Class ring

[ticm]

This ring came in just like a zinc penny. My detector told me it had a VDI of 53 on a Whites (The V3i) The only reason I dug it was because my detector told me it was 5 inches deep. It's marked 10k inside the band. I found it in a school yard. It has someones initials inside. I would like to return it. My question is this. Is there a web site out there for returning lost rings? I thought I read somewhere on this forum of such a site.

Thanks

Nice! Get in contact with the school and they can check their records and see if the initials match up with the year. Once you get a name or names start off with google . Good luck and keep us posted!

see if Olney HS has a web site. Often they have an alumni page connected. Classmates.com is also good as well

Congrats on the recovery. Olney High School is in Philadelphia Pa, their mascot is the Trojans. Hope this is a help.

Thanks you all for the great info.. So far I called the school. They asked me to email them and they would see if they could find a name in a year book. I will try those other web sites too.

Thanks again

Great find.... for you and the original owner....unless they can't be found for one reason or another. These days, a guy's 10kt high school ring is worth a little over $140.00 in today's gold....

I have a nephew that graduated from HS about six years ago. The ring he bought wouldn't even make a sound on my detector.... For those, I would have to pass the detector over his ring and have the detector "learn" what it is in order to find any of the new ones.

I'm wondering if others have discovered the same issue....? No telling how many class rings like his are lost and walked over because the detector nulls it out....

Hey Guys!

let's do some math! if you have a 1928 class ring then if the average age of a high school graduate is 18 years old than that puts this guy as born around - 1910! I hope he made it to 101!

good luck finding the owner under these circumstances!

average life expectancy in the United States for a Male is 77.9 years according to the CDC!

I would say you have a good chance at keeping that ring!, but no reason to give up - you just have a high 90% chance he has gone to the next life!

The ring is dated 1978! If he was 18 when he graduated . . . then he'd only be 51 now!
I think there's a very good chance of finding the original owner still alive!

At first I thought it said 1928 but it's a 1978..So he should be still alive and well.

My mistake! I thought it was 1928!

It sank a long way down in 33 years!

that should be easy to find the owner - good luck Ticm!
