On Saturday I dug an interesting item near by in N Virginia where I live; a vintage Avon Sales Representative pendant marked 10K Gold with the lady’s name engraved on the reverse: Mrs. M. P. Collins 1944.
This is the first personalized anything that I have ever dug and also the first gold find I have dug with the Deus; I knew immediately that I just had to return this previous keep sake momento to the next of kin.
A genealogist reached out to me on Facebook and informed me that this woman and her husband were killed in a horiffic automobile accident in Nov 1956 and she had no children of her own; only 3 brothers per the obituary dated Nov 1956 she sent me.
After 3 days researching online databases for this woman’s brother’s next of kin and a dozen phone calls later to these brother’s “potential” children, I was able to connect this morning with with one of the brothers sons wife. After explaining why I called- she understood and could connect the dots regarding the pendant I want to return.
She gave me her husbands cell ph number ( he is the direct nephew) of the late Mrs. M.P. Collins . I texted him photos of the Avon pendant and asked him to call. me Lord willing in the next week or so I can finally mail this family keepsake to its rightful owner; just like the Bible says; “it is much better to GIVE than to receive. AMEN
Merry Christmas XP Deus diggers!
