Dad's Best Find - Gold Wedding Ring

Joel, my dad found your wedding ring!

Just one of our normal metal detecting trips.  This time we headed up Provo canyon to detect at Vivian Park.  We started early to avoid the heat.  We didn't find anything too exciting, just your normal handful of change, and it was starting to get hot.  I worked my way back over to where dad was working a small patch of grass. I was about to suggest that we pack it in and go get some lunch when he found the ring.  Dad said it was 2 to 3 inches deep, so it had probably been there at least a few years.

The inscription inside the ring reads: Melissa and Joel 6/28/94.

We would like to try an get the ring back to it's owner, so if you have an idea of how we could locate them, please let us know.

Now if you think you would like to buy a metal detector and go find a gold ring for yourself, know this:  You have to dig a lot of garbage to find gold.  Each time we go we end up cleaning up a bunch of garbage.  Here is some of the garbage we collected the day my dad found the ring.

Plan on digging 1000+ pull tabs for every gold ring.
