    3rd Ring This Year

    Hi All,

    So I recently graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station. While in my last semester this spring, I found 2 sterling silver James Avery rings in the parking lot where I parked for classes, one a respectable 3.6 gram sterling silver ring and the other was a whopper of a ring, a floral ring with citrine from James Avery that weighed in at almost 14 grams, was .925 and valued at $200. Unfortunately, it had been run over repeatedly so now I just have it for the content but the first ring I found was in perfect shape. I also found a small 10K necklace chain that weighs in at a little under a gram.

    Today, I found my 3rd .925 ring in a different parking lot I use on the University for work. It weighs in at 2.3 grams, is marked NF .925 Thailand on the inside and has what appears to be 6 fake diamonds on the front and should have 3 more but are missing. As you can see from the pics, it's in bad shape but it's more silver to add to the pile.

    So many careless kids, I would love to be a parking attendant around here because I'm sure they find a ton of silver and gold jewelry due to the overload of 50,000+ college students in one area.

    HH to all!

    I go to the University of Michigan, and it seems like every other week I find gold or silver. I also scoop up about $100 in change a year

    Re: 3rd Ring This Year

    Congratulations on the graduation. A lot of people try and don't make it, and end up transferring to t.u.
    I agree with the chance the PSO have to find things in the lots. I know people who have found anything from jewelry to fetal pigs on the buses.
    Good luck in the future.

    Bill
