Quick hunt yields two first for the newbie with my "old timy" detector!

[ArthurC]

I had just a few minutes to kill between obligations today so I stopped at the local high-school and parked near the ticket gates to the ball field. After a few minutes I decided to turn my discrimination as high as it would go and just coin shoot. I found a little clad then got a half dollar reading at three inchess...I just knew it would be a crumbled up can....but not today! My very first half dollar, a 1979, i'll take it! Then I turned to my left and swumg and go a low nicket target show up on the screen. Normally with the discrimination that high you dont pick up anything but coins or silver. I almost didnt dig but something told me why not....3" down this beauty popped out in my hand, my first real ring and its a class ring at that! I assume its made out of pewter. I will post the markings in the hopes someone can tell me how to find the owner and get it back to them. What a great hunt!


(edit)The markings are as follows "SA 124077-2-4" then the initials "LGB" (edit) Also has a P+. Is this possible platinum or white gold Help!!

Any ideas on how to use this info? It's a A.C. Flora High School ring Class of 1977

THanks for looking! P.S. I know these finds aren't that spectacular compared to some post on here, thanks for letting me share my "treasures" with you.

Nice find! It'll be really cool to return the ring, since the info is there.

Unlike expensive "high-end" jewelry like solitaires, etc., class rings were Never insured, so their loss was always a loss to whoever owned them. I've returned about a dozen rings over 20 years, and managed to track down every one except a 1941 silver class ring. Never could find the high school from the initials of the school on it.

Nice find for sure , great if you can return it to the former owner ! It sure looks like most of the other 10K gold class rings I've seen !

Palladium is the metal I believe.
