Thirteen years ago, Mary Grams of Alberta, Canada, was working on her farm, something she did every day, when she ended up losing her engagement ring in the dirt. No matter how hard she looked, she couldn’t find it.
She gave up, but she wasn’t going to let her husband find out what had happened, so she decided to go to a store and buy a new engagement ring. The one she bought was similar to the one her husband had given her when he proposed to her in 1951, so he wouldn’t find out about the loss.
Over the years, Mary forgot about her lost ring, until her daughter-in-law found it while she was working on the family farm. But she didn’t find it just anywhere; no, she found it inside a carrot.
Collen Daley, Mary’s daughter-in-law, knew immediately that it must have belonged to her grandmother or her mother-in-law, because they were the only women who had lived there.
The ring remained intact for 13 years, with no signs of having been affected by its time underground, not during the growth of the carrot.
When Mary got her jewel back, she put aside the replacement she bought in 2004 and went back to using her engagement ring. According to her, it still fits her well.
Unfortunately, her husband had passed away, so she never knew that her wife had lost her engagement ring, nor that she remembered it in a very peculiar way.
