    Been looking for one of these for years now. 10/18/14

    Got out for some more beach hunting here in Okla. and found a ring that I have been telling my hunting buddies that I would love to find someday. As a kid back in grade school I found one just like it(no metal detector, eyeball find) and put string on it to make it fit my finger. I guess you can figure out that didn't work to good, because I lost it not long after I started wearing it. Well with all the rings I find each year I was wondering if I was ever going to find another. A good friend drove down from Tulsa about a month ago and was hunting with me when he found one and I was thinking that is just about my luck, but I was still excited for him. Then Saturday the 18th my luck changed and now I have what was one of my favorite rings that I ever owned as a kid. I am sure like me most of you have had a older kid come along and smack you on top of the head with one just like it, back in your school days. Well I was never in FFA, but I am sure proud to get this big hunk of sterling. Maybe since I have chickens that I raise now, makes me a Future Farmer of America.


    Thanks for looking,

    Dave

    I was in the FFA all through high school in the 70's. That is an awesome find!
