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.

Gold Pendant Lost At Osceola High School, Recovered By SRARC

Tanner was tackled during football practice and his gold chain broke dropping a custom made pendant his grandfather had made for him in the image of a football helmet. His father Jeremy found our SRARC site and contacted Howard Metts who set up a hunt the next day. Dimitur Alipiev, Gary Leyland, and Howard Metts reported to the hunt on the field after Jeremy got permission from the football coach. Fifteen minutes into the hunt, Howard came up with the gold pendant. Tanner and his parents were happy to see the pendant again and grateful to our hunters. Great job team SRARC!

Ring Lost On Anna Maria Island, Recovered By SRARC

Jerzy was down with his family while his son was attending IMG Academy soccer camp. They decided to stay a few extra days to enjoy time on Anna Maria Island at the beach and in the Gulf of Mexico. Jerzy was out in about knee deep water tossing a ball with his son when he felt sand under his wedding ring. He stopped tossing the ball and spun the ring on his finger and pushed it to his knuckle to rinse the sand off. His son then tossed him the ball and when the ball hit his hand off went his ring. They looked for the ring but as we all know it is almost impossible to find it once it hits the sand. Jerzy found SRARC ring finders with Google and soon Mike Miller was in contact and went to meet him at the beach. Jerzy showed Mike the area where he had lost it but the water was to rough for a safe hunt so Mike said he would return when the tide was right and the water was calmer. Mike returned a few days later and hunted for three hours and had no luck. Still waiting for a good tide Mike returned a couple days later and finally had calm water. Two hours into the hunt the ring finally revealed itself. When Mike texted Jerzy a picture of his ring he was overjoyed. Since Jerzy and family have returned home it will be a few days until he can put it back on his finger and I’m sure when he opens the package he will have a huge smile on his face. It is always such a pleasure to return an item the owner thought was gone forever.

Ring Lost On Anna Maria Island, Recovered BY SRARC

At their wedding on Anna Maria Island, Daniel was preparing to slide the wedding ring onto Emily’s ring finger when disaster struck. In preparation for receiving the ring Emily had removed her engagement ring and slipped it on to end of her little finger. As Daniel started to put the wedding onto her finger Emily’s reaction caused her to flip her little finger and off flew the engagement ring and disappeared into the sand as well. They quickly found the wedding ring and the ceremony continued. Later the whole wedding party searched but the engagement ring could not be found. Someone found SRARC ring finders online and contacted Joe Szemer. Joe called Mike Miller who responded immediately and headed for the wedding location on the beach. When Mike arrived the wedding party had left for the reception and there was another metal detectorist searching the area because someone who had been there when the ring was lost called him over when she saw him coming down the beach. They both searched for about 5 minutes and then the other detectorist found the ring. The Grooms brother (Matt) had called Mike earlier and requested that the he call him instead of the bride if the ring was found so he could surprise them at the reception. Mike was going to drive right by the reception on his way home so the other detectorist kindly gave Mike the ring so it could be delivered. Mike arrived about an hour later and called Matt to come to the parking area to get the ring. Matt had a master plan to  present the ring to the Bride and Groom and invited Mike in to watch. Matt got the microphone and called his brother to center stage. He then talked a little about the catastrophe at the wedding and then open the box and gave the ring to his brother. Daniel called Emily up and got down on one knee and slipped the ring back onto her finger. The crowd was cheering and everyone was smiling from ear to ear. SRARC wants to wish the Bride and Groom the best for their future life together. We always like to be a smiling part to a happy ending.

Ring Lost On St. Pete Beach, Recovered BY SRARC

Last Saturday in St. Pete I lost my wedding band and engagement ring in the sand when I took it off to put sunscreen on the girls faces. I was forgetful and stood up before I put them back on and within five minutes had realized they were gone.

We dug in the sand and searched for them with no luck. We headed home Sunday and with that any hope of ever seeing them again was gone. My wonderful husband went out of his way to find this amazing non-profit who will go out and search for peoples missing important possessions. Javi sent them a picture of my rings and a overhead view of the beach he shot with his drone the day before specifying where we were sitting…

Y’all they found my rings!

Thank you so so much Srarc!!

I am so grateful and just a complete puddle over how good people are.

Ring Lost On Anna Maria Island, Recovered BY SRARC

Bo and Erica were down from Seattle visiting with family on Anna Maria Island. They all headed out to the beach to spend some time in the sun and surf. After setting up a space on the sand Bo decided he wanted to go for a swim. He took off his shoes and just to be safe he put his wedding ring into one of the shoes. A few hours later they were all packing up to leave and Bo grabbed his shoes and shook the sand out of them before putting them back on. He then suddenly remembered his ring had been in the shoe and was now gone. They all searched but no luck and then Erica found the ring finders and eventually contacted Howard Metts. They needed someone to come right away as they were leaving at 4:00 am the next morning. Howard contacted Mike Miller who responded immediately with his visiting daughter Kimberly and they met Bo at the beach location. Bo defined an area and Mike went to work. In about 5 minutes Mike got the hit and up came the lost wedding ring. Bo was overjoyed and Mike was all smiles to be able to return the ring. Kimberly did the photographs in which you can see how happy Bo was. All the best to Bo and Erica on their return to Seattle.
