Heirloom Engagement Ring Lost, Found, and Returned at Pass-A-Grille Beach, Florida

John, Christine and their family were visiting from Stone Mountain, Georgia. Sunday afternoon they were enjoying a day on the beach, Christine was in the water throwing a football when she felt her ring come off. She screamed out that she had lost her ring. Her daughter saw the ring fly through the air and into the water.
The ring she had just lost was a family heirloom that John had given here upon their engagement. The whole family and and friends started searching frantically for the ring but to no avail. John decided to search for professional help and his google search led him to theringfinders.com website and eventually to SRARC. He called Tom Jones and asked for help. Tom called Joe Szemer and immediately headed out to the beach. Upon arrival they met up with John, Tom headed to the beach with a detector and Joe stared the arduous task of finding a parking spot.
Tom went into the water with John and Christine to the location that they felt the ring should be. Tom told Christine to stand in that spot and not move so he could use her as a reference point. He circled around her and John and gridded the area first east and west then north and south. After 30 minutes Joe finally enters the water to start hunting as he is searching his way out toward Christine, Tom noticed Christine heading to the beach with her head down and her face in her hands. As she walked away Joe moved into the spot she was standing and got a target. After a couple of scoops he looked up at John and asked “What does the ring look like?” It was in his scoop. A scream was let out and everyone came running out into the water.

Wedding Ring Lost at Beach Ceremony, Found and Returned Just in Time on Pass A Grille Beach

Scott and Tracy planned a beautiful wedding at sunset on Pass A Grille beach. Everything was setup and almost ready to go when Scott was walking across the boardwalk to the beach. As he was walking across the sand he felt strange and thought he heard something hit the sand. He stopped and checked everything he had been carrying and discovered he no longer had the wedding ring. Everyone rushed over to look but had no luck finding the ring. The wedding planner quickly informed them he knew of a group that could help. He contacted Stan Flack of SRARC Ring Finders who passed him on to Mike Miller. Mike said he could come right over but it was getting late and the sun would soon be down so they decided to go on with the ceremony without the ring.

By the time Mike got there the ceremony was over but the bride and groom were still at the alter. Mike went right to work and within 5 minutes he found the ring. Everyone was relieved and the ring was rushed over to the couple and it was just in time for Tracy to slip the wedding ring onto Scotts finger.

SRARC is so happy to have been able to recover and return this ring. We wish the happy couple all the best in their future.

Wedding Ring Lost then Found and Returned at Tierra Verde Fishing Spot

Nick came down from Ocala with his Dad, Brother, and Father-in-law to fish in honor of his recently lost Aunt whom had fished many times with his father in this very spot over the last thirty years. After fishing for a short time, Nick hooked a nice Red fish and while unhooking it got stabbed with a fin. As he jerked his hand away, off flew his wedding ring. He has only been married for 5 months and he could not imagine how he was going to explain not having a wedding ring to his new wife. They had been fishing in about waist deep water and had the foresight to mark the spot where the ring came off with a stick stuck into the grassy bottom. They all searched for about an hour before realizing that they were not going to find it.

Nick got out of the water and did a search on his smart phone for lost wedding rings in St Petersburg. SRARC Ring Finders Recovery Service popped up right away and he called the numbers listed and Mike Miller soon responded. Mike put out a quick request to the team members and headed for Nick’s location. Mike and Jeffery Miller both arrived about the same time and began the search. It only took a few minutes for Mike to locate and recover the ring. It was within three feet of where the stick had been pushed into the bottom.

Nick was extremely happy to get his ring back and relieved that he was not going to have to explain a lost wedding ring to his wife. SRARC wishes them both many happy years together.

Family Heirloom Ruby Ring Lost, Found, and Returned on Pass A Grille Beach, Florida

Austin and his mother were visiting his brother in Florida from Flint, Michigan. They all went to Pass A Grille and set up a canopy near the water for a fun day at the beach. Shortly after arriving they went into the water and as they enjoyed the warm gulf water temperature, Austin sat down in about neck deep water. As he was sitting he felt a shell in the sand, picked it up and threw it toward the shore. As the shell headed to shore so did Austin’s precious ruby ring. They all searched for hours but with no luck.

The ring was his grandfathers which was given to his grandfather by his grandfathers mother when he had turned 18. His grandfather wore the ring everyday of his life until he chipped the original ruby. At that time, one of his daughters (Austin’s Aunt) had the ruby replaced for him and he put the ring back on and wore it for the rest of his life. The Family is not sure what the significance of the ring was but they do know that both of his parents had worn ruby rings.

For Austin’s 18th birthday just last July his grandmother gave him the ring as a birthday present. Not only is the ring significant in his families history it is also Austin’s birthstone. The ring is approximately 61 years old.

About 8 days after he lost it, Austin found SRARC Ring Finders and contacted Tom Jones. A hunt date was established and Paul Hill, Ed Osmar, Dimitur Alipiev, Mark Sillence, Howard Metts, Jeffery Miller, Mike Miller, and Bill Gallant showed up for the hunt. 13 minutes later Bill held up the ring and said “I think I found it”. Awesome job Bill and a big “Thank You” to all who helped on this recovery. SRARC is very happy to have been a part in returning this important piece of history to Austin’s family.

Ring Lost at Pass A Grille Beach Found and Returned

Tony and Tammy were visiting from Michigan and staying at the Don Cesar Resort in St Pete Beach. While out playing in the water, Tammy lost her ring. After looking as long as they could they retired to their room where she spent a sleepless night thinking that she would never see her beloved ring again. Tony assured her that the ring was insured and could be replaced. She didn’t want another one, she wanted hers back. This ring is very special, Tony had given it to her after the birth of their daughter. He came into the hospital room and told Tammy that she had given him something very special and he wanted to give her something special and presented her the ring.
The next morning Tony contacted SRARC and talked to Tom Jones asking for help hopeful that someone could find the ring. A hunt was scheduled at 5:00 that afternoon. Tom, Joe Szemer, Mike Miller, Mark Sillence and Wayne Cree arrived and after meeting up with Tony started hunting. 30 minutes into the hunt Joe Szemer, who had moved into shallower water and out of the hunt area waved Tom Jones over and asked, “is this the ring?” Tom said I think so and took the ring. Joe said to him as he walked off, “if that’s not it I want it back”. Tom made his way back to where Tammy was and found her with a dive mask and her head under the water. He walked over to where she was at and put his hand with her ring on his finger under the water in front of her mask. Tammy’s head came quickly out of the water and said, “Oh, my ring. You found it.” Tony came over and was so happy that he wanted to personally hug everyone that had helped look for the ring.
Tammy told the group later. “I told him even if the insurance pays for it and you get another one, I WON’T WEAR IT.”

Lost Wedding Ring Found and Returned on Madeira Beach, Florida

Garrett and his wife Kristin were spending the weekend on Madeira Beach with her two brothers and their families. They had all decided to do a special trip to the beach celebrating Kristin’s niece’s birthday. Saturday afternoon Garrett and his brothers in law were tossing a football in the water when his wedding ring came off his finger and he watched it drop in the water and disappear in the sand below. He and Kristin were married in March and now the ring is gone just 4 months later. Kristin’s niece asked them if they were still married now that the ring was gone. They reassured her “yes we are still married”.

Jonathan, Garrett’s brother in law started a Google search to rent a metal detector and contacted Phil Myer of Myers of Myers Detector Depot. Phil told him to contact SRARC and they would come out and search for it. Jonathan contacted Tom Jones who was having lunch at the time with Joe Szemer on Treasure Island. After lunch the two headed up to Madeira Beach and met up with the family. After getting the details Joe and Tom started searching. The hunt went on for 45 minutes and neither hunter had found a single target, much less the ring. Tom started hunting a pattern up and down the beach moving closer to the water line each time thinking that the tide was going out and waist deep water at noon could be knee deep by 2:30. Finally a good target was heard and the ring appeared in Tom’s scoop. The whole family ran over the see the ring, amazed that it could even be found.

Before saying goodbye, Tom gave them his normal newlywed speech.

“Remember this day for the rest of your married life. If a time comes when things get tough, remember back to this day and realize that nothing is impossible”.

Wedding Ring lost and Found then Returned on St Pete Beach, Florida

Jim and Mary Beth down from North Dakota were married the evening before in front of the Sirata Hotel on St Pete Beach. The next afternoon Jim was playing paddle ball with some family members and suddenly realized he no longer had his brand new wedding ring on his finger. A large group of family members were staying at the hotel and they all searched diligently but could not find it. One of the family members stopped a passing beach patrol officer and was told to try and contact SRARC. She called the number immediately and Mike Miller answered. He and his son Jeffery were just a few miles away at Madeira Beach and headed right down to the Sirata.

Most of the family met them there and explained where Jim had spent most of his time which was a very small area of about 30 by 30 sq. feet. Mike and Jeffery went right to work from both ends of the area. In about 5 minutes Mike got a good hit and up came the ring. It was a great feeling when the whole family cheered as Jim put his wedding ring back onto the finger it belongs on. Lots of smiles and back patting ended the event. We are so happy we could keep this wedding experience a great memory.

Wedding Ring Lost and Found, Then Returned on Pass-A-Grille Beach, Florida

Anthony and Ryan were down from Pittsburg visiting friends on Pass-A-Grille Beach just in time to experience Tropical Storm Colin. On Monday, June 6, Anthony noticed the Bimini top on the pontoon boat behind the house where they were staying was starting to blow off. He went out in the wind and rain to remove the top and inadvertently his wedding band fell off his finger and into the water between the dock and the boat. Thinking that it was gone forever he contacted some friends looking for suggestions on how to get his ring back.

One of his friends has a friend that is a member of Treasure Net Forum who contacted Stan Flack to try and locate the ring. Stan went out on Thursday and hunted for a short while and decided to try the search when the tide went out later that evening. He contacted Tom Jones to do another hunt at low tide.

Friday evening Tom and Joe Szemer went to the site to perform a second hunt. Just like most docks there was a lot of trash on the bottom. After 30 minutes and recovering everything from bolts to electric motor parts Tom moved under the boat motor and got a good target. When his scoop surfaced the ring was laying on the top of the ball of mud. Tom yelled out, “I got it”. Everyone on the dock ran over to watch Tom hand the ring up to Anthony.

Thanks again to the Ringfinders Group of SRARC, another couple will be headed back home with a great story and not a sad memory.

Wedding Ring Lost and Found, then Returned on Madeira Beach, Florida

Jim was at the beach enjoying the day with his family.  He decided to go for a swim and took his ring off for safe keeping, placing it on the beach bag where they had set up.  When he got out someone had moved the bag and the ring was gone.  The family tried sifting the sand for an hour or so making 2 large piles of sifted sand and then gave up.   Not wanting to give up,  Jim’s daughter Chris googled metal detectors and came across the ring finders page where she found SRARC.  Chris called Tom Jones who then passed the information on to team member Stan Flack who was already out hunting in the area.  Stan made his way to Chris at the beach and started hunting the area the family had circled, no ring.  Then Stan knocked down sift pile #1, no ring.  On to sift pile #2, bingo to the delight of one bag moving daughter (shhh).  Chris called her dad down to the beach to share the news and smiles all the way around.
