Missing Ring Re-appears After 36 Years!

Thirty-six years ago a young pregnant housewife in a tiny single-bedroom house in Montana near Great Falls, dropped her ring down the toilet and Donna and her husband Terry could not retrieve it. When they had married in 1973, the couple had settled for a less expensive sapphire ring rather than a diamond but nonetheless, it symbolized their love and was worth a fortune to them.

According to the Great Falls Tribune Donna says she put it on the back of the toilet to put lotion on. "I saw it slip toward the toilet bowl, and I went to grab it, but I missed and it fell in. It went right down into the little hole at the bottom of the toilet. I could put my finger in that hole and feel it with the tip of my finger, but it was wedged in tight." They tried removing the toilet and searching that way but no luck so just put it back. Terry and Donna Claver sold their house in Stanford but stayed in the area and the little house sold several times after that. Just recently Terry, now a co-pastor in Stanford with his wife, just happened to be roofing a house across the street from their old home and noticed the old toilet was being replace. After offering to haul it away, Terry took a sledgehammer to it. And I'm sure you can guess what he found inside. Yep, the ring after 36 years and yes, happy tears from Terry and Don.
