I thought he didn't take the ring with him to Numenor. Either way it seems kind of incredible. To not take it risks someone finding it? Perhaps he had it so well buried somewhere he didn't fear that. I find it more incredible to believe he had it at the sinking of Numenor, where it would have been tossed into the sea, for him to pick up some time later....
