Plumbers find an engagement ring ten years after it was lost

A pair of Michigan plumbers were on a routine call when they found something unexpected inside the pipes: an engagement ring that had been lost down a toilet more than ten years before.

Rather than set the ring aside, the plumbers shared a photo on social media and asked their community for help identifying the owner. Within a few days the original owner came forward, and the ring was returned.

A decade is a long time to assume something is gone for good. It rarely is.
