She said two workers at Five Lanes recycling centre, Caldicot, "trawled through hundreds of bags" to find it. Jo Carter realised on Saturday she had lost it and it had been taken to the tip along with 15 other black bags. Two Monmouthshire council workers spent four hours trying to find it. Mr and Mrs Carter got engaged 15 years ago, but she did not put on the ring - valued at £3,000 a few years ago - very often. Mrs Carter said: "It has huge sentimental value and is also very expensive and not insured. This morning my husband Craig went to the tip and two amazing human beings trawled through hundreds of bags to find it. "Their kindness and good hearts have had me in tears." "I don't normally wear it - it's too big," she said. "I've lost 10 stone since I had it and haven't worn it for a long time. It was at my mother's for years, but she gave it back to me a few months ago." It had been kept on an old candle in her bathroom, and when she threw that out, the ring went with it. "In the evening it dawned on me. I said to my husband 'Oh my God, it's in the candle, I've binned the candle'," she added. "By the time I realised, the tip had shut. My husband called last night and they said they couldn't promise but to show up in the morning. "In all honesty I didn't think they'd find it, I spent most of the evening crying."

"A Canadian woman got an extra carrot with her diamond ring when it was found in her vegetable patch 13 years after she lost it. Mary Grams, 84, was devastated when she lost the ring while weeding on the family farm in Alberta in 2004. But she had kept the ring's loss a secret from all but her son for more than a decade. On Monday, her daughter-in-law discovered the secret - and the ring - when she pulled up a lumpy carrot. The carrot had grown straight through the ring, enabling it to be plucked out after many years hiding in the soil. She had decided not to tell her husband when she lost it, out of embarrassment, but she told her son. She went out and bought a slightly cheaper replacement ring, and carried on as if nothing had happened. "Maybe I did the wrong thing, but you get so worked up," she said. No one was the wiser, until this week when her daughter-in-law Colleen Daley decided she wanted some carrots for supper." please log in to view this image https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40956139
We had problems with that in our quiz, because the management didn't want to alienate people and lose customers. Of course, the use of phones for the quiz was forbidden, but there are seemingly some people who can't manage for a couple of hours without texting or tweeting something. Might as well ask them not to breathe.
