Lost his ring in the sea 47 years ago - and flew from Israel to close the circle

A gold ring lost in the ocean waters 47 years ago was found by a treasure hunter, who returned it to its owner. The owner's brother, who lives in Israel, flew specially to the US to be present at the emotional meeting.

A gold ring lost in the ocean waters off a Seattle beach in 1979 was found after 47 years by a treasure hunting enthusiast with a metal detector. The ring, borrowed from his brother Paul by Eric Benson, was swept away by the tide during a trip. The finder, Lucas Thuran, located the owner through the initials PEB and the school name, and flew to Rhode Island to return it in person. Eric, who now lives in Israel, flew specially to the US to be present at the emotional moment. Paul said the ring holds great sentimental value, as it reminds him of his mother and family members.
