Long-lost engagement ring found decade later wrapped around carrot

A woman has been reunited with her long-lost engagement ring after her granddaughter found it tightly wrapped around a carrot that was pulled up for dinner at their family farm.

Mary Grams from Alberta, Canada, said she remembers the moment she lost the ring 13 years ago pulling weeds on the family farm.

"Usually, when I lose something — I don't want to brag, but I'm usually pretty lucky at finding things — but not this time. No luck this time, boy," the 84-year-old told Global News.

Despite days of searching, Ms Grams never found the ring and ended up buying herself a replacement.

More than a decade later, Ms Gram's son and daughter-in-law now live on the farm.

Mary's daughter-in-law was digging up carrots for dinner in what was Mary's old garden when she found one that looked deformed.

She was about to throw it out when a sparkle caught her eye and she saw the ring wrapped tightly around the carrot.

Ms Grams told Global News she was not sure if her granddaughter was kidding when she came over to tell her the good news, but immediately knew when she saw the ring that it was hers.

"A sort of happy feeling went through [me] and I said, 'It can't be possible — yet here it is!'"

The carrot was cut, the ring washed and back where it belongs — on Mary's finger.
