Lin and Dave Keitch reunited with the lost ring. See SWNS story SWCARROTT; A RING lost in its owner's garden 12 years ago has turned up - on a carrott. Lin Keitch couldn't believe her eyes when she spotted the ring for the first time since 2006 after her keen gardener husband Dave dug up some vegetables for lunch. Lin, who was given the gold ring with a heart-shaped amethyst stone by Dave for her 40th birthday, said: "The carrot had grown into the ring. It must be a chance in a million. "Dave dug up the carrots and threw them in a tub outside the back door without noticing anything. "I picked them up and put them in a bowl of water to wash along with some potatoes and then saw the ring in front of me. "It was so amazing. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was great to get my ring back after all those years. "When Dave came in, I said, 'Guess what I've found - look' and he said, 'I've looked for that every time I've done that garden'." It was the couple's daughter, Sarah, now 37, who actually lost the item of jewellery in their garden in School Road, Monkton Heathfield.

Linda Keitchi tabas enneolematu õnn - naise 12 aastat kaotsis olnud sõrmus tuli viimaks porgandipeenrast päevavalgele. 

69-aastane Keitch sai südamekujulise kuldsõrmuse abikaasalt kingituseks. Naise sõrmede jaoks veidi liiga väike sõrmus liikus seejärel peretütre aardelaekasse ning püsis seal päevani, mil tütarlaps selle tagaaias ära kaotas.

Keitchide pere üllatus oli aga suur, kui märgilise tähtsusega sõrmus üks päev nende tagaias taas päikesevalgust nägi, vahendab nypost.com. Linda abikaasa oli parasjagu porgandeid välja tõmbamas. Olles heitnud kõik porgandid kogumiskorvi, otsustas Linda abikaasa korjatud porgandid likku asetada. Enda üllatuseks silmitses ta aga peagi tõtt oma 12 aastat kaotsis olnud sõrmusega.

«See oli imeline. Ma ei suutnud oma silmi uskuda. Oli ääretult meeldiv see peale kõiki neid aastaid tagasi saada,» ütles Linda Keitch väljaandele.
