If you're in Mayo and missing an engagement ring, a local organisation might have good news for you.

The Mayo Mountain Rescue Group was collecting in Westport on Saturday, and when they counted their takings, they found a diamond ring in the cash.

They are now trying to reunite the ring with its owner, who can contact them or gardaĆ­ in Westport on 098 50230.

Robert Hunt, the rescue group's fundraising officer, said that he couldn't believe what he found when counting the collection.

"It appeared to be a diamond ring of some sort," he said.

"We weren't sure if it was worth a fiver or €5,000, you know?

"We contacted the GardaĆ­, we actually brought the ring to a local jewellers, and they confirmed that it is of significant value, it is a real diamond ring, so we're in the hunt for the rightful owner."
