Here is a cool YouTube video showing the finding of a ring then cleaning, researching and eventually the return of the ring.
Here is the link.

I did a little land hunting today. I don't do that often, but I always like to when I have an interesting place to look. Not much success, but did find the mystery object shown above. Maybe someone can tell me what it is.
Obviously I didn't get it cleaned yet. It looks something like a wrench on one end but is bent up on the other end like it was coat hook or something.
It was found in an area that has been used continuously for hundreds of years.
