Hey Guys
Actually the ring is from a Ocean View High School Basketball Team called The Seahawks. It is a Championship ring from 1998. I need to take more pics of it though. Sorry for the confusion.
I am in the process of looking for the owner. I will let you know how it goes and when it goes down.
As much as I would love to keep it, I think the owner would like to have it back. I am sure he is in his 30's now.

Did Golden loose a ring?? Out here in Southern Cali?? If so what type of ring is it?? Where about's?
Not Tate. Golden is an offensive coach. He was pumped he could potentilly help a player get something back very valueable. Just wrong Seahawks.

For sure!! I could not believe it when I saw it. It was face down into the ground and BIG! It is a championship basketball ring. Not really a class ring. It is hard to believe that it was in the middle of a park. My ATPro hit it hard at a nickel. I think 53 on my scale and it was solid.
This year I am changing up my hunt to look for nickels and Lincolns. 99 percent of the time will be trash but it's that 1 percent rings!! Last year it was only quarters and dimes.
My ATPro has prove itself many times over on how awesome that machine is.

In all fairness, I truely hope you find the owner of the ring but I also believe due compesation for your time and efforts are in order. IMO, the norm regarding such finds should be "Anything I find which is personally identifiable will be "offered" to you for your consideration and "possible" return to your possession". This statement includes the provision that you "will be afforded the opportunity" to reclaim something YOU'VE lost and I'VE found. It doesn't state that ethics or morality overrides a need to include a monetary gratuity to reimburse loss of the monetary value of the target by surrendering it free gratis
. In this case I think a offer to return the ring to it's owner, who, after all, lost possession through their own negligence, for a finders fee equal to 50% of its melt value plus any expenses incurred during the search/location of the owner and postage/insurance fees associated with its return is more than fair. Feeling good is absolutely great
but nonsense and common sense are incompatible neighbors 
when considering the thousands of hours and amount of money you may spend before you find another ring of this value, and it still may be taken to the jewelers and sold for melt value, just not by you

I'm with you. If the owner is still out there trying to find it, I will return a ring. I returned a nice engagement ring this way. However, if the ring has obviously been lost for years, I'm not going out of my way to try to find them to give it away.
I know if I had found this ring, nobody would ever hear about it.
