no Judgements from me on any ones Opinion
I absolutely agree on keeping any jewelry Without enough info on it to trace it.
but class rings not only have initials, They have the name of the school.
the 2 things making most of them traceable.
yes I'm a treasure hunter & not only enjoy the history & surprises,
I also have that I want to Hit the big one attitude.
Plus occasionally you get a reward returning rings,
or the chance of receiving a Lead you otherwise may not.
Plus the appreciation can sometimes be a treasure in itself
So, to sum it up! All of you who say return it because its a class ring! Are you saying return it just because its easy or because its the right thing to do?
With a little or a lot of research i'm sure we could return most of what we find!
It's a local highschool and lots of people know the guy, he has a record longer than my arm, he was in prison last anyone
knew. Not the kind of person I would care to offer it back or even let know I found it. I may just keep it awhile, seems the metal detecting hobby dosen't pay off in every case.
Your not the only one in here with the guts to say the truth. Im in here and the truth is, I find enough gold rings that when I find a ring that Im able to return, I have no problem giving it up. If you lost something that could be returned, who would you rather find it? Someone with your attitude or someone with mine? Not saying Im right and your wrong. What you do is your business. I guess its harder to return something when you dont find much.calisdad said:dholland02 I found it odd that the word 'honestly' was even in your response but I guess you are being honest about your point of view.
I guess I'm the only one in here with the guts to say the truth. Guess that makes a criminal. Think what u want I dnt know u personal or hunt with u so I could careless

I guess it varies by state. I found a high school class ring with the full name engraved inside the
ring. It's a 1984 ring so it's old and probably been lost for many years. Does anyone know the
laws regarding personnel items like this, is it ok to sell as scrap gold?
you care to Explain ?
Trying to figure out if I'm wrong that it's Illegal, if the owner finds out and Presses charges.
or if I'm wrong that a gung ho cop could arrest you for not turning over found gold rings,
or if I'm wrong class rings are the easiest item to trace
Or am I wrong that I return class rings that are not too old,
Or am I just Wrong because it sounds right ?

It is these thoughts that make others distrust our hobby and ethics. If it is possible to return something, try to do it. If there is no way to tell who lost it, it is yours.
