Man Finds Diamond Ring In Burlington, Searches For Owner

BURLINGTON, MA -- Brandon Heath was on his way to a Christmas party Sunday night when he stopped for gas at the Mobil station on South Bedford Street in Burlington. It was there that he found a diamond ring and decided he was going to try to find the owner.

At the party in Burlington, a friend snapped a photo and posted it to a community group on Facebook. The post has been circulated on social media and WHDH Channel 7 even ran a segment on it over the slow holiday weekend. But as of this writing early Tuesday afternoon, no one has come forward to claim the ring.

"Maybe they’ll see this and reach out and be able to describe it and say that it’s theirs," Julie D’Angelo, the friend who helped Heath post the photo, told WHDH. While Heath and D'Angelo have posted a picture of the sterling silver ring for all to see, only the owner will be able to claim it: there is an engraving on the ring which has not been publicly disclosed.
