MY RING HAS BEEN FOUND!!!! YAYYY, COULDNT BE MORE THRILLED!! a Robert Anderson from Manatee county found it. sent me a pic and all. Thank you for all the kind words of encouragement and suggestions!!!
That's fantastic. Just goes to show you that there are plenty of good folks out there and that metal detecting is a fantastic hobby.
I'll bet you thought you'd never see it again. Nothing like a happy ending.
