When the club got an email from a young man who had lost his wedding ring wondering if we would be prepared to have a look for it, I was instantly reminded of the prologue to Lord of the Rings. The ring it seems had betrayed its owner and slipped off while he cooled off in the summer heat at the Falls of Falloch - a site that the Barrman and I would subsequently write the dive guide for.
Barrman and I arrived and kitted up assisted by Shaun and plunged into the depths. It was deeper than we expected at 8m, and once down it was much brighter. Although, distinctly brown/gold in hue. We looked around for 45 minutes. Finding a few bits and pieces and the critically endangered Anguilla Anguilla. Sadly, we never found the ring of power.
Fortunately, word of the ring went to a friend with an underwater metal detector and it was found one week later. :)
