If this doesn't qualify for an HONORABLE MENTION, I don't know what would.
Congrats on a great find and return to the next of kin.

I second that! Much better than the ring returns I have. That's the tops when you get to return military. Great job HMT!

Well done, Heavymetalnut! You never gave up although it took 7 years! That's what I call dedication!! All the very best in hunting in the future. Good karma will follow you wherever you go knowing that you've done the hobby proud.

I love these kind of posts Dave - great job!! It's a reminder that I need to get off my butt and try again to locate the owner of a huge 2006 US Army Transportation School (Fort Eustis) ring I found in the water a few years ago, but only did a brief and unsuccessful search for the owner. Any ideas on where to go for help with this? The ring has initials, what I think might be the last 4 of the SSN, and the MOS. You would think that would make it easy, but officials at Ft Eustis couldn't (or wouldn't??) help.

This kinda story should be in the newspapers!

Dave, I would expect this from you. Great gesture. Glad to see you posting. I was afraid Santa had kidnapped you, Dawg, & JB-LOL. I hope you have another great year. Everyone should view your 2014 annual finds on that forum. WTG, Q.
