Woman loses engagement ring, finds it 13 years later wrapped around a carrot

A woman from Alberta lost her diamond engagement ring while gardening 13 years ago, but her grandaughter found it in the middle of a carrot growing on the family farm.

When days of searching proved fruitless, she decided not to tell her husband. I didnt tell him, even, because I thought for sure hed give me heck or something, she said. Then I finally went to the jeweller and bought a cheap ring. I only told my son, I didnt tell nobody else.

Her husband who died five years ago, shortly after the couples 60th wedding anniversary never noticed the swap, said Grams.

The missing ring remained a secret until earlier this week, when her granddaughter brought over a freshly-picked carrot that had an ornate ring encircling it. I recognised it right away, said Grams. They found it yesterday when my daughter-in-law was digging carrots for supper.

Colleen Daley said she hadnt noticed the ring around the carrot when she picked it. She had briefly contemplated feeding the malformed carrot to her dog, but decided against it, only to later notice the ring as she was washing the carrot. It was pretty weird-looking, she said. Ive never seen anything like that.
