Great story and good job. I can't believe nobody had said anything about honorable mention so I will. Will be posting for just that now. Hope the return is as happy for you as for the og. owners family. Really, really cool thing you've done. Good luck.

Sounds like you identified the owner. But a 1938 graduate would be about 98 years old now. Is he still alive? Did you return it to him or his family? Your post is lacking some important details.

Sorry, I missed this part. That's what happens when you don't take time to read all posts on a thread
Found in Punta Gorda florida. When I got home I posted on a local Facebook page. Small town and everyone went crazy over it. Within 24 hrs we figured out who it was. Found out he’d passed in 94. Within another 24 hrs I was email with his granddaughter and daughter. Planning to meet up in next few weeks since there up in N florida and GA now. Can’t wait to meet and return to the oldest son who’s now almost 70. Links to Facebook group below. So cool

Hey Gage!
How awesome is that?
I know right where you found the ring, I’ve been driving by there for years, and I figured there might be some goodies there.... but a honker like that!?.... goes to show ya never know.
I haven’t had a decent hunt since we met that morning by your house.... did you ever check out that new empty lot?
It was loaded with trash, but I’m sure I left a few behind.
I’ve got a lot of crazy things going on life-wise, but if it all settles down soon, I’d like to drive up and get a hunt on....or you can come down here....

Thanks for the PM, but your link didn’t load, so I found this thread, and saw Peter and Kelly’s story about you....
Congrats on a job well done my friend!

 

[gage]

Had links to Facebook maybe this sight doesn’t like that.

I don’t do Facebook I’m happily married and I hate people I know.
