The ring was found in mud during the annual clean-up of the lake
Steve Watts from UK is a relieved man. The Somerset resident lost his wedding ring two months ago at the bottom of Marine Lake in Clevedon. As the lake was drained out for its annual cleaning, couple of boys from the area surprisingly found his ring buried in mud in the lake.
The lake is drained every summer to remove silt and any rubbish. Alan Wilson, one of the volunteers in the clean-up, told BBC that it was a "chance in a million" that the children found the ring in the lake with 15,000 square metres of bed.
He said the children left as soon as they handed over the ring to him.
"But I didn't really take any details from them and after they gave me the ring, they just wandered off and I didn't see them again," he told BBC.
The ring owner now wants to reward the boys for finding his wedding ring and "being so honest", reported BBC.
Announcing the good news, the lake posted photos of Mr Watts cheerfully posing with his ring. The post also sought information about the boys who found the ring with a promise of a "small reward" from the ring owner.
