From the article: "She said her husband spent some time in the country, but it was 20 years after the ring was lost."

A relative of mine lost a ring on an air flight. He reported the loss to the airline but they didn't find it.

The ring was found several weeks later in his backpack, which had been open at his feet during the flight. Evidently he dropped the ring and it landed in the backpack.

My bet is that the husband in the story lost the ring and it became lodged in an article of clothing or a travel bag of some kind. The husband went to Finland with that article of clothing or bag and then lost the ring again.

"Why do men take their rings off to wash their hands? "

I'm quite allergic to poison oak. One time, after realizing that I had inadvertently been in contact, I quickly took a long soapy shower. Unfortunately, I didn't take off a ring.

Under that ring was the only place where I reacted. I learned an unpleasant lesson.

The fish I know usually go with credit card and debit card.

It’s less to carry for them when they swim. :)
