Eye Balled this ring !!! (Update: Found the owner)

Thought I would never eye ball a find like this before. I was at work a few nights ago and slipped out the back receiving door for a quick smoke. Went back inside and when I opened the door the light from inside the plant casted a noticeable glimmer on the ground. I was a bit in disbelief at first,  but here it is. Belongs to no one here at work, has to be someone that has delivered something at the plant. Hope he returns, we have quite a few regulars that do deliver quite frequently. Gotta find the owner, He's got to be sick. It doesn't look cheap to me either. 14K with three nice looking stones. Thanks for looking, Art...

Finally found the owner of the ring. Talk about a happy person. He is a temporary worker with us. Turns out that he had the ring in some clothes that was carried in through the back door of receiving and fell out of his pants. That was the last night he was on second shift. He didn't realize that it was lost at work, thought it fell out in his car.  About a few weeks later he had overheard that someone found a ring and no one knew who's it was. Since he went to day shift he never went through the back door again, which was where I put the notice about the found ring. Everyone's happy!!, Have a good one, Art...

Nice one

That's a nice ring. I hope for the owners sake that he realizes where he lost it and it gets returned. I found a gold tennis bracelet in the carpark at work several years ago and just handed it over to security. If I lost something valuable I would hope that whomever found it would do the same.

That's a beautiful ring!  It's good of you to want to find the owner, but I'm hoping for you sake that nobody claims it! 

Nice ring and nice of you to try and  return it.

Very nice, congrats! HH, Mike

Cool find - imagine how good you are going to feel - handing it back to the owner! Well done!
Cheers, Mike

Good deal! hope you find the owner....

ouch had to hurt losing that one ----very honest of you to attempt a return---after 1 to 3 months --if theres no claim---think you would "have" a new ring---30 to 90 days is the normal time a "unclaimed" item sits "in police custody"  before "they" say yours----most folks after checking the plant and making sure it was no one theres  (wouldn't want a co worker to say --"he took my ring" now would ya? ) would call it a day and keep it.

WOW!!!...Gorgeous ring. I'd be miserable if I lost mine. My wedding ring is similar but mine only has one diamond and is not worth as much. Well, mine is worth a mint to me though. I've looked for plenty of rings that people lost over the years with my detector and only found 2 of them. Most of the time people just have no clue where they lost them. You may have one that you get to keep there.

Nice ring and hopefully the owner will have it back, if not you've got a good ring!!

Some people have all the luck. Great find.  HH Dennis in Idaho

Great find and you're an honest person and that's worth more.

Good eye Art...good eye...Let's just hope it's a permanent lost and found!

That's a nice ring.  Even nicer is you wanting to find the owner and return it.

Took the ring to a local Jeweler today and he said the ring is in the $600 range plus. The diamonds are just under a half karat.. HH Art...

Art, Thank You So Much For Finding My Ring, You Can Bring It By The House This Weekend, Thanks Again. John... ;)

John, You always told me that I should never get attatched to any of my finds, and I know this is good advice. Therfore you should not get attatched to "MY" finds either. Ya see it's only a material thing. However, Our friendship will always be there. There is no ring big enough to match our friendship.....  (besides, it probably would'nt fit ) 

The gentleman tried to give me a reward but I declined

Great story!  WTG on the ring return. 

HH

Art, John you two are a couple of great guy's,  You are giving all us Detectorists a great name!

Good deal Art....Gotta make you feel good.!!!!Thank's for sharing and HH!!

Way to go Southcacalaky, what goes around comes around, good karma will come your way and you will be rewarded even more.

I am sure the feeling you got on returning it was reward enough which makes it even better when the karma runs full circle.

GL & GH

He does look happy to have his ring back.

Temptation, temptation.  You did the right thing and actually went above and beyond what most would have done.
Good to see that you reunited the ring with the rightful owner.
Nice find.

I know he had to be one happy fellow to get that back! You did good, Art!!!

                                             

What goes around comes around!    I am sure he is a happy man!!

Good find ,Good Job on Returning It.....

Art, John you two are a couple of great guy's,  You are giving all us Detectorists a great name!

I appreciate it, Just gotta do the right thing, Thanks for the good words, Art...

U did good...we need more folks like you..HH

Hey Buddy......

Great job! You fulfilled your duty as an honest detectorist and every one is happy. Thanks for sharing your story.......Keep up the good work!!

Happy Hunting,

Moon

Yes I agree. Your integrity is awesome !

Nice to know that there are still people that do the right thing
Nice Going

good honorible man wish there were more like you--Ivan

That's a nice ring. I hope for the owners sake that he realizes where he lost it and it gets returned. I found a gold tennis bracelet in the carpark at work several years ago and just handed it over to security. If I lost something valuable I would hope that whomever found it would do the same.

I would never turn anything of value over to security.  I will gladly give them my contact information where the owner can contact me, if they can provide me with a detailed description of the item.
