Ryan Bonner was swimming in Cameron Lake at around 6pm on 1 September when he made the discovery.
“When I came back out of the water to sit down, I kicked up some rings,” he said. “I bent down and picked them up.”
He thought it was very nice jewellery and that it might be a wedding ring. The jewellery, two earrings and four rings, were found linked together near the Cameron Lake rest area.
“I just want to get it back to whoever it belongs to,” he tells Glacier Media. “It’s probably important because of the engravings on them.”
Highway 4 at Cameron Lake Bluff was closed due to a wildfire and debris, but has recently reopened, and Bonner believes someone has recently lost the jewellery.
Bonner also posted the jewellery on a local Facebook group in hopes of finding the owner, and plans to turn the jewellery over to police if no one comes forward to claim it.
“Hopefully it will find its way to the right person,” he says.
He says the person will have to identify the ring by the engraving on it.
“That’s the only real way I know how to give it to the right person, just by the inscription on it, because it’s quite unique,” he says.
