I didn’t know that. We had an old concrete one in our backyard with a manhole in top for access.

Reminds me of that old story about the guy who lost his sunglasses in one of those pit toilets, so he took off his Rolex and tossed it in. When his friend asked him why he did that, he said, “Well, I’m sure not going in there after a lousy pair of sunglasses!”

“I climbed down into the septic tank so we could pump every bit of it through a strainer to try to find it.
That’s dedication.

While I was engaged to my wife in 1997, she lost her diamond ring and we searched the whole house - including the sinks and the toilet - but towards the end of the day, nothing.
She was very upset, so I expanded the search to include everywhere we had been that day and just as the sun was on the horizon, spotted a flash in the parking lot where she had parked her car to attend an award ceremony and that was her ring!
Been married close to 25 years now and she wears it ever day.

I think I would have pulled up the toilet first. It’s not that hard to do.

Does she even want it back at all, considering where the ring has been all this time? Maybe better to pawn that “toilet ring” and buy another piece of jewelry, fresh and clean, worthy of touching with one’s bare skin.

Would be in perfect condition, just need cleaning a little and rinse in pure alcohol, good as new................

Make a fork or spoon out of it?
To: virgil
No. I’ve done it a number of times. It’s quite easy.

My wife takes her rings off and leaves them laying on counters. It drives me nuts. The only time I’ve taken off my ring is when I was in surgery.

The diamond fell out of my ring and I couldn't find it. I shouted for my dear husband.
He walked into the laundry room, said, "There it is," leaned over and picked it up and handed it to me.
We immediately headed out to the jeweler to have the four-prong setting changed to a six-prong.
Sure do miss that man! He was not only sharp-eyed (20/15 vision) he was lucky!

When looking for something tiny on the floor, hold a flashlight a couple of inches above and horizontally to the floor and look for something casting a tiny shadow.

Like reusable body parts, it is washable, even more so.
