Ring lost in 2003 found clamming in Long Island Sound
An 82-year-old man, Stewart Petrie, recovered his wedding ring from clams in the Long Island Sound at the same spot where it slipped off in July 2003. The inscription reads MPS to SJP 9-10-67. The couple, who met at a hospital, plan to have it restored but it stays on his finger for now.
