SCUBA DIVER FINDS LOST WEDDING RING AT THE BOTTOM OF A CALIFORNIA LAKE 

A scuba diver found a lost treasure at the bottom of a California lake earlier this month. A woman named Jennie recently lost her $9,500 wedding ring in the depths of Bass Lake, about 14 miles from the south entrance of Yosemite National Park in California. Devastated, she searched for divers who could help her, and came across Michael Pelley, better known as “Merman Mike,” who is famous for documenting his journeys retrieving people’s lost belongings underwater. Pelley took the camera with him as he submerged himself into the murky green waters.

… Almost immediately after he reached the bottom of the lake, Pelley realized how difficult the search was going to be because the silt had immediately clouded out the area and he had almost zero visibility.

… When Pelley — who dove down at least twice during his search — swam back underwater, he removed his glove and searched with his hand, feeling his way through the bottom. After pulling a couple of sticks and cans out of the thick silt, he finally pulled out what he thought was going to be another bottle top or pull tab, but instead it was the ring.

Here's the video Mike made with his own camera documenting his search at the bottom of the lake, from start to finish.....
