This is the story of a long lost ring. But the ring had a mind of its own. It wanted to be found. And eventually it was found. No, not that story, this one…
After 16 years, Lena and Ola Påhlsson, who reside near Mora, Dalarna, in central Sweden, had given up hope of ever finding Lena’s lost wedding ring.
The ring, which Lena had designed herself, went missing after she had put it on the kitchen counter in midst of a holiday baking session back in 1995.
The couple engaged in a frantic search for the ring, even checked behind the appliances and beneath the floor boards when renovating the kitchen a few years later, but to no avail.
But as Lena was about to gather the last of the carrots from the family vegetable patch last October, she pulled out a carrot that had something attached to it.As the carrot was so small, she was about to throw it away when she realized what it was that appeared to be “growing” around the finger-sized vegetable.
My precious.

I too, lost my engagement diamond ring over a year ago. On the fifth day of Christmas, I decided to clean my watch and lo, and behold, the lost ring was in my jewelry cleaner. Seemed fitting to find it on the day my true love gave to me, five golden rings. Oh, and St. Anthony, please be more prompt the next time something that precious goes missing.

My dad once lost his wedding ring while…er… preg-checking a cow. (There's only one "out" slot for a cow. The checking was usually done when it was well below freezing. Not fun.)
He found it during the same check, before he even knew it was lost, but wow!
