Hm... honestly, I don't know what was down there, but it looked kind of shimmering in the right light.

[gran approaches the canal, looking down to see if he can find it, and- yep! there it is. still softly wavering under the water, although a little harder to see now that henry is wading through and making waves.]

Right... there. Okay! A few more steps in and you ought to be able to see it.
