My friend lost her ring diving off a cliff – we went searching for it and made a very different discovery

LOSING a piece of jewelry has turned into quite the treasure hunt according to one man.

After his friend dropped her ring in the water during an outdoor trip, he dove in to find something completely different.

Colty (@coltyyandcombo) showed a clip of himself with his friends on a cliff by the water in a video on TikTok.

“Our friend Zoe jumped in the water and lost her ring. So, of course, my friend Austin and I jumped in the water to see if we could find the ring,” he said.

Colty searched the water with his friend Austin to no avail.

“After 30 minutes of searching, we didn’t find the ring. But we did discover something else.

“We found a circular metal box stuck in the rocky mud. On the third dive, we got it unstuck and brought it back to the surface.

“The metal tape was rusted shut, so we brought it back to our house to open up with some tools,” he said.

Upon opening the rusty safe, the divers found old coins as well as a firearm.

“Unfortunately, we have not found Zoe ring yet. We’re going to be going back to the location so we can find a ring or any other cool items,” he added.

The video captured the attention of viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section.

“Can you find out more about the coins? How old are they and from where?” one wrote.

“Gun thrown into a locked box in a lake? Seems a little fishy if you ask me,” another added.

“This is likely a weapon used in a crime,” a third commented. “You should turn it in to the police.”

“Bro those coins can possibly rare and worth thousands. Clean it up and go straight to pawn shop,” yet another wrote.

“This is likely a weapon used in a crime. You should turn it in to the police,” one more said.
