If they can be killed, or otherwise misplaced in space and time, then it's not unbelievable other elements of their dimensions could also find a way here. But what would be done with such a valuable tool? He has no need for it, but neither does he wish it to fall into the hands of someone else; he'd have to take it from whoever it was seeking their lost ring.
