It’s been 13 years since Mary Grams lost her engagement ring in the garden September 2004, a secret she shared only with her son.
Her daughter-in-law, Colleen Daley, was the one who pulled the lucky carrot from the ground.
"I knew it had to belong to either grandma or my mother-in-law," Daley said, "because no other women have lived on that farm.
"I asked my husband if he recognized the ring. And he said yeah. His mother had lost her engagement ring years ago in the garden and never found it again. And it turned up on this carrot."

The carrot looks a bit like a finger wearing a ring, she said.
Grams's husband died five years ago, a month after the couple's 60th wedding anniversary. She's looking forward to putting her original ring back on.
"I'm going to wear it because it still fits," she said.
