A wedding ring that was lost at the bottom of a lake for two months has been found after the water was drained.<\/p>\n

Two boys spotted the item in mud in Marine Lake, Clevedon, Somerset during cleaning work at the site.<\/p>\n

Steve Watts, the ring's owner, now wants to track the pair down to give them a reward.<\/p>\n

Alan Wilson, one of the volunteers helping with the lake's annual clean-up, said Mr Watts wanted to thank the boys for "being so honest".<\/p>\n

Mr Wilson, who helps with its restoration and maintenance, said it was a "chance in a million" the boys spotted the ring in the shallows.<\/p>\n

"There's 15,000 sqm of lake bed and they found this ring which is less than 20mm in diameter," he said.<\/p>\n

"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."<\/p>\n

    Following an appeal on social media, Mr Wilson said Mr Watts now has his ring "back on his finger after 10 years of marriage".<\/p>\n

    "We did a little bit of a Cinderella and tried it on and low and behold it fitted his finger," said Mr Wilson.<\/p>\n

    "He's not in so much trouble as he was and now he wants to say thank you to the boys for finding it and for being so honest."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
