Amy was down from Boston on Longboat Key to join a few friends for a few days in the sun and water. The group was playing in the water throwing a football around for a while and then they spotted a school of fish a little way down the beach trapped in a sand pool above the gulf. They wanted to rescue them so they dug a trench thru the sand and helped them return to the gulf. It had been a great day until Amy realized a very special ring that had been passed down to her was missing. Her great grandfather had gifted her great grandmother a gold ring on one of their anniversary’s. Then Amy’s grandfather had passed the ring on to her to keep it close in the family. They all searched but had no luck and then Amy found SRARC ring finders using Google. She contacted Joe Szemer who called Mike Miller who made arrangements for both of them to do a search. They met Amy and got all the particulars then split up to hunt in different areas. They tried the dry and wet sand first but finally had to get into the rough surf. After about 10 minutes Mike got lucky in thigh deep water and up came the ring. Amy was so excited that she gave Mike a big hug and was in disbelief that we had actually fount it. SRARC is very happy we could recover the keepsake items for Amy.

Corie, Rob and family from Arkansas were down on Anna Maria Island for spring break. They headed out to the beach in front of their condo at about 3 pm to enjoy the sun and surf. Corie took off her three wedding rings to put on some suntan lotion then promptly forgot about them. At some point later she remembered them and went looking for them. She couldn’t remember exactly when she had removed them or for sure where she had set them down. The whole family looked and looked but could not find them. The most important ring had a beautiful solitary diamond which had been in Corie’s grandmothers wedding ring so it was an irreplaceable heirloom. Rob decided to look for metal detectors on the internet and soon found SRARC ring finders. He contacted Joe Szemer who contacted Mike Miller and a hunt was scheduled. Once Mike arrived it was just a matter of minutes until he had the rings back on Corie’s finger. Rob said he had timed our response and from the time he texted Joe until the time we returned the rings it was just under one hour. He said they were sure they would never see the rings again but SRARC saved the day. Mike is the lucky one as he got hugs around and lots of smiles and cheers.

Erin was down from Maryland with her husband and friends on Longboat Key for a winter break. They had packed up and headed to the beach for a nice day in the sun. As they were setting their chairs and umbrella up Erin caught a piece of the umbrella in one of her earrings. She wrestled with it for a few seconds and then felt the earring come off so she finished putting the umbrella in place thinking she would find her earring after things were all setup. When she finished she started looking for the earring and found nothing. The group spent the next three hours searching the area around the umbrella. They finally gave up and spent some time enjoying the beach. After returning to their rental unit Erin searched the internet for a rental metal detector. In the search SRARC ring finders popped up and she thought that she would be smart to let an experienced detectorist search instead of trying herself. She contacted Joe Szemer who contacted Mike Miller who then made arrangements to meet Erin at the location. After about 1 minute of hunting Mike found the earring and returned it to a smiling but disbelieving Erin. They all cheered and smiled but could not believe it was found so fast after they searched for so long. SRARC is happy to be able to send Erin home with her special earring and not with just a sad story about a lost earring.

John was with his wife and children enjoying a family reunion on Anna Maria Island. They had all come down from fridge Minnesota and we enjoying the sun and beach. They had rented a golf cart to cruise around on the island. John was returning to their rental unit on the cart and on arrival he gave his son a big high five. As their hands met, John felt his wedding ring fly off. It was in the area of their shell covered driveway which had a large group of plants in the middle. John’s wife had heard the plink of metal hitting metal and thought the ring must have hit one of the vehicles or a metal rental sign in front of the plants. The whole group searched and searched but could not find the ring. John’s wife finally googled “lost ring” and she found SRARC ring finders. She called Joe Szemer and Joe called Mike who made arrangements to meet the group at the site. Mike searched the entire driveway with no luck and then began trying to search among the plants in the middle. John got down on hands and knees to try and help by lifting the plants up so Mike could search under them. In just a few minutes Mike heard the nice tone of a ring and sure enough there it was hiding under a plant. Everyone clapped and cheered when John held up his ring and returned it to his finger. It is always a great feeling to return something so special to the person that lost it. It just makes for big smiles all around.

Scott and Crystal from Bradenton were in a heated debate and in a fit of craziness Scott jumped up ran out the door and from the 4th floor balcony threw his wedding ring as far as he could. After thinking it over for an hour or so he decided it would be a good idea to go try and find it. He figured it had landed in a large grass area so went and purchased a metal detector to assist in the hunt. He hunted for a couple days and found many interesting pieces of junk but not the ring. They contacted SRARC through The Ring Finders web site and Joe Szemer passed the info on to Mike Miller. Mike made arrangements to meet them at the location and a short time later the hunt was on. While Scott was looking with his detector he had identified several locations he thought the ring might be in. He had ordered but had not received a pin pointer so he could check them out. He took Mike to each place and Mike said no to all but the last one. That one had a great tone and VDI. Mike put his pin pointer down and there it was. Mike got a big hug from Scott and lots of smiles from both Crystal and Scott. But the truth be told, had Scott received his pin pointer before Mike showed up he would have found it himself. Turns out Mike was just an assist. Congratulations Scott on your first ever recovery.

Bob was down from Virginia in Lakewood Ranch visiting with his daughter, her husband, and his grandchildren and to help with the hurricane Ian cleanup in their yard. Before going to work he wrapped his two rings in his handkerchief so they would not be lost. Sometime during the work process he pulled the handkerchief from his pocket to blow his nose. His rings went flying away and were lost out in the grass. The family searched in the general area for over an hour but could never find them. Bob returned to Virginia and some time later found the SRARC ring finders and contacted Joe Szemer. Joe contacted Mike Miller and arrangements were made for Mike to do a search in the area where the rings were lost. Mike searched for about an hour before he got the hit and found the two rings side by side under the grass. When Bob heard from his daughter both rings had been found he was all smiles. Always a pleasure for us at SRARC to see the smiles when lost items are returned.

T was riding his power unicycle and stopped along the sidewalk to take off his helmet causing one of his Sony earbuds to fall into the grass. He was told to contact Howard Metts who scheduled a time to meet T and do a hunt. Howard used his hand held Nokta Makro Pulse Dive detector and was able to come up with the earbud in ten minutes. T was very happy to see the earbud again.
