In Feb 07, in a park I frequently hunt because it's only fifteen minutes from home I found this 1986 high school class ring.
I live between the park and the high school the ring is from. About a twenty mile spread from school to park with me in the middle.
I called the school and the woman that answered said - "Bring the ring in and I'll put it in the safe."
My obvious reply was. "It will sit unclaimed in the safe until the next ice age, no offence. May I come in and look at a '86 yearbook." A little disgruntled she said "Yes."
The school librarian, a much more efficient yearbook detective than I, found the only gentleman with initials S.E.F. in the book. BINGO!
Every # listed in the local phone book under that last name was called, about twenty. No luck.
Checking the internet under the name of the school again, low and behold I found the name of a lady who organized their 2006 class reunion. She said. "Give me 15 minutes and I'll have a phone number and/or address for you." Five minutes later she called back and said. "I only have an address."
Great! And not too far from my home either.
8:00 PM. I drive to the street the house is on. No one home. Spotting two teenage young men shooting hoops in a driveway close by I asked "Do you know what time these people usually get home?" The older one replied, "They moved out last week."
I related this to the lady that gave me the address. She told me she had already sent over a hundred E-mails to former classmates of S.E.F. and she said "Sure" when I asked if I could leave the ring with her.
I'm sure this classy lady will eventually get the ring back to one luck guy.
All the best
