A historic South Dakota restaurant is trying to search for the owners of lost wedding rings, and they need your help.

Staff at the Pheasant Restaurant and Lounge have kept the rings safe since they were discovered inside the restaurant. They know these precious rings have to mean a lot to someone out there in the Sioux Empire. But they are asking the public to help locate the rightful owners in a Facebook post.

Even though no one has claimed the rights yet, the famous South Dakota eatery is hoping people share this heartfelt Facebook post that leads to the owner.

We’d love to return these treasures to their rightful owner. If you (or someone you know) is missing something important, come see us. If you can describe the rings, maybe even try them on, we’ll know they’ve found their home again.

Until then, we’ll keep them safe—because some things are too precious to be forgotten.

The Pheasant Restaurant and Lounge is guessing that the owners might not even realize they forgot the rings at the restaurant. They are encouraging you to spread the word and to share the Facebook post. If you are the rightful owners, please contact the Pheasant Restaurant and Lounge on their Facebook page. They are waiting for you!

These rings are important to someone in South Dakota.

From Frybread to Pheasants - Here are South Dakota's Official State Things

Every state in our nation has chosen things that represent the state in one way or another to be official state things. Like a flower, or animal. South Dakota is no different.

The Mount Rushmore has a state flower. But did you know we also have a state tree and a state fish? Yes, we even have a state code.

Here is what we have so far in Wyoming. Thanks to the South Dakota Secretary of State's Office for the info:

Dives Worth a Drive in South Dakota, Iowa and Minnesota

Almost every small South Dakota town has a watering hole. It’s where the locals go to kick back a few brews and engage in conversation.

Some of these establishments are located in buildings almost as old as the town itself. There might be a fresh coat of paint on the walls or new vinyl on the booth seats, but the ambiance is still reminiscent of a good ol’ dive.

If you think a "dive" is all about the sketchy clientele, the smell of the Devil’s lettuce, and stale Grain Belt, you’d be wrong. Not every dive has a bad reputation.

What makes a dive, a dive?

A dive has character. Neon beer signs and local memorabilia adorn the walls.

You might find a pool table, dart board, and a few video lottery machines.

The bartender knows the regulars by name and they know what you drink.

Some dives don't even serve food except for bags of chips and pickled eggs that sit in a jar of brine on the bar.

Dives aren't fancy. You might see 70's-style wood panels on the walls and wobbly tables leveled with a folded napkin.

Finally, the bathrooms. The bathrooms in dives are in a class by themselves and could be a whole topic on its own.

There are several small-town dives in our area with friendly faces, cheap booze with a burn, and even really good food! We use the term "dive" in the most affectionate way.

Here are some of the best and why you should go there.
