There's an article in the local paper about a guy who found one from with a metal detector just recently. He found it at a nearby state park that was a popular place the day after the prom. Picnics, canoe trips on the river etc. The ring was lost 48 years ago on a rafting trip. He found it underwater and it had initials and a year engraved in it The guy got a yearbook from the correct school and went through it to find someone with those initials. He was able to return her ring to her. Kind of a cool story with a nice ending. http://www.thecourierexpress.com/ne...35a625e-ae88-5708-8817-f1e17b1d1cfe.htmlI never had one, figured I'd beat the hell out of it or lose it on the farm.

Had a HS ring, fake gold and a birthstone but not my month. A girlfriend from KS with huge tits wore it and gave it back when we broke up, have no clue when or where I lost it.
I bought my college ring in 1990, 14k for longevity and lower cost and that ring is important to me. Got too fat to wear it in a few years, about 28 years later I lost a lot of weight and it fits so I wear it.

Still have the college ring. It's a bit out of round from opening beer bottles. Most expensive opener I'll ever own. Not sure I'd spend the money if I had to do it again.

My parents were adamant buying me one when I graduated university as I was the only one of three having done so. It was a stretch for them. I went to work in a refinery when I graduated where it was not allowed. That said any jewelry, including a wrist watch, just bugged the chit out me. As such, I have worn nothing all of my 58 years.

I was way too interested in drinking anything I could, and killing everything I could to care about a class ring.
I miss my youth.

Due to work risks, I've never worn rings. There is this. I refused to let Momma even buy a wedding ring for me, though she complained about it for the first three or four years. A HS ring? No fuggin way. There was nothing I wanted to commemorate about that experience. Had I my way, I would have not even had Senior Class Photos. But my folks figured out that I had skipped the photo session and absolutely came unglued. They got me back in for pics with about one day to spare.

Huh? like others I have never worn a ring. And after busting the crystals on a number of wristwatches, I haven't had a watch on my wrist for a good long while either. Saw a friend about lose a finger when a big old ring got caught in a fence when he wrecked his motorcycle. That really convinced me not to wear the dang things, given what I was around. Sad, our friend on the back lost her leg about halfway between the knee and ankle in that wreck. tikka, was that the Apple version or the Strawberry Hill? Like math, these things count.

Still have mine from HS, still looks good, still fits. In the night stand with the rest of my Mr T starter kit.
If I ever need a loaf of bread and a pack of bologna, I know what to do with the ring.

My HS class ring was once stolen and I didn't see it for many years. Got it back at a funeral. The ring had been hack-sawed to fit the deceased thief's fat finger. My name was inscribed and his Mom knew me so gave it back wrapped in kleenex.
