By Jennifer Newton A woman who lost her engagement ring 38 years ago after her daughter buried it in the garden has finally been reunited with it thanks to posting an old photo on Facebook. Grandmother Jackie Cook, 66, never expected to see the treasured band again after her daughter Clare buried it in the garden as a three-year-old in 1976. Mrs Cook, and her husband Benjamin, 69, unsuccessfully scoured the grounds of their home but left the ring behind when they moved a new home in the same Kent village of Halling in 1983. Toni Crouch, left, returns the engagement ring to Jackie Cook, who lost it after her daughter buried it in the garden 38 years ago
