My hunt today got cancelled because of rain so hunted my back yard with the Deus back near the barn. Found this beauty! Class ring 1964 turns out it came from Cardinal Dougherty High School out of Philadelphia which was a Roman Catholic School, but the school unfortunately no longer exists. Its marked 10k on it and not sure if the stone is real but this is the first class ring that I have found! It is marked 10k. I found the alumni page for the school and messaged several people and no one wants to help me track down the owner. Philadelphia is a good distance from Shippensburg, Pennsylvania so this looks to be a lost cause. The best reply I got was just post the initials and good luck. Either way the rain cursed hunt today turned out to be a blessing in disguise!! WOOT HH TNET!

That thing is HUGE!!
There's nothing like that feeling of pulling that sweet gold from the dirt. It makes your whole day better.

For your first, she's a big and beautiful one. Many congrats.
