Lost gold class ring found in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Tracy was attending her high school senior class picnic when unfortunately she lost her gold class ring. Earlier this year I was metal detecting at the same park where the picnic had taken place when I found the ring about 5 inches under the surface grass. How did it get so deep? The ring was lost 22 years ago in 2003. Using the name inscribed inside and some internet searching I was able to narrow the possible owners. I sent Tracy an email asking if she lost a ring at that park, and if she could describe it. She sent an exact description of the ring she never expected to see again. I was so glad to find her and be able to return her ring after all this time.
