It is worth looking at..so far there are only 3 ppl from new zealand that belong to it....i enjoy finding rings and dont mind keeping some but if i can return them to there owners and get a small reward for finding it then i am just as happy as i love the hobby. http://theringfinders.com/ would love to hear other veiws on it.

And yes alot of reading..also gives a few good idea where things might be found and how to do a good grid search.

Not called ringlosers.com though :) Lost of sob stories of guys proposing to their girlfriend while on holiday in the caribbean, girl puts on ring, and they run into the warm water for a quicky and when they come out the ring is gone because it wasn't fitted correctly and they were too busy to notice it fell off.
