The news of a US citizen who got back a ring she lost fifty-three years ago is now gaining attention on social media. A woman named Dana Scott Laughlin got back the ring she lost in high school. A couple found the ring while fishing in a California lake. In 1969, he lost his ring while swimming in Dana Lake following finishing high school. The ring had fallen from his finger to the bottom of the lake. But Dana didn’t think she would ever get the ring back. But Dana got the ring back earlier this month.

The couple had posted that they had found a ring while fishing in Lake Berryessa and were trying to find its owner. Dana’s son saw this and informed his mother. The couple also sent him pictures of the ring to convince him that the incident was true. Dana checked the pictures of the ring. Dana’s initials and the school she attended were printed on it. So the couple sent the ring to Dana by courier. Dana now lives in Alabama. Dana said she mightn’t believe her ring had been found following so many years and it was a huge shock to her husband.

According to a report on the BBC, swimmer Rory Fitzgerald found a camera and memory card while swimming in Sydney’s Balmoral Bay in 2015. So he shared a post on Facebook to find the real owner of the memory card. But in 2020, he received a reply message. The message belonged to the owner of that memory card.
