Last week I received a call asking if I could search for a lost class ring. Bill thinks that he lost it in his front yard. I started to ask the normal questions like: What were you doing? Is it in grass, dirt, water? And so on.

Bill stated that he was shoveling snow, ok it is summer now. He said the ring was new and it was bothering him while shoveling. So he took it off and put it in his pocket. He forgot about it and noticed 2 days later that the ring was gone.  He was reading stories about “Ring Finders”, did a search and found me.

Here is the kicker, IT WAS LOST IN THE 1960’s. 50+ years ago. I told him I would be over later in the day to look. It was a small yard. I grid searched in one direction. No luck. Searched in the other direction. The ring is not there. Bill was happy that I looked but disappointed that I didn’t find it. If I did it would have made one heck of a story…
