I contacted the private HS registrar to identify the individual by their initials. They sent me the only contact info they had, a mail address. I tried to reach, but found out they had since passed away. I tried and spent hours trying to reunite!

Not a return of a lost item, but nonetheless a good deed with a metal detector. Last December, the County Girl Scout Camp asked me to find a lost water main shutoff valve in the woods on a main that they suspected was losing up to 500 gallons per month. I wanted to say no because I had no idea the Manticore was up for the task. Mains are typically buried 4 ft., and large iron pipes might just cause a signal overload. But I searched and finally got a signal. As it turns out, years ago the area had been regraded for a dirt road cut. Someone extended the valve key access, then drove over it with heavy equipment and reburied it. It was buried in soil and years of leaves. No cost favor.

Kudos to you for trying.

Great try! I have one too. A 1971 and turns out it's the high school class that Ken Burns (historian) attended. No luck on the return...
