A Gold Wedding Ring

Amid the debris, something shiny caught everyone’s eye — a gold wedding band. It was scratched but clearly engraved with initials and a date. The fisherman couldn’t believe it. Was this ring lost in an accident? Or maybe it was part of something far darker? Local news ran a story, and someone eventually came forward, claiming it belonged to their grandfather lost at sea. A heartfelt reunion followed, and the ring became more than a curiosity — it was a symbol of remembrance.

A Smartphone

Yes, really — a smartphone. Waterlogged and completely dead, but still clearly a modern device. The model was only a few years old, suggesting it hadn’t been in the ocean long. Divers guessed it may have been dropped off a boat, swallowed not long after. It didn’t power on, but tech-savvy locals tried recovering data just in case. Photos? Videos? A final text? Nothing was retrievable, but the image of a fish with a phone in its belly became an instant meme.
