Would this guy get honorable mentions? Not if he charges for returns.

I'd have to say no. Sounds like he's doing it as a business.

God Bless Him! If he recovers a wedding ring for $50.00 it's worth it to most folks! Personally, I don't need the money and I always volunteer my services!

If you can afford to fly there for a wedding or vacation, you can surely afford his services.

All I get is this pop-up.

I've seen a guy posting the return up on this forum-meanwhile running an advertisement on his For Sale Ad that they'll look for lost rings and things. He would charge also. But when posting that wasn't ever stated.
So basically most will do it for the thrill of the hunt, "ring finders" probably charge a flat rate.

But realistically if you loose the wedding ring and there's a guy willing to find it for a fee

FYI, nope, no honorable mention if he was a member.

Even if he was a member… charging a fee, based on time looking for it is rude.

Charging to return is what eliminates it from honorable mention. I have no issue with him charging if those who lost it dont object, it's a business.
