"I just all of a sudden felt something like a tooth or a filling and it's terrifying," Antosh told PIX11.
"I got the floor manager and asked how often does this happen," Antosh told PIX11. "And he said I've never heard of that happening yet," he added.
The 66-year-old man was having lunch with his high school buddy at Grand CentralĄ¯s Oyster Bar when he found the pearl. Some pearl experts estimate its worth between $2,000 to $4,000 - that's somewhere around Rs?1,42,070 to Rs 2,84,140.
"That was by far the best oyster pan roast I ever ordered," says Mr Antosh.
