Silver ring with emerald found in The Thumb
Description
I found a delicate silver ring this afternoon around 3:40pm on The Thumb Main Street, right near The Thumb Public Library and the Bean & Barrel coffee shop. It’s a slender sterling silver band, about a size 6.5, with a small emerald bezel-set in a simple crown setting. The finish is a soft brushed look, and there’s a tiny nick on the inner edge where it must’ve caught on something. On the inside, there’s an engraving 'A.R.' that could help the owner identify it. It felt important, so I tucked it away to try and get it back to its rightful owner. If you think this might be yours, send me a message through the app and we’ll figure out the next steps.

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.
