While detecting at Suavies Island at a beach area late this summer. I found a beautiful ring - 14K gold. As you can see by the photos, it has a name and a year on the ring. It also has initials on the inside of the band. To me it looked like a school ring of some sort. So I proceeded to do the detective work to see if I could locate the owner. After researching the local area school; colors I determined it was a class ring from Jesuit High School in Beaverton, Oregon. I then proceeded to follow up on the initials JJW and found an article in the local newspaper about a boy who had drowned at this location in the summer of 2017. I then located the funeral home at which he had his services and through them was able to locate his mother. Needless to say she was delighted that I had found the ring and told me the story about home losing it a month prior to his drowning. I was a very satisfying feeling to know that his mom had something that was special to both her and her son.
