A maintenance employee was working on some equipment at the Rogers Wastewater Treatment Plant in Rogers, Minnesota . . . north of Minneapolis . . . when he found a diamond ring. It was a total coincidence . . . he just happened to notice something shiny in the sand and grit, and fished it out. He said that it's not something you could ever find by TRYING to look for it . . . it was just a stroke of luck, which he compared to the "odds of winning the lottery."
They're trying to find the owner, so they aren't releasing an image of it. The problem is: This wastewater isn't ever fully cleaned out, so it could've been lost down the drain in Rogers anytime between now . . . and 60 YEARS AGO when the plant first opened.
They don't know exactly how the ring got there, but it could've accidentally dropped into a drain, or been INTENTIONALLY flushed . . . meaning someone may not want it back. If anyone did lose a ring in that area, reach out to them. They say it's unique enough that they'd know if it was yours.
