I dropped my wedding ring in the lake. This is how I felt when I found it.

My dad found someone's school ring while scuba diving. It had been there so long that it was coral encrusted. He cleaned it off, tracked down the guy through the school info, and sent him the ring. He got back a massive crate of almonds (the guy worked on an almond farm, or owned it, or something).

Same thing happened to me (in the ocean). Slipped right off my finger. Froze where I was, felt with my toes in circles around where I thought it dropped, and picked it up with my toes. Agree on that "my precious" feeling.

Lucky you found it. Some dumb girl who was out on the boat with us once dropped her grandmothers necklace into the lake and we never found it. Why would you put something like that on the side of a boat is beyond me but we were all pissed off that we wasted 3 hours looking for the thing in 10 foot deep water. Someone had the idea of marking the spot and coming back during a drought to look for it but the tides would have probably carried it off.

I was on a small beach serving as best man for my dad's wedding. I had just made the sorriest example out of Canon in D on classical guitar. Somewhere in between picking up and putting down the guitar one of the rings fell out of my pocket and burrowed itself in the sand. I didn't realize one was gone until they were called for. Pissing my pants I looked at the sand for 2 seconds, took a random swipe and found it.

I'm so glad you found it. I lost my engagement ring in the lake last month. We drove a 10 hour trip to get our snorkel gear and borrow a metal detector and we still didn't find it. RIP ring. :(

Got married just shy of two years ago. Deliberately bought a cheap and simple ring, easy to replace, because I knew I had a very high chance of losing it sometime. ($30 tungsten carbide comfort fit ring on Amazon.com) My wife doesn't care, she accepts my hard, unsentimental, practical nature unconditionally.

In fact, the ring I wear these days is not the one she put on my finger at our wedding. It ended up being a half-size too big for my finger, prone to flying off when I shake my hands dry after washing, or even just slipping off when I'm swimming.

The original is still around, somewhere, but all my wife cares about is that I wear a ring, not which particular piece of metal.

Her own ring, on the other hand, she carefully designed herself and paid a lot of money for, so she'd be pretty upset if she lost it.

If anyone is from Texas, a buddy of mine lost his A&M graduation ring floating the Frio.

2 years later someone found it, sent it to A&M and they mailed it back to him.

I'm always amazed at the odds of that happening.

Oh, and diving Cabo blows.

Same thing happened to my engagement ring about two weeks after he proposed. :/

We went white water rafting, and the cold shrunk my fingers a bit, so when I was helping my fiance into the raft, he accidentally clawed it right off my hand and into the white water and rocks. :/

When my mom was pregnant with my brother, her fingers got so swollen that she had to put her wedding ring on her pinkie.

One day she and my dad were in the park feeding ducks.

And her wedding ring flew off her finger.

The legend is that a duck ate it, but who knows man. Who knows.

I've lost three pairs of glasses in a lake. The first time I was around ten, didn't realize they were on, and dove headfirst off the boat into the deepest part of the lake. Fuck. Gone. Second pair I was around thirteen and my sister kicked them while she was diving and they got pinned underneath a rock somehow, and the third time I dove into the lake with them on again. Now whenever I go swimming at my cottage I put my glasses inside. ALWAYS.

I have a 4x4x4 compost pit in my back yard. Earlier this year, I raked all the dead leaves from my lawn adn garden into that pit. As I was putting the last shovelful of leaves in there, my ring fell off.

It took a month and I had to excavate the whole pit, but i finally found my ring. Best feeling ever.

My wife was totally cool with the ordeal. She didn't value value as anything more than a symbol, and was OK with me not finding it or buying a new one.

I lost my engagement ring in 5 ft deep water three weeks ago. We dove with goggles and even somehow borrowed an underwater metal detective by a friend of a friend of someone who lived by my friend's cabin and still didn't find it! It was my own damn fault for skinny dipping while very very drunk but still, resurfacing after jumping in after feeling it slip off was probably one of the worst moments in my life thus far. So I guess my life has been pretty good on the spectrum of human unfortunateness! But still this sucked and I don't think we'll ever find it.

My wife and I got married in Jamaica. We wore our rings in to not lose them in our luggage. Upon reaching the resort after HOURS at customs we went for a swim. I lost my ring, the day before the wedding. Luckily there was a shop on site without hugely marked up prices, and my father got me a wedding gift. Now I have one that means more than my cheap ring I bought myself before.

I had a similar experience with a ring my girl gave my years ago. I dove into a rock pool in Australia and immediately knew it was missing. As I swam to a nearby rock I noticed it about a meter beneath the surface, clinging on the edge. I remember focusing to retrieve it and imagining Bilbo grabbing the ring in The Hobbit.

Thanks Tolkien.

The same thing happened to my dad shortly after getting married. He couldn't find it and was driving home from the lake, said forget that, turned around, looked for another hour, and found his ring. My parents have been married for 24 years now. Good luck to you.

All these stories of lost/found precious items; I would never be so lucky (I did lose my engagement ring when taking off my gloves in the winter just after we married - but that was (soooo luckily) handed in to the Police, so can take no credit there). The image is how I feel when - as happened this week - we find the almost brand new shoe that my silly old horse has somehow managed to pull off in his jungle of a pasture.

this girl I was into lost her ring in a late night skinny dip. so naturally, I want to be the hero that finds the ring in pitch black water. I find it, all is well in the kingdom, when the very next day she jumps into the lake and drops it. It kinda pissed me off I worked so hard for her, only to let me down not even 24 hours later.

My husband lost his ring at a Christmas tree farm last year. He didn't realize it until we got home (the farm was 2 hours away). We went back the next weekend and roamed around for an hour looking. When we were just about to leave he found it! I am still trying to get him to resize the damn thing!

A story:

Not married anymore, but I was. My ring was always a little too big. During the reception my new wife and I jumped into my parents pool (the reception was held at their house) in our dress and tux. When I got out, I realized my ring had come off. I scoured the bottom of the pool and finally found it. Felt the same way. Our honeymoon was a few months later, a cruise to Mexico. One of our shore excursions was to go snorkeling in this big underground lake. So I jump in and, you guessed it, my ring came off again. Only this time it's dark, and so deep we couldn't find the bottom even if we tried. So it was gone, and I felt like shit the rest of the day. Before we got back to the boat we stopped at a jewelry stand and I bought a new ring, one that fit better. And my original wedding ring will forever be at the bottom of a lake in a cave. A few years later we divorced and I moved across the country. The end.
