Last Monday, I found a class ring in about thigh deep water at my local beach.
It was a pain trying to get it scooped up in rough surf using an aluminium 5" scoop... took me about 15 tries :BangHead:
I was rewarded for my persistence, and was overjoyed to see gold in the scoop (second gold ring ever).

Class of 2012, T.R. Miller High School.
On the inside was inscribed: William Jones.

When I got home, I looked up the school online, turns out it was from a school in Brewton, AL. (about an hour north of my town).

On Tuesday, I called the school and gave the Principal my information. A few minutes later, I received a call from the ring owner. We arranged to meet up today.

Here is Mr. Jones reunited with his ring:

He says he was in about knee-deep water when he was hit by a wave, he felt it fall off and tried unsuccessfully to find it.

I'm happy to have been able to return it to him :happysmiley:

Hate to give those bigs one back..... but it gives you a good feeling when they show how much they appreciate it.

Oh that would have definitely put a dent in the cost of my next water machine, but I think its better he got his ring back and we both have a great story.

At any rate, my Sand Shark isn't done finding rings, she's just getting started ;)
 

Way to go Scottyboy :occasion14: I would like to have seen you get a reward but the reward is also like you said "him getting his ring back and we both have a great story." It seems like every time I return a ring I find a better one very soon. Call it karma or whatever but it seems to work that way. Good luck next time out but I don't think you will be needing luck. :icon_thumleft:
