Class of '93 gold ring being returned to its rightful owner!
I got out for a hunt on public grounds. There was an old couple there, watching me swing away, laughing at me... but curious.
As I got closer, they started to ask questions. I talked about the hobby and what we usually find. The old lady asks "Did you find any gold?"
I said, "Never from this spot..."
Literally 10 minutes later, I get a solid 51 on the Deus.
I flip it over and see the unmistakable look of a gold band. I took it out, flipped it around and see my old high school crest. Vita vitalis, a life worthwhile. SJHS, class of 93.
I found the initials on the inside, and within a few minutes, I had a name.
Thanks to the power of social media (and my cousin who tried to steal my thunder), I got in touch with the woman. She was thrilled. She lost it twenty years ago.
I will post a pic of us if she lets me take one on the return. I am not seeking a reward. but the lady does seem to have some contacts. She may be able to open up access for me to many of the old Anglican churches in the area.
Fingers crossed that the karma stuff pays off...
Happy hunting.
