Appeal launched after ring found among donations

The spirit of giving had a distinct ring to it for volunteers from the

Sean O’Mahony’s GFC when they discovered an eye catching sparkler amid bucket donations!

Now the Dundalk club have launched an appeal to help reunite the ring with its rightful owner.

Club spokesman Eamon Doyle told the Argus that the ring was found among donations to a bucket collection at the Retail Park.

‘When I saw it, straightaway I thought it was an engagement ring. But it could be a dress ring, or of other sentimental value, as it does appear to be well worn.’

Volunteers had been leading the club’s annual collection day on Friday, January 5th and were operating at a number of locations across town.

‘We found the ring in the bucket at the entracne to the Retail park beside KFC. So it could have been a case where someone threw in some coins from their car, and didn’t notice the ring in it, or it could have slipped off their hand.’

So far the club haven’t had anyone come forward about missing jewellery, despite posting pictures and an appeal on the Sean O’Mahony’s facebook page.

‘It may have been the case that the owner didn’t know where they lost the ring, or didn’t know who we were collecting that day, ‘ added Eamon.

He added that they were checking to see if there were any special markings on the ring which the owner could identify.

Anyone who thinks they may have lost the ring can contact Eamon on 086 2679163.
