Fascinating Lost Ring Found Decades Later, States Away

Have you ever lost something, and it turned out being somewhere.....you just KNOW you didn't put it? Or somewhere so far away, you can't even begin to understand how it got there?

Well, that happened to a guy recently, thought I'd tell you the story. A guy named Neal in Rock Port Missouri was digging around his garden when he found a ring. It was a clearly lost, dirt covered old class ring. It had a year and a name on it, so the guy decided to try to get it back to the original owner.

Turns out, Cary lost it decades ago (think early eighties), and just can't pin down how it go away from him. But as you heard, he has an idea. Sounds like his family used to work with flowers and dirt, and so it's not too crazy to think a ring could have slipped in to something he was working on, and that got sent to Rock Port.

Here's the deal though, guys. When I was younger and dumber (still dumb, not as young), I lost stuff like this sometimes. I remember I had a mercury head dime on a ring my grandmother gave me. I lost that. And I remember I had a purple... I don't remember what kind of ring it was, but it had a stone in it and I was told to be careful.

I promptly lost that somewhere in Greg Weller's yard over on 2nd Street in probably... 1988. Never to be seen again.

And after the Mark Twain apartments fire, I lost a lot of jewelry in there. I'm sure it all just burned away though, and nobody came in and stole it after the fact*. Surely.

So stuff like that happens, guys, all the time. All the time. Maybe we should go a searching around in our yards? I let a former neighbor of mine use his metal detector on my place once, but he didn't find anything. Have you tried it?

Lostly yours,
