I've never found anything like a ring that could be traced to an owner. Must be fun to surprise someone like that though. Sue

Reunited with a ring
BY LUIS PEREZ
Newsday Staff Writer

The silver class ring with the ruby-red stone was a piece of Susan Allen-Bosco's life, lost 28 years ago in the waters off a Florida beach. Forever lost, she thought. . . .

The story fast-forwards to July 2005. Mark Prue, 44, a financial adviser, was indulging in his treasure-hunting hobby in the Gulf of Mexico, using a waterproof Fisher CZ-20 metal detector. He hit pay dirt in the waters off Pass-A-Grille Beach, a few miles south of where Allen-Bosco lost her ring.

Prue took the "black rock" home and used a homemade battery-powered device to remove buildup that accrues on silver over time. Soon he could read the inscribed name, "Susan G. Allen," and the words "East Islip High School." On one side of the stone, he saw the visage of an Indian -- the high school mascot -- and on the other side, a set of scales signifying Libra.

The ring was the only one in Prue's collection inscribed with a name. . .
