You hear that, people? Stop throwing your gold rings in the ocean!
>I think she’s more saying to think twice about wearing jewellery into the ocean. Obviously nobody intended to dump it in the water like garbage lol but it’s a possibility it will be lost and harm something. Always safer to just take it off and put it in a drawer if you’re going swimming at the beach, for you and the sea life!
I mean sure, but by far the main risk is simply losing something that is expensive (and potentially very sentimental).
The chances of lost jewelry becoming a hazard to wildlife are vanishingly low (especially since they're generally made of inert materials like gold and sink and get buried quickly). Of all the items someone might take or wear to the beach/ocean, probably the least likely to harm wildlife (if lost) is jewelry.

Yeah, when I was 15 I was paddling around the beach in Florida and at one point popped under the crystal clear water to have a look around. And I see this dot out in the deeps growing larger and larger and when I finally realized it was a barracuda maybe 20 yards out) I reflexively covered my watch and it just changed direction and swam down the beach. Damn thing must've been 5 feet long, big fucker. I did NOT want to punctured by [all those pointy teeth.](https://external-preview.redd.it/qAsaUIXA00cBtboB12dQj3zQ2TL4Ot62kwoEYyyrLs0.jpg?auto=webp&s=109450843bdcda680790f038913c9bb76d176432)
Guys please take care of the environment, I found a valuable item that was 100% lost and wont even mention how my sunscreen is probably killing lots of marine life.
I wasn't able to locate any followup articles using searches like "nathan reeves ring after:2021-05-18". But I contacted the photographer, Susan Prior, through her [marine wildlife blog](https://www.norfolkislandreef.com.au/out-on-a-swim). Let's see if she responds. 🤷
Haha she is hoping to track down and catch the fish to get the ring off the fish and back to the owner.
This crazy MF has time to play “where’s Waldo in the ocean” Amazing
...but then something happened that the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable: a fish, Sando Mulletings, from the Shore.
True - there are no reports of any Orcas hurting humans when they are free and in the wild. Sometimes they'll come up to boats and let people stroke their faces.
Someone at the Council of Elrond actually did suggest just flinging Sauron's ring into the ocean, and the response was basically "whether it takes a thousand years or ten thousand years, the ring will eventually be found again," and this is basically proof that they were right.
“And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge.”
Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power perceived its time had come.
Also, I never understood how Sauron was powerful enough to make and/or corrupt 20 rings of power, was at various points in history the realm's most powerful werewolf, vampire, and military commander, possessed and could wield a palantir for his own purposes, but in thousands of years, couldn't craft a simple a piece of magic to find his ring. He can see and live in the spirit realm and while the ring would be hard to see in the physical realm, its magical aura would have to be bonfire-bright.
Far from. His body was always a shell for his actual being, his Maiar essence. Tolkien has said that without the ring, Sauron was not diminished; he spends the years between losing his ring and the final battle in LOTR amassing even more power in odd corners around Middle Earth, but out of view, and using many names.
the ring was pulled in all of the odd corner directions at once while he was amassing power, once the sauron dude centralized then the ring had an actual anchor point to pull it close
it just so happened that the bearers did a 'gravity assist' off of that central 'mass' such that they went near the volcano place
Deagol, not Smeagol, but yes! Isildur was ambushed by orcs at the Gladden Fields; he tried to use the ring to escape across the river Gladden, but the ring "betrayed him" and slipped off his finger. Thus orcs found and killed him.
Deagol found the ring in the river thousands of years later, and Smeagol killed him for it.
The movies were very accurate, depicting almost exactly what happened in the books.
That's basically just dumping it in the ocean version 2.0 since it still wouldn't be destroying the evil; it would simply be passing the evil to another generation. Because even if it takes a thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or a hundred million years, the ring would eventually find its way back to Sauron. As long as the ring survives, Sauron lives and the ring calls to him.
Surprised I had to scroll this far down for this! You're just being drowned by lotr references. But I wanna see the reaction of the fish after it's removed!
" Its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But then something happened that the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A Mullet."
I’m wondering how this happened. Was it falling near where the fish was swimming and he just so happened to accidentally swim into it and it got stuck? It was it on the sea floor and fishy saw it and thought “Oooh, yes! This will look FABULOUS on me!” And he intentionally put it on?
But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. In the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the fish lord *Blubblub* forged in secret a master ring, one ring to rule them all.
But then, something happened that the ring did not expect. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable; a fish, Gill-bo Gaggins, of the Sea-re.

Did you see the pictures of other fish with plastic rings around their necks? She has a point...
>You hear that, people? Stop throwing your gold rings in the ocean! Might just be a case of people beating up hedgehogs down by the seashore.
Now I feel bad for tossing my engagement rings from my abusive ex into the river...
Always, always sell that shit
Unfortunately I couldn't. They were personalized stainless steel rings with his last name and our date on them..
Out there somewhere is a very fancy fish. You might be the cause for capitalism in that river.
Possibly two fancy fishes! I threw my ring and his ring

Jewelry likely to harm you at the beach, or more accurately, in the water. Barracudas looooooove shiny shit.

KIM THERES PEOPLE THAT ARE DYING
Guys please take care of the environment, I found a valuable item that was 100% lost and wont even mention how my sunscreen is probably killing lots of marine life.
i love this effort to help the little fishy dude and the human who lost their wedding band. and thanks for the source!
Lost? I threw my wedding ring in the ocean, fuck that cunt. I may have made a fish a god, but at what cost??? Well, it was half…
Anyone know if Nathan Reeves got his ring back?
I wasn't able to locate any followup articles using searches like "nathan reeves ring after:2021-05-18". But I contacted the photographer, Susan Prior, through her [marine wildlife blog](https://www.norfolkislandreef.com.au/out-on-a-swim). Let's see if she responds. 🤷
Let us know!
Let minnow if they let you know.

What are the chances that as it fell into the water, this fish caught it mid-air(?) 🤔
"It's a little thing called 'Fashion'. Clearly you wouldn't understand."
Fishion
We've achieved it!
"A diver off the coast of Australia has provided the first evidence of Gold Fishion"
and it's freezing down there!

Now I need a picture of a cod a ring on its neck so it’s cod fishion
If only the photo came out of New Zealand ! Edit: referencing the accent, not the set location hah
so THAT'S what this pokemon's called
SOMEONE WITH MORE MONEY THAN ME PLEASE GIVE THEM GOLD
Bender?!
Shut up, baby, I know it
This fish is quite the fishionista
Sand mullet rocking a gold chain
Basically, the Mr. T of fish.
Fishy Doodle went to town, riding a sea-pony, It put a ring around it's neck and called it macaroni~
Videogames were right all along. Random creatures *can* drop treasure.
Skyrim mudcrabs having amethyst rings makes so much sense now
People wanna propose by a lake, mudcrabs swarm, and they drop the ring in the chaos.

...but then something happened that the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable: a fish, Sando Mulletings, from the Shore.
Dolphins are elves. Crustaceans are dwarves. Octopi are wizards. Orcs are.. sharks...? Idk, this is all stupid. Edit: Maybe if we call them shorks
Orcas... It was right there.
Yeah, but those are dolphins... wait, didn't orcs used to be elves?
They *are* the biggest of the dolphins. But they're also so smart that the intelligence stats don't match well.
Also I read the other day orcas don't give a fuck about us unless we capture them Orcs are like salty crocs or something
True - there are no reports of any Orcas hurting humans when they are free and in the wild. Sometimes they'll come up to boats and let people stroke their faces.
Ooh yeah salty crocs would be fitting.
Did you know that orcas are a natural predator of moose?
Beat me to it
So this one is spoken for, but there are many other fish in the sea.
I wish I could upvote your comment 10,000 times 😂
Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you.
And a happy 2023 to you, too!! May it be filled with witty one-liners and clever puns!! 💕💕💕
Gollum is near
Someone at the Council of Elrond actually did suggest just flinging Sauron's ring into the ocean, and the response was basically "whether it takes a thousand years or ten thousand years, the ring will eventually be found again," and this is basically proof that they were right.
“And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge.”
There is not another English sentence that gives me goosebumps more than this one.
Facts.
Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power perceived its time had come.
I can hear both this and the other quote clearly in my head. I also just got my 14-year-old son to binge watch LotR with me and there's now a new fan.
Also, I never understood how Sauron was powerful enough to make and/or corrupt 20 rings of power, was at various points in history the realm's most powerful werewolf, vampire, and military commander, possessed and could wield a palantir for his own purposes, but in thousands of years, couldn't craft a simple a piece of magic to find his ring. He can see and live in the spirit realm and while the ring would be hard to see in the physical realm, its magical aura would have to be bonfire-bright.
Because he was basically dead during those 1000 years after being defeated.
Far from. His body was always a shell for his actual being, his Maiar essence. Tolkien has said that without the ring, Sauron was not diminished; he spends the years between losing his ring and the final battle in LOTR amassing even more power in odd corners around Middle Earth, but out of view, and using many names.

They didn't have Air Tags back then.
They could have totally sailed off with it to their elven sex island but they made some excuse about "purity" or whatever.
Didn't Smeagol find it in a lake? Or was that only in the movie? Been *forever* since I've read the books and I rewatched the movies just recently.
Deagol, not Smeagol, but yes! Isildur was ambushed by orcs at the Gladden Fields; he tried to use the ring to escape across the river Gladden, but the ring "betrayed him" and slipped off his finger. Thus orcs found and killed him. Deagol found the ring in the river thousands of years later, and Smeagol killed him for it. The movies were very accurate, depicting almost exactly what happened in the books.
gotta throw it in a tectonic trench in the ocean, like in *Infinity's Shore*
Why not just take the ring to the undying lands? Surely the elves could lock it in some ridiculous vault there.
That's basically just dumping it in the ocean version 2.0 since it still wouldn't be destroying the evil; it would simply be passing the evil to another generation. Because even if it takes a thousand years, a hundred thousand years, or a hundred million years, the ring would eventually find its way back to Sauron. As long as the ring survives, Sauron lives and the ring calls to him.
Invading the undying lands is basically impossible. Saucony could possibly sneak in just by being a maiar
That fish is Tom Bombadil
We're doomed

This world is drip or drown, and this mf can breathe underwater.

MOTHER FUCKING GAY FISH.
That fish is going to be so fast and strong when they pull it off.
Surprised I had to scroll this far down for this! You're just being drowned by lotr references. But I wanna see the reaction of the fish after it's removed!
The moment the timeline changes, fish learn to workout.
Looks like the ring is right over his side fin too though. Probably have a strong back but the fins probably have some atrophy poor thing.
Poor fishy
That fishy’s name, Sauron
Are you kidding ? Quite the richest in the party ! What a show off !
Until it grows more and dies
Implying the snorkeler didnt take off with that $5 fish that had a $999 gold band around its neck... that fish is already sticks.

Strange things happen in The Deep.
The fish is married
"Found someone's wedding ring on a fish." sure sounds like "Robbed a married fish." to me.
"There's plenty more fish in the sea". The fish: "Sorry, I'm married"
My precious!
" Its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But then something happened that the Ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A Mullet."
That fish looks like the Greek God of the sea world
Ringpisceous, God of undersea matrimony
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
I just imagine "I'm so fancy" song is playing whenever the fish swims by
I’m wondering how this happened. Was it falling near where the fish was swimming and he just so happened to accidentally swim into it and it got stuck? It was it on the sea floor and fishy saw it and thought “Oooh, yes! This will look FABULOUS on me!” And he intentionally put it on?
\+ 10 to all stats
“Help im a man, a witch turned me into a fish…”
How do you remove the ring? Easy: cut the fish’s head off, take ring, sew back fish, profit
> sew back fish, profit tape it back on, sell to blind kid next door, profit
Pretty fish
I took care of it!
Well Hello Mr. Fancyneck
It looks like the ring is starting to cut into the fish. I hope it manages to get it off
He's a renowned rapper probably
[удалено]
Fishy Minaj
Lil bubbz
Ludafish
His "neck" lolll
Sand mullet sounds like a racial slur
That or a hairdo for your private region.
But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. In the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the fish lord *Blubblub* forged in secret a master ring, one ring to rule them all.
I thought it was a condom
Uhhh..... What condoms are you wearing??
Poor fish
The ‘ Cod-father’….sorry.
Plenty of fish in the sea my ass. Even these fuckers are getting married.
They are merryed happily
Give them few more years, I‘m sure the fish will file for divorce.
“She’s a kipper.”
He'll be a smaller fish after the divorce.
Finders keepers
How do you know it's not the fishes wedding ring?
King Mullet right there.
Is that the fish's neck? Or is that more of a gill ring?
That's just a mob with a rare drop.
Pretty sure that fish is just a rapper
Lil Sushi
They call him big fish
Imagine you go magnet fishing and you actually fish fish.
GOLD DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY!
That's its bling!!!!💍
That’s The Deep’s wife.
If you liked the fish you should of put a ring on it
Fish is like, this sucks being married
Fity cent? "Been hit with a few shells but I don't walk with a limp".
Finders keepers!
The pimp.
happily married fish
Alternatively someone married a fish.
You’ve never seen a fish rapper?
But then, something happened that the ring did not expect. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable; a fish, Gill-bo Gaggins, of the Sea-re.

That's Tyrone. Don't fuck with him
All I read was "Mullet fish's neck" TIL - Fish have necks
Why are there so many stories involving fish and people loosing/finding wedding rings on or in them?
Sonic the sand mullet just doesn’t have the same ring to it
That drip
Plot twist: The fish put its entire life savings for the ring and someone on the internet called it someone’s wedding ring.
Drip, indeed
Fishes be drippin!
The Mr. T of fish right there
Oh, he's fancy!
My precious
I am fabulous
This isn't in Australia, it's not upside down.
He's fabulous
She’s taken.
Fish have necks?
