David Johnson worked years to earn his Webster University graduate school ring … but the prized possession vanished in an instant.
When Johnson lost the ring in murky lake waters, he assumed it was gone forever. The ring had settled into the black lagoon that is the bottom of Lake Moultrie after it slipped off Johnson’s finger during a recent lake excursion.

That was before Johnson met his new best friend.

Art DiFilippo is a lot of things: a restaurant owner, MBA college student, president of two metal detecting clubs — and most recently — the man who saved a cherished piece of jewelry.

DiFilippo found Johnson’s lost class ring and returned it last week.
