🏆 HONORABLE MENTION 1950 Class Ring, lost for 64 years.....Returned to rightful owner

[TheRingFinder]

I was out scuba detecting with a buddy this weekend and found a bunch of silver coins, jewelry and a couple gold rings. One ring was a 1950 St. Thomas Academy Class Ring. Weighed in at 18 Grams. It took me a total of 5 minutes on the internet to find out who the owner is. He is now 82 years old and lives in Fort Worth Texas, I found the ring in Minnesota. We chatted a bit and he was quite surprised at the recovery. I got his address and the ring is on its way back home!

Thanks for the comments everyone. That ring has been down in the muck for 64 years, it looks like it is brand new - gotta love that gold, even 10K lasts down in the murky depths

Absolutely gorgeous ring & super return! So glad you were able to find the guy who lost it!

I lost my class ring 55 years ago and would be amazed & thrilled if it ever turned up -- I think mine ended up falling into small trash can at home & then went to reside in the city dump. Many years later I searched the likely crevices in the house it could've fallen into, but no luck. Live & learn! Have fun! Andi

My pastor once asked the congregation to pick just one word to describe Jesus Christ. My word of choice was " selfless". It also describes you sir. Many folks would just send it on to the scrap buyers without a second thought. God bless, and HH, Brother Al.
