Gold Diamond and Ruby Ring!!!

BuckleBoy · Dec 8, 2006

I found this GREAT 14K gold ring in West Virginia! It has 12 diamonds and a huge ruby in the center. I was hunting this one down for the property owners, who had asked me to look for it. The daughter it belonged to had lost the ring (which had belonged to her grandmother) when she was out climbing a tree 7 years ago. I searched around the base of the tree and got my first signal (a pulltab). When I dug the second signal, this beauty popped out of the hole. They were ecstatic to have it back. Plus I got permission to hunt the property and recovered more cool items. (But more on that later...)

Thank you for your responses to my post. It makes me extremely happy to return rings and other items to their proper owners. After 14 years of detectin', there is only one class ring that I haven't returned (a 1941 silver ring), and that was only because I couldn't for the life of me find what school it was from. I sent letters all over the place, though. Don't think the school still exists. Perhaps a school far away from where the ring was found.

Heck nowadays with the internet you can find anybody. Post school name and initials. Alot of people like being a detective and help you in your search. We really need a CLASS RING thread to help getting it back to owner

O.K. Here's the info on the class ring I couldn't find any info on. It was found in 1993 in Giles County Virginia at a house in a suburb built in the 40's. I had checked with the owners and called previous owners to ask with no luck. They hadn't lost a ring, and didn't know anyone with the correct initials. This leads me to believe that it might have been lost by a construction worker who built the house or a long-forgotten guest of a previous owner.

It is a silver class ring from 1941, and the initials of the school are JBH (from left to right), but if you read them from top to bottom and left to right they are BJH (which might make sense, because West Virginia had Junior High Schools for a while). The ring is pretty small in size.

Great job finding it for them...Kharma will come back on you tenfold and you will find many MANY more for your own. Love it when people do this kind of thing. You KNOW they tell other people and that gives us Treasure hunters a good name.
