I know you don’t normally do this but I lost my wedding ring (above arrowed) Christmas Day while swimming on Greystones Beach [Greystones, County Wicklow] but by any small chance of that it’s now not pirate treasure at the the bottom of the Irish Sea and somebody found it could they drop a comment and let us know thanks.
Anyone?

Why do people swim on gstones beach on Xmas day? It’s not for charity is it ?
I went to Howth Head to get my father’s ring cut off by pliers one July- my finger had outgrown it. I thought it a bad omen but was in so much pain and blister. The father died suddenly two weeks later. Best of luck getting your ring back!
Thank hoop hopefully it comes back before my wife disappears ha ha ha.
Jaysus Drogg lol
Hope you find it
Kinda painful getting your ring cut off with a pliers no? Still whatever,,,,,
There is an easier way…
Pass a thread under the ring from the front to the back, then beginning at the ring, tightly wrap the (chunky part of)the finger in the thread.
Now take the hand end of the thread and begin unravelling the thread by pulling it away from the hand, the ring slips over the top of the wrap with no pain. no cutting.
Your welcome.
Ingenious, too late, but noted, thanks Niall. I still have the cut Claddagh and keep meaning to get it soldered back together. Especially as fingers have now lost bulk. I think Drogg’s post here has motivated me to do so. Thanks Drogg. *dispenses Karma*
You’re better off without it. How much blood went into extracting the diamonds that make it; it just represents human misery and degrading poverty.
Mine has no diamonds in it.
Oh, good! Sorry, was looking at your partner’s ring, I presume those sparkling things are diamonds? Maybe tell her to lose it, the diamond industry is a truly disgusting thing, she’s better than that.
Haha cot doesn’t give a poo about blood diamond just wants an aul barney lonely boy!
Yes, the ring was smuggled into Ireland via a goat and sold to Drogg on the Black market.
I have learned a lot about the gem trade – there is a lot of truth in your statement, but it doesn’t hold up fully as commodities and resources are what make the world go round…..despite the conditions experienced in extracting them.
Not at all I made the deal for the diamonds directly with a seirra leone war lord myself all I had to do was level a local village and sell another some Monsanto products and they where mine.
You could try asking a friendly metal detectorist to help you find it..
I really nice dude in wicklow offered this evening after seeing my post i am currently drawing him up a map. What a legend.
*yay!* Good luck!
Golden gesture. If it doesn’t turn up you can always take credit for the tourism surge plus open up a coffee truck with treasure maps.
I’d never be able to muscle in on the happy pears turf. They’d embarrass me daily with my lack of yoga flexibility.
Could Donal not PhotoShop a finger onto it?
Love it.
Charlie’s on his way and he’s not happy with you.
This guy might give you a dig out:

Wow. Mine is more of the sentimental value then the financial kind so i don’t think a legendary treasure hunter would be bothered even if i had the money to fly him out.
were you swimming with those smug chaps from the happy pear. my niece lost a go pro during the summer in the water on a beach in west kerry. it was found the next day by some caravanners. you never know it may turn up.
Yeah, you’re never seeing that again.
Of course someone who calls themselves “protect the 8th” wouldnt have any faith. The irony is killing me.
Nice try Gollum, we’re not falling for that again.
Ha deadly!!!!
My precious.
ya wouldn’t be the first to lose your ring on greystones beach. hopefully it’s not being fingered by a stranger right now..i hope you get it back lad. but let it be a lesson to you – never go to wicklow again.
There’s a “beach” in Greystones?
a son of a beach..
