It's been a bit too cold to detect here, (5 degrees as I type) but I did manage to come up with a nice wildcard entry for January.
I was walking down a hallway at the high school I now work at, and noticed a set of earrings interlocked together lying on the floor.
As soon as I picked them up I could see T&Co. 1837 engraved on each one. I promptly stopped by the administration office and gave them to the secretary to add to the lost and found box. Later that day a girl stopped by and asked if anyone had found a set of earings. She was very happy to get them back as they were a Christmas gift from her father. The secretary told her I had found them and turned them in, so the girl immediately tracked me down to thank me. I was feeling pretty good the rest of the day.

You betcha! I'm all warm and fuzzy.
I see you also got the school job you were hoping for.

dime. My oldest US
detecting find so far.
I dig almost every
signal I get for the most
part. Go figure...
That's gotta feel good, being able to return something like that.
You'll almost certainly get my Wildcard vote as well.
(FYI to the newer folk- people who find jewelry or other items and return them to their rightful owner still get to enter the find in the monthly awards).

On a similar note, my youngest son found a class ring at his high school.
I was an out of state school and it had the guy's name on it.
I went to classmates.com and actually found the guy. I sent him an
email. At first he thought it was someone pranking him. After 3
emails I told him that if he didn't respond I'd let my son sell it for
the metal content. I sent him the ring. He wrote back that he'd
lived in GA for a while and his home was robbed. That was when
the ring was lost. He was very glad to have his ring back.
He sent my son a $20 reward for being good enough to try to
find the owner and not just keeping the ring.
So, he got his ring back and my son learned a valuable lesson.
A win-win story.

Yep. Been on full time since the start of the new year.
<< <i>I should add. If you work in a High School you work in a gold mine for roadkill coins in the halls and parking lots. Detect on the practice band field. >>
I've been averaging almost $2 a day in change on the floor. I'll keep the band practice areas in mind. There are 12 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools in the district. I should be able to keep busy for years to come.
