$22k ring down toilet recovered four days after it was flushed [VIDEO]

An unnamed woman in Hampton, Virginia accidentally flushed her $22,000 diamond ring down the toilet.

After a couple of days of pumping and sifting through the waste, the ring was finally recovered and the ring is back on her finger, according to NBC's Jenna Wolfe.

City wastewater employees recovered the ring nearly four days after it was flushed down, according to The Daily Press.

The Hamptons woman initially tried to recover the ring with a plunger on Friday but waited until Monday to call the Public Worlds Department to report the missing ring.

The ring was found Tuesday after wastewater operations set up a debris trap down the water line and told the family to run water into all the drains in the home. Workers found the ring amongst the debris.

Each worker reportedly received a $25 gift card from the city to "recognize their above-and-beyond" work on the job, according to The Daily Press.
