Technically this should be under the "Lost and found" category, most likely, but since it was a beach find I figured I would share it with you guys.
I found this ring back in March of this year. I cleaned it up good, and held onto it as one of my trophies. Well, fate seemed that I was destined to get this ring back to its proper owner.
I reached out to FelixtheCat about two weeks ago and actually got out hunting with him last weekend. We got to talking over finds and adventures, and what are the chances that the only class ring I found thus far belongs to an alumnus of the high school he works at. Well, I told him I was ready to return the ring and he made the proper arrangements.
I shall let the young lady remain relatively anonymous by name, but it was a pleasure to meet her and get the ring back to her. She was beyond ecstatic and emotional over the reunion. I'm not quite sure what pretenses Felixthecat got this young lady to the school for the ring return (probably college things or visiting an old teacher), but she was completely blindsided by the reveal and had no idea that this was the TRUE reason for her return to the high school campus. This was an AMAZING experience for me and I look forward to ring returns in the future. Currently trying to work on another return (an engraved men's wedding band) at this current moment in time. Don't mind my super cheesy smile. It is hands down one of my favorite moments in my thus far relatively short detecting career.
