My 1st ever Class Ring, found January 4th, 2017 in Rural Jones County. It was also my 1st ever ring that was not costume jewelry and my 1st ever real gold item, so to say I was ecstatic would be an understatement. This ring was actually found in an area I know I have been over 10+ times in the last year or so, it had also been covered by a couple of friends of mine, and I have been told by different locals that others have hunted this property over the years, but I guess this ring just wasn't ready to be found. At the time of this posting the owner of this ring has been found and stated that it was lost by her boyfriend about 35 years ago. I will be returning the ring and hopefully posting pics and a video of that event.
The name on the ring is Tina and the school was South Jones High School class of 1983, it was made by Artcarved and is 10kt gold.
