I always feel sad when I find a weding ring; it always makes me think of the person who lost it and what it ment to them.
What do you think?

I feel that way when I find a Late 18th. , Early 19th. Century coin.

Money was so Scarce Back then, And those who Had it Realy worked for it.
So when I think of the Possibility of some Kid having worked a week
for that Half Cent, & Maby loosing it on the way to the store, or next door to the neighbor ladys for a piece of pie, makes me feel sad.

But then I think "I Found it " and it puts the Smile back on my Face

i think about it too, which is why if i can find a way to return it to the rightfull owner i will. i know what you mean about the old coins Jeff. 50 cents was often a grown mans wages for the week back then. it really puts a Morgan dollar or a barber half into perspective. someone probably didn't eat that week because of that coin being lost.to me it makes the find all that much more valuable.

There maybe a good possibly those wedding rings were lost on purpose. Perhaps a bad divorce or what ever, hurt feelings and don't want a reminder. Although I'm sure most are lost by accident. A guy I work with is on his third wedding band now his first and second was lost. The second one just here recently while we were at work.He wasn't to happy about having to tell his wife.
