Default 20 minute hunt snags gold!

Just had time for a quicky this morning and pulled this class ring from Alfred E Smith HS in the Bronx.

14.9 grams of 10Kt.

Great find!! Have you ever been able to return any class rings, Steve? I would imagine that would make for some happy memories.

None so far. Some leads stop because the school has no current information. I leave notes on alumni pages but never have received a response to any as yet. I check Classmates.com to see if anyone is listed there.
