School ring lost 47 years ago in Maine is found ... in Finland!

Kind of a cool story, in the Guardian, (UK).

Ring misplaced in US 47 years ago found in forest in Finland Maine resident Debra McKenna received item in post after it was unearthed by metal detectorist

“It’s very touching in this world of negativity, to have decent people step forward and make an effort,” McKenna said. “There are good people in the world, and we need more of them.”

A Finnish Ilta-Sanomat news organisation reported in January that Marko Saarinen, a sheet-metal worker, was using a metal detector in a park in Kaarina, a small town in south-west Finland, when he found the ring.

He noticed its inscription “Morse high school” and contacted the school’s alumni association. It identified Shawn as the owner because it also bore the 1973 graduation date and the initials “SM” .
