    Hi all, thought I should share this story I found. Perhaps this is a
    unique way of marketing, rather like growing a pear inside a bottle
    (it goes in as a tiny one still on the branch). 

    Girl finds gold ring inside apple 

    A 12-year-old girl has found a gold ring after biting into an apple. 

    It's thought the ring may have fallen from a fruit picker's finger
    and then the apple formed around it. 

    Jamie-Louisa Arnold told the Sun: "I bit into the apple and
    something hurt my tooth. I took it out of my mouth and there was a
    gold ring. I was amazed." 

    Her mother Melanie said: "Jamie-Louisa is thrilled she found a
    golden apple. Last week she found two rings at the pool and handed
    them in - now she's been rewarded." 

    The heart-shaped ring - valued at =A330 - is engraved and has a tiny
    diamond . 

    Mrs Arnold, of Cowlinge, Suffolk, bought the apple during a family
    holiday at Waldegraves Holiday Park near Colchester in Essex. It is
    not known where it was grown. 

    The Sun's gardening writer Peter Seabrook said: "The odds are very
    long, but it is possible the fruit could seal around the ring." from:
