Catchin' Up --1893 Barber, '35 Merc, '50 Roosie & '65 Class Ring!

Have been getting detecting in, but only in short hunts between all the craziness that has been August.

Hunted in Michigan's Upper Peninsula on a visit to my parents. They live in a resort that was closed in 1970, and was originaly a company logging town. This has been detected many times for many years, but I snagged a bunch of wheaties, a 1950 Roosie, and a Sterling Silver class ring from 1965 (GJHS). Still working at finding the school the ring is from, and then to find the original owner......... (ringfinder and a couple of other places I've posted it, and been in contact with every Grand Junction High School (4) that I could find with no luck so far.)

Hunted twice in the park here in town that was a fairgrounds in the late 1800s and early 1900s. On one trip I picked up a 1935 Merc, and last night a 1893 Barber Dime.

I'm heading back out again tonight, and off to the U.P. for Labor Day weekend.........

Thanks for looking, and if you have any ideas on the class ring please sing out!

Good Luck,
Mark
