Went to the old High School complex that has been so good to me in the past. I saw that the entire grounds had been mowed, which is a rarity. I decided to hunt the yard behind the old Vocational Agriculture building. This area is used for the annual 4th of July festivities here, and the annual High School Homecoming bonfire etc. I had shot for quarters there in the past and did very well...... I figured I would do that tonight and bump up my year to date clad totals...... I wasn't disappointed...... I hit 17 quarters....30 coins total....... and this nifty sterling class ring..... the girl's name is on the inside and she is still in High School.... class of 2011! My mother in law works there and is going to help me track her down. I would say that it was lost recently, as it was nearly laying on the ground..... very lucky that the mower didnt get it....... I didnt even dig for it.. the pinpointer hit it........ I cant tell if the little diamonds are real or not.... the scan isnt great, but it is the best I can do........ I am stoked! My first thought was of returning it..... I lost mine several years ago, and would love to get it back.......... so it will be returned without fanfare ASAP......... very neat and rewarding hunt..... not a bad night for about 45 mins of hunting......UPDATE>>>>> UPDATE>>> The ring has been returned.... I do not have pix because my mother in law took it to the girl.. due to privacy restrictions they couldnt give me her home address or phone number to take it to her myself... so I had to return it through someone else...the girl was in tears....... it isnt as nice a ring as I thought at first, but it was platinum... the diamonds werent real though... which was odd to have that nice of a band and fake stones..... but according the the jewelery store that is the case.... the girl's mom is a single parent that went beyond her means to get her daughter's ring..... the girl realized this and it made losing it so much worse..... but all is well now........ while I was hoping for a nice reward or hug..... I am glad to know I made someone's day and made right a wrong in her life.... man this hobby is awesome!
