After spending a despicable amount of time doing my taxes this weekend, I had to go out for a sanity hunt today. Armed with my new Bluetooth headphones, I was off to the beach. Got there, turned on the headphones, they won’t pair. [emoji2962]
Wonderful! So off I went, water hunting with no headphones and using the equinox speaker like a goon. Then came the guy with a chainsaw who decided to cut up all the giant tree sections that washed ashore. I basically wandered around in the water as far from the noise as possible. It sucked! When the chainsaw guy left, I went back to the spot I wanted to hunt and found the 1922 class ring (14k) and the Paratrooper sterling pin hiding in the iron.

I’ll send the new headphones back for another new pair that hopefully works. Weird thing is they went into pairing mode when I tried it before leaving the house but they wouldn’t work after that.

Real nice one! Guys with chains saws can be entertaining on a beach. Was watching a crew cut down a damaged condo overlook. Guy cutting the pilings would stand under it. Guy up top would look down. Guy up top feel it getting sketchy, they both take off running. Doesn't fall they both get back on and under it and repeat process:laughing:
 
I have people driving cars down here that old.... but apparently they dont go to the beach and loose much.:laughing:

I love that ole yellow.....
 
Very nice George.. glad you got out... I called my CPA who told me he was going to have to ask for an extension to do my taxes as well as others... he just got out of the hospital after having shoulder surgery... didn't expect any money back anyway..
 
I agree! Love it!

You going to return it..;)..they would be at least 112 years old...:shock:

I hate when someone asks that question....



You mean you don't try to return all those school rings you find Joe? ;)

That is bad karma if you believe in that fairy tale :lol:
 
Great finds - I also like the design of that ring. Maybe "New Britain Normal" school?

I think you're correct.

New Britain Normal school was founded in 1849 and is today known as Central Connecticut State University. I may reach out to the school on this one.
