Man Reunited with Class Ring 56 Years After Losing it in the Long Island Sound: ‘It’s a Miracle’

A man recently received word through social media that a Long Islander and his metal detector found his missing class ring, lost on a day at the beach 56 years ago.

Then just Alfred DiStefano remembers vaguely standing on a dock or a pier on Cedar Beach, Long Island Sound, when the ring slipped off and fell into the water.

Receiving it through the mail, the now Dr. Alfred DiStefano was able to look at the highly personalized white gold band and ruby for the first time since gasoline cost $0.35 a gallon.

The story begins when hobbyist David Orlowski was on the beach at low tide with his metal detector. Routinely scanning the beaches of Long Island for years, he’s found many rings in his time.

“They go in the water, shrinks your hands, and off your ring goes,” Orlowski told ABC 7.
