Hi ladies and gentlemen,

I have made contact with Landsteiner, the owner of the Olympic ring. We have a date set for the return of it. He is a very busy man and remember, he lives in Minnesota while I live in California; he is coming all the way here to pick his ring up. At that time I will give you an update and a video of it, so please stay patient with John and I as we move forward. Hope to talk to you all after my next video - or see you on the beaches! I'd love to hunt with some of you if you live nearby! :)

Thanks,
Doctor Rings and Things

Great video and hunt. Look forward to the return. Friend has some houses in that area and imagine that the area holds lots of good finds.
Good luck in all your hunts. You need to post up a picture of the ring if you have not already.
Happy Hunting.

Just an update here, I returned the ring to John Landsteiner! I was again on channel 5 news and you can see the raw footage here from my own camera!
