Today, I had the pleasure of detecting an area where I KNEW a ring had been lost. Someone contacted me about an ad I had placed to try to get the 22K gold ring back to the owner. They asked if I'd found anything at a local middle school. I told them no, but I'd go check when I had a chance.
I went out to the field, and 75 minutes later I had a ladies wedding ring in hand. I dug out the guys number, and he put me in touch with his daughter-in-law (who lost the ring), and she described it perfectly! She'd lost it about 2 weeks prior, at a little league t-ball game.
She drove the 30 minutes over to the school and met me in the parking lot to pick it up. Offered a reward, which I declined (and the father-in-law texted back, offering something, too, which I also declined.)
it's not often I get to give back a wedding ring. The gal almost cried. It was fun and a feel good moment. Park pirate I may be, and I love it when I get to keep the gold, but going searching for a known lost ring is a cool experience.
Was fun to get it back! Here's the pictures of the ring at the find, and the return.
The last picture was the second ring I found, about 10 minutes after the diamond one. It was on a chain, and just a junker. Fun find, still.

I love finding gold just like all of us but returns are my favorite. Kudos on a job well done!
