There is an old store building built in the 1940’s on one of our farms. Was planting a field behind the store and noticed a marble sticking out of the dirt. When I bent down to pick it up there was part of a ring showing beside it and I pulled it out of the ground. It was a class ring from 1959. The year my dad graduated. After cleaning the inside out I realized it had my father’s initials inside! Pretty crazy I was the one to find it all these years later. He started dating my mother when he went to college and she said he did not have a class ring then. I remember my dad talking about hanging out at that store a lot when he was younger. I can’t believe it was not crushed as much heavy equipment that I have driven over that exact area.

Even if you’re working in that area A LOT, that kind of thing is not “bound to happen” so easily.

That's crazy man. Congratulations!
I lost my class ring playing football in our own backyard and never did find it.
What about the marble though?

I bet a good metal detector could find some cool stuff around those old store locations in Madison County.

Oh yeah. I bet that will polish up nice.

Ring been in dirt for (edited to 64) years and you randomly find it uncovered laying there?

Closer to 65 years but yea, that about sums it up. Was mostly covered by dirt. I know it is hard to believe.

My bad, I did bad math.

I’m a 1981 Hazel Green grad. That’s an amazing find.
What old store was it?

I wanted to ask the same thing, but didn't want to pry.
I'm going to take a wild guess that it's out around Madison Crossroads.
I say that, because a photo that he posted once, looked like it was made in that area.
When he answers tomorrow, I'll probably have missed by 20 miles and it's out around Plevna or someplace

That’s providential! Crazy it didn’t sink lower after all those years.
