Fantastic end to a long winter "My first Class Ring"

Yesterday was my last day of a way to short vacation and a long winter. We
decided to hit a park that we have been hunting at least 3 days a week since
last fall. Most of the well traveled areas have been picked out so hard that
pulltabs are even few and far between.
I decided to try a different spot that is so full of trash it is hard to find a spot
clean enough to just ground balance the detector.
Half hour into the day and a pile of junk in the pocket. I Found this.





Needless to say I was done for a bit. 2" down tangled in the grass roots. I
expected another piece of can slaw or possibly a set of keys. I have found
several sets in this park. Often makes me wonder how you would get home
without your car keys.
We ended the day about 5pm. With a 6" 18 kt gold plate bracelet, 2 broken
wrist watches- cheap kids type, 39 lincolns, 10 dimes, 6 nickels, and 7
quarters. Oh and don't forget about a hundred pieces of can slaw, pulltabs
and those quarter signal beer bottle tops.
As soon as I find out where the owner is I will update this post.

I contacted the school today and talked to one of the secretary's. As we all
know the privacy act too well they are not allowed to give me his info. She
said she will try to locate him and pass along my info so he can contact me.

Just a little update

Nice Find!

That has got to be the coolest design on a class ring I ever saw. Those areas loaded with trash hold some real keepers, so that's where
I'd concentrate my efforts. A park around my house has been hunted to death for the last 30 years or so, but you can still find gold and
silver jewelry, old silver etc.., right in the middle of the trashiest spots because everyone else gives up.

Good Luck on your hunt for the owner.

UPDATE I received an email from the owner. He told me the green stone was his birthstone and he was on the soccer team. He has to busy of a schedule to meet so as soon as he emails his address I am going to send the ring out.
I did ask how long ago he lost it but have not received an answer yet.

Heading out tomorrow to look for more. So far this area has produced:
an 18 kt gold earring with a 1/4 ct aquamarine stone,
3 sterling silver religious metals,
a sterling stud earring,
a 1 ounce sterling earring,
a 2 ounce sterling bracelet,
2 small 14 kt gold chains,
lots of plated jewelry,
1 large cent no date,
and over $100 in clad.

All this and all winter on any day there was always at least one other hunter
there. I have met several people enjoying the hobby but none from this forum
there yet.
Happy Hunting
Joe
