LOST GOLD HEIRLOOM CLASS RING IN DURHAM, NC…..FOUND!!!
I received a text from a young man at Duke University. He stated he lost a family heirloom class ring. I told him I’d come out tonight and see if I could find it.
I get there and get the story. He was playing frisbee and threw it awkwardly when he felt the ring fly off but didn’t see where it landed.
I start my search and in about 20 mins I found the lost ring in the area of about where he felt it had to have landed. It was found based on the information provided.
I asked him if he could share the history of the ring.
This is a short story of the ring:
“The ring was from my great uncle’s high school graduation in 1953. He later became an army officer and passed away from his service before I was born (I was named after him).
It was then given to my uncle, who passed away, then to my dad who gave it to my sister, who passed it to me. It’s now been in our family for 73 years.”
I was so glad this one was found and returned! All ring recoveries are important, but the sentimental and heriloom ones are the most rewarding.

Yesterday I received a call about a lost gold signet ring believed to be lost in the yard after doing some yard work. It was lost a few days ago. But today it’s back where it belongs. Ty again to everyone who likes and shares my metal detecting journey!!!!
