Swinging my CMPRO at my latest top secret jewelry spot and I got a solid nickel signal that was bouncing back to foil a bit. When this beast of a ring came out of the plug I was really excited, it's 10k white gold. I've always wanted to do a ring return and I finally have my chance and I owe it all to my Coinmaster Pro. This machine has been nailing gold rings for me big time this year!!!! I hope this guy is as happy to get this ring back as I was to find it :)

Not to hard to find the owner if you have the initials just call the school that's what I did, they did the hard work.Just to make sure it's the right person leave out some key details and have them provide where they think they lost it.And if there are any identifiers like a scratch or nick they can give a positive I.D.

Sweet! I found my first one about 2 months ago, found the owner! She was really excited to see it! It was stolen from her when she got it in 2001, I found it on a local sliding hill 13 yrs later!

UPDATE!!! OWNER FOUND!!

Ok, I took the ring to work to show it to my friends and one of my friends knew the family! They contacted the parents by facebook and gave me the phone number! The ring's owner was able to tell me the stone color and the location that the ring was lost. Something interesting is that he lost the ring the same year that he got it! It has been quietly sitting in the ground since 2010 waiting for me to find it :)

He has no objections to me taking his picture so at some point tomorrow I will be posting a picture of owner and ring reunited!!!
