Been too busy to get out this summer but yesterday I found myself with a few hours and a very nice day. For lack of any good permissions I thought "I'll just go try where everyone floats a seasonal/irrigation creek". Turns out those people loose a lot of sunglasses and a few rings. The gold ring is a 9 carat ring from Australia with "I love you" written in 9 languages, and I will be trying to find the owner of the class ring. If I do I'll try to get a video and post it.

Congrats on those prosperous 3 few hours. You made a great wage when you pulled those rings. Good Luck on the return.

North Pole Alaska is a pretty small place. I bet you can find the owner of the ring.

I must have a setting messed up. I was never notified of any of your comments. Sorry, was not ignoring.
I did locate the only apparent person that It could POSSIBLY belong to. When I told them "where" I found it in "Idaho" all conversation stopped. Oops! Maybe wasn't supposed to be where they were. LOL
None of the sunglasses were worth anything.
I will be heading back to this location again this year when the water is out of the canal system.

Two of my daughters lived in North Pole, Alaska. I have been there a few times. It is a very pretty place.

So did they want their ring back? Strange they stopped communicating.

I guess he didn't. All communication stopped as soon as I told him where I found it and that is was in Idaho. We are speculating that He either wasn't supposed to be here when He lost it or that is a part of his life that doesn't need to be a part of his life now. I just couldn't believe he didn't even want me to mail it. I'll keep it in my collection because it is a great story and people love hearing it.
