Five years ago, an Indonesian man’s life changed thanks to a diamond ring that he found.

According to a report in Suara.com, Harianto, who works as a used goods collector, found the ring five days after a fire at the Supit Urang rubbish dump in Sukun District, Kota Malang, Indonesia.

Miraulously, the ring also fit his finger.

However, the 34-year-old didn’t think much of the value that the ring at that time.

“It was a diamond ring. It was as wide as my ring finger and there was a diamond about the size of a corn kernel.

“The next day I sold the ring to Sawojajar and I was surprised that the ring would cost 80 million Rupiah,” he was quoted as saying.

Money that changed his life

With the unexpected income, Harianto felt like a new man.

He built a house near his parents’ house with it which gave him confidence to propose to his then girlfriend.

They couple is now married and have three children.

“It wasn't long before I started dating, but I didn't dare to get married. But when I got a house, I immediately proposed to my girlfriend.

“I'm grateful to be able to have a household with children and it's pretty good to work like this even though it's dirty,” he said.

What a lucky man!
