Women searching for Crabs.. finds a 50 year old wedding ring,

saivenkaat hi wow she was lucky wonder who lost the ring. I found a verypretty little ring while we were digging up ground for an herb garden. the ring had these initals ingraved inside to M.h. from mom,'love I put the ring on my mantel. a few days later oneof the neigborhood girls was selling girl scout cookies and she noticed the ring. she said I used to live here when I was six. where did you find that ring?" I told her we had dug it up in the dirt of our herb bed. She asked if it had this engraving inside the ring, to M H. from Mom,love. I laughed and said, congratulations, we found your ring. I did buy some cookies from her.

That was a treasure being found in the middle of now where. I hope that she can find the owner of the ring. If I found something like that and it was enscribed I would try and find the owner but if I couldn't find the owner. I would keep it as a keep sake. Finding things like that is special, like a needle in a hay stack.

Wow!! I know if it was me, I would be quite in shock to find something like this as well. How it was hidden for this long, is something as well. I know I would be curious though as well, and try to find the rightful owner of this ring as well. I hope that the people are still alive, or have relatives who would know it once belonged to like a Mom or grandma as well. All I can say is I would Love to know how this one turns out for sure.

I'm not sue if it had a name or intalls I might. I lost my class ring years ago back in the 90s. It had my name Shaunee and everything. I had hoped that it would of been found. i bet though if it has been found someone took it to a pawn shop or somewhere to get the gold melted.

I'd try and find the owner. Not trying to find the owner is the same as stealing. The ring might have fell of the owners finger and she might be really sad to loose it. To have it returned would make the rightful owner very happy. If I lost my ring I would want the person who found it to return it to me.

Very cool story. My dad found a Timex watch when scuba diving one time. Still worked. He is thinking about sending it and the story to Timex for a commercial.

I would make an effort to find the real owner. But it would be difficult. If I couldn't find them then I would just keep it. If they ever did turn up I would certainly give it to them.

Yes, I think if I came across a ring like that I would try to find the owner! In a way the fact that it was found on a beach reminded me of a book I read not long ago called The Letter in the Bottle, by Karen Liebreich. A bottle is found on a beach and inside it has a letter written in French and a lock of hair. The writer of the letter was a mother, grieving for her lost child, Maurice. Liebrich sets out on a journey to put together the mother's story and she goes into all sorts of troubles to try to find out. The book is a compelling true story of one woman's search for another and a poignant reflection on love, loss and motherhood. Maybe Christine Koch could also start her own search and even publish her own book about the EPH and MH love story!

i guess i will kept it first..since i dont know who really was the owner of the wedding ring..but i will not wear it for sure

Since the ring is that old, I am not sure if I would try to find the owner of the ring or not. That person may not still be living. If it was not such an old ring, I may try to find the rightfull owner of it because it is a new ring to a new couple. Maybe that person threw it away intentionally though. I may just pawn it if no one claims it.

I probably would keep it like you. I live near the Atlantic Ocean and find all kinds of things off the shoreline. I have found gems, small toys, or nicknack's that wash ashore pretty often and just let the children keep them for a while and eventually get rid of. But since there is a date and some initials I maybe would try to solve the mystery of the ring and who it belonged to. But it is unlikely it is anything romantic. Probably someone who through it into the water after finding out her husband cheated on her. Okay so I am probably very jaded. Maybe it just fell off. Interesting though.

How cool would it be to find the owners and hear the story about how that ring ended up where it did.

[i]If i find a wedding ring as old as that. I will do the same Koch do. Wedding ring is a very important thing for married couples. I will return it. If i can't find the owner i will just keep it. But i'm not going to sell it. Or bring it to the pawnshops.[/i]

It would be nice if she could find the owners and make them happy . i am sure they have looked for it and must of gave up hope . I would try and if not i would keep the ring .
