Great hunts. Is that an old class ring in one of the pictures. There have been many instances here on Tnet where the owner of the ring was tracked down - school, year, and initials in ring - and the ring returned. The gratitude and stories about the owner or their family has been outstanding. If you could part with it, it might be something you might want to consider.

Just a thought.

Super finds! This must have been an old military base or housing complex. I noticed the WWII era "African Campaign" medal.

The class ring is a US army ring! It says US Army military police but has no other markings! I have already returned one class ring in the year I've been MDing!! I was wondering if any one was going to ask about the Ring!! Bighead

You are hunting the base housing on a military base.

This is Pensacola Fla the whole town is a military base, basically since the 1600's. Most of these items were found in a neighborhood park. They don't let you get around the base property to much around here.Bighead

The medal is actully a WWII American Campain medal. If you look close you can see a plane,destroyer,and a sinking U-Boat. I think this is the coolest military item I have found so far, other than the WWII dogtag.Bighead

If the ring has no indication of date or initials, there is really no chance to track down the owner. Too many people, too many rings, too many lost. Since it is not inscribed, it was probably one that a person picked up at the PX as a generic ring to show others they were an MP.

Cool find. Keep it and don't look back.
