USNA gold ring(Updated w/ return 9/12/07)

[Mainedigger]

Hit a private yard today of an early 1800's house, got a strong screwcap signal (another good example to ...dig ALL signals) and 4 inches down this United States Naval Academy gold ring rolled out. There is a name engraved inside with United States Navy engraved underneath his name. This gentleman is no longer with us but he was an admiral. I have a call in to his daughter to let her know I have found her Dad's ring and am waiting to hear from her to get it back to her. There is no gold content engraved in the ring but I am assuming it is at least 10k.

Maine,

You never disappoint. I have been gone from the board from a while, and of course I came back and saw the ring you returned earlier and the great story behind it, and now I see another great find.

I knew when I could return to typing that I would be sure to see some great finds from you.

Congratulations,

Congratulations on the nice recovery, and applause for the benevolent act of seeking out the owners kin to return what obviously will be a sentimental keepsake for the family.

That is one big beautiful ring. By giving the ring to the his daughter, you have given her something more than memories to hold on to. Great job.

Awesome find and it is great that you are returning it to his family. I think I know that coastline in your avatar. Is it Sebago Lake I vacation up there regularly and will be heading up to the golf and RV resort on the 25th.
