A Cape Cod man stumbled upon a valuable keepsake that was lost on a beach 47 years ago. Jim Wirth hunts for lost treasures. He sweeps beaches and listens for his metal detector to go off. On a July morning, he found something special — a class ring from Manhattan College, Class of 1969. His chance find did not take him to a pawn shop. Instead, it set him off on a mission to find its owner. The name engraved inside was Patrick O'Hagan. His major on the side was "EE," for electrical engineering.

The solar eclipse is Aug. 21 and it will be quite the sight. Although some parts of the country will see a total eclipse of the sun, New England will have a partial eclipse. Experts warn that looking at even the partial eclipse with the naked eye could cause blindness, even though the sun is 93 million miles away. "We’re really talking about a huge amount of energy. It is not something that our eyes are used to looking right at. It’s just too dangerous," said Eric O'Dea with the Museum of Science.
