Two days ago I found a 1949 10k class ring. I posted it here on the old treasure net and au seeker gave me the info I needed to return it to the rightful owner. So kudos to you. So yesterday afternoon I gave the owner a call and left a voice mail with my contact info. I spent all day wondering if the owner would get back to me. Well he did this afternoon and he was touched and twenty minutes later I was sitting in his living room. I found out he gave the ring to his high school sweet heart and late wife there senior year of high school. She lost the ring soon after. But I found out that directly across the street from the river where I found the ring was his wife's childhood home. Now in his eighties and livng alone I was able to give this man one thing that brought back his youth and memories of him and his late wife. It was truly touching. He offered to give me money or something for returning his lost ring I told him the smile on his face was reward enough. So I'll all like you'd to meet Fred. Thank you for reading- justin

You are a good man Justin.

I wished Fred’s wife could still be alive to see her sweetheart’s ring returned.

Great story!!! Awesome person... We need more people in this world like you!

Congrats
 

Great story, not alot of people would do what you did. Thanks for sharing. There are still good people in this world.
 

Thank you everyone for the kind words. When I found the ring I knew it wasn't mine to keep. And then finding the owner alive and getting to meet him was just awesome.
 

Thanks for a job well done! Your actions made all of us look good. You can bet his late wife will be on his mind more than normal in the coming weeks.

NICE JOB!

HI BOB!
 

What a fantastic story, you are to be commended for doing such a wonderful thing by returning this ring. The memories that I am sure that ring brought bact to him is worth thousands more then the scrap value of the ring.
Job well done:icon_thumright:

God bless you. Does my heart good to see a person take the time and effort to return something so meaningful to a person. Thumbs up to ya brother. :icon_thumleft:
 

That is an awesome story and an awesome conclusion. Good on ya and you probably made his entire year. Good karma is sure to follow.
 

Kudos to you. What a great gift of time you gave back to this man, sometimes its hard to do the right thing but good always comes from it. Youll be finding alot due to your act of kindness.
