Texas boys find 95-year-old's long-lost class ring

LUFKIN, Texas – Franklin Weeks figures he lost his college class ring sometime in the 1980s while helping his church put in new playground equipment. Luke and Sam Lytle can vouch for the 95-year-old Lufkin man's theory. They found the missing ring — Stephen F. Austin State Teachers College, Class of 1937 — on Monday while testing their new metal detector at the Ryan Chapel Church playground in Diboll.

Twelve-year-old Luke says he and his 8-year-old brother thought about selling it to a gold reclamation shop, but his conscience dictated a search for its owner.

An Internet search using the initials engraved inside the ring traced it to Weeks. He gave them $20 and told them, "I hope you keep on hunting. Pretty soon you might find something you can keep."

that cool me and dad did some metal detecting on the farm and found a lot of old coins so of them dated to 1890 to 1900 and a lot of wheat Penney's

I like metal detecting you just never know what you will find, lolol when i was alot younger i use to get yelled at from the neighbors for digging holes in there yard but i found lots of money doing it.

Wasnt there another ring found in that part of Texas a short time ago?
