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.

Huge thank you to the group Srarc that goes out and helps people like me who could of had a sad wife on first day of vacation. Passing football in the ocean and it knocked my ring off. 30 minutes of searching and no luck. Looked over and saw a fella with a metal detector. With no real hope of finding it I did say I found it once with one in my yard. I had no real hope of finding it in the ocean. I asked the guy would his pick up rings and he said yes did you lose one. I told him I did and he said let me see what I can do. Within 20 minutes he waved me over and had found my ring down about 2 feet of sand in 3 feet of water. I asked him what did I owe him and he said have a great time on vacation. So relieved and so amazed at the odds of him being on the part of the ocean I was at the time I needed it the most. Thanks again for helping us. This experience has revived a little more hope in humanity that society is not what you see on social media where no one wants to help someone without it being posted first. He didn’t ask for a share, post, or video, but was ok with me posting if I wanted to. He helped the vacation not start on a bad note Happy wife, great vacation. More pictures and stories to come but this was the first of our great adventure on vacation this year.
