Tasmania’s Mercury newspaper is reporting a rather fishy story.
In the article, Lost jewellery found in fish, we’re told that a 25 year old woman named Kristy was kneeboarding behind a boat south of Hobart when she was tossed from her board in rough conditions.
In the fall she lost a nose stud from a piercing she had done only a week before Christmas.
Her fiancé was fishing with a friend three days later in the same area and caught a decent haul of fish. When he was filleting a flathead he noticed something shiny.
Kristy was watching on and recognised it as her lost nose stud. The flathead must have swallowed the stud a few days earlier.
You’d be pretty pleased to find something that small after losing it in something as large as the ocean. Which makes me wonder why it’s so hard to find much larger items like lost keys when you misplace them somewhere in your house.
Just for the record, Pauline found my keys for me today after I left for work. Nothing quite as exciting as inside a fish but I’m glad that they’re safe.

What a story! But you are right – we just moved and all the tiniest parts made it to the new apartment – the big hook that held our breakfast-trays – it was manufactured by a friend – is gone…
One of our youth pastors was married in march of last year, and over the Christmas break he and his wife were out on a boat with friends. His wife took off her wedding and engagement ring to put sunscreen on him, and accidentally dropped her engagement ring overboard. After a few hours of fruitless searching, he prayed about it and immediately saw it on the bottom! Needless to say he told an interesting version of the story from the pulpit on sunday!
