GOLD GOLD and more GOLD

[ToyMan]

The below rings were found in the same lake as the military rings I found. The lake was used by military personnell during World War II. All were found in a span of 2 years. Total class rings = 22, misc wedding bands was about 60 (most have been given to family and friends).

The 2 class rings at the top, 1938 (St. Mary's High School in Rutherford NJ) and a 1970 (Choctawhatchee High School) are being sent off today. St. Mary's is going to try and locate the owner and if not found, they are going to put the ring in their trophy case.

The 1970 owner has been notified and I am awaiting final identification before I send it off.

I have emails sent to 4 of the other schools and am waiting for their replies. Most of the rings have no school name on them. Oldest ring is 1927 and the newest is 1970.

Most of the class rings were from the early 40's.

Great finds...those totals would be fantastic for 20 years of hunting, never mind 2 years worth...Fantastic job and CONGRATS!!!! Good job on trying to locate the owners as well....makes it all the more enjoyable when you can reunite the owner with a lost ring...

That quite the find and what a spot to hit the jackpot.

Kudos' for trying to find the rightful owners, that can end up being more work that finding the rings themselves, but certainly worth the effort.

Great job.
