Talk about luck.
Losing your keys is grand. Losing your wallet is heartbreaking but you’d get over it. However, losing something as special as your engagement ring would be something you would never be able to get over.
CBC, came across Mary Grams who thought she had lost her engagement ring forever back in 2004 in the back garden.
However, fast forward thirteen years and she was reunited with her not so bright diamond when her family plucked it from their farm.
While picking carrots, Mary’s granddaughter came across the jewellery in the soil and rushed over to her grandmother to tell her the good news.
You know what? On second thoughts, for a ring that was in the ground for 13 years, it doesn’t look half bad…

This is where Mary's engagement ring was found, 13 years later – growing in a carrot in her old garden. #Camrose #yeg pic.twitter.com/8RVwqZADxb

The 84-year-old said she thinks she lost the ring while pulling a large weed from the garden in September 2004.
“We looked high and low on our hands and knees,” she said. “We couldn’t find it. I thought for sure either they rototilled it or something happened to it.”
She got the ring back in 1951, (for GAA fans, that’s the last time that Mayo won Sam Maguire) and replaced it quickly in the mid-noughties after she had lost it.
“I didn’t tell my husband because I thought for sure he’d give me heck or something,” she said.
Now she has two engagement rings, double the bling.
Mary, 84, says she didn't know if they were kidding or not, but when her granddaughter brought the carrot over – she knew: "It's mine!" #yeg pic.twitter.com/Ft7IMUeSMR
