According to the Daily Mail, Joan MacLeod was helping her parents to collect corn in August 1958 when her wedding band slipped off her finger. She searched for the 22-carat ring but was not able to find it and her husband, Duncan, eventually bought her a replacement ring.
Describing the moment she realised it was missing, she said: "I was helping to gather the corn. I had gloves on but the wool got worn and it must have slipped off. I just about went crazy.
"The following day my mum went down with a big sheet and shook out the shears of corn to see if the ring had fallen into it.
"She must have spent the whole day because I was at work. I was crying my eyes out. I felt terrible. How careless for goodness sake."
Mrs McLeod, who is now 77 years old, said she never gave up hope on the ring returning and one day she and her husband – also 77 – spotted a man using a metal detector in a field. The couple met the man, 75-year-old Eric Soane, and asked if he could find the ring.
Two hours later, Mr Soane had recovered the item.
Speaking of the moment she was reunited with her wedding ring, Mrs McLeod said: "He produced this little plastic bag from his pocket and said, 'look what I found'; I just thought I would hit the floor.
"It won't go on properly now because I have a touch of arthritis and my joints are slightly swollen but I am going to take it to my jeweller to see if he will stretch it. I do not want to cut it."
Mr Soane is quoted by the publication as saying: "I dug down about six inches into the soil and I saw it straight away. The ring was shining bright from the mud."
