Flushed but not forgotten: woman reunited with ring after 13 years

Minnesota woman’s 33rd anniversary ring went down the toilet, but workers recently recovered it and tracked its owner down

Thirteen years after she accidentally flushed it down the toilet, a Minnesota woman’s pipe dream came true: she was reunited with the gold diamond ring once gifted to her by her husband.

“Oh my gosh, this is my ring,” Strand said at the metropolitan council office in Rogers when she was presented with the ring for the first time since losing it. “It’s nice to see it again.”
