A ring missing for more than 40 years will soon make its way back to its owner after it was discovered at the bottom of a resort pool.
A boy named Theo, 7, was swimming at Trinity Hot Springs in Featherville, Idaho, and stumbled upon the piece of jewelry in the pool, the resort wrote on Facebook.
He turned the ring in to Trinity, which called the only woman listed in its long-term Lost Not Yet Found records.
It wasn’t a match, as she’d found her ring the same day she lost it, and so the resort called on the public for help tracking down the owner, asking anyone who’d lost a wedding ring in the last 50 years to let them know and provide a description.
“With the way the bottom gets upturned so regularly it could have been recently or a long time ago,” the post read.
As it so happens, a woman named Sherrie McClure Lowery had lost her ring there back in the late 1970s, and took notice of the post.

Though she acknowledged in a comment that it was a “long shot for sure,” she shared a photo of the ring sitting pretty on her finger.
Sure enough, it was a match.

“OMG THAT’S IT!! Amazing! I can’t believe it!” Trinity responded. “We’ve cleaned the pool, searched for things, and hosted multiple crystal hunts (with 50+ people scouring the bottom for crystals) but for whatever reason it took 40+ years for your ring to return to the surface to be found!”
“I can’t believe this!! That’s crazy!” Lowery replied.
For finding the sentimental piece, Theo won a one-year membership to Trinity.
His mother, Rebecca Bloom, commented on the post, too, writing that her son would be “thrilled” to learn he’d helped spark the reunion.
