Here’s an interesting tidbit from Fashion Gossip Weekly.

A California woman’s 7-carat diamond ring accidentally slipped into a toilet in a restaurant restroom just as it was flushing. The city and several plumbers told Allison Berry the $70,000 stone was a lost cause and could not be retrieved.

Eventually, Mr. Rooter plumber Mike Roberts, using a tiny video camera, spotted the gem several feet down the drain pipe and dug up the floor with a jack hammer. The bill came to $6,200.
