CARLISLE, Pa. -- Bell ringers [not to be confused with ring bearers] across the Susquehanna Valley collect money for the Salvation Army, but one volunteer in Cumberland County found something other than change in the kettle.

A gold ring attached to a note was slipped into one of the kettles in Carlisle.

The note says, "Give this to someone who can use it. God bless."

The Salvation Army's advisory board [pictured here] will decide how to handle this donation.
