Bad Münstereifel, GERMANY
VIJAY SHAH
The website Gemstars reports today the story of a man in Germany who lost his wedding ring, only to find it in a place he never expected to discover it in.
The 82-year-old, a keen gardener, was said to have been in his yard in the small town of Bad Münstereifel a few years ago, when he found to his horror that his wedding band had slipped from his finger and gone missing. Fearful for any possible impact losing the jewellery would have on his marriage, he searched everywhere for it, but to no avail. He eventually gave up the search, and assumed his ring was gone for good.
Three years later, the man pulled up some carrots he had been growing for his kitchen. One of the carrots was found to have something shiny and golden wrapped around it, in the manner of a corset, causing the carrot to be deformed. It was the exact same wedding ring the gardener lost all those years ago. Though his wife had passed away some time after he lost the ring, she told him that one day he would find it again. Six months after her death, he struck gold, rediscovering a lost memento of his many happy years of marriage.

In sooth, it’s a logical place for a ‘keen gardener’ to find it; he undoubtedly lost it while digging his hands in the dirt, then covering it up until planting on top of it again… But, then, we always look in the least likely places, don’t we? Until the last place we look, of course, which is where it always is to be found…. Why look further if it’s found?

It’s even worse when you lose something, turn the house upside down only to find you’ve had it on your person the whole time 😀

What a nice tale. Sounded like a job for the local Detectorist
