I just don’t understand it. I receive a lot of calls to find lost rings that were lost during heated discussion. They don’t tell me that right away, but it eventually comes out. I guess they are embarrassed. I think ring tossing should be a new Olympic event. Most of the rings thrown aren’t cheap ones either. Throwing your rings is just like throwing money down the drain…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many of the searches aren’t successful because they were tossed from a moving object, like a car or boat, and the owners are not really sure of the exact location they were at when they were tossed.<\/p>\n

I am more successful when the women throw the rings, than a man. I guess it is because they don’t throw them as far.<\/p>\n

If it did become an Olympic event, just think of all of the science & studies that would be done. We would probably have nearly 100% recovery rates. We would know the speed, arc of travel, normal distance they travel, blah blah blah…<\/p>\n

If you have the urge to throw your rings away, contact me at 707-706-3626 and I’ll be right over. Throw them at me so I can save the search time and just put them into my retirement fund. \u00a0Don’t do something you will regret later. Take a step back and then take a deep breath and hold on to your rings!!<\/p>\n
