A gold wedding ring has been discovered in a US lake nearly 40 years after it was lost.<BR/><BR/>The heavy gold band inscribed with both the bride and groom's initials was lost during water skiing at Prospect Lake back in 1965, according to the Denver Channel.<BR/><BR/>It was only found as a result of current draining work being conducted by the city.<BR/><BR/>Widow Carolyn Case-Greening claimed the discovery was "a total miracle" and it is a particularly big find as her husband, who the ring belonged to, died 16 years ago.<BR/><BR/>A host of treasure seekers with metal detectors have all come out to hunt for items in the lake before the city relines and refills it.<img src="http://directnews.dehavilland.co.uk/dn.gif?feedid=196&itemid=2671153"/>
