LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska woman, her husband and some other relatives have found a gleam in a pile of garbage: the 2-karat diamond wedding ring that her husband had given her more than seven years ago.

Geralee Olson-Triplett says she accidentally had thrown away her ring Tuesday while tossing some trash into a can.

The couple contacted the owner of their garbage service, who told them all the trucks had dumped their trash at the landfill. But he called back an hour later to say that one of the trucks hadn’t arrived at the landfill by closing time so they could look through its load.

The next morning, the couple and relatives went through the trash and discovered the ring to Olson-Triplett’s relief.
