Lost ring

[mumszie]

I am betting that the ring I have been looking for has already been found by another hunter. If it has and you are reading this post I will describe it and hope that it can be returned to the owner. He is really upset about this loss. It is a two tone ring.... yellow gold on one side and white gold on the other with a diagonal strip of diamonds. It was lost in the little cove on the beach between the IHOP and the Econolodge. I have hunted there a couple of times and I believe it has already been found by another hunter. His anniversary is this coming week and would really like to get his ring back if possible. I leave it up to you gng's. I've tried the best I can and I can't find it.

Well if it wasn't it will now..

Don't take this the wrong way but a need to know information only should have been posted (where it was lost was not necessary) if you know what I mean

curses to anyone who finds it or who has found it that know its lost and someone is looking for it. May the rest of your days be full of pulltabs and bottle caps

No, I did not take it the wrong way at all. I kept it a secret for a while but figured if I couldn't find it maybe someone else will be able to and if they did and knew I was looking for it perhaps they would let me know. I know kind of nieve of me but..... you never know. I just am not good at this stuff and some of you guys are VERY good at this kind of thing.

I would like to think most of the folks here would do the right thing if they knew how to find the owner.

It's a shame, but I think the two key words are most and here, as you know there are tons of lurkers and they are here for one reason believe it or not...

Ah well.... it was worth a shot.

Mumzie, I would like to think that most of us here on Tnet have some scruppples. If anyone finds it who is a tnetter I would like to think they would return it. My personal code is, if there is something on the object to id the owner or if I know who the owner is I will return it. If not, then it goes into the goody pile. There are hundreds of crooks out there who would try to claim it just from the description you gave. I am not scolding you and I think you did the right thing, but I wouldn't describe it, but let the owner describe it to the finder to prove he/she is the rightful owner. I'd say something like, gold men's band with decorations. You are a treasure among detectorists. Monty

I think you done good Mumszie! It'd be nice to see how this turns out and our belief in people vindicated.

Sometimes it's painful to believe in people and then get disappointed ...BUT still I prefer to believe!

A couple days ago I successfully recovered a ring (from a Craigslist post) and told the person that engraving would help return his lost ring in the future.

I normally make a huge effort if there is engraving ..or if it seems high value. That same day I also found a Platinum band with NO engraving. I've listed it on Craigslist but doubt it'll find it's owner.
