    A swimmer in a British Columbia channel found a ring that hade been dropped into the water by a man 17 years earlier. Penticton police released a statement seeking the owner of a ring found in the Penticton Channel by a local swimmer, and that the ring was engraved with the names Stephanie and Noel.

    The statement came to the attention of Noel Nissen's father-in-law. "My father-in-law reached out to me. He had seen an article on another news site and sent it my way saying, 'Is this yours?'" Nissen told CBC News. Nissen said he had lost his wedding ring in the channel 17 years earlier.

    "That ring was lost so long ago. I was just in complete shock," he said. Nissen said he and some friends had spent the day at the channel and he didn't realize until getting back to his car that the ring was missing.

    If anyone finds one on a reef off a small island, off the coast of St. Marteen then its mine. Lost in on my honeymoon over 38 years ago.

    No it was not a pretty scene. I was informed that I never wanted to wear that ring anyways and a few other things about myself, as we walked out of the water onto the beach.

    How unpleasant, sorry that happened.

    On your honeymoon?

    Dang, that's harsh.

    My husband wore his ring about a week and then he caught it on a power tool and cut his finger--just a little. I told him to take it off and give it to me. I've kept it in my jewelry box for him ever since. Rings can be dangerous in some types of work.

    In some industries, you can lose fingers (and your life) from rings or chains.

    Knew a guy in the fiber/cable industry who peeled his finger like a grape when it caught on a fitting while he was swinging down from the upper reaches on a telephone pole.

    Knew another guy who got zapped by primary power that arched, when he had a gold chain on. The scorch marks around his neck are minor considering he could have been fried. And yes, I know someone that happened to also.
