s hand as the ball hit it. They frantically searched for several hours but to no avail. Their heads hung down they returned to their rental unit and spent a sad evening and restless night worrying about the loss. The next morning Rachel found SRARC on Google and contacted them. Mike Miller responded and set up a hunt for later that day. Mike met them and Rachel’s brother Kyle at their rental and they all headed out in the boat for the recovery mission. As they anchored the boat, Mike was looking around and much to his surprise discovered all the people around them were naked!!!!!!! He quickly jumped out of the boat thinking “I wonder what it is like to metal detect naked”, but quickly put his head down and went to work. As he worked Mike was thinking “Wow I wonder if they were throwing the football naked”. After a short time they made it clear that they were just as surprised the day before and had anchored as far away from the nudies as possible. Mike searched for about three hours and was getting close to calling it a day when he heard the sweet sound of platinum. When he dug the target, up came a beautiful 2 caret diamond ring. He turned to look at the boat where the others were listening to the Buck’s game and saw that Rachel was watching him. As Mike started walking toward the boat Rachel’s heart sunk for a moment thinking that he was done hunting, but then she yelled “did you find it” and Mike nodded his head yes. Mike has never seen two people get off a boat and into the water so fast. John and Rachel both raced toward him and he could see nothing but great big smiles on their faces. Mike got lots of hugs and smiles which is why we do this small service. SRARC wants to wish John and Rachel nothing but the best for their future life together. It was our pleasure to make their last night on their short break a happy one.

    Ring Lost On Clearwater Beach Recovered By SRARC

    Jordan and Lindsay were visiting Clearwater Beach while on their vacation from Kansas City. Before running into the surf, Jordan removed his platinum wedding band and carefully folded it into his shirt. When it was time to leave Jordan gathered his belongings and headed off the beach. It wasn’t long before he realized his ring was missing, and hours of digging through the sand where his cabana had been proved fruitless. Randy Cooper (Jordan’s father in-law)found the SRARC website and shared it with Jordan and Lindsay, who quickly contacted Joe Szemer. Joe put out the call to the Ringfinders, and Mike Shuler and Bill Gallant met with Jordan at the site about an hour later. Jordan had wisely outlined the area of the loss in the sand, and in less than five minutes, an emotional Jordan was wearing his ring again!

    Lost Ring Anna Maria Island

    Jeff and Debbie came down to the gulf coast from central Florida for a quick break before the start of the college school year. Jeff is a professor of accounting at College of Central Florida and wanted to start the new year rested and ready to hit it hard. One afternoon they decided to go out to Bean Point to enjoy the sun and gulf. They set up their chairs and prepared for the intense sun buy applying suntan lotion. Debbie removed her rings and dropped them into the cup built into her chair. She applied her lotion and promptly forgot about her rings. When it came time to leave they folded everything up and headed for the pickup. Later that night as Debbie was laying in bed she panicked when realized her rings were not on her fingers and a sleepless night followed. The next morning, they returned to search but had no luck. They googled “lost ring Anna Maria” and SRARC Ring Finders popped up. They contacted us and soon a hunt was organized, and Mike Miller met them at the site. Jeff laid out where he thought they were sitting and in less than two minutes the rings were back onto Debbie’s fingers.  There were lots of smiles and hugs and Mike even got a “I love you” from Debbie. After a sleepless night they can return to relaxing without a gloom and doom cloud over their vacation. It was a great pleasure to see the smiles return to Jeff and Debbie’s faces.

    Lost Wedding Set Recovered on Anna Maria Island

    Keith, Karen and their two children Charlie and Katie came from North London to visit friends and hang out on Anna Maria Island for a couple weeks. On one of our hot summer days Karen needed to cool down so she waded out into the gulf to about waist high water. She spent a little while out there with her children playing a little and she tossed a ball once or twice. She dipped down and then went into shore again. Just before reaching the shore she sat down in the ripples, put her hands back behind her and leaned back on them. After setting there a while she got up and went up to their chairs on the beach where she reached for a towel. At that moment she realized that her wedding ring set was gone. They all looked for some time in the area of water where she had been setting. After finding nothing their friend Tracy googled about lost rings and found SRARC Ring Finders. Keith then contacted Howard Metts who contacted Mike Miller and a hunt was scheduled. After hunting the area where Karen thought she lost her rings Mike spread out into deeper water and after about an hour a good hit proved to be her wedding ring. Mike continued to hunt and then returned the next day but could not find the engagement ring. Mike then reached out for some additional help and returned a couple of days later with Paul Hill and Carl Boekemier. They hunted about three more hours but sadly never found the engagement ring. We are sad that we could not return Karen’s engagement but feel good about at least letting her return to London wearing her wedding ring. It was a pleasure to meet the whole family and we wish them a safe and pleasant trip home.

    Ring Lost on Anna Maria Island is Recovered by SRARC

    Patrick, Erika and children along with Erika’s parents were down from Ohio for a nice break before school begins. They were having a great time as this was their first stay on Anna Maria Island and they fell in love with the area. Midway through their week here, Patrick was in waist deep water tossing a ball back and forth to Erika who was up on the beach. For some reason Patrick reached over and felt for his wedding ring. It was gone!!!!!!! They search with dive masks for hours but had no luck. They decided to contact the various agency’s in the area to report that it was missing and in the process Patrick googled “lost Ring Anna Maria Island”. When he saw SRARC ring finders he clicked on the site and discovered we would come look for the ring. He contacted Howard Metts and the information was passed on to Mike Miller. Mike scheduled a hunt and met the family and Carl Boekemier at the location. Patrick was able to narrow the area we needed to search and after about 15 minutes Carl got the hit. The whole family was around us when Carl pushed his scoop toward Patrick and with a great big smile on his face Patrick reached in and grabbed his ring. Erika yelled let me see, and when she saw the ring her face turned into a great big grin. Their son had been hunting the beach for treasure and was finding mostly bottle caps with a few coins mixed in. Carl let him use his detector for a few minutes and to listen to what a gold ring sounded like. I think we might have inspired a budding young metal detectorist. Patrick told me after his experience with us he intends to encourage his son to pursue the hobby. That makes SRARC break out into a great big smile. Our best to the family on returning home with a fond memory of our area.

    Lost Ring Longboat Key, Recovered By SRARC

    Carlos and family joined the extended family for a reunion on Longboat Key this week. They were enjoying the day on the beach and in the early afternoon decided to toss a football around in the water. As Carlos tossed the ball he saw his wedding ring fly off his finger and disappear into the gulf. The whole family searched for a couple hours but could not find it. After giving up the search they all  came together at a local restaurant for dinner. Harold, Carlos’s uncle, started asking the waiters if there was someone local that had a metal detector. They soon learned about SRARC ring finders and Harold found us on the internet and called. A meet was setup for the following morning and Mike Miller showed up to try his luck. Carlos knew right where it came off and after a few minutes of hunting up came the ring. It was soon returned to Carlos’s finger amid lots of cheers and smiles. It’s always a great feeling when we get to return a precious item to the owner.

    Ring Lost is Recovered by SRARC

    Last year we had a very successful recovery where we returned 5 rings and two watches out of one yard. A year later, Renee called us back after being absent from her home for a few months and discovering on her return that several jewelry items were missing. She was hoping that they had been thrown into the yard again. Mike Miller and Carl Boekemier hunted for several hours and determined that none of the missing items were in the yard. We did recover one Man’s wedding ring which had ben lost years earlier. Now we can say we recovered 6 rings and 2 watches from the same yard. We also want to wish Renee good luck on finding her missing items one of which was the Rolex watch we recovered on our first hunt.

    Rick was playing league volleyball with his team at the Rec Dec Sports Club in St Pete.  In between games, he noticed that the ring he’d been wearing for 20 years was not on his finger!  Rick and about 30 other players were soon on their hands and knees, sifting through the sand to no avail. The next day, Rick discovered The Ringfinders on the Internet and contacted Joe Szemer. Joe put out a notification, and Mike and Mary Shuler responded.  They met with the Rec Dec staff, who were aware of the situation and welcomed the recovery attempt. At the end of the first pass along the net, Mike had the ring in his scoop!  The ring was left with staff, and was collected by its happy owner soon afterward.
