Morton said she later discovered what appears to be a wedding ring inside the purse.
"It was very obvious that it's been worn a lot and that someone for some reason took it off," Morton told KOLN-TV. "It was precious to someone. I've run through a thousand scenarios in my head."
She said the purse contained only scant other clues as to its previous owner's identity.
"I pull out some saline packets, an expired ticket to a show and a quarter," Morton said. "Then I'm like I feel something down here and it ended up being a wedding ring, a really nice wedding ring."
Morton posted a photo of the purse on Facebook along with a description of her discovery, but she said the post has yet to connect her with the ring's true owner.
"I just wanna get it back to the owner because I know wedding rings are important to people and their families," Morton said.
