I actually was just finished reading the article and was thinking of starting a thread on this. It looks like you beat me to it!

What I learned from this is people with metal detectors at the beach should just try the old fashion way of finding treasure sometimes!

I think I'm going to be selfish and keep the ring.

A weird anecdote is that the Habs didn't give rings to the players until 1976. In the 40's they gave them a turkey for winning the cup lol.

It could have been made afterwards...

Replica of the ring or the turkey..?

Finding a Habs Stanley Cup ring isn't surprising, try finding a Leafs Cup ring! Now those are rare!

I'll gonna say they didn't give out rings back in '46. I remember Mickey Redmond saying during a broadcast about winning a cup with Montreal around 1968 and they never got a ring.

Can't wait for Stubbsy's riveting interview with the kid who found the ring. I hope the kid likes steak cause Stubbsy is definitely taking him to Moishes.

The fantasy geek in me feel that if you find a ring by a river you should throw it back, and never speak of it to anybody.

Would have been hilarous if it had really been Elmer's ring but he didn't care that he lost it cause he's had so many.

 

[Jack DiBiase]

So, where can I buy a 1946 Maurice Richard Championship Turkey?
