Prep, great find there and glad you were able to get out for a while. Should be a snap to locate original owner.

Nice find and thanks for the additional info. I have a niece who lost her H.S. class ring years ago and want to next try looking for it using the Safari. Having an approx. TID reading to keep an eye out for will be of a big help.

Nice find. For a 2002 class ring it sank awfully fast to have been 5 inches deep - even if they lost it in 2002 but I would assume they wore it a year, maybe two. You said it was near a volley ball court, was it in the sand?

Anyway, that is a very nice find and since it is such a recent class year, I am sure someone will be very happy to know their long lost ring is alive and well. Keep us posted...

Ah, that's a great story - I am sure she was excited about getting it back. This will be a story she will tell her friends and family about hundreds of times I am sure.

I found a 1963 class ring a couple of years ago. That high school was consolidated and closed in 1967. It turned out the guy who lost it still lived in the area and I contacted him and gave it to him. He said he remembered that he had lost it shortly after getting it and did not have it when he graduated. He was kind of emotional about it and said he needed to tell me a little story to explain himself. It seems his grandfather lived with them when he was growing up and he liked to drink from time to time. Things would come up missing around the house and, sure enough, Grandpa would show up with a bottle. So he spent all of these years wondering if his grandfather has sold that ring for a bottle. He said he was really happy to know that didn't happen and knowing that was worth a lot more to him than the ring. It made my day and that story is certainly worth more to me than the ring.
