Two-tone gold ring with sapphire stone
Description
I found a two-tone gold ring with a small sapphire set in a bezel this afternoon around 2:15 pm near the Heartland City Market on Palm Street in Heartland Florida. It's a slim, polished band with a tiny engraving inside: 'S.R.' and a palm-tree motif. The ring looks to be in decent condition, though the sapphire has a faint chip on one side. I picked it up off the sidewalk near the fountain at Riverside Park after I saw someone looking around and seeming worried they dropped it. If you think this might be yours, message me on the site and we can arrange a safe pickup—hope this helps bring it back to its owner soon.

How to safely return this item
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the owner before handing it back
- Ask the claimant for a specific identifying detail before confirming.
- If valuable, ask for a photo with matching ID, receipt, or original packaging.
- Never post the precise location publicly. Share it only with a verified owner.
- Do not accept payment to return it. That is a red flag for a scam claim.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
