Quick detective work I found owner.
Joyce has been reunited with her class ring.
Turns out it was stolen 22 years ago.
She’s tickled.

Luv the reunion stories. Good on you. You can't put a price on human relations like that.

Good deal Tns.

Nice ring looks old.

Thanks folks.
The school listed on ring was small town school. One I am familiar with, wife graduated from there. Likely didn’t have over 45 graduates in class.

So I called the guidance counselor at high school. Told her I had unusual request. I wanted to know what last name of gal named Joyce was in 1997 class. She told me they don’t keep records past 20 year point. I said but you do have a graduate group picture on the wall in school don’t you?
She said yes.
Said she would go look and for me to call back in an hour.
I did call back.
Got Joyce’s last name.
She said she checked in office and said she lived in neighboring town and even had a Facebook account active with her maiden name. The bonus was she even told me where she worked.
So I called her place of employment and left a message with a very courteous lady for Joyce to call me. That I may have something that belongs to her.

Joyce did call me about half hour later.
I asked questions and she described ring to a tee.
Turns out Joyce has a twin sister.
Both sisters parents bought 2 rings actually especially made for their 2 daughters and had Birthstone put in both rings. Identical rings excerpt for the first names engraved on both.
Turns outs Joyce’s ring was stolen from her home some 22 years ago.

And you know the rest of the story.
Her dad has passed, but her mom survives.
Hopefully this ring will put a smile on Joyce’s mother face too.
It sure did mine when I returned.

Cheers.

Good follow up story.

I've noticed when friends and family come over and look at my cabinet displays, here's what happens: While I'm pointing out gold coins, rare buttons and buckles, etc..., my wife starts regaling the guest with the stories of the posse returns. And ... comically .... THOSE are the finds and stories that stir up the guests to get engaged. Meanwhile, I'm feebly trying to point out a rare gold coin or button, to no avail, haha

Nice!

That's the last thing Joyce expected was for her stolen custom class ring to show up back into her life...way cool. Wonder if she had suspicions about who stole the ring....and, would she confront them and show them the ring....that would blow their mind. Ha! Was there anything else stolen ? Was it a burglary ?

She said three rings total were taken from her bathroom.
She gave me a description of the other 2 rings.
I will be back on the site today where I found the class ring.
One of the others was a junk ring (non silver and non gold), the other ring is silver with a diamond.

Good man TSS, good man!

That was indeed an awesome story behind the return and I was glad to be there when you found it!

Go figure that you proposed digging those nickel-ish signals and the ring was the second signal you dug!

Great hunt. Great rovery. Great return, man!

TNSSS----note added S for Sherlock---nice work guy.
