In 1973, a teenage Debra McKenna accidentally left her future husband's ring in a department store in Brunswick, Maine.
Fast forward 47 years and it has been found by a sheet metal worker - buried in a Finnish forest.
Finnish media reports that Marko Saarinen was using a metal detector when he found the blue-stoned, silver ring.
The ring, which had engravings identifying the school, belonged to Ms McKenna's late husband Shawn, who she dated all throughout high school and college. Mr Saarinen contacted the alumni association, who had no trouble identifying the ring's owner as it bore the 1973 graduation date and the initials SM.
Ms McKenna has no idea how the long-lost ring ended up in a Finnish forest. She said Shawn spent some time working in Finland in the early 1990s - but nowhere near the city where the ring was found and he had not seen the ring in 20 years at that point.
