My grandmother lost her wedding ring about 40 years ago and it meant a lot to her. A few years ago she got a random call. The city was repaving an old road and someone had found the ring! Some 35 years later! I'm glad you got it back to her 😊
I love watching class ring recoveries. I lost mine in 1969, just a few months after getting it, and was so upset. It was found months later in the spring, after the snow piles at the neighboring towns school parking lot had melted and was returned to my school. I can still remember jumping Ang running down the hall,to the school office when the notice came on the intercom that a 1971 class ring with the initials LLM has been found and was in the office. I was so excited. My parents drove me to that school parking lot where we looked everywhere in the snow for it the next day after I had lost it. We had gotten 3 inches of snow and the snow plow had the lot half plowed when we got there. I never thought I'd see my ring again. You can just imagine as a young girl who had saved her baby sitting money for a longtime so she could have the best class ring design they offered, it was special!
That is a wonderful adventure Linda! So happy you got it back. I found another from 1965. I am still searching for her. I have a name, but I am not getting any responses from contacts found. She will be 75-76 years old now. I really hope I find her too. I found another and returned it as well, did you get to see that one? Its over on my long content channel th-cam.com/video/J_FShTuiIag/w-d-xo.html
What an awesome day of hunting. You were out standing....errrr, outstanding.... in your field. The recovery and return of the class ring is inspiring and is one of those stories that put detectorist in a good light. Well done!
WoW, 21 years lost and returned. Since I started detecting back in 1973 I've only found 2 H.S. Rings. The one in N.C. had only been lost for 8 months, and the one in Delaware was lost for I think 3 years.
WOW, I dug a 2002 class ring back in 2016. Gave it back to the lady on the news. Great Job, congrats. One of the reason I got into detecting was for ring returns. I got to go look for a guys wedding ring Monday, he lost on Fathers Day. Found it. His wife just had a baby 10 days ago. They where happy.
Nice in my many years detecting was only able to turn one item back to its owner, one of my best memories for sure. Good on ya , may God bless you indeed
The silver ring has either a cz or a semi precious stone which could be zircon which some confuse with cz but it’s actually a real stone with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
I've never really been exposed to metal detecting. I'm only 18 mins in, and I find myself sitting on the edge of my seat. I can only imagine what's yet to come. If he gets this excited finding nickels, things gonna be crazy if he stumbles on a dime! 😉

That was one of the most amazing days of my adventures so far! Yeah, the back to back rings after the TRIFECTA is unbelievable. The recoveries are so worthy! Thank you Lisa!
Indeed! Best feeling ever!! Done it twice now in just a few months! Here is recovery 1 th-cam.com/video/J_FShTuiIag/w-d-xo.html Working on #3 as we speak!
Fantastic story with the ring for Bethany, well done. I have just got my first metal detector and hope I can find and return a precious item to someone. All the best, kind regards, Chris from UK. 👍👍👍
Great job all the way around. I did a Ladies Silver class ring find once, and found the person, an '84 ring. Giving up the gold is definitely a signature move for the detector pro. Any tips you got on gold ring finding, I appreciate.
@@BHigglesShorts Yep. Some good tips can be found on an old channel I had subscribed to, Urban Treasure Hunter, He stopped after his wife died but the vids are still there.
Both of you found beautiful rings and you made an amazing return! Awesomeness!! Sure we're lots of nickels dropped there and you got lucky with a spill! Congrats on your buffalo and war nickels! 💖💯
my dad did metal detecting years ago built his first metal detector found lots of gold and silver he found a lot of class rings returned back to owners using class year books
It’s amazing to see people reunited by their treasured jewelry pieces got lost for a couple years, whoever digs my lost ring when we visited Thailand last 2015, please take care of it. It was my mom’s gift last 2004. It’s a 22k heavy ring with diamonds.

I relate to this. I lost my high school ring at a popular swimming hole and only had it about a week. I was doing good not wearing it until someone kicked over my tennis shoes. I picked it up and put it on my finger. It wasn't 5 minutes later, I dove off the cliff and as soon as my hands hit the water off it came and down it went. Visibility 0% and over 10' deep. I know it's still in that hole of water to this day close to 40 yrs now. I hated to have to tell my parents about losing it because money wasn't easy to come by.
You could retrieve your ring if you wanted to rent the scuba equipment. It should not take over twenty or thirty minutes to get your ring back. From the depths . Back when I could still breathe I retrieved a lot of jewelry and different things around here at the local swimming holes.they all called me back in the day as they all knew I was a old navy diver.
Awesome find, I found a class ring was lost 35 years, found the owner and returned it was found on Carmel beach, he said that ring was around girlfriends neck on chsin.
In 1988, I found a beautiful gold woman's high school ring from 1912.... I had planned on trying to locate her or her family when someone broke into my apartment and stole it and other stuff... I was so mad... I always think about that particular ring.
The silver ring 19:55 will be a zirconia, is my guess, no jeweler would put a diamond of that size in a "silver" ring. A diamond that size will be gold or platinum.
I found a class ring at the lake one time and tracked down the owner of it and returned it to them. They were just like "oh, thanks I guess", and didn't really seem excited about it at all. Like they didn't care one way or the other.
WOW, I've returned 4 now and all of them were super stoked! I even got the news to come out and make her feel super special! th-cam.com/video/6D-uxNmN25Q/w-d-xo.html
What an awesome video! I can't believe how many nickels you found. Where I am, nickels are really rare for some reason. And what an awesome recovery/return. Did she happen to say if the guy who lost it is who she married? Just curious.
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed! Yes, so so so many nickels at this location right now my nickel jar is the most full. No, she didn't marry the boyfriend. hehehehe
What state is this in? My dad is from Booneville, MS and graduated from Booneville High School. I know just about every southern state has a Booneville.
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻 This is the first time I have seen one of your videos. And I enjoyed it so much I subscribed. And I am looking forward to catching up on your episodes. God bless you and yours.
Finding a nickel anyplace means a great deal in my family. When my great-grandma passed she owed my grandma a nickel (meant more like $10 now.) As my grandma was leaving the funeral she found a nickel on top of a powdery snow. When she reached for it, it fell down and she had to dig for it. When my husband passed I would find nickels in random places and still do. It’s a little ‘hello’
Awesome! get those rings back to where they belong
Heck yeah!!
@@BHigglesShorts you gave her a wild story she will always tell for the rest of her life :)

What a joy to see you both so excited for being able to return someone’s treasure. There are still some good people in this world. Bless you!
Thank you so much! I got all kinds of great stuff, always a pleasure being able to return an item!
The ring returns are my all time favorite! I have done a few in my time. Nothing else compares to the joy that one receives returning a lost treasure!

I lost mine when we deployed to Kwang Ju Korea, Team Spirit 85.
How bazaar! My best friend lost hers and it was found in the neighboring town. Just figured it got stuck on someone’s tire.
I lost my high school class ring, back in the mid '70's. I found it again after my mother passed, about two years ago. Lost for 47 years.
Wow that’s crazy!!
Nice that your mom held it for u. Probably should of asked. Or was it a she toook it but forgot, like all moms
That's such a honest beautiful thing you do giving the ring back to that lady we need more honest people like you in the world😊
thank you so much, it was worth SO much more to her, than the little bit of gold value to me
What an awesome day of hunting. You were out standing....errrr, outstanding.... in your field. The recovery and return of the class ring is inspiring and is one of those stories that put detectorist in a good light. Well done!
