Default Ring found/ Happy Ending!

Hi there, If your interested check out the story of a ring that I found and returned. There is two local Newspapers that did a story on the recovery, one paper messed up and called me Chris Hunter, I kinda like the name... Wishing you all a golden scoop!
Happy Hunting!

WTG Chris, thats an awesome story.

Was it still in the water or was it on the beach? Just wondered how far it moved in 2 months.

Just a quick not to thank you all for your kind words. I love this hobby and my dream is to do this full time one day, but on a much higher level. I read all your accomplishments and I'm just as proud of all of you here at Treasure Quest.
Kind Regards,
Chris Turner
