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, Found and Returned at Clearwater Beach, Florida

Marco and his wife were in town from Miami vacationing in St. Petersburg when they decided to spend the day at Clearwater Beach. Marco was doing some digging in the sand and decided that it would be best to give his wife his wedding ring for safe keeping. She put the ring in their beach bag and they went about enjoying the beach until a storm swept in rapidly and they were forced to leave the beach in a hurry. When they got to the car, they discovered Marco’s ring was missing. Fortunately for Marco, the valet at the Hyatt is very aware of the SRARC’s ring finder team and told Marco’s to call on them. Marco called Tom jones who passed on to team member Stan Flack to see if we could locate the ring. By now it was dark so with Marco and his wife leaving the next day, Stan suggested a very early morning hunt and the two met on Clearwater beach at 6 a.m. Unfortunately the place marker Marco had left of where they had been was now gone, but a few clues were still there including Marco’s eye for detail on a few beach trash items he remembered seeing. A little daylight, a little deducing on a path of travel, and a dash of luck and Stan had the ring in his scoop in about 20 minutes. A stunned Marco was very happy to have his ring back with smiles and high fives all the way around.

The whole family went in the water looking for the ring. Ron and Mercy had planned to stay at Siesta for the whole week until Mercy’s sister injured herself and had to be taken back to Miami. Losing the ring and having to leave it behind broke Ron’s heart and also their daughter who was afraid that the ring was gone and her parents would no longer be married. Mercy reassured her that they were still married.

Upon returning to Miami Mercy found theringfinders.com on the internet and contacted Tom Jones on July 7^th and scheduled a hunt for July 8. Tom, Mike Miller, Mike Shuler, Ed Osmar and Mark Sillence arrived at the beach and started hunting for the ring. After searching the area where the ring was lost with no results, Ed and Mark moved to the gulf side of the sand bar. Not long after Ed yells out, “is this it?” Tom took the ring and read the date 02/14/97 which was Ron and Mercy’s wedding date. Tom called her on facetime to give the good news and be able to see her face when she saw the ring. She was over joyed when she heard that the ring had actually been found.

Elizabeth, her husband Jonas and son Elias are on holiday from Helsingborg Sweden and ready to enjoy all that Florida has to offer. The water was warm and welcoming as Elizabeth swished her hands in the clear blue Gulf of Mexico. As she lifted her hands up she realized that the ring her husband had gotten in Thailand and given to her 16 years ago was gone. Heartbroken, they searched for hours with no luck. That is when they went online and contacted Mike Miller. Mike contacted Paul Hill who he knew was off today and available for a rapid response. He made his way to Clearwater Beach and met up with Elizabeth. Paul looked at his watch, 3:29, picked his north to south line based on some questions he asked and on tide information that he had be given by Mike on the drive over. Thirty or so feet later he got a solid 12-27 signal, presenting his scoop to Elizabeth she reached in and retrieved her white gold and ruby ring then almost knocked Paul over with big hug. Quick look at his watch…3:34. The happy family headed back up to the beach ready to enjoy the rest of their 3 week vacation!

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.

As he walked out of the water, Zane realized he had lost his wedding ring. Devastated, he told his wife and then all the family joined in the search but with no luck. They had all come to Florida from Atlanta, Georgia to enjoy the beaches and then take the kids to Disney World so this event was just not in the plan.

Zane had been tossing a football in the water with his brother and never felt the ring come off his finger. His sister-in-law Kimberly immediately googled lost ring Sarasota and SRARC popped up on The Ring Finders. She contacted Tom who passed her on to Mike. They had people waiting in the area that the ring was lost but they needed to leave for their trip to Orlando soon. Mike headed down to Siesta Key right away and arrived as they began to pack up their beach gear. After getting the lay of the land, Mike went to work and after about 30 minutes the ring came back out of the water and into Zane’s hand. Zane was all smiles and they all were soon on their way to Disney world I’m sure to the children’s delight.

Diamond Wedding Ring Lost, Found and Returned on Longboat Key, Florida

Kara and Joe were visiting Long Boat Key from Oklahoma City. They went out to the beach behind the condo where they were staying with their family. Kara handed her husband Joe her wedding band while she was putting sun screen on her daughter. Joe put the ring on his little finger so as not to lose it. After a while, Kara remembered that she had given her ring to Joe asked for it back. That is when Joe realized that the ring had fallen off. He knew that it couldn’t be far since he had not moved from the area by the umbrella.

They got a sand sifter and started sifting but no luck, they could not find the ring. Joe googled metal detector rental and contacted Phil Myers’s Detector Depot in Tampa who referred him to Tom Jones. Joe contacted Tom and asked for his help. They had circled the beach chairs around the area and kept a vigil till Tom could get to the site. Tom arrived and headed out to the beach with Kara. She pointed out the hole in the sand where the umbrella had been and said that the ring had to be somewhere around it. Tom turned on his detector and started hunting around the hole, once he circled the hole he swung the coil over the umbrella hole and got a hit, he yelled out “it’s in the hole”. He kicked some sand out of the hole with his foot and Kara’s brother in law who was watching intently said, “there it is” as he reached down and picked up the ring.

Needless to say Kara started jumping up and down as she ran to Tom and hugged him.

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.
