Called to get permission to go to a house built in 1919 owner said sure just let me know what all you find! So after all the yard work was done at home it was off to metal detect! Very first dig was a 1964 quarter..I thought "oh yea way to start off" so I find a couple wheats then get dig up this class ring from 1966 with the initials AMM. I know most of the family that has connections to the house but couldn't figure out who would've had the last name that started with an M. But I was sure the owners would know! So I finished the day with a few more wheats, 3 that had been shot with a .22 and a 1932 quarter! Pretty good day! So I left to show the ring to the owners! I showed her the ring last and told her it was from 1966 with the initials AMM. It just so happened to be her half brothers that had just passed away less than a month ago!!!! She was so excited and offered to buy it off of me! She said she was going to visit his wife this week and that she would be so excited that I found it! I told her she didn't owe me a thing!! So I was very happy that it will be returned to where it belongs!!

Great find - bet the family gave you life-time access to their property! Thanks for sharing...
 

So you found two silver quarters, some wheat pennies, and were able to recover and return a class ring to the owner's family all on one hunt! I'd say that is a day I would remember for quite some time. Congratulations on the finds and having the decency to return the ring. Well done!
 

It sure was worth it! One of my better days I have to say!!!
 

Sounds like you had a fantastic day. Thanks for representing us so well!!!!
 

Neat story. You should get an honorable mention from this. I am not sure if we have to vote this, like on banner.
 

I love hearing stuff like this, thanks for being a good advertiser of detecting!
 

Quite a wonderful ring. Even better than that was the fact you made someone quite happy with memories they can visit every time they look at and hold that ring. You are a true ambassador for this hobby. Thank you.
 

Thanks everyone! This is a wonderful hobby that I hope I can enjoy for many years to come! And also a great bunch of members!
 

That's an Honorable Mention story if I ever heard one. Good job bountyhunter04!!!
 

That was really great and your timing was perfect! Congrats on finding the gold ring!
Nice wheats and silvers you got

I forgot to take pics of the ring I returned.
 

Very nice job! That ring will mean the world to the fellow's wife. That's why you found the silvers~Karma!
 

It sure will!! I was hoping to get to be the one to return it but oh well
