Class Ring Found After 47 years

Bob and Sandy Kerr (standing) used their metal detecting equipment and skills to find a ring lost by Ginger Vail in the 1700 block of Main Street in winter 1962. (Photo by Kevin Gray)
Hanging freshly laundered cloth diapers after a snowfall wasn’t any fun for Ginger Vail of Osawatomie in winter 1962, but that was what she had been doing shortly before discovering her 1958 class ring from Miami R-1 High School in Amsterdam, Mo., was missing.

Cool story, thanks.

I found a 14K wedding band once and was able to locate the owner due to the large size of the ring and the village it was lost in was very small.

I love the fact that this hobby could bring back lost items from the past

Nice! Thanks for sharing.
Yep, that's something I hope to accomplish one day, to find something long lost that you can return to the family.

It is nice to hear of others getting their high school class ring back after years of being lost. I wish Wild Willy and I would of found mine.

Thanks, that the best public relations message the hobby can have "word of mouth". Nice story.
