This is was my 1st hunt of the year and my 1st GREAT find... It's "3 in 1", because it was my 1st Non Costume Jewelry Ring, My 1st ever Real Gold Find, and My 1st Ever Class Ring. That said, try and imagine my excitement and of all days to be hunting alone, this was one of them.
Thanks to a lady in a local Facebook group, who had the right yearbook and was willing to search through it for me, we were able to locate the owner and will be returning this ring Sunday January 15th, 2017. This ring was lost 35 years ago by the owners boyfriend at that time, so needless to say she was surprised to hear that it had been found and she would be getting it back. I will post a video of the return after it happens.
The picture of the ring in the ground, is it just as it was when I pulled the plug out of the ground as I had not even touched the ring yet. The ring as seen in the other pics was cleaned with nothing more than tap water and a toothbrush.
It was found using a Whites MXT Pro at a Community Center located in the Free State of Jones aka Jones County Mississippi. The community center and a local church share a parking lot and the ring was originally lost while the boyfriend was at the church.
