This heartwarming story tells of Mary Grams, who lost her diamond engagement ring in her garden back in 2004. After years of assuming it was gone forever, the ring resurfaced in a rather unusual manner—embedded within a carrot pulled from the soil on the family farm.
Despite losing hope of ever finding the ring again, Grams was immediately able to identify it when it was discovered. The remarkable find occurred when Grams’s daughter-in-law, Colleen Daley, unearthed the carrot containing the long-lost ring.
The ring had been lost during a gardening mishap in 2004 when Grams was pulling a weed. Despite thorough searches, it remained undiscovered until now. Grams had even replaced the ring without telling her husband, fearing his reaction.
The sentimental value of the ring is immense, as Grams had worn it since 1951, a year before she married her husband, Norman. Although Norman passed away five years ago, Grams plans to wear her original ring again now that it has been found.
The peculiar nature of the discovery—finding the ring wrapped around a carrot—adds an extra layer of fascination to the story. The carrot had seemingly grown around the ring, creating a peculiar sight.
For Grams, this discovery brings a flood of memories and emotions, as well as a sense of closure to the loss she experienced over a decade ago.
