1965 Gold Class Ring - RETURNED!

[Recovering Relics]

Hi folks!

On November 13th I went metal detecting at my neighbor's house, which was built in 1695. I decided to focus on an area that I hadn't detected much. I had been digging miscellaneous pieces of trash all day, when I got a sold penny/zinc-penny signal at about 4 inches deep. When I dug down, staring me right in the face was a big gold ring. This was my 2nd gold ring of 2011 and my 3rd in one year. When I went home to clean it up, I saw that it was from the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy - Class of 1965. On the inside I read the initials "JPD". When I saw that I knew what I had found. I found my neighbor's class ring. The next day, I brought it over to my neighbor and returned it to him. He was pretty happy to have his ring back and I actually received a reward. The reward consisted of a few old coins, and some finds my neighbor's brother made while he stayed here for a month and detected. Today when I was detecting, although I didn't find much, I had an encounter with a 10 point buck and a doe. The buck got pretty close to me before it ran away. That was something I will never forget. The ring was a great find, but I'm glad that I returned it back to my neighbor.

Great job, that is the first gold ring that I have heard of sounding in the same as a penny. I have three class rings & can't find the owner of any of them.

It's amazing that of all the people who might have lost the ring, you knew the owner!!

That doesn't happen often unless the owner contacted you to find the ring.

I've returned a few and am looking for the owner of one now.

Great job RR,
