24-carrot gold! Pensioner finds lost wedding ring wrapped around homegrown vegetable
He had no doubt thought that he would never see his wedding band again after it fell off while he was gardening.
But a German pensioner has been reunited with his precious gold band after he picked a homegrown carrot – and found the ring wrapped around it.
The unnamed 82-year-old, from the town of Bad Muenstereifel, told public broadcaster WDR how he had lost it shortly after celebrating his golden wedding anniversary.
His wife reportedly assured him that he would find it, but sadly she would not live to see her prediction come true as she died six months ago.

The ring fell into the dirt where the man had planted his vegetables.
Luckily it fell on the exact spot where a carrot seed had been planted - and the vegetable grew right through the lost ring.
When the man picked the oddly shaped vegetable, he was thrilled to see the reason it had grown in such as unusual shape.
Bet that carrot tasted extra sweet.
