Five Generation Heirloom Wedding Ring Lost, Found, and Returned in Tampa

Melissa was out putting her beautiful horse Bella through some tough exercises on Tuesday evening and Bella got rebellious and started to buck and act up just a little bit bouncing Melissa around a little more than normal. Prior to riding, Melissa had carefully placed her wedding ring into a pocket for safe keeping. Parts of the ring had belonged to her great-great-great grandmother and had been used through 5 generations of family weddings. It has significant historic value to the entire family.

After finishing her workout with Bella, Melissa washed her down, lead her back to the holding stall and put her away for the night. As she walked away from the stall she reached into her pocket to retrieve her wedding ring. It was not there. Panic immediately set in and Melissa raced around the barn, staging area, and arena frantically looking for her ring. She looked until it was to dark to see anymore then got a flashlight and searched for three more hours. When she finally gave up and returned home she got onto the internet and searched for help or maybe a place to rent a metal detector. She found SRARC Ring Finders, sent an email and then spent a sleepless night waiting to hear back. The next morning she called Mike Miller and they arranged to do a hunt that evening. Mike, Ed Osmar, Mike Shuler, and Mark Sillence all showed up as well as Melissa and her husband Bruce. Melissa explained the events of the previous evening and suggested that the ring was most likely thrown out of her pocket when Bella started her bucking episode. Mike set out small flags across the arena to establish scanning lanes and we all went to work, Mellisa and Bruce scanning by eye and the rest of us scanning with metal detectors. An hour later Mike Shuler held the ring high over his head and shouted “I found it”. We all cheered and Melissa ran over and gave us a big hug. Sadly the ring had been stepped on by a horse and was damaged but it was still in one piece, had all the diamonds and can be repaired. Thanks Mike for your great recovery.

SRARC is overjoyed to have been able to help recover this heirloom for Melissa and Bruce whom we wish to thank for their service in the United States Air Force. We are also extremely happy to have been able to serve you.

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.”

Long Clearwater Beach hunt finds and returns lost wedding ring

While water hunting Sunday afternoon Ed Osmar was approached by a man and asked for help. It seems that he and a friend were playing catch in the water and when he tossed the ball his wedding ring slipped off and was lost in the ocean. After asking where he thought the ring was Ed started hunting and after about an hour got a good signal and recovered the ring. Holding it up I said here it is and Paul and his wife ran through the water toward me. His wife spread her arms to give me a hug and Paul looked at the ring and said that’s not mine, so back to looking some more. Well it took another two hours+ but Paul was reunited with his ring.

Awesome effort Ed, congratulations on another great recovery. Paul and his wife had these kind words for Ed after the recovery.

“Ed, you are the best! After hours and hours of searching you found my lost wedding band in the depths of the Gulf of Mexico! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!”

The picture below pretty much sums up the reason we like to do this service.

Emily and her fiancé Arnab have been engaged for 3 weeks and while at the beach Emily took her ring off and put it in the pocket of her shorts under a cabana while she went in the water. After putting on her shorts she realized that her ring was missing and they started searching through the sand and could not find her ring. Arnab told her not to be so upset, the ring was insured and could be replaced. Emily told him that she wanted the ring that he had put on her finger. She contacted Tom Jones to ask for help locating the ring. Tom headed immediately out to Treasure Island with his detector. Upon arriving he met Arnab at the cabana who told him that they had found the ring just a couple of minutes before he had showed up. While waiting for Tom, Arnab was kicking the sand and saw the ring fly out. The couple thanked Tom for being available to help and told him that they had learned a lot that day.

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

While on vacation at Clearwater Beach and playing with his three year old son, Josh realized his wedding ring was missing. With the help of friends, the beach was searched for the ring but it could not be found. After telling his wife the ring was lost and that the insurance purchased on the ring did not cover the loss, he was about to call his home owners insurance but happened to call his parents first. His parents live in Ohio and happened to see a recent story on Channel 12 out of Cincinnati about how a group called The Ring Finders had recovered a lost ring for a couple from Ohio vacationing at Clearwater beach just a few weeks earlier and suggested Jose contact that group. The rest is history, he called The SRARC Ring Finders group and they sent help that just happened to be the very same person that who had found the ring in the Channel 12 story. Another happy ending and great recovery By Ed Osmar. Way to keep the smiles coming Ed !!!!!!!!!

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.

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

Michelle and her husband were enjoying a game of catch at the edge of the water last Sunday.  Michelle went to catch the ball and it knocked both of her rings off her finger.  She had just got the rings 2 months earlier as a gift from her husband for 20 years of marriage.  After a few days of fretting over the lost rings and thinking she could never enjoy her favorite beach again knowing her rings were lost there, Michelle googled lost rings and found SRARC on our Ring Finders page and sent an email.  Stan Flack sent an email and began communication, passing off the gathering of detailed information to Mike Miller as Stan was out of town at the time.  A hunt date was set for that evening.  Stan Flack, Chris Duerden, and Jim Adams all joined in the hunt.  The team began to cover the areas Michelle indicated and after a short while Michelle directed the team slightly more south.  After about 45 minutes of Hunting, Stan Flack scooped up the wedding band.  A very excited Michelle came out to get the band while Stan swept near and scooped up the other ring.  Smiles and squeals of delight ensued.  The return of peoples lost rings never gets old. Nice job team SRARC you just keep the smiles coming.
