One overcast day in late summer, 2006, White's dealer, Graham McCoy of Chatham, Illinois was detecting a nearby Springfield, Illinois park. When it started to rain, Graham headed back toward the truck still swinging his DFX. On his final sweep, he got a solid ring signal about 1 1/2 inches deep. Sure enough, 1 1/2 inches down, there it was... a 1994 silver class ring from a local high school looking as new as the day it was purchased. Engraved inside was the name of the owner.

Mark of Springfield and the class ring he had lost 10 years ago while playing football with friends were reunited on Christmas Day, 2006, when Graham returned it to him. Mark, recently returned from MP duty with the Illinois National Guard in Iraq, was thrilled to see his long lost ring and could hardly take his eyes off it. Here White's Dealer, Graham McCoy returns the ring to its rightful owner.
