Was detecting a couple weeks ago at a practice field at the local high school. Found 4 rings, 2 junk, one small silver, and my first class ring. 10k, class of 1995, not much wear so I figured it was lost close to then. Did some internet research and called the girls mom, she relayed the call and I got a call back that evening. The girl knew right away what I had but I still made her ID it, she got it all correct. We met a couple days ago and I returned it. Local news even did a story on it. Turns out she only had the ring a few months, it slipped off while throwing a football w friends on a cold March day. 16 years in the ground.
It was great to be able to return it, she was super-happy! It felt great and was good public relations for the hobby. Now I have another person asking if I can find hers!
