Default Two class rings in a week

Last Thursday I found a ladies silver class ring from Lake Zurich high school. Not having much luck finding the owner from class of 1972. Today I found a Gold class ring from Oregon high school and I think I found the owner of this one, I'll call her tomorrow. I'll post pictures after I talk to her.
My wife found a 1964-D rosie and 12 wheaties. She found 11 of them in one hole dated 1910 to 1929.

About 10 years ago I found a class ring from 1976. After calling many numbers in that town with the same last name I got a hold of the persons mother. About 10 minutes later I get a call from the owner of the ring. She immediately came from a few towns over to pick up the ring and handed me a $100 bill. Turns out she was at cheerleading practice, removed her ring and couldn't find it afterwards. She and her friends thought some of the boys there that day had stolen it. When she got it from me it was 2 weeks before her class reunion so at least she had a fun story to tell her classmates.

The hard part is trying to find people with just initials to go by.
