Woman's wedding ring reappears 9 years after being flushed down toilet

A New Jersey woman has her wedding ring back, nine years after she accidentally flushed it down her toilet.
Paula Stanton was sure the diamond-encrusted gold ring was lost forever nearly a decade ago after she noticed it wasn't on her finger while she was cleaning her bathroom.
Luckily, a member of Somers Point's public works department three years ago remembered Stanton mentioning the ring.
Ted Gogol was doing maintenance work last month near a manhole, about 400 feet from Stanton's house, and he said he saw a shiny object sitting in the mud.
The ring turned out to be Stanton's, and after boiling it in peroxide and lemon juice, she is wearing it again.
