Karma is on your side now. Good times are in your future. :icon_thumright:

You are right about that. I just got a VERY good permission as a result of returning this ring. Hoping I can fit it in before I head south.

This story has so many bells & whistles (and a ring) that it was great fun to read.

Outstanding job!!

As George Peppard used to say on that TV show, "I love it when a plan comes together".

This is the best kind of find..... the thrill of the dig, the excitement of finding the ring, being able to track down the owner and return the ring, but my favorite part is always hearing the story of how it was lost. EXCELLENT JOB!!! :thumbsup: :notworthy: HH

You're exactly right. Very, very few of the items we dig will we ever know the story on how they were lost. It is really cool to get the whole picture--and the human factor of what we do.

Best Wishes,
