He searched for years, even hiring a metal-detecting company, but had given up hope."And I'm so proud to wear something that, you know, I missed it significantly. But I'm just so happy to be reunited and have it with me again," Hunter said.Austin and Landon, the utility workers who found the ring, were fixing a pipe off Riggs Drive when they made the discovery."So we were digging on it, and we knocked something to the side, like, oh, that's just this is the brass fit copper fittings," Austin said. "I kept looking. I was like, that's a ring."The ring was wedged under a pipe, hidden in mud and sediment.Hunter wore the ring for many significant moments in his life, including his graduation, wedding, the birth of his two daughters, and the day his daughters received their own class rings.When the workers handed the ring back to Hunter, he held back tears and said, "Oh wow. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I'm glad we can get it back."The crew used the engravings on the ring to track down its owner, with help from the Clemson Alumni Association."It was absolutely incredible. It was, you know, I just couldn't believe it," Hunter said.Hunter explained that the ring likely fell into a storm drain near his yard and traveled only a short distance downstream.Austin and Landon reflected on the discovery, saying, "Just the chances of finding that are so small. It's insane that we even saw it."On Tuesday, the ring was returned to Hunter, completing the circle of memories."And it's just, it's a day I'll never forget. I'll never forget," Hunter said.Hunter added that he had been putting off getting the ring resized before it went missing but has learned his lesson and plans to resize it soon.</div></body>
