I went out to an old elementary school's soccer field for father's day and found a class ring today! It's a 1959 Cedarburg High School class ring. Cedarburg is in Wisconsin and I'm in Illinois, that should make for an easier ring return! I also found a titanium dog tag pendant that seems to have a small diamond in it.

I found these with (what else?) a Garrett AT PRO. The ring was coming in at a 55-57 like a square tab.

Cedarburg library should have all the year books from way back - good luck on your search. If you can find the owner, no better feeling than that return.

Beautiful class ring.
Really nice find.

That diamond dog tag ain't too shabby either. I never knew there was such a thing to be found.

UPDATE!

I have found an old yearbook online from this highschool from 1957. Only one listed sophmore has the correct initials! I have sent massages to this person and some family members on facebook! Yep, she's on facebook!!! This is super exciting!
