Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones recently went jet-skiing at Lake Lanier in Georgia, and he made the mistake of wearing a diamond earring worth around $150,000.  Well, he lost it.  That shouldn’t be THAT big of a deal for Julio since he’s made over $50 MILLION off his NFL checks alone.  But he must have really wanted it back.  So he hired a two-man diving team to find the earring.  He paid them $500, and told them roughly where he thought the earring came off, around the spot where he had fallen off the jet-ski.  The divers came back up with zero, zilch, nothing, nada because finding an earring at the bottom of a lake is almost impossible.  If you ever been to Lake Lanier, you know!!  If I was a betting woman, I’d say 0% chance of finding it.  (Monica)

Lake Lanier is 65 feet deep, and it’s pitch black at the bottom.  There’s also a lot of debris.  The divers said there are a bunch of trees at the bottom that have been there since the lake was filled back in the 1950s.  Basically, the only hope was that the divers’ lights might catch a glint off the diamond but aside from the murky water and the debris, the lake also has a soft bottom, so it could’ve easily become buried.  One of the divers said, quote. “It’s down in crevasses and nooks and crannies.  It’s impossible absolutely impossible.”

I’m also going to say it must be super sentimental!  (Monica)
