Just curious, and this is just curiosity, I have never seen this piece. If someone came along and proved they had lost that piece what would happen? finders keepers unless the finder is a softy and hands it back? I guess what I mean is if the finder wants to keep it and the original owner wants it back what happens? Incredible find.
I agree I return a lot of rings I'll return them since I can't retire from itFirst, excellent find! Finds like that always get the heart going and can pay for the trip. Dogfish asks an excellent question about returning lost items. I think there’s going to be a lot of opinions here. For me, I will return an item if someone approaches me and asks me to find a missing item; I am more than happy to oblige. Also, if someone advertises that some thing is lost and is described accurately, I will return the item if I find it. Other than that, the selfishness of me comes out and I shall keep most items that I find. There have been exceptions in the past where I have felt generous; for instance, I found a War of 1812 infantry button from the 12th regiment that I donated to the 12th regiment located in Virginia. I have also returned a sterling silver bracelet with a person’s name on it.

Nothing soft about doing the right thing. That takes guts. (If its the owner that lost it)Just curious, and this is just curiosity, I have never seen this piece.
