Lena Paahlsson of Sweden took the white gold ring off while
baking with her daughters during Christmas 1995, but it vanished
from the kitchen counter where she had put it.
The family searched everywhere for the missing ring, even pulling
up floorboards at their farm in northern Sweden to try and find
it.
Paahlsson had given up hope of finding it until October this year,
when she was picking carrots in her garden and suddenly found the
ring around one of the vegetables.
The family said the only explanation is that the ring must have
fallen into the sink in 1995 and been mixed with potato peels that
were later composted or fed to the sheep, because the soil in the
garden is made from composted vegetables and sheep dung.
The ring doesn't fit Paahlsson anymore, but she is now planning to
have it enlarged.
"I had given up hope. Now that I have found the ring again I want
to be able to use it," she told Swedish newspaper Dagens
Nyheter.<!-- google_ad_section_end(name=story_headline)
