Default Found the owner of class ring!!

I finally located the owner of the class ring that I found. I left a me ssage on her school site. The crazy thing is that she joined her schools alumni site 1 week before me. Whats crazy is the ring is from 1974. Now after all these years she signed up on this site one week before I did and the ring was found where it had to have been lost over thirty years ago. I know this because the old motel that I found it at was demolished that long ago. I havent talked to her yet, but only a matter of time now that I plasterred the site sith the info. I actually had to join the site for $20!! I thought when I found it that I wanted to keep it,, but the thrill of returning it and hearing the story of how she lost it is priceless. Also sharing the story of how I found it in a site that is now nothing but woods!! I hope to hear from her soon and will keep you informed and take picks. I cant wait.

Congrats on that ring find and finding the owner.

Hmmm, it was a motel when she lost it and you think she is going to tell you what she was doing there? I think not.

Lol maybe she was using it as a sinker and practicing her fishing cast on the motel lawn. There could be other things!

Naw, but in all honesty, congrats on tracking the person down. If I found that I would probably want to keep it. I hope it can bring a smile to both your faces.

Right, right. It was out by the old pool, so I guess swimming. Although she could well have been hunting Whitetails as thick as the woods are now there.....haha

There was tail hunting, but not whitetail hunting.

Congrats on the return.
