Heres one odd find.Would you throw it back into the sea?

[Brandy[Ma.]]

Someone stopped in the shop the other day and we started talking detecting.He say he and a friend were riding horses along the shore and stopped to take a rest.He looked down and there was a hankie sticking out of the sand,It was tied up tight so he put it in his pocket till he got home.He opened it and this is what he found.A gold ring,some stones,and what looks to be ashes [bones].Do you throw them back in the sea and have someone else find the ring after the cotton hankie rots away or washes up again,or do you keep the ring and say it was meant to be?

but people walk by , scuffing the sand; the person might have forgotten about the handkerchief and its contents while packing up to leave the beach and it sunk into the sand.

The person to whom I returned a class ring did something similar; he took off his class ring before going into the water, and placed it on his towel on the sand; came back from swimming ..shook out the towel ....left the beach forgetting that he had removed his ring ....40 yrs. later I found it .

Dad as well as some cigars and a few beers
Those were a few things he really loved and Im sure thats what you have plus the ash remains

What would I do If I thru everything back it would be deeper in the sand so no one else could find them
Or far out in the water and the ring would not be found

Hi Brandy,

Out in the woodsI dug up a pewter mug over a year or 2 ago with a gold and ruby class ring in it, a date that someone was born and died on the mug and a name. there were also some other keepsakes in it. The thought that I should rebury it was strong and I did. The thought also came up to leave the ground as it is because it was in a since, a burial site. I left feeling like I did the right thing and I even posted the pictures here. Well a while later a friend who was new into detecting wanted to get out and I thought it would be cool for him to see if his ACE 250 would find it. I figured it would be OK to rebury the mug. Well we did just that and I lost my one and only pinpointer that day. We looked all over as we were hunting in the snow and as much as I retraced my steps the pinpointer was no where to be found. I would probably throw it back or if I was really hurting for cash I would thank God and pawn it.

Apparently someone wanted to get rid of a memory of a marriage...........old wedding rings are usually passed on to family members or very close friends to keep the memories going.

throw it back...

if someone else finds it, so be it. It will be a moral decision for them at that point and the cycle will continue. Perhaps everyone else is right and you were meant to find it...although the possibility exists you were meant to find it as a test of humanity.

The choice is yours and yours alone....
