( CNN ) Caught up in a rip current while snorkeling at Finn 's Beach in Bali , Roxy Walsh was holding on to some rocks when she spotted something special . Engraved with the words , `` Darling Joe , Happy 70th Birthday 2009 . Love Jenny , '' the antique ring lodged in the rocks clearly meant something to both Joe and Jenny . But there were no other clues ( besides the fact that the words were written in English ) as to where the couple might live . When she returned home to Palm Beach , Australia , Walsh was determined to reunite the ring with its owner . She went to the 5,000 members of her company 's Facebook page , Kids in Adelaide , to reunite Joe and Jenny with the ring . She also created a `` Find Joe and Jenny '' page to track them down . `` Hi all . It 's Roxy here . This is a reaaaallyy long shot but would love some SHARE love on this post to help find Joe . Found this gold ring snorkeling at Finns Beach in Bali today . It 's got a family crest on it , and engraved with the message 'Darling Joe , Happy 70th Birthday 2009 . Love Jenny ' How amazing would it be to find him ! Please click share . '' The post got shared all over the world . Nine months earlier , Joe Langley had been snorkeling in the same spot in Bali when he lost the ring , which his wife , Jenny , had purchased an antique store and had engraved for his birthday . `` I went for a swim , got caught in a rip , decided the rip was going to take me and finished up on the rocks , '' Langley told Sunshine Coast Daily . `` In clawing my way over the rocks , the ring pulled off my finger . '' The Langleys ' 19-year-old granddaughter saw the Facebook post April 9 and made the connection . It turns out that the Langleys are fellow Australians , living in the town of Noosa , just three hours from where Walsh lives in Palm Beach . Walsh had the ring professionally cleaned before she met the happy Langleys in Noosa to return it .
