Wedding Ring Found on a Carrot After 16 Years

Wedding Ring Found on a Carrot After 16 Years

Lena Paahlsson, a Swedish woman who lost her white gold wedding ring was shocked when she found it again after 16 years, just around a carrot growing in her garden.

In 1995, she had taken off the white gold ring before a Christmas while baking session with her daughters, who live on a farm in northern Sweden, but the ring, had vanished from the kitchen counter where she placed it.

Subsequent to looking all over their house, and even pulling up floorboards in the search of the missing wedding ring, Paahlsson and her family had given up on seeing the ring again.

Up until October of this year, when she was picking the last carrots in her garden, she suddenly found her ring sparkling around a carrot.

The family provided their own explanation thinking that the ring must have fallen into the sink back in 1995 and been mixed with potato peels that were composted or fed to the sheep, since all the soil in the garden comes from composted vegetables and sheep dung.

"I had given up hope. Now that I have found the ring again ... I want to be able to use it," said Paahlsson. She added that the ring no longer fits and plans to have it enlarged.
