Lost Gold Ring Found in Saline Michigan
Burnin’ Daylight……
…..as Thursday evening approached, Tom and his wife were hurrying to finish up raking and bagging leaves but somewhere in the yard his ring came off. Even though they were productive in getting their yardwork done, putting in a good effort to search for the ring brought no luck. With Tom leaving on a business trip today they didn’t want to keep wasting time looking around. We agreed to meet this morning until he had to go, which left us about an hour to search. Starting with the bags I scanned them all with my MXT metal detector to no avail. Next, I went to the back yard area where he thought the ring fell off. Nothing was detected so I started to search a larger area which still produced no results. Scanning the grass on the side of the house while walking to the front yard still brought no luck. At this point, Tom had to leave and told me to keep searching. Searching the grass area where he mentioned they were not raking I got a huge signal on the metal detector. Using my handheld pin-pointer I scanned thru the thick grass and there was his ring! I ran up to knock on the door and waved for his wife to come out to where his ring was, and we both wondered how it got there! With smiles on our faces, we both agreed that Tom’s next few text messages would be quite illuminating!

I found this Ferris state university class ring at the ball field in Ithaca Mi. I almost passed over it because I was getting tired and I thought it might be another chewed up zinc penny. To my surprise it was a 10 k gold class ring. I looked at the inside edge and found the name of the owner and immediately started looking for James Thompson. As it turned out James is the principal at Ithaca high school. When I arrived at the school to return the ring, James told me the story of how he lost it. He said that he was coaching football and it must have came off while throwing the ball. This was more than twenty years ago. If it wasn’t for my wife asking me to pick up our daughter I wouldn’t have been there to find it, because I had already left another park and was heading back home. For some reason I seem to find gold when I follow my wife’s orders. James was very happy to have his ring back, and I was happy to have found it for him.
