Thirty-six years after Donna Claver lost her engagement ring, Terry Claver recovered it from a broken toilet.

STANFORD, Mont. – Terry and Donna Claver have the type of marriage that newlyweds imagine for themselves one day. After nearly four decades together, the Clavers’ love and affection for each other still shines through.

This Thanksgiving, a lost symbol of the Clavers’ love returned unexpectedly. After missing for more than 36 years, Terry found the engagement ring he bought Donna – back when he was a 19-year-old farm kid and she was the new girl in Stanford.

Have you ever lost something valuable?
