I continue to find great stuff in my own 1950's neighborhood. The one yard next door to me gave me a sterling class ring and a small 14k gold snake ring that was squished. My focus lately has been the other yard next door to me and it has also given me some nice finds. My last 4 hunts there gave me a silver dime each time and lots of wheats. Today was the best hunt so far though. My second target dug was a 14k wedding band weighing 7.5 grams. I can't wait to work my way down the street and get permission for more yards!
**UPDATE**
The ring had initials and an anniversary date of 6-29-74 engraved on the inside of the band. I asked the owner of the house and a couple of neighbors if they knew any of the previous residents. One of the neighbors actually graduated from high school with the owner of the ring. He got me his information and I called him. He was thrilled to hear that I found his ring. He said he thought he dropped it down the floor drain in the garage and that his wife was pretty upset with him about losing it. He said he would send me the replacement ring he bought but I told him that was completely unnecessary. They're still married but they live about 5 hours away now. I mailed it back to him today. Hopefully karma will allow me to find something really good soon!
