Henry,



I want to thank you again for all you did to allow me to find my wedding ring.

Sandy Horvath returned it to me last evening. He said he found it lying on the beach. I am so fortunate that your friend spotted my lost and found article in the Virginian Pilot.

After hurricane Irene swept through everyone in my family as well as me had almost given up on ever seeing the ring again.

I had just about given up hope when you called me on September 3rd.

Since that time you have put in many hours searching for my ring. I am very grateful for that.

I also enjoyed learning from you how to use your equipment and enjoyed my time while we searched for my ring.



Sandy could not remember exactly when he found it but stated to me that your postings of the other rings you found made him remember that he had found one.

Not sure how you received his phone number but when you called with it, it was the miracle I was praying for.



The TV story of you on October 3, and the fact that I happened to be watching the news that day renewed my hope.

You are a truly generous individual that will take the time to go the extra mile to return things to their owner.

You should be very proud of what you accomplished for me and others.

Going the extra distance to reunite someone with something they lost
is an admirable trait Max, and you have made several someones very
happy by giving back their lost belongings.....those bleak days of no
gold finds are about to change....feel it in my bones. Well done. :thumbsup:
