My good friend Jack has been telling me for the past 22 years about how he lost his class ring in 1961 while digging a water line on the property I now own. His Grandfather built the house in the late 1920's and Jack grew up there. Got my first metal detector a few years ago and every time he would come by he would ask "found my ring yet?" It became a running joke between my wife and I every time we went out in the yard to find "treasure" (we have found quite a few nice old items in the yard-it's about an acre).
Well Friday I was bored and decided to do a little hunting where I knew I would find some old black powder bullets and such. Dug 5 bullets, an intact mason jar lid, and a few odds and ends when I decided to try another spot. First signal was different from any I had heard before so I pinpointed and dug. Saw a glint of yellow, pulled it out, knocked off the dirt and there it was-Jack's long lost ring!! My wife was close by and I said "you aren't going to believe this-I think I found Jack's ring". Needless to say she thought I was pulling her leg until I walked over to her and showed her the ring. She was so excited she made me call Jack right then and ask him to come over. Called him and told him I needed his help on a project I was working on. He arrived about fifteen minutes later and my wife had the ring in a box and handed it to him saying "do you think this is worth anything-we found it in the yard". He opened the box and was speechless (which is a feat in itself if you know Jack!!). I can't imagine a better find!!
