Found my first class ring!

[bazeball7]

Today was a bonus hunt, because there is still no snow and the ground is not frozen! Hunted an old house site. Found a nice 1920D merc, a toasted 1893 Indian, and a few wheats. After calling it a good day, I decided to randomly swing the coil on the way back to the car. Glad I did because I swung it over a class ring (Marshall HS - Class of 1985). There are initials on the inside so I will try to locate the owner. I don't know what its made of. I took a close-up of the markings on the inside of the ring, but there are no carat numbers, just a circle and two diamonds. Any thoughts? Thanks, and HH. Tim

Is it heavy? I'm pretty sure thats gold. Congrats on your first!

Jostens had a gold like ring called lustrium or something along those lines. Couldn't tell the difference. Did it come in high or low?

Nice finds..Yea they make class rings out of stuff i cant even pronounce not just silver and gold anymore. Anyway nice ring hope its the real deal forya

[frankiefry]

Congrats on your nice ring find and the silver. I think the lustrium is a silver color, rather than a gold color, so you could actually have gold! Good Luck finding the owner. : )

Nice find! I graduated in 1986 and my class ring was made of Aurorium (I believe thats what it was). Good luck finding the owner and Congrats!

Very nice and congrats... Does it say 1985? can't tell 100%. Are there initials inside those diamond hallmarks?

[scout23]

Yes, it is 1985, and there are initials inside. I haven't found out which school it is yet, but looks like Marshall HS on the center emblem. thanks for looking.

Great finds, that ring is a real honker!

Congrats on the silver and "gold"! If it really aurellium...then it is fake, just a good looking gold like metal. But I bet it still would mean a lot to whoever lost it to get it back!

It actually rang up in the zinc range, and for that reason, I think it is probably not gold or silver. Good luck on finding yours! Tim
