I know his last name and have left a message for him.

What a mess! I am not sure you can legally keep it if you know who it belongs to. You might check you local laws. I would try to reach Winston and let the two of them figure out who gets the ring. ....so are the Days of our Lives! Let us know what happens!


You're right, this is a mess.
I thought this was going to end with a happy couple and me just as happy for getting it back to them. >:(

Either way, its really his I think.
 

THIS JUST IN:

The insanity of this story is growing.....I found Winston on Facebook and he and I have a mutual friend. :o

I just tried to call my friend to see if she can help.
 

CRAZY !! We live in a pretty small world after all. :laughing7:
 

Maybe I should cut the ring in half and send them each a half. :laughing9:
....or at least the part with their names on it and Ill keep the rest. :laughing9:
 

I would say since the ring will bring bad memories ,you should keep it. He will sell it for weight. Very noble thing you are doing .
 

Yeah I want the tainted thing out of my house too. :laughing9:

Probably isnt worth all that much for weight though I'd think.
Although I know little about gold as Ive never found any before. :laughing7:

The 14k white gold mans wedding ring I found is worth $160 as scrap... that depends who you ask $160 could be a lot to some.

I understand your situation is a tough one to be in... but you do the right thing and it will feel great and then you'll find something even better for you to keep!

problem is what should you do... hopefully the guy won't want it.

Yeah the guy hasnt called me back at all.
The ring is 8.5g 18k so worth some $ I guess.
You'd think he'd want it but who knows how the marriage ended.
 

true she might have bought it but she gave it to him as the inscription says * ( a gift once "given" is no longer "yours") so legally it is his item , no matter what she says -- being they are divorced -it is highly possible that once returned "'winston" will sell for scrap ( due to bad memorys) but since you now "know" who the owner is, you should contact him and see if he wants it or not -- if not it seems you got a "tainted love" ring to sell for scrap * --

as per current price at full melt value 8.5 grams of 18k is worth $339.03 -- of which you should get at least 50% in value so say $160 / 170 bucks at minimum .
 

About $342.00. I think you've done your part...now I'd just kick back and enjoy it! ;D

Yeah I left him a message at his home. I tried to call since then with no answer and no return yet.
I guess Ill wait and see. I told him on the message that I found it so I guess its in his hands now.
I'll wait a week or so and then will start shopping for a place to sell it.
Ive never sold gold and expect to get shafted. :laughing7:
 

well if you know its worth about $340 in gold value say so and say i know i can not expect full value since you got to turn a profiet but I/m not a drunk or crackhead and my rents already paid so I'm not taking less than half of current spot melt value (currently about the $160 to $170 range)- do it as a straight up sale -- half the value for me and half for you , thats fair -- if not I walk away and someone esle will get what could be your bussiness plain as that--this ring don't eat and it will cost me nothing to hold on to it until I get a fair deal .-refused to get totally hosed.
 

Hmmmm,...out of curiousity I went over to Facebook to have a look at Mr. White from Athens. My gaydar really pinged, so I can surmise that this may have been a bitter divorce. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay, but just sayin'..
 

I think under the circumstances, I would sell it, keep 50% of the proceeds and offer to give each of them 25%. If they bulk .. keep their share, too.
Or, offer to sell it back to them at melt. If neither come thru, sell it and keep 100% of the proceeds.
