Ring return gives me some good karma

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

this guy's wife lost her wedding band while cleaning up her flower garden.Found it within 5 mins.Glad to get it back on her finger. a snow squall started just after I found it. ugggh..winter is coming!
After the ring return I turned down his offer of any money for finding it Me and Lynne went to a trashy cellar hole that I have wanted to get back to.
mixed in the iron around the lip of the cellar I dug this conductor hat badge.Think it's from a late 1800's NYC Trolley Car Conductors hat.
I think the small letters on the badge is a long number 3 with the word Ave in the logo.
This was what I found on the internet.Any RR or Trolley car buffs out there care to chime in..I'd love to hear your thoughts.
*************************************************************************************************
The origins of the Third Avenue Railway System can be traced back to a simple horsecar line operated by the Third Avenue Railroad Company between City Hall and 62nd Street in Manhattan in 1853. By the 1870s, routes had been extended as far north as 129th Street and across the length of 125th Street. At its peak, more than 1700 horses were stabled by the railway to keep up with demand. By 1885, Third Avenue Railroad had opened its first cable car line on Amsterdam Avenue. The 125th Street and Third Avenue lines were converted to cable car operation by 1893.

...Took me a while to figure out about the first pic. Boy, that thing was hiding in there. Now does this mean Dave might be doing more nice things for once? :hystericallaugh: I know it's hard to do.

:hystericallaugh:Ok... So maybe Dave is nice, but he does have a short temper. I have seen ya give it back to Dick S. on FB, but between Todd, Me, and Dan you must feel like Charlie Brown. You missed the fact how someone else said finding gold was hard for ya....??

idky I didn't say a congrats on both things, on this forum...but grats on the recoveries sir.

Great job with the ring! I have yet to return any that I have found but I am sure the feeling is pretty cool.

WTG Dave on the return. Saw the snow as well at my house, UGH!

 

[BTV Digger]

Nice job Dave on finding the ring. I've had two requests to help find lost gold rings this year and unfortunately came up empty on both. :bummer:
Really nice hat badge as well. Personally I rank something like that above a toasted copper any day. Really puts a personal touch and place on the item.
