| Class Ring Lost in Maine Found in Finland 47 Years Later. Source: WDHD link below. |
Here is detector find with a mystery that probably will never be solved. And the story is evidently one of those lost and found (or stolen) and lost and found again stories
A Maine woman says her husband’s class ring lost nearly five decades ago was recently found by someone in Finland.
Debra McKenna said the ring was a gift that was given to her by her late husband in high school in 1973 when they started dating.
She had lost that ring one day at a department store in Portland.
“I set it on the side of the sink and when I went back – once I realized it was gone – I went back in and it was gone,” McKenna told 7NEWS.
Decades later she received a call from a classmate who said the ring was located in by someone Finland.
That person contacted the Morse High School alumni association who used the initials on the ring to match it with McKenna’s late husband Shawn.
The ring was apparently buried in 8 inches of dirt in a small European town.
A shipbuilder found the ring and used a metal detector to get it out.
McKenna said she got the ring in the mail last week from the shipbuilder.
No one knows how exactly the ring got there, but McKenna said her husband believed that everything happens for a reason.
It's anyone's guess how it got from Maine to Finland.

Yesterday I showed a Salter's Eye Lotion bottle, and asked if anyone had any relevant information on the product. Susan B. found a listing from an issue of the 1926 Southern Democrat which proclaimed, Dr. Salters Eye Lotion – Relieves and cures sore and inflamed eyes. Helps the weak-eyed, cures without pain.
So that gives an approximate date of 1926 on it.
Here is the link.

Thanks Susan.
Here are a three more entries from the 1926 archives.
“Stubby,” mascot of the AEF, dog hero of the World War and the most bemedaled and bedecked dog in all dogdom, has just been mounted as a monument to his own bravery, after his death. Stubby was reincarnated in plaster and his hide mounted over the cast. In the cast itself is a metal box containing Stubby’s ashes. (From national news)
Blount County Bank has installed new and up-to-date safe deposit boxes. The boxes are large size with double lock and steel plate front. They are held inside the electrically protected vault where no burglar dares attack them.
For economical transportation, the Chevrolet is smooth and powerful. The Touring or Roadster is $510, Four door sedan $735, Coach or Coupe, $645.
The surf predictions are still looking promising for the weekend.
