Wedding ring lost in Vail returned 5 years later, Sue and David Brenner will display ring

A man who lost his wedding ring five years ago in Vail now has it back.
David Brenner and his wife, Sue, returned to Vail last weekend to pick up the ring that was lost five years ago. It was found by a Vail maintenance worker in July.
"I'm a loan officer, I'm a very busy guy, I work 11 to 12 hours a day," David explained. "Even when I’m up skiing, I’m working, so on the ski lift I’m constantly taking off my gloves to return emails and calls."
David said he had no idea the ring had fallen off on that ski day years ago until the end of the day.
"I pulled off my gloves and said, 'Where’s my ring?'" David told 7NEWS.
David remembered he lost it at a ski resort, but after all these years he forgot where.
A set of odd circumstances brought it back.
A 7NEWS viewer saw our story about the search for the ring's owner.
We reported that Vail officials had tweeted that the ring had an inscription that said, "All my love, Sue."
7NEWS viewer Heather Brown said she saw the story on our 7NEWS app and sent it to her friend Greg Dorce saying, "You're the only person I know that is married to a Sue."
Greg responded, "My ring is a ten dollar ring purchased in Guatemala. Thanks for the thought!"
However, Greg remembered the text days later when his mortgage broker, David Brenner, mentioned his wife, Sue.
Greg asked David if he ever lost a wedding ring.
David's answer? "Yes, I did."
David called his wife to ask where it happened, she remembered it was Vail.
"It can't be a coincidence," David told 7NEWS.
David said he pulled up TheDenverChannel.com's story on his tablet and then called the writer.
"Unbelievable. That's my ring. It has the same ridges," David said. "What are the chances? Your story did a good thing!"
Vail's original tweet about the ring only mentioned the inscription with Sue's name. It turns out the ring had another inscription that David knew about.
"The date of my wedding is inscribed inside -- June 20, 1982," David said.
Vail confirmed it was David's ring. They admitted they had held back some of the information so they could identify the correct owner.
A few hours later, Vail tweeted the news that the owner of the ring had been found!
It took a few more weeks for David to find time to go to Vail, but he and Sue finally made it last weekend to pick up the ring and meet the man who found it.
"Oh my God, it's been a very long time," Sue said when she saw the ring again.
"It should've been a foot into the earth," David said after all these years.
"Somehow it came to the surface, I just caught a little glimpse of it," lift maintenance worker Ryan Portz told them. "I think I saw right away that it was a ring."
"We sure appreciate the effort," Sue said.
Sue and David replaced the ring years ago, so they went to their jeweler and he created a way for them to display the ring.
"It'll be a little conversation piece," Sue said.

"It'll be the most famous artwork in our house," David said.
