Default Made this guy's trip one to remember

I got a call from a guy visiting KY from New York. He was at a pool party and while playing volleyball in the water his friend felt his silver wedding band fly off. Looking down he realized platinum one was gone also. After searching for the rings with no luck he looked on the web for someplace that rented detectors he found our website, www.bgrelic.org and called asking if we could help. The pictures show one happy camper and he'll have a story to tell when he gets back to the Big Apple. Both rings were recovered along with a lawn mower altered pair of glasses.

Very nice, I love these kind of stories. It a great way to validate the hobby to people. I agee that this is something that local newspaper should cover, good human interest story.
