On Thursday March 22, my wife and I were detecting a hiking trail at a local park. I got a nice 10/12 reading on my Minelab 705. Thinking I had another pull tab, I still dug it. The machine said 4 inches so I popped a plug about that deep. Right on the bottom of the plug was a beautiful gold class ring. After a happy dance I inspected it more closely. It was from a local school and it was dated 1992. It also had a first name on the face of the ring. I thought, Becky, I'm going to make your day. Later that evening I had no trouble locating the name and phone number. I called the number and left a message as to who I was and it was about a lost ring. I didn't know it but I had called her parents home and they were out for the weekend. Sunday night they got the message and relayed it to Becky and she called me back. I asked her if she had lost a ring and she said she did. Well actually her boy friend (now her husband) lost it 22 years ago. She described it and I told her that I had found it and would like to meet up with her to return it.This afternoon I met her at the park were it was lost.This was my first returned ring so I had to take a few pictures. She thanked me again and got in her car and droved off. It's something how a ring could be hiding in the ground for 22 years, and back on her finger 4 days after it was found.
