A woman who lost a gold ring 50 years ago has had it returned to her.

Joyce Tindell's senior class ring went missing three years after graduating from high school in 1956, News Channel 9 reports.

She explained that her daughter had dropped the ring and it rolled into a vent, leading her to believe she would never see it again.

However, a man carrying out demolition work recently came across the gold item and contacted the school in an attempt to track down the owner.

"I was in amazement that he tried to find where it belonged. He could have sold it or done anything with it," Ms Tindell, who is planning to wear the ring to an upcoming reunion, was quoted as saying.

Last month, a man who lost his gold wedding ring while packing supplies to send to a new hospital in Guinea found out that it had been discovered there.
