Woman’s long-lost engagement ring found on carrot

A Canadian woman was reunited with a long-lost engagement ring that she believed she’d never see again.

Our news partners at WPTV report that Mary Grams, 84, believed that she had lost the ring while pulling weeds in her garden in 2004. After losing the ring, she had it replaced.

She received the ring in 1951 from her husband, the year before they married.

Almost 13 years later after losing the ring, Grams said her daughter-in-law was pulling carrots on the family farm this week, and pulled up a carrot that had the ring on it.
