Nearly 50 years after a woman lost her boyfriend's class ring in a Maine department store, it turned up buried six inches deep in the floor of a forest in Finland.

Nearly 50 years after a woman lost her boyfriend's class ring in a Maine department store, it turned up buried six inches deep in the floor of a forest in Finland."I was shocked. And didn't really believe that it would be his. I needed to see it," Debra McKenna, the owner of the ring told CNN of the surprise discovery."How could it be so far away?"The man who found it was just as excited.

A few hours a week, Saarinen enjoys looking for historic items in a nearby forest in Kaarina, Finland, with his metal detector, and such discoveries are uncommon. He usually finds old coins, musket balls, trash or bottle caps but nothing too valuable, he said. But when he took a closer look, he quickly realized it was slightly more authentic. Debra McKenna lost the class ring her future husband gave to her 47 years ago in Portland, Maine. It was just found in a forest in Finland.

Missing mine...lost about 9 years ago.

Wow this is a lie 😂

“turn up” or “bury” Which is the truth?

Such a beautiful ring.

👍 Lost mine in 1982 at the first rest area inside Florida state line I-75 Southbound. Took off to wash hands on left on sink. When I realized it was gone, turned around when possible, got back to the rest area, And it was gone. ugh

I thought it said SHE fcking found it buried in Finland 😂 that would be nuts

So really do be raking the forest floor out there 😂

Great story!

First of all, screw you for calling 1973 nearly 50 years ago. i was born in 1974 and i can assure you im not a day over 39.

i love how stuff like that happens! how was the boyfriend (or girlfriend) notified?

I wish mine would turn up in newlisbon. It was in my car when the car was totaled. Never got it back ☹️

I also lost my will to live,maybe someone can discover for me in Finland and send it to me

What a ride

There's a logical explanation for this.

I wonder what crystal is in the ring.

What a story.

Rubik Earth Cube - The ring was on the wrong face

The purse and now the ring....

Don't seem to have a scratch on it

Yeah right. Next thing you'll be spouting about your own honesty and integrity in reporting. leader in fake, coup & cover-up.

How in the fuck is this news CNN is such garbage! This is not remotely interesting, or important, for anyone other than the people involved. CNNisTrash

I bet if she dug a little deeper she would've found all her missing socks also. Finland must be where the void of missing things go.

My boyfriend's mother would let him give me his class ring because she was afraid I would lose it. I got it after we got married....

Wut

Great news

Oh the stories that ring could tell

Someone must have taken it while it was sitting on the sink in the restroom, eventually brought it with them to Finland, and then lost it. The Lord likely had a hand in finding the ring and returning it to the deceased man's wife.

B.S.

Obviously a fairy prank

Hmm... someone found the ring in that store, put it on and went to Finland.

Right next to a mummified pair of panties.

The perks of raking the forest floor.

I will give five dollars for someone to tell me how.

Wow can someone find mine. I lost mine in a pawn shop in Indiana when I was flat broke.

Someone found it and re-lost it in a Finland forest?

Wow... that girl's got some kind of throwin arm.

Cool

Don’t let me push myself to unsubscribe you by such news

Boyfriend - “I called you all week. Where were you? You smell like wood and cologne. Where is my ring?” Her- “I was in a department store...all week”

He DID care, and it DID matter, at the time. All these feelings were registered in a continuous time space. And from the continuous time space...it came back to her to never be forgotten and, If you push me...., for her to know he is by her side. I would call it 'Cicle closed'.

Wow..What moved that stuff down to a forest😄😱❤

Amazing!

Baby Yoda found it

Your high cnn

Very important for our country

Wow.

Call off the search!

Wow. News.

Love ,real love, knows not about distance. There are symbols we proyecto our feelings on, we think inditectly, yet there are directly and witholding. Through all this...time doesn't exist, only feelings. She lost him 3years ago. She was ment to recupérate that symbol of eternity.

But how did it cross the ocean and end up in a Forrest?

I lost my HS ring in 1977. Could you look for that please?

What?

She cheated.

Was it in the finger of someone in a shallow grave

Big magic

There's definitely higher forces at work here. Such a nice story So glad for her.🤘🤘
