Ring Lost In Siesta Key, Recovered By SRARC

Kara was in town from Texas to help out her parents through some medical issues. They went to Siesta Key Beach to enjoy the warm weather for a few hours. Kara removed her wedding ring to apply sunscreen and promptly forgot she had set it in her lap. She stood up, walked around and then to the water’s edge. After returning to her chair she remembered her ring and searched but could not find it. She found the SRARC ring finders on line and soon had Mike Miller headed to meet her at the beach. She lead Mike right to the spot where they had been sitting and after about three swings of the coil up came the ring. She will be smiling all the way back to Texas and SRARC will be smiling with her.

Phone Lost In Siesta Key, Recovered By SRARC

Joe and Judy were down from Nashville, Tennessee spending the winter months at their condo on Siesta Key. As thy were putting away their boat on the lift, Joe leaned over the side and his I-phone slipped out of his pocket and into the sludge at the bottom of the dock. As the news spread at the condo one of their neighbors, who had called SRARC for a lost ring which Mike had recovered in the previous year, told them about our recovery service and they soon found us on the internet. Joe Szemer sent Mike Miller the contact information and he next morning at low tide Mike began the hunt in neck deep water and foot deep bottom muck. After about 15 minutes Mike hit a target but could not retrieve it in his scoop. Changing tactic’s he began pushing his coil under the target and moving it toward the bulk head and shallower water. After several attempts the target stayed on the coil and up came the I-phone. The amazing part is that after 3 days and nights under 6 to 8 feet of salt water all they had to do is clean it up, charge it and it turned right on as if it had never been under water.

Ring Lost In Sarasota, Recovered By SRARC

Jeff took his family to the ballpark in Sarasota to watch his son play baseball. There was a group so he brought chairs and the canopy to protect them from the sun. As she unloaded and set up the equipment he saw his wedding ring fall off and immediately picked it up and put it back on. After the ball game was over he packed everything up and as he was preparing to leave noticed he no longer had his wedding ring. The family all searched but with no luck and Jeff finally contacted the ballpark manager so he could check the lost and found. Manager was aware that SRARC had previously recovered a ring for someone else and gave Jeff our information. Howard Mets posted a call out and Mike Miller responded. Mike met Jeff the following morning at 10:00 AM and searched the area where the ring had possibly been lost. After about 45 minutes Mike got the good tone and uncovered the missing ring. Jeff was overjoyed to have his ring returned and SRARC is ever so happy to have helped someone out once again.

Ring Lost On Siesta Key, Recovered By SRARC

Anne’s father was the captain of a submarine during world war II and while stationed in Australia had found a beautiful sapphire stone which he purchased for his wife. Later, while back on duty one night when he surfaced the submarine to recharge the batteries the crew discovered a pilot who had been shot down and rescued him. A few weeks later when the airman departed the submarine for Pearl Harbor Ann’s father gave him the sapphire with a note of love for his wife and asked him to send it to her just in case he never returned from the war. He did return home safely at the end of the war and at that time he took the diamond from Ann’s mother’s engagement ring and together with another purchased diamond he created a new wedding ring including the sapphire from Australia. Ann inherited her mother’s ring 20 years ago and had worn it ever since. While visiting from Rhode Island she and her son, John and daughter-in-law, Simone went to Siesta key beach to enjoy a sunny warm day. While sitting in the sand Anne took the precious wedding ring off, set it on the chair arm to put suntan lotion on her hands and promptly forgot about it. They packed up and went home none the wiser and a few days later she realized the ring was missing. After checking everywhere at their house and in the car she recalled taking it off at the beach. Simone searched the Internet and discovered SRARC ring finders. She made a call to Howard Metz and Howard contacted Mike Miller and arrangements were made to meet the next morning in hopes of finding the ring. Ann and John identified an area of about 100 square feet and Mike went to work. About an hour later Mike got a sweet tone and up came the ring. Needless to say Ann was overjoyed to have such a precious ring returned after believing it was lost forever.

Ring Lost On Clearwater Beach, Recovered By SRARC

Howard Metts contacted Robert Clarke Sunday evening, January 9th in regards to a lost diamond tennis bracelet in the sand on Clearwater Beach. Robert advised he could respond and contacted Leslie, the owner of the missing tennis bracelet, got her exact location on Clearwater beach and headed that way. Robert met Leslie and her son near Tower 1 on Clearwater beach where she explained while throwing a football around with her family she felt her diamond tennis bracelet come off. They were able to find SRARC and ringfinders thru the internet and called Howard. Smartly, Leslie stayed in the exact spot where she felt the bracelet come off. Robert started detecting at that spot and within one minute got a faint “1” signal on his Nox, took out his pin pointer and on the first sweep, the pin pointer hit the necklace, revealing it in the sand just below the surface. Leslie was overjoyed, crying with happiness, believing she would never see the necklace again and gave Robert a big hug and kiss on the check. Another successful SRARC jewelry recovery!

Ring Lost On Clearwater Beach, Recovered By SRARC

Josh and his brother Luke were down from Canada to visit their cousins. They decided to visit Clearwater Beach, and after a round of football in the water, Josh realized that his custom-made class ring was no longer on his finger! He went to talk to the lifeguard, who provided him with the contact info for the Suncoast Research and Recovery Club, SRARC.com. While Josh kept a close eye on the area of the suspected loss, Bill Gallant and Mike Shuler loaded up and rushed to Clearwater Beach. They met up with Josh, who directed the hunters into the water, which was now shoulder-deep because of the incoming tide. Within 15 minutes, Josh was looking into the sand scoop at the ring he admitted he had very little hope of seeing again! This was the last day of Josh’s visit, so we’re glad SRARC could help him enjoy the rest of his time here, and return home with the ring that means so much to him!

Earring Lost In Tampa, Recovered By SRARC

A’royri was enjoying time with family in the backyard. She was holding her 2-year-old cousin, who unexpectedly pulled out her gold and diamond cluster earring, then dropped it in the grass. The earring set had been given to A’royri by her brother, and was highly sentimental to her. A’royri and her family gridded the backyard with an old Bounty Hunter metal detector from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM with no luck. They were about to give up hope when someone discovered Ringfinders and the Suncoast Research and Recovery Club online. A’royri contacted the SRARC, and club president Howard Metts put out a notice of the loss to club members. The next morning, Howard and club members Bill Gallant and Mike Shuler responded to the home. After about 15 minutes of detecting, the beautiful earring was retrieved from the yard and placed into the hand of a very happy A’royri!
