Class ring going home after 50 years !!!

[Mitch1FL]

Found a class ring near Vero Beach this past summer. It’s from Fordham Prepratory School, N.Y. 1956. Even had a name on the inside, but it was in script, worn and hard to read. Sent several emails to the school for information. Finally got a reply from the school the other day. They had narrowed the name down and were in the process of helping me track down the owner for me. Got home lastnight and a had a message from the owner who now lives in S.C. Gave him a call back and he identified the ring exactly. He did not remember seeing the ring since 1956. He said something about a girl being involved, but I wont go into details. The ring will be on its way home soon!

Mitch, you are an upstanding guy! I love reading stories like this as there is always so much negative news regarding metal detectorists and treasure hunters.

Technically, under Florida law, the ring is the property of the state and should be turned over to the state archaeologist.
Unless of course it was found on the beach between the base of the dune and mean low tide line.
Just being the devils advocate...
And also pointing out how stupid some of the laws (and this is a relatively new law), that archaeologist are able to push through our state legislature onto the backs of the people.

Outstanding Mitch!

The state would put it in a vault and we would have never seen it. Thanks for showing this great treasure Mitch.
And the owner is happy too!!!!
