My First Pretty Ring Part 2

[baylorhall]

I was able to determine that the ring that had the weird mark inside is real---and 14K! I think it is a wedding band, so am trying to find the owner. May call the Parks Dept. to see if one is reported missing. Anyway, I am pumped! Thanks!

Very nice find, and I hope you find the owner. If not, at least you gave it a shot.

Nice find.

I am sure you will find numerous owners on Craigs List!!!!

A find like that, I would probably just keep if it did not have any name or initials on it.

Good luck on finding the true owner.

Kudos on your efforts for finding the owner. I see in a problem in that you've posted pics here of the ring, and anyone smart enough on Craigslist in your area might use that against you as they could provide a description of the ring, unless you have something more specific to it that you will ask to identify it.

Regardless, keep us posted!

Congrats on the nice ring!

Thanks, I hadn't thought of that! I just felt bad knowing someone probably had lost their wedding band. Will be more careful next time.

You are certainly to be commended for your efforts in tracking down the owner!!!

Told you it looked like gold - have you had the stones checked?

 

[baylorhall]

Not yet. I was at a gold exchange place and they declared it to be 14K, but said they wouldn't check the stones because if they bought it, it wouldn't affect the cost. I will have to go somewhere else. Thanks for checking back!

Nice find. Good Luck with the hunt for the owner. It's a great feeling to give back what they have lost.

Happy Hunting.

Congrats on the Gold Ring!

It really is a pretty ring.

I commend you on trying to find an owner..but it will be difficult. Without an engraving inside you'll have to rely on a description. Do check the parks department lost items list.

I've used CraigsList lost and found section in California but haven't had success..still it's worth a try if they can definitely ID their lost item. I found a wedding band with diamonds and engraved inside with a "1965" date as a recent find but listing it for 3 months yielded no results and I had to keep the ring.

I think the odds are better than 95% that you'll have to keep the ring.

Thanks! Although I am not opposed to keeping it, I sure want to do my best to return it if I can.

Just noticed a similar ring...from NJ: http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,219612.0.html

I know! Isn't that crazy? His stones look bigger than mine, but I have more.
