"Yeah, but has he found the ring?"

No ring.

I believe they found a shell necklace though. I read (only once) that it was 80,000 years old. That means the 'Hobbits' survived the Toba eruption (nearby) 75,000 years ago that almost snuffed out human life on earth.

It may be that Hobbits survived and filled a niche, because of their small size, and lesser nutritional needs.
