First gold makes me sad

[okla. prospector]

I went out metal detecting yesterday. I have never found a ring yet, but yesterday I found three. One junk ring, one wedding band (I think is silver), and my first 10K GOLD! The only problem is its a class ring and had no problem finding the owner. Looked on Facebook and found him in 5 minutes. I hope he appreciates it, I could had used the extra money. It was nice finding some rings and wow three!!! Oh and $1.04 in change. Thanks for looking

Excellent day. And by the way, I would have done the same thing with the class ring.

Thanks! Yes as easy as it can be to sell with all the cash for gold I just can't do it. I remember when I was in high school and would have loved to have a class ring but my parents didn't have the money. I would have been very upset if I did get one and had lost it. I just hope he appreciate it. Some of these kids now days just don't!

IMO you did the right thing and you both will be happier for it. Most returns are worth more than money but, who knows, he may insist on giving you a reward. I've had many people offer a reward that is more than the melt value. Well done!

I know what you mean as I couldn't afford a class ring either. But I would have tried to return any ring with a name in it.

Thanks guys. It was so exciting finding a ring! But 3 was just awesome.

Karma will reward you. Just wait. You'll find something waaaay cool worth MUCH more.

 

[okla. prospector]

Annief I hope your right lol. Thanks I won't been able to live with myself if I didn't return it. I just got off the phone with his mom. She was so thankful, makes me feel really good.

[cntrydncr1]

Well done!! Of course you would return a ring with someone's name in it...congrats!!

 

[rks1949]

You just got one of the greatest finds a MDer can get! The satisfaction of returning a lost item to it's owner! There's no price that can match that feeling. I'm still waiting on my chance to do the same! Congrats!

[okla. prospector]

Thanks everyone. He is on his way to come get it.

 

[HutSiteDigger]

Ask him for a reward.... Time is money. Oh well, nice deed indeed.

 

[CoinFetcher]

You can do whatever you want with this ring - including giving it to the first homeless person you see.

 

[okla. prospector]

Well that wasn't as rewarding as I thought it would be. Man kids now days!

 

[christo000]

Awe they werent grateful that u found it huh

 

[okla. prospector]

Well I talked to his mom and she was but I'm sure she paid for it. When he did come get it not even a thank you from him.

Well you did the right thing anyway. Some kid now days don't seem to know the words " Thank You " and " Please ". Kind of a shame but it is not all kids.
