I went out to an old farmstead that I knew. The house and buildings have long ago been bulldozed down, but the trees are still there. I worked the freshly tilled fields around the trees and found a lot of iron and some square nails. In among the trees I found a lot of old tin cans, but nothing worth the trip. So I decided to go over to a park that is a half mile from the old farmstead. Last year I found a lot of change on a hill there where the college kids go sledding in the winter. Ten minutes of swinging my detector and I got a tone through my headsets that I've not gotten before. Right smack dab in the middle of the trash settings. So I took out everything but "jewelry" and still got a good solid tone. I dug about six inches down, and low and behold I pulled a class ring out of the dirt. Class of 96, and it still had some thread wrapped around it to bring it down to girlfriend size. Anyway, I took it home, cleaned it up, got all the thread off, and there was a name engraved inside it. So my wife and I got on the internet and started searching. I'm pretty sure that we actually found the owner. Same name, same school. If it is him, he lives a hundred twenty miles away. I'm waiting for him to get back to me. I lost my class ring when I was in high school fifty years ago, so I would really like it if someone found it and got it back to me. Probably not going to happen, but it would be pretty cool for me to find someone else's class ring and then get it back to them. I'm pretty excited about this whole thing.
