I found a pair of license plates stuck in a hole somewhere last weekend. My friend said some kids probably stole a carsometime in the 80's, burned it, and hid the license plates. So we brought the plates to the RMV, where reluctantly took them I know it's not exactly a touching story about a returned class ring after 40 years apart, but it made me feel all tingly inside.
That was pretty thoughtful Alex, of course the only license plate I have found was from 1945.
We did go detecting in the woods once and up on the side of a hill was a ripped apart jewelry box. We just knew it was probably stolen from somewhere, and detected around it but found nothing.
