Fridley Woman's Diamond Wedding Ring Lost and Found at Corn Maze

Karilyn Milller of Fridley lost—and more surprisingly, found—her diamond wedding ring in a pit of corn kernels at the Twin Cities Harvest Festival and Maze in Brooklyn Park, KARE11 reported Sunday.

"I said, the sign says you should take off all jewelry and empty your pockets," said Karilyn's husband Jon, who had recently upgraded the diamond in the ring. "She said, that's a good idea."

The attraction has a sign posted warning of the danger of losing rings:

FYI: The starch in the corn makes rings slip off of fingers very easily, so please be careful not to lose any jewelry in the corn pit.

But it was too late. Karilyn Miller's rign was lost.

Seven semi-truck loads of corn kernels filled the corn pit, KARE11 said—thousands of kernels contained in a pit that is 60 feet square and three feet deep.

Maze staff found the ring using a metal detector.
